To view the current EC/EU Declaration of Conformity go to:
www.kern-sohn.com/ce
3 Basic directions (general information)
3.1 Intended use
The scales are used for determining the body weight of people in the standing position.
The person being weighed shall stand in the middle of the weighing surface and remain calm.
The value may be read after the scales stabilizes.
The scales are designed for continuous use.
both legs may enter it.
The scales platform is equipped in the anti-slippery surface which shall not be taken
off or covered during the time the people are being weighed.
MPS / MTS / MXS / MWS-BAPS-e-1710
10
3.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the scales for dynamic weighing.
Do not leave a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage the measuring equipment.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the scale in excess of the prescribed
maximum load rating (max.), minus any possible tare weight that is already present.
This could result in damage of the scale.
Never operate the scale in hazardous locations. The series design is not explosionproof. Attention should be paid that flammable mixture may also be for me d fro m
anaesthesiological means that contain oxygen or laughing gas (nitrous oxide).
Construction alterations may not be made to the scale. This can lead to incorrect
weighing results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of the
scale.
The scale may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines. Other areas of application/planned use must be approved by KERN in writing.
Do not use the scales for determining body weight in medicine.
3.3 Guarantee
The guarantee shall become void in the event of the following:
• non-observation of our guidelines in the Operating Instructions,
• use outside the described applications,
• alteration to or opening the device,
• mechanical damage or damage caused by media, liquids,
• usual wear and tear,
• inappropriate erection or electric instal lation,
• overloading of the measuring equipment,
• scale falling down.
MPS / MTS / MXS / MWS-BAPS-e-1710
11
3.4 Monitoring the test substances
The metrology features of the balance and any possible available adjusting weight
must be checked at regular intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this
purpose, the responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as the nature
and scope of this check. 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. Test weights and balances can be adjusted quickly and at a
reasonable price at KERN’s accredited DKD (Deutscher Kalibrierdienst) calibration
laboratory (return to national standard).
In the case of the scales for weighing people provided with the scale to determine a
body size, it is recommended to carry out the check of its measuring accuracy because determination of the human body size is always connected with a very large
inaccuracy.
4 Basic safety directions
4.1 Observing the directions included in the Operating Instructions
Carefully read this oper ati on ma nual before
setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
MPS / MTS / MXS / MWS-BAPS-e-1710
12
5 Transport and storage
Secure all parts such as the weighing platform, power unit etc.
5.1 Check upon delivery
Please check the packaging immediately upon delivery and the device during unpacking for any visible signs of external damage.
5.2 Packaging / return transport
Keep all parts of the original packaging for a possibly required
return.
Only use original packaging for returning.
Prior to dispatch disconnect all cables and remove
loose/mobile parts.
Reattach possibly supplied transport securing devices.
against shifting and damage.

6 Unpacking, installation and star ti ng
6.1 Place of installation, place of use
The scale is designed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be achieved
under normal application conditions.
By selecting the correct location for your scale, you will be able to work quickly and
precisely.
Therefore, please observe the following when choosing a place of installation:
- Place the scale on a firm, level surface;
- Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing the
scale next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
- Protect the scale against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
- Avoid shaking during weighing;
- Protect the scale against high humidity, vapours and dust;
- Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time. In-
admissible bedewing (condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur if
a cold device is taken into a significantly warmer environment. In this case,
please keep the device for approx. 2 ho ur s at room temp er a ture after it has
been disconnected fro m mains s uppl y ;
- Avoid static charge build-up on the scale and people to be weighed;
- Avoid contact with water.
Major dis play deviati on s (i ncorrect weighing results ) are possibl e if electrom ag n e t ic
fields occur (e.g. coming from mobile phones or radio equipment) as well as due to
static charging and instable power supply. It is necessary then to change the scale
locatio n or remove disturbance source.
6.2 Unpacking
Carefull y r emove indivi d ua l scale parts or the whole scal e fr om its packagi ng and position the scale in its intended working location. When the mains adapter is used , be
careful not to cause the danger of falling over the power cable.

To obtain accurate weighing results with electronic scales, the appropriate operating
temperature is to be provided for them (refer to „Warm-up time”, section 1).
During warm-up the scale must be connected to power supply and switched on
(mains socket or batteries).
The accuracy of the scale depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
The value of acceleration of gravity is given on the rating plate.

scale plate.
Note: Determination of average value is not possible when a person moves too
much.
Switch on the scale with the [ON/OFF] key. The diagnostic scale self-check is
performed. The scale is ready for weighing when the „0.00 kg” weight display
is shown.
Place a person in the centre of the scale plate.
Press the [HOLD] key. When the triangle is flashing on the display, the scale
takes some measuring values and then the calculated average value is dis-
played.
Press the [HOLD] key again to return the scale to the normal weighing mode.

8.4 Mother/Child Function
The “Mother/Child” function makes it possible to determine the body weight of infants
and small children held in an adult’s arms.
Turn on the scales using the [ON/OFF] switch. The scales enters the self-
diagnostic mode. The device is ready for operation as soon as “0.00 kg” is
shown on the weight display.
Position the adult person in the middle of the scales platform. After showing
the stability indicator, the scales displays the person’s weight. A triangle s ym-
bol is shown under the “WEIGHT” symbol.
Press the [TARE] button and the readout changes to “0.00 kg”.
Place the child in the arms of the adult person. After showing the stability indi-
cator, the scales displays the child’s weight. The triangle symbol is now dis-
played under the “NET” symbol.
Press the [TARE] button again and the readout again changes to “0.00 kg”.
After stepping off the scales, the total weight of the adult person and the child
is displayed as a negative value.
Press the [TARE] button again. The saved tare value is cancelled and the
scales can be used for weighing again.
8.5 Determination of Body Mass Index
When you obtain a stable weight and display shows 0.0 kg, place a person in the
middle of the scale plate. Wait until the weighing value is stable. Then press the BMI
key. Now enter a body height.
Please take note that reliable determination of BMI index is only possible for body
height from 100 cm to 250 cm and weight > 10 kg.
A body height entered as the last one is flashing on the display. Now you can enter a
different value with the numerical keypad. Confirm the entered value with the
ENTER key, and then a person’s BMI index will be displayed.
When the BMI index value is displayed, it is presented with the arrow pointing the
BMI symbol. To return to the weighing mode, press the BMI key once again and the
arrow at the BMI symbol will disappear.

8.6.1 PRE-TARE function with 5 memories
Owing to this function it is possible to store 5 Pre-Tare values (e.g. for different
wheelchairs), and then call up them if necessary.
Saving PRE-Tare values:
To enable a later calling up values from the memory, they are to be entered into the
memory first. It is carried out in the following way:
The scale plate is unloaded, and the scale display is showing 0,0 kg.
Put a weight, whose value is to be saved (e.g. an empty wheelchair), on the scale
plate and wait until a stable weight display is shown.
Press the M1-5 key repeatedly until the display will show the „ni” (M) symbol.
Press the key with digit (1..5) shortly to indicate which number a value is to be
saved under. The previously displayed weight value is flashing for 3 seconds.
When the flashing is finished, press again the key with digit previously pressed and
the weighing value is saved in the memory (short audible signal).
By pressing the CLEAR key, the scale will return to the weighing mode without
saving the value.
The display will show the real value of the weight placed on the scale plate. When
the weight is removed, the display will show 0,0 kg.
Calling up the PRE-Tare value from memory:
Press the PRE-Tare key repeatedly until the display will show the „ni” (M) symbol.
Pressing the key with digit (1..5) will display the flashing weight value saved there.
The small arrow, additionally shown on the display, is pointing to the „PRE-TARE”
symbol. By pressing another key with digit (1..5), the appropriate also flashing
weight value will be displayed. Press the ENTER key and the value will be accepted
and shown on the display as the PRE-Tare value with minus sign.
Now you can place e.g. a person in a wheelchair or on the transportation stretcher on
the scale, and only a person‘s weight will be displayed.
To return to the normal weighing mode when the scale plate is unloaded, press the
PRE-Tare key shortly again. This will also result in disappearing the small arrow
pointing the „PRE-TARE” symbol.
