3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Documentation
These installation instruction contain all data necessary for placing and commissioning the weighing bridges KERN KFP V20. In combination with a display unit, described below as weighing system, for operation configuration, please refer to the operating instructions of the display unit.
3.2 Proper 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 balcance”, 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.
3.3 Improper Use
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing bridge. This may damage the measuring system.
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighing system, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. The weighing system could be damaged. Never operate in an explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion protected. Changes to the weighing system's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance. The weighing system unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default settings. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
3.4 Warranty
Warranty claims shall be voided in case
Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored The appliance is used outside the described uses Structural changes of the device Mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids Natural wear and tear The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected Overload of the measuring system
4 KFP V20_600-6000-IA-e-1313
3.5 Monitoring of Test Resources
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
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. Secure all parts against shifting and damage.
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the weighing system 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 weighing system test substances and the test weights required for this. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and weighing systems 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
4.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel. The installation of a display unit must only be carried out by a well acquainted specialist with the workings of weighing balances.
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 / return transport

6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The weighing bridges 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 weighing system.
On the installation site observe the following:
Place the weighing system on a firm, level surface.
The floor at the installation site must be able to carry safely the weight of the maximally loaded weighing bridge at the resting points. At the same time it should be sufficiently stable, that no vibrations may occur during weighing work.
In the installation site possibly no vibrations, e.g. by neighbouring machines
should occur. Do not use the weighing system in an explosive environment. Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight. Protect the weighing system against direct draughts e.g. due to open windows
and doors. Use weighing system only in dry environment, protect it 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 jarring during weighing. Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container. Keep away chemicals (such as liquids or gasses), which could attack and
damage the balance inside or from outside. Keep IP protection of the device. Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced
should electromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment),
static electricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. Change
location or remove source of interference.

or
(B) 1 access ramp and 1 foot plate set
or
(C) 2 foot plate sets
Weighing bridge with assembled connection cable
4 weighing cell feet 2 eye bolts Operating instructions
8 KFP V20_600-6000-IA-e-1313
6.3 Assembly, levelling
+ The weighing bridge must be aligned with the help of a
water level.
+ All setting feet must rest equally.
Verified weighing systems:
In case of verified weighing systems the weighing bridge must be firmly fixed on the floor. This is essential for the reproducibility of the measuring results. Optionally using two access ramps or two pairs of foot plates or a combination of both.
Accurate weighing results require a weighing bridge with perfect horizontal alignment. During initial installation and after each change of work area it is necessary to level the weighing bridge.
Placing the weighing bridge:
1. Prior to the final placing, install the four weighing cell feet.
2. Place the weighing bridge equally on the installation site and check if it is in an even position and all four feet are in contact with the floor. Level the weighing bridge by turning the weighing cell feet. For this purpose use an external levelling appliance, e.g. a water level.
3. Remove the eye bolts, re-assemble the covers of the eye bolts and weighing cell feet.
4. Ensure that the connecting cable is not damaged or squeezed during lifting and placing.
Placing the weighing bridge with access ramps and/or foot plates:
Prior to step 2 (see Placing the weighing bridge) mark and fix the position of the
ramps or the foot plates.
Place the weighing bridge equally on the installation site. In the area of the
installation site of the weighing bridge, especially in the area of the weighing cell feet, observe the evenness and the horizontal alignment of the foot plates and ramps. Compensate minor height differences with the help of the adjustable weighing cell feet. For this purpose use an external levelling appliance, e.g. a water level.
Remove the eye bolts, re-assemble the covers of the eye bolts and weighing cell
feet.
Ensure that the connecting cable is not damaged or squeezed during lifting and
placing.

The weighing bridges are designed extremely robust. However the load limits
according to the following table should not be exceeded!
Depending on the type of load receptacle, the static carrying capacity, i.e. the
maximum admissible load is:
7.2 Operation with access ramps
The load plate of the weighing bridge is an active weighing element, the access
ramps are passive, i.e. during the weighing process all wheels of the conveying vehicles must rest on the load plate.
The air gap between the load plate and the access ramps must be free. Especially
for weighing of grainy or small-piece weighing goods, the gap should be controlled regularly and kept clear.
7.3 Load/unload weighing system
Place the load on the scales using a lifting truck, a crane or a forklift truck. Ensure
that the load is not swinging when it is placed onto the scales.
Lift the load first vertically at least 10 cm above the scales before it is removed or
newly placed.
