3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 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 balcance”, i.e. the
material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing
pan.. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance for dynamic weighings. 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“. (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 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-relat ed faul ts and destruction of the bala nce.
The balance may only be used according to the described conditions. 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 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
3.4 Monitoring of Test Resource s
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.
WTB-N_WTB-NM-BA-e-1421 12
Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning,
German is binding.
4 Basic Safety Precautions
4.1 Pay attention to the instr uc t ions in the Operation Manual
even if you are already familiar with KERN balances.
All language versions contain a non-binding translation. The original
4.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
5 Transport 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.

13 WTB-N_WTB-NM-BA-e-1421
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Locat ion 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 scales 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 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 (condensati on o f air humidi ty 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.

it, particularly as it is supported by the weighing plate.
6.3.1 Mains connection during rechargeable battery operation
During the rechargeable battery operation ensure that the mains
connection is covered with a rubber cap.
Only by this the type of protection IP65 is ensured.
19 WTB-N_WTB-NM-BA-e-1421
6.4 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).
For this warm-up period the scale must be connected to the power supply (batteries).
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
Strictly observe hints in chapter Adjustment.
6.5 Type of protection IP65
The KERN WTB meets the requirements for IP65protection type.
Suitable for a short-time contact with liquids. For cleaning use damp cloth. Dust-tight.
7 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.
7.1 Adjustment
Carry out adjustment as close as possible to the maximum load of the scales )see
chap. 1 „Technical data“). The accuracy of the adjustment weight must correspond
approximately to or, if possible, be better than, the readability d of the balance.
Information about test weights you will find in the internet under http://www.kern-
sohn.com
Procedure when adjusting:
Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time (see chapter 1) is
required for stabilization.

7.2 Verification
General introduction:
According to EU directive 2009/23/EC balances must be officially verified if they are
used as follows (legally 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 purposes
d) For manufacturing final packages
In cases of doubt, please contact your local trade in standard.
Verification notes:
An EU type approval exists for balances described in their technical data as
verifiable. If a balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above, it
must be verified and re-verified at regular intervals.
Re-verification of a balance is carried out according to the respective national
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!
Verification of the balance is invalid without the seal.
The seal marks attached on verified balances point out that the balance may
only be opened and serviced by trained and authorised specialist staff. If the
seal mark is destroyed, verification looses its validity. Please obs er v e all
national laws and legal regulations. In Germany a re-verification will be
necessary.
