4 Basic Information (General)
4.1 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“ balance, 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.
4.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance for dynamic add-on weighing procedures, if small amounts of
goods to be weighed are removed or added. The “stability compensation“ installed in
the balance may result in displaying an incorrect measuring value! (Example: Slowly
draining fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. 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.
4.3 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
EOB_F-BA-e-1310
9
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.
4.4 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.
5 Basic Safety Precautions
5.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you
are already familiar with KERN balances.
5.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
6 Transportation & Storage
6.1 Testing upon acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the
appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
6.2 Packaging / return transport
EOS_F-BA-e-1310

7 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
7.1 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;
Ensure that the surroundings between display unit and weighing platform are
free of buildings, otherwise the radio connection may be disturbed
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.
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable
major deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible. In that case,
the location must be changed.
7.2 Unpacking and erection
Open package, take out the appliance and accessories. Verify that there has been
no damage and that all packing items are present.
The balance must be installed in a way that the weighing plate is exactly in horizontal
position.
Mount the display unit in a way that facilitates operation and where it is easy to see.

7.4 Battery operation
On the rear side of the display unit – the platform (see Fig) remove the battery cover
and connect 6 x 1.5V mignon cells. Reinsert the battery cover.
In order to save the battery, the balance switches automatically off after 3 minutes
without weighing. Further shutdown times can be set in the Menu (Function
"A.OFF"), see chap. 10.
If the batteries are exhausted, the battery symbol will appear (see chap.3). Switch-off
balance and replace batteries at once.
If the balance is not used for a longer time, take out the batteries and store them
separately. Leaking battery liquid could damage the balance.

7.5 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.
8 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.
Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time (see chapter 1) is
required for stabilization.
EOB_F-BA-e-1310

In weighing mode press the UNIT key and keep it pressed until „CAL“ followed
by the weight value of the required adjustment weight in displayed. „LOAd“ is
displayed alternatively.
(Example)
Carefully place the required adjustment weight (see tab. 1 „Technical data“) in
the centre of the weighing plate
Press TARE key, adjustment is started.
(Example)
Wait until the stability display appears, after that the adjustment is finished. The
balance will automatically return to Weighing mode upon successful completion
of the adjustment and will display the weight of the adjustment weight.
(Example)
Take away adjustment weight.
An error message will be displayed in the event of an adjustment error or
incorrect adjustment weight. Remove the adjustment weight and repeat the
adjustment process.
Keep the adjustment close to the balance. Daily control of the weighing
exactness is recommended for quality-relevant applications.
