Electronic Scale: KERN CFS
8 CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220
3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 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 pan.. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value
can be read.
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“. (Example: Slowly draining fluids from
a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing pan. 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

Carefully read this operation manual before setup and
commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
All language versions contain a non-binding translation.
The original German is binding.
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 such as the glass wind screen, the weighing
platform, power unit etc. against shifting and damage.
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.
4 Basic Safety Precautions
4.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual

5 Transport and storage
5.1 Testing upon acceptance

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.
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 (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.
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.
6.2 Unpacking/installation
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup
balance at the intended workstation.
Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in the
prescribed circle.
When using as counting system balance and weighing bridge must be levelled.

Ensure that transport guard has been removed
(only existing in 6 kg models)

6.3 Transport Securing
To loosen the transport guard screw out transport screw [1] anticlockwise.
For transportation carefully screw-in transport screw clockwise till to the stopper
In factory the counting system KERN CCS is preconfigured in a way that no
more changes will be necessary.
When connecting a weighing bridge (not preconfigured by KERN) the
following must be observed:
Connect weighing bridge with a suitable cable via the second-balance
interface.
Allocation of the interface connection see chapter 16.
Configure weighing bridge, see chapter 14
Adjust balance / weighing bridge, see chapter 7
Here the weight of your goods is displayed in [kg].
6.4.2 Display average piece weight
Here the average reference weight of a sample is displayed in [g]. This value is
either numerically entered by user or calculated by weighing on balance.

Voltage has dropped below prescribed minimum. Connect mains
adapter to load the rechargeable battery.
green:
Battery is completely discharged
yellow:
Battery very low. Connect mains adapter as soon as possible to load the
rechargeable battery.
6.6 Mains connection
Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be
the same as the local voltage.
Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by
KERN.
6.7 Rechargeable battery operation (optional)
The rechargeable battery is charged via the delivered power cable.
Before the first use, the rechargeable battery should be charged by connecting it to
the mains power cable for at least 15 hours. The operation time of the rechargeable
battery is approx. 70 hours. When connecting a second balance, the operation time
will be reduced. The charging period for total charge is c. 12 hours
To save the rechargeable battery, in the menu (see chap.12.2) the automatic
switch-off function [„“ „„] can be activated, switch-off time selectable
after 0, 3, 5, 15, 30 minutes.
If an arrow appears on the weight display above the battery symbol or
"bat lo" when turning on the balance, this is an indication that the capacity of the
rechargeable battery will soon be exhausted. The balance will be ready to operate
for about another 10 hrs., then it will switch off automatically. Connect the power
cable as soon as possible to load the rechargeable battery.
The LED display informs you during loading about the loading status of the
rechargeable battery.
6.8 Connection of peripheral devices
Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data
interface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply.
With your balance, only use accessories and peripheral devices by KERN, as they
are ideally tuned to your balance.
6.9 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.
24 CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220
Information about test weights you will find in the internet under
http://www.kern-sohn.com
In order to avoid errors at the piece quantity determination, both balances
must be adjusted with the same acceleration due to gravity.
In case of non-compliance counting errors will result!

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.
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 pan.
