3 Basic Information (General)

3.1 Proper use

The balance acquired by you serves to determine weight and price. 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 the goods to be weighed are placed on the balance and the basic price has been set the price is calculated automatically and displayed.

3.2 Improper Use

Do not use balance for dynamic weighings. 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 or damage 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.
RFS-BA-e-1110

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 Transportation & 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. Attach possibly existing transport safeguards. Secure all parts, e.g. weighing plate, power unit etc., to prevent slipping and damage.

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.
On the installation site observe the following:
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 charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container.
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 Unpacking / Scope of delivery

Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended workstation.

6.3 Assembly post-mounted display

[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
Plug tripod [1] of the post-mounted display into the provided support [2] of the balance. Fix by using the two supplied screws [3] and [4]. Ensure that the interior cable does not get damaged or trapped.
RFS-BA-e-1110
11

6.4 Mains connection

Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use KERN original mains adapter. Using other makes requires consent by KERN.

6.5 Battery power supply The rechargeable battery is charged via the delivered power supply.

Before the first use, the battery should be charged by connecting it to the mains power supply for at least 15 hours.
An arrow [T] appearing on the weight display above the battery icon indicates that the capacity of the rechargeable battery is low. The balance will be ready to operate for about another 10 hours, then it will switch off automatically. “BAT LO“ appearing on the display indicates that the capacity of the battery is exhausted. The balance will be ready to operate for about another 50 minutes, then it will switch off automatically. To charge the chargeable battery, connect the mains cable. The LED display informs you during loading about the loading status of the rechargeable battery.

6.6 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.
RFS-BA-e-1110
12

6.7 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 for the first commissioning, after each change of location as well as in case of fluctuating environment temperature. To receive accurate measuring values it is also recommended to adjust the balance periodically in weighing operation.
The adjustment is locked for verified balances. Carrying out adjustment requires that the seal is destroyed and the adjusting switch is confirmed in step 3 when turning on the scale. For position of adjusting switch, see chpt.
6.8.1. Attention: After destruction of the seal the balance must be re-verified by an authorised agency and a new verification wire/seal mark fitted before it can be reused for applications subject to verification.
Procedure when adjusting:
Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time (see chapter 1) is required for stabilization. Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing plate.
1. Switch-on balance and during the selftest press .
2. Use the numeric keys to enter „0000“ for a password and confirm by .

6.8 Verification

General hints:
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.
After verification the balance is sealed at the indicated positions.
Verification of the balance is invalid without the "seal".
Verification notes
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 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.

6.9 Checking the balance verification settings

For the adjustment, the balance must be switched over to service mode.
In the service mode the parameters of the balance can be modified. The service parameters may not be modified, as this could damage the balance settings.
In calibrated scales the service mode is locked individually for each switch. To disable the access lock, destroy the seal and confirm the swatch (See chpt. 6.9.1 step 3). For position of switch see chpt. 6.8.1. Attention: After destruction of the seal the balance must be re-verified by an authorised agency and a new verification wire/seal mark fitted before it can be reused for applications subject to verification.
