3 Fundamental information (general)

3.1 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.

3.2 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.

3.3 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

3.4 Monitoring the test substances

The metrology features of the balance 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 KERN’s home page (www.kern-
sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test
weights required for this. Test weights and balances can be adjusted quickly and at a reasonable price in KERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory (return to na­tional normal).

4 Fundamental safety information

4.1 Observe the information in the operating instructions

Please read the operating instructions carefully before erecting and commissioning, even if you already have experience with KERN balances.

4.2 Staff training

The device may only be operated and looked after by trained members of staff.

5 Transport and storage

5.1 Acceptance check

Please check the packaging immediately upon delivery and the device during un­packing for any visible signs of external damage.

5.2 Packaging

Please retain all parts of the original packaging in case it should be necessary to re­turn items at any time. Only the original packaging should be used for return consignments.

6 Unpacking, installation and commissioning

6.1 Place of installation, place of use

The balance is constructed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be achieved under normal application conditions. By selecting the correct location for your balance, you will be able to work quickly and precisely.
Therefore please observe the following at the place of installation:
Place the balance on a firm, level surface;
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. In-
admissible bedewing (condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur if a cold device is taken into a significantly warmer environment. In this case, please acclimatise the device for approx. 2 hours at room temperature after it has been disconnected from the mains.
Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container and windshield.
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results, or a failure function of the calcu­lator) are possible if electromagnetic fields occur as well as due to static charging and instable power supply. It is then necessary to change the location.

6.2 Unpacking

Carefully remove the balance from its packaging, remove the plastic wrapping and position the balance in its intended working location.

6.2.1 Installation

Install the balance in such a fashion that the weighing plate is absolutely horizonta.

6.2.2 List of items supplied

Standard accessories:

Batteries
Operating instructions

6.3 Battery operation and change

Battery conservation through automatic power-off 3 –4 minutes after ending a weighing operation.
When the battery power is used the display will show “LO”. Press the key and change the batteries at once.
Battery change
1. Open the battery compartment cover located at the bottom of the balance (Unblocking battery compartment cover ( picture 1+2).
2. Insert 2 AAA type batteries (picture 3) .
3. Re-insert and lock the battery cover.( picture 4).
When the balance is not in use for a longer period of time remove batteries and keep them separately. Leakage of battery liquid might damage the balance.

6.4 Initial start-up

A warm-up time of 1 minutes stabilises the measured values after switching on. The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of the fall. Please be sure to observe the information in the chapter on adjusting.

6.5 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 during the initial start-up, after change in lo­cation and variation of surrounding temperature. It is also recommendable to adjust the balance periodically during weighing operation in order to obtain exact measured values.

6.6 Adjusting

Using a precision weight, the accuracy of the balance can be checked at any time and adjusted.
Adjustment procedure:
Check that the surrounding conditions are stable. A short warm-up time of about 1 minutes are recommended for stabilisation.
Press key approx. 3 seconds, ”CAL ” and then the exact weight of the adjusting weight will appear the display.
Place the adjusting weight on the centre of the weighing plate. “ F” will appear somewhat later, and then turn off. In case of an adjusting error or a wrong adjusting weight “ E” appears in the display.

7 Operation

7.1 Overview of display (Units on display)

7.1.1 Weighing

Switch the balance on by pressing the key. The balance will show “8888” for approx. 3 seconds and then change to “0”. Now it is ready for use.
Important: If the display does not show 0, press the key. Only now (!) place object on the weighing pan. Make sure that the weighing object
does not stripe or touch the housing or base. If the object should be heavier than the weighing range allowance, the symbol “E” (overload) will appear on the display .

7.1.2 Taring

Switch the balance on by pressing the key, then wait for the “0” indication. Place the tare cup on the weighing plate and press the key. Indication will go to
“0”. Now the weight of the cup is memorised internally. Fill the object into the cup, read the measuring value.
By pressing the key after a weighing procedure, “0” will appear on the display again. The taring procedure can be repeated continuously, for instance when mixing several components. The limit is reached when the full weighing range is overlay. After having removed the tare cup , the total weight will appear as a negative value.

7.1.3 Plus/Minus Weighings

For instance to control piece-weights. Switch the balance on by pressing the key, then wait until “0” is indicated.
Place rated weight on the weighing plate and tare on “0” by key. Remove rated weight. Place the objects on the weighing pan successively, the balance will show any devia­tion from the rated weight in “+” and “-“. According to the same procedure packages with the same weight, related to a rated
weight, can be produced. Return to the weighing mode by pressing the key.

7.1.4 Net-total weighings

Useful when a mixture of several components will be weighed in a tare cup, and fi­nally the sum weight of all components weighed in will be needed for direction (net­total, i.e. without the weight of the tare cup).
Example:
Tare cup on weighing plate, tare on “0“ by pressing the key.
Weigh component n and tare back to “0” with the key. The activation of the memory is shown by a triangle on the far left of the display.
Weigh component o, by pressing the key the net total is displayed, this means the sum of component n and o. Tare to “0” by pressing the key. Weigh component p, by pressing the key the net-total is displayed, this means
the sum of the components n and o and p. If necessary fill the formula container up to the desirable level. To return to the weigh-
ing mode press the key
