CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220 9
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-related faults and destruction of the balance.
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

10 CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220
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-1220 11
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location 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 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.
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/installation
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup
balance at the intended workstation.
Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in the
prescribed circle.
When using as counting system balance and weighing bridge must be levelled.

12 CFS/CCS-BA-e-1220
6.3 Transport Securing
Ensure that transport guard has been removed
(only existing in 6 kg models)
To loosen the transport guard screw out transport screw [1] anticlockwise.
For transportation carefully screw-in transport screw clockwise till to the stopper
and then fix it using locknut.

When connecting a weighing bridge (not preconfigured by KERN) the
following must be observed:
Connect weighing bridge with a suitable cable via the second-balance
