Indicators for weighing with tolerance range
3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Proper use
The display unit acquired by you is used in combination with a weighing plate and
serves to determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be
used as a “non-automatic weighing system”, 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.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use display unit for dynamic weighings. In the event that small quantities are
removed or added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results ca n be
displayed due to the “stability compensation“ in the display unit. (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 weighing
plate, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Both, the weighi ng
plate and the display unit may be damaged during this process.
Never operate display unit in explosive environment. The serial version is not
explosion protected.
Changes to the display unit's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect
weighing results, safety-related faul ts and des tr ucti on o f the dis pl ay unit.
The display unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default
settings. 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 opene d
• 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
KFB/KFN-TM-BA_IA-e-1323 9
3.4 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the display
unit 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 display units’ test substances and the test weights required for this. In
KERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and display units 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
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you
are already familiar with KERN balances.
4.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
5 T ransport 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
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.

• Display Unit
6 Unpacking and placing
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The display units are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in
common conditions of use.
Precise and fast work is achieved by selecting the right place for your display unit
and your weighing plate.
On the installation site observe the following:
• Place the display unit and the weighing plate on a stable, even surface.
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
• Protect the display unit and the weighing plate against direct draf t fr om ope n
windows or doors.
• Avoid jarring during weighing;
• Protect the display unit and the weighing plate against high humidity, vapours
and dust.
• Do not expose the display unit 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
Take the display unit carefully out of its packaging, remove the plastic jacket and
install it at the designated work space.
6.3 Scope of delivery / serial accessories:
• Mains adapter
• Support base incl. wall bracket
• Operating instructions

Transport Securing
6.4 Transportation lock (illustration example)
Please note: if the display unit is used together with platform with transportation lock,
this transportation lock must be released prior to use:
6.5 Error message
As soon as an error message appears in the balance display, the
balance must not more be used, e.g. Err 4
12 KFB/KFN-TM-BA_IA-e-1323
6.6 Placing
Mount the display unit in a way that facilitates operation and where it is easy to see.
Usage with support base (KFB-TM only)
Push support base holder in guide rail [8] up to end stop [9], see chap. 2.
Usage with wall mount (KFB-TM only)
Use the wall mount to affix the display unit to the wall.
Using with tripod (optional)
An optional tripod (KERN BFS-07) is available if the display unit is to be mounted
in a raised position.
KFB/KFN-TM-BA_IA-e-1323 13
6.7 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.
6.8 Storage battery operation (optional)
Before the first use, the battery should be charged by connecting it to the mains
power supply for at least 12 hours.
If the weight display shows , this is an indication that the capacity of the
rechargeable battery is almost exhausted. The unit will be ready for operation for
approx. another 10 hours before switching off automatically. Charge the battery with
the help of the supplied power pack.
The LED display informs you during loading about the loading status of the
rechargeable battery.

6.9 Adjustment
As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth,
each display unit with connected weighing plate 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 weighing system 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 display unit periodically in weighing operation.
•In weighing systems with a resolution of < 15 000 dividing steps an
adjustment is recommended.
In weighing systems with a resolution of > 15 000 dividing steps a
linearisation is recommended (see chap. 6.10).
•Prepare the required adjustment weight. The weight to be used dep ends
on the capacity of the scale. Carry out adjustment as near as possible to
the scale’s maximum weight. Info about test weights can be found on
the Internet at: http://www.kern-sohn.com.
•Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain
warm-up time.
6.9.1 Verified weighing systems

6.10 Linearization
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 weighi ng
range. If linearity deviation is discovered during a testing instrument control, you can
improve this by means of linearization.
6.10.1 Verified weighing systems:
linearisation is recommended.
• 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 “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 “testing instruments control”.

6.11 Verification
General introduction:
According to EU directive 90/384/EEC balances must be officially verified if they are
used as follows (legal ly controlled area):
a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing.
b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the
medical and pharmaceutical laboratory.
c) For official purpose.
d) For manufacturing final packages.
In cases of doubt, please contact your local trade in standard.
Verification notes:
An EU Qualification Approval is in existence for verified weighing systems. If a
balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above, it must be
verified and re-verified at regular intervals.
Reverification is carried out according to the relevant national statutory regulations.
The validity for verification of balances in Germany is e.g. 2 years.
The legal regulation of the country where the balance is used must be observed!

7.10 Parts c ounti ng
Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part weight (i.e.
reference). Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The
balance determines the total weight and divides it by the number of parts, the socalled reference quantity. Counting is then carried out on the basis of the calculated
average piece weight.
As a rule:
The higher the reference quantity the higher the counting exactness.
In weighing mode , press and hold until the message „P
10“ appears that is used to set the reference quantity.
Use to set the desired reference quantity (such as 100),
options include P 10, P 20, P 50, P100, P 200.
Place as many items to be counted (such as 100 items) as
demanded by the set reference quantity and confirm by
The weighing scales calculate the reference weight. The
current quantity (such as 100 items) will be displayed.
Remove reference weight. The balance is from now in parts
counting mode counting all units on the weighing plate.

12.2 Weighing system design
The display unit is suitable for connection to any analogue platform in compliance
with the required specifications.
The following data must be established before selecting a weighing cell:
•Weighing balance capacity
This usually corresponds to the heaviest load to be weighed.
•Preload
This corresponds to the total weight of all parts that are to be placed on the
weighing cell such as upper part of platform, weighing pan etc.
•Total zero setting range
This is composed of the start-up zero setting range (± 2%) and the zero
setting range available to the user via the ZERO-key (2%). The total zer o
setting range equals therefore 4 % of the scale’s capacity.
The addition of weighing scales capacity, preload and the tot al z er o sett ing
range give the required capacity for the weighing cell.
To avoid overloading of the weighing cell, include an additional safety
margin.
• Smallest desired display division
• Verifiability, if required
The application of the display unit as a verified weighing system requires
that you short-circuit the two contacts [K1] of the circuit board, using a
jumper; for position see cha p. 6.11.
Remove the jumper for weighing systems not able to be verified.

1. Name and type of instrument
The indicators KFN-TM / KFB-TM are a family of weighing indicators suitable to be incorporated in
non-automatic weighing instruments, class III or class IIII, with single-interval, multi-interval or
multi-range.
2. Description of the construction and function
2.1 Construction
The electronic indicator consists of a single circuit board, SMD populated on both sides as the A/Dinterface circuits, the microprocessor and the voltage regulation are placed on one side and the LCD
display on the other side.
The LCD-display has indication for: Stable, zero, gross, net, tare, and weight unit (kg, g, t), and 5½
digits with a height of 52 mm.
The enclosure is made of stainless steel for the KFN-TM indicator or of ABS plastics for KFB-TM.
The front of the enclosure has an on/off key plus 6 keys for operating the functions of the indicator.
All instrument calibration and metrological setup data are stored in the non-volatile memory.
The indicators are power supplied with 9 - 12 VDC - normally supplied by external 230 VAC to
9 - 12 VDC adapter. An optional internal battery can be factory installed.
As part of the indicators EMC protection ferrites shall be placed as follows:
• Externally around the DC supply cable near its connection to the indicator (min. 1 turn).
• Internal on cable between power plug and main board (4 turns).
• Internal on cable between load cell connector and main board (min. 2 turns).
Software
The software version is displayed during the start-up of the indicator.
The tested software version is 1.07.
Sealing
The configuration and calibration data can only be changed if the calibration jumper is installed on
the circuit board.
2.2 Function
