2 Fundamental information (general)
2.1 Intended use
The balance you have acquired serves to determine the weighing value of the material to be weighed. 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. The weighing value can be read off after a stable weighing value has been obtained.
2.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the balance for dynamic weighing. 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 a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage the measuring equipment.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the balance in excess of the prescribed maximum load rating (max.), minus any possible tare weight that is already
present. This could cause damage to the balance.
Never operate the balance in hazardous locations. The series design is not explosion-proof.
Structural alterations may not be made to the balance. This can lead to incorrect
weighing results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of the
balance.
The balance may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines. Varying
areas of application/planned use must be approved by KERN in writing.
2.3 Guarantee
The guarantee is not valid following
- non-observation of our guidelines in the operating instructions
- use outside the described applications
- alteration to or opening of the device
- mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids
- natural wear and tear
- inappropriate erection or electric installation
- overloading of the measuring equipment
