Monitoring of Test Resources 
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the 
balance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly.  The 
responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. 
Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to 
the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. In 
KERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be 
calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost. 
Testing upon acceptance 
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the 
appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage. 
Initial Commissioning 
In order to obtain exact results with the electronic balances, your balance must have 
reached the operating temperature (see warming up time chap. 1). 
During this warming up time the balance must be connected to the power supply 
(mains, accumulator or battery). 
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity. 
Strictly observe hints in chapter Adjustment. 
Check the original dimensions, see chap. 4.2. 
Shutdown and storage 
  Take off the crane scales from the crane and dismantle all load attachment 
devices from the crane scales. 
  Do not store the crane scales at open air
