3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Intended use
The balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ balance, i.e. the mate­rial to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing plate. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance for dynamic weighing. In the event that small quantities are re­moved or added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results can be dis­played due to the “stability compensation“ in the balance. (Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container on the balance.) Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. This may damage the measuring system. Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the balance, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Balance may be dam­age by this. Never operate balance in explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion protected. The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may lead to incorrect weigh­ing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance. The balance may only be used according to the described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
3.3 Warranty
Warranty claims shall be voided in case Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored The appliance is used outside the described uses The appliance is modified or opened mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids natural wear and tear The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected The measuring system is overloaded
3.4 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.

4 Basic Safety Precautions
4.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
4.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
5 Transport and storage
5.1 Testing upon acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the appli­ance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
5.2 Packaging
Keep all parts of the original packaging in case you need to return the appliance. Only use original packaging for returning. Before sending, disconnect all connected cables and loose/movable parts.
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site:
- Place the balance on a firm, level surface;
- Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
- Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
- Avoid jarring during weighing;
- Protect the balance against high humidity, vapours and dust;
- Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time.
Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room temperature.
- Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container and
windshield.
EOB_M-BA-e-0710
10
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable major deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible. In that case, the location must be changed.
6.2 Placing
The balance must be installed in a way that the weighing plate is exactly in horizontal
position.
6.2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended workstation.
6.2.2 Scope of delivery

Picture: Example model KERN EOB
6.3 Mains connection
Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by KERN.
6.4 Battery operation
Remove the battery cover from the underside of the display unit. Connect the 6 x 1,5V round cells. Reinsert the battery cover. In order to save the battery, the balance switches automatically off after 3 minutes without weighing. Additional switch-off times can be set in the menu (function “A.OFF“), see chpt. 6.91, and 6.9.2. respectively. Used batteries are indicated by “LO“ on the display. Press [ON/OFF] key and replace the batteries immediately. If the balance is not used for a longer time, take out the batteries and store them separately. Leaking battery liquid could damage the balance.
EOB_M-BA-e-0710
12
6.5 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.
6.6 Adjustment
As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the balance has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory). This adjustment process must be carried out during the initial start-up, after change in lo­cation and variation of surrounding temperature. To receive accurate measuring val­ues it is also recommended to adjust the balance periodically in weighing operation.
With an adjustment weight, the weighing accuracy can be checked and re-adjusted at any time.
6.6.1 Procedure when adjusting
Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time (see chapter 1) is re­quired for stabilization.
Attention: In calibrated balances the adjustment function is switch locked. To carry out adjust­ments, set the switch to adjustment position (centre position). (See chpt. 6.8).

6.7 Verification
General introduction: According to EU directive 90/384/EEC balances must be officially verified if they are
used as follows (legally controlled area):
a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing. b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the
medical and pharmaceutical laboratory. c) For official purposes d) For manufacturing final packages
In cases of doubt, please contact your local trade in standard. Verification instructions An EU type approval exists for balances described in their technical data as
verifiable. If a balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above, it must officially verified and re-verified in regular intervals. Re-verification of a balance is carried out according to the respective national regula­tions. The validity for verification of balances in Germany is e.g. 2 years. The legal regulation of the country where the balance is used must be observed!
Balances with obligation to verify must be taken out of operation if:
- The weighing result of the balance is outside the error limit. Therefore,
in regular intervals load balance with known test weight (ca. 1/3 of the max. load) and compare with displayed value.
- The reverification deadline has been exceeded.
