3 Basic instructions
3.1 Proper use
The balance / counting system 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 pan.. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached
the weighing value can be read.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance / counting system 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“. (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 /
counting system, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided.
Balance may be damage by this.
Never operate balance / counting system 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 scale / the counting system may only be used according to the described
preconditions. 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

18 CFS/CCS-BA-e-1825
3.4 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.
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.
All language versions contain a non-binding translation.
The original German is binding.
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.
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.

CFS/CCS-BA-e-1825 19
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances / counting systems 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 /
counting system.
On the installation site observe the following:
•Place the balance / counting system 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 / counting system 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.
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, Scope of delivery
Remove device and accessories carefully from packaging, remove packaging
material and place device at the planned work place. Verify that there has been no
damage and that all packing items are present.
