4 Basic instructions (general information)
4.1 Intended use
The scale you bought is intended for weighing the weighed material. It should be considered a “non-automatic scale”, e.g. the weighed material should be carefully placed
manually on the scale plate center. The weight can be read after it has stabilized.
4.2 Non-intended use
The scale is not intended for dynamic weighing, e.g. for removing or adding small
amounts of the weighed material. The scale’s “stabilizing and compensating” mechanism can result i n display ing errone ous weighi ng results ! (Exampl e: slow out flow of t he
liquid from the container placed on the scale.)
Do not subject t he plat e to long-ter m load. T his may damage the weighing mechanism.
Avoid any scale impact and overload higher than the stipulated maximum load (Max),
deducting the tare from the existing load. This could damage the scale.
Never operate the scale in explosive atmospheres. The standard version is not explo-
sion-proof.
Never introduce a ny structural mo di fi cati o ns t o the scale. Thi s m ay result in dis play i ng
erroneous weighing results, violating the technical safety conditions, and also in scale
damage.
The scale should always be operated in line with the provided guidelines. Other operation ranges / areas require a written consent of KERN.
4.3 Guarantee
The warranty expires:
• if you fail to follow our guidelines included in the user manual;
• if you fail to use the device in line with the intended use;
• if you introduce any modifications or open the device;
• if the device gets damaged mechanically or damaged by the utilities, liqui ds and
ordinary wear and tear;
• if the device is not set correctly or the electrical system is not as required;
• if the weighing mechanism gets overloaded.

Protect all the parts, e.g. wind breaker, scale plate, power supply etc.
4.4 Testing equipment supervision
Within the quali ty assurance sys tem, you mus t check the technical meas urement properties of the scale a nd possibly of t he availabl e referenc e weight re gularly. T o that aim,
the responsible user should define a relevant cycle, as well as the type and scope of
such an inspection. The information on the supervision of the testing equipment, i.e.
scales, and the required reference weights, can be found on the home page of KERN
(www.kern-sohn.com). The reference weights and scales can be calibrated fast and
for a low cost in the KERN calibration laboratory (against the national reference) approved by DKD (Deutsche Kalibrierdienst).
5 Basic safety instructions
5.1 Compliance with the instructions included in the user manual
Before you set and start the device, read this user manual thoroughly
even if you are familiar with KERN scales.
All language versions contain non-binding translation.
Only the original document in German is binding.
5.2 Personnel training
The device can be operated and maintained solely by trained workers.
6 Transport and storage
6.1 Checking during reception
Immediately after you have received the shipment, please check if it is free from any
visible outer damage. The same applies for the unpacked device.
6.2 Packaging / return transport
Please keep all th
send it back to us.
Always use the original packaging for the return transport.
Before you dispatch the device, disconnect any connected cables as
well as loose/moving parts.
Reinstall any transport locks, if present.
from slipping and damage.
