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 The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected The measuring system is overloaded

CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220 9

 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

4.2 Personnel training

The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.

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

10 CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220

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.

CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220 11

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

and then fix it using locknut.

red:

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.

8 Linearisation

Linearity shows the greatest deviation of a weight display on the scale to the value of the respective test weight according to plus and minus over the entire weighing range. If linearity deviation is discovered during a testing instrument control, you can improve this by means of linearization.

Carrying out linearization is restricted to specialist staff possessing well

acquainted with the workings of weighing scales.

The test weights to be used must be adapted to the weighing scale’s

specifications; see chapter 3.4 “testing instruments control”.

Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain

warm-up time.

After successful linearisation you will have to carry out calibration;

see chapter 3.4 “testing instruments control”.

The average piece weight can only be determined by stable weighing

values.

If weighing values are under zero, the piece counter display shows a

negative number of items.

The precision of the average unit weight can be increased at any time

while units are being counter by inputting the displayed number of units and confirming by or (in CFS 50K-3 models). After the reference

optimization sounds a signal tone. As the additional pieces increase the base for the calculation, the reference also becomes more exact.

11 Counting

During piece counting parts can either be counted into a container or out of a container. To count a greater number of parts the average weight per part has to be determined with a small quantity (reference quantity). The larger the reference quantity, the higher the counting exactness. High reference must be selected for small parts or parts with considerably different sizes.

15 Second balance interface

When using as counting system, the weighing bridge must be connected with a suitable cable via the second-balance interface.

16 RS 232C interface

The balance is typically equipped with a RS 232C interface. The weighing data can be output depending on the setting in the menu either automatically or by pressing

(or in CFS 50K-3) via the interface. This data exchange is asynchronous using ASCII - Code. The following conditions must be met to provide successful communication between the weighing balance and the printer.

Use a suitable cable to connect the weighing balance to the interface of the

printer. Faultless operation requires an adequate KERN interface cable.

Communication parameters (baud rate, bits and parity) of balance and

printer must match. Detailed description of the interface parameters see chap. 13.2, Menu block " ".
