PEAK:
Three functions available:
- Track mode (continuous measurement)
- Peak mode (capture of maximum values)
- Auto-Peak mode, same as Peak-mode, only without the „Min limit peak save“ function
MEMORY:
Saves the peak values to calculate the average value (please see section “Memory mode”
DELETE Function
Deletes stored peak values (only in „Memory mode“ active)
PRINT:
Sends the stored peak values to a PC or Printer (please see section „Data Output”)
High / Low limit function
LEDs to display OK / NOT OK Tests
▼ Lower than lower limit
● Lights if the STOP value is reached ▲ Higher than highest limit
This function allows efficient testing of OK / NOT OK’S measurements of similar or identical testing objects. A lower and an upper limit value can be defined. The instrument compares the individual measuring results with these limit values and shows the OK or NOT OK result by green or red light diode and by sound. To set these limit values, please see the SET Menu in section „Operating keys“.

Peak-Hold Function (Peak Mode)
Please press:
Auto-Peak-Hold-Function (Auto-Peak Mode)
Please press:
Min. limit peak function to activate storage of measurements
This function allows to eliminate unwanted „Pre-Peak values“ that are lower than the main peak value (Fp). The
“Min limit peak save” value (Fo) takes care, that these
“Pre-Peak values” are not saved. The „Min limit peak save“ function is only possible in Peak-
Mode. To set this Min limit value, please see the SET Menu in section „Operating keys“. Memory mode and average value (from up to 10 peak values)

Activating the „AUTO PEAK Function“ by PEAK key
Deactivating the „Average Function“ by MEMORY key
Now, all peak values are stored automatically in the
instrument
To browse through the stored values, please use the ▲ or ▼ keys. (The values will be shown in the upper display segment)
By pressing the MEMORY key, the average value of the stored peak values can be shown (in the upper display segment)
To delete every stored value, press the▼-key in the AVERAGE-Mode

7. Warning
Intended use
The instrument you have acquired serves to determine the measuring value of the material to be measured. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ instrument, i.e. the material to be measured is manually and carefully attached at the instrument. The measuring value can be
read off after a stable measurement value has been obtained.
Inappropriate use
Do not use the instrument for medical measurements. In the event that small quantities are removed or added to the material to be measured, incorrect measuring results can
be displayed due to the “stability compensation“ in the
instrument. (Example: Slow draining off of liquid from a container suspended from the instrument). Do not attach a continuous load. This can damage the measuring unit as well as the parts, relevant to safety.
Prevent jolts, torsion and oscillation (e.g. by appending slopingly) of all kinds. Be sure to prevent overloading the instrument in excess of the stated maximum load (max.), minus any tare weight that may possibly exist. This could damage the instrument (risk of breakage).
Important:
• Always make sure that there are no people or materials below the load that could be injured or damaged!
• The instrument is not suitable for measuring people. Do not use as baby scales!
• The instrument does not comply with the medical product law (MPG). Never operate the instrument in hazardous locations. The series design is not explosion-proof. Structural alterations may not be made to the instrument. This can lead to incorrect measuring results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of the instrument. The instrument may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines. Varying areas of application/ planned use must be approved by SAUTER in writing.
Guarantee
The guarantee is not valid in following cases:
• 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 instal lation
• Overloading of the measuring equipment

Monitoring the test substances
The metrology features of the instrument and any possible available adjusting weight must be checked at regular intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this purpose, the answerable user must define a suitable interval as well as the nature and scope of this check. Information is available on the home page (www.KERN-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of instrument test substances and the test weights required for this. Test weights and instruments can be adjusted
quickly and at a reasonable price in KERN’s accredited
DKD calibration laboratory (return to national normal).
Fundamental safety information
Do not use the hanging instrument to transport loads. Prevent jolts, torsion and oscillation (e.g. by appending slopingly) of all kinds. Never use the hanging instrument over the maximum permitted weight (!! Danger of breaking!!). Always make sure that there are no living beings or materials below the load that could be injured or damaged. The hanging electronic instruments from the SAUTER instrument are only suitable for hand-held use or use in a test stand. They are not suitable for hanging from a mechanical hook, e.g. a crane hook. Observe the information in the operating instructions Please read the operating instructions carefully before erecting and commissioning, even if you already have experience with SAUTER instruments.
Staff training
The device may only be operated and looked after by trained members of staff.
