3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Proper use
This balance is used to calculate the weight of people in the private sphere.
Utilisation of this balance in the medical field is not permissible.
The weighing process requires that the person stands on the weighing plate in a way
that provides even weight distribution over the entire weighing plate. As soon as a
stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing pan. This may damage the measuring
system.
Take care to avoid impacts and overloading of balance abov e the s p ec ifi ed maximum
load (max) under all circumstances. 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-relat ed faul ts 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

4 Basic Safety Precautions
4.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual Attention:
Stepping on the edge of the weighing plate may cause tilting of balance or fall of
person.
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and
commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
5 T ransport 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.
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commi s si oning
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 (condensati on o f air humidi ty on the appliance)
may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment.
In this case, acclimatize the 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.

The occurrence of electric fields or electrostatic charge may result in major display
deviations (incorrect weighing results). In that case, the location must be changed.
