4 Basic Information (General)
Intended use
These scales are used to determine the weight of babies in the prone position in the private sphere. Utilisation of this balance in the medical field is not permissible.
Lay or place the baby on the weighing plate for the weighing procedure. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
The balance should be checked for correct condition prior to each utilisation by a person familiar with proper operation of the balance.
Baby scales are designed for weighing children in the prone position. If babies are to be weighed in the sitting position, place them in the middle of the scale pan.
To prevent babies lying on the weighing pan from falling off the scale, they must be watched all the time. Please observe note on weighing pan!
Non-intended
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. This could cause damage to the balance. 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.

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
Dropping the balance
Test device
control
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.kern­sohn.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.
For personal balances with height measuring rods, we recommend a metrological examination of the accuracy of the height measuring rod, however, this is not mandatory as the determination of human body height involves rather large, intrinsic inaccuracies.
5 Basic Safety Precautions
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
6 Transportation & Storage
Testing upon
acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
Packing,
packing
material,
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. Attach possibly existing transport safeguards. Secure all parts e.g. weighing platform, power pack, stand, operating panel etc. against slipping and damage.

7 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
Installation
location,
Deployment
location
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.
On the installation site observe the following:
Place scales on a stable, even 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, vapors 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 charge of the balance and of the person to be
weighed.
Avoid contact with water.
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.
Unpacking
Remove the individual components of the balance or the complete balance from the packaging with care and install at the intended location.
Scope of supply
Balance, see chap. 3
Operating instructions
Batteries (1 x 9V block battery + 1 x CR2032)
Placing 1. Remove transportation protection and insulation strips
Fig.1: Bottom of the balance
Acc. to fig. 1 remove transportation screw [1] and insulation strips [4] (See Chapter "Battery operation").
Prior to an other transport apply again the transport screw.
2. Select weighing unit
The weight display can be switched between grams (g/kg) and pounds (lb.oz).
Select the required unit on the weight display by pressing the
selector switch [3] (See Fig.1) "g ' lb".
11 MBS-BA-e-1011
3. Assembling the baby scales
Open scale pan and click into place in accordance with Fig. Ensure that the latch mechanism has completely clicked into the end position.
Push scale pan onto weighing plate. Ensure correct positioning; the stop [6] must point towards the back.
Push weighing plate completely as far as the stop [6]. Ensure that the weighing plate is exactly horizontal.
MBS-BA-e-1011 12
4. Dismantling the baby scales
Carry out the assembly procedure in reverse order.
Ensure that vigorous pressure is exerted when snapping the scale pan into position with both hands.
13 MBS-BA-e-1011
Battery
operation
Remove the battery cover [2] from the underside of the scales Connect 9 V block battery, replace battery cover.
A CR2032 coin cell battery [5] for the time/date display is inserted in the factory. In as-delivered condition a insulation strip [4] is inserted under the battery contact in order to prevent switching on during transport. This strip must be removed prior to first utilisation. Undo the screw on the battery cover and remove insulation strips. Screw battery cover back on.
The scales are switched off after 2 minutes without load change in order to save the battery. Time and date are displayed alternately in this Idle mode.
If the batteries are run down soon, "LO" appears in the display. Replace battery.
The memory contents will be deleted if both batteries are removed at the same time.
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.

11 Instant help
In case of a fault in the program sequence, the balance should be shortly switched off. The weighing process must then be restarted from the beginning.
Failure: Possible cause:
The displayed weight does not glow.
The balance is not switched on.
Batteries are inserted incorrectly or empty
No batteries inserted.
The displayed weight is permanently changing
Draught/air movement
Table/floor vibrations
The weighing plate is in contact with foreign bodies
or is not correctly positioned.
Electromagnetic fields / static charging (choose different location/switch off interfering device if possible)
The weighing result is obviously incorrect
The display of the balance is not at zero
Adjustment is no longer correct.
Great fluctuations in temperature.
The balance is on an uneven surface.
Electromagnetic fields / static charging (choose
different location/switch off interfering device if possible)
Should other error messages occur, switch balance off and then on again. If the error message remains inform manufacturer.
