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“ balance, i.e. the mate-
rial 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 balance for dynamic weighings. In the event that small quantities are re-
moved or added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results can be dis-
played due to the “stability compensation“ in the balance. (Example: Slowly draining
fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. 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. This could cause dam-
age to the balance.
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 incor-
rect 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.
The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians according to
KERN standards.
Before opening, disconnect appliance from power supply!
Warranty claims will be voided when appliance is opened.
The FEJ weighing system may not be used in explosive areas or areas with
explosive substances.
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 and damage caused by media, liquids
- Natural wear and tear
- The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected
- The measuring system is overloaded

FES/FEJ-BA-e-1132 9
3.4 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the bal-
ance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The responsi-
ble user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. Infor-
mation 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.
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 appli-
ance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
5.2 Packaging
Keep all parts of the original packaging in case you need to return the appliance.
Only use original packaging for returning.
Before sending, disconnect all connected cables and loose/movable parts.
Attach possibly existing transport safeguards. Secure all parts, e.g. glass windshield,
weighing plate, power unit etc., to prevent slipping and damage.

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 install-
ing 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 appli-
ance for ca. 2 hours at room temperature.
•Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container
and windshield.
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable
major deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible. In that case,
the location must be changed.
6.2 Unpacking
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup
balance at the intended workstation.

6.4 Setup
1. Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in
the prescribed circle.
2. Remove weighing plate
3. Release the knobs on the display holder almost completely
4. Suspend the display holder on the cable box from above
5. Turn in knobs completely in order to fix them
6. Draw the cable into the cable box, bend and store it, and let 15 cm remain
outside.

6.6 Battery power supply
The optionally supplied battery is charged with the supplied power supply.
Before the first use, the battery should be charged by connecting it to the mains
power supply for at least 12 hours. The operating time of the battery is about. 6h.
Charging time until complete recharging ca. 12h.
In the menu you can activate the AUTO-OFF function [yA.P.1]. After 3 min without
load change the balance switches automatically off in order to spare the battery.
Whilst in battery mode the balance is IP 65 protected.
When the balance is in battery mode the following symbols appear on the display:
Battery charge sufficient
Battery very low. To charge the battery, connect it to the mains
as soon as possible (re-calibration not possible).
flashes
Voltage has dropped below prescribed minimum (7V). Plug in
the mains adapter, to charge the balance via the electrical net-
work (12h).
6.7 Terminal for external devices
The output for the external devices is situated under the cover plate on the rear of the
display. To detach the cover plate, remove the fastening screws (see fig.
chap. 6.5).
Caution: Doing this, the IP 65 protection provided in battery mode will be lost.

6.8 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). During this warm-
ing up time, the balance must be connected to the power supply (mains, accumulator
or battery).
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
Please be sure to observe the information in the chapter on adjusting in chap. 6.8.
6.8.1 Power display
The balance will carry out a self-test
Supply balance with power via the
mains power supply.

ance on.

6.8.2 Bar graph display
weighing dish unloaded half of weighing range weighing range is used to full capacity
The weighing range of the balance is divided into 40 graphic cuboids. Zero (0) will
appear on the graphic display if there is no weighing value on the balance. 20 graphic
cuboids are displayed if the balance is loaded up to one half of its weighing range.
In configuration menu 1 (chapter 7) you can activate/deactivate the bar graph dis-
play.
