4 Basic Information (General)
4.1 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
material 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.
4.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance for dynamic add-on weighing procedures, if small amounts of
goods to be weighed are removed or added. The “stability compensation“ installed in
the balance may result in displaying an incorrect measuring value! (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. 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.
4.3 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 dammage or dammage by media, liquids, natural wear and tear
•The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected
•The measuring system is overloaded
4.4 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.

ILT-BA-e-0612 11
5 Basic Safety Precautions
5.1 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.
5.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
6 Transport and storage
6.1 Testing upon acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the
appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
6.2 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. weighing plate,
power unit etc., to prevent slipping and damage.
7 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
7.1 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.

ILT-BA-e-0612
12
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.
7.2 Unpacking
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging and setup balance at the intended
workstation.
Remove the transport arrestment (models ILT 60k0.50M, ILT 120K1DM):
•Screw in the 4 foot screws
•Remove the 4 plastic inserts (2)
•Place the weighing pan (3) on the balance

ILT-BA-e-0612 13
7.2.1 Setup
Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in the
prescribed circle.
7.2.2 Scope of delivery
Serial accessories:
•Balance
•Weighing plate
•Mains power supply
•Operating Manual
•Safety hood above control panel
7.3 Mains connection
Power is supplied via the external mains power supply. The stated voltage value
must be the same as the local voltage.
Only use original KERN mains power supplies. Using other makes requires consent
by KERN.
7.4 Connection of peripheral devices
Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data
interface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply.
With your balance, only use accessories and peripheral devices by KERN, as they
are ideally tuned to your balance.
7.5 Initial Commissioning
A warming up time of 15 minutes after switching on stabilizes the measuring values.
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
Strictly observe hints in chapter Adjustment.

8.3.1 P1 Calibration (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.
Procedure when adjusting:
Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time of ca. 1 hour is required
for stabilization.
Note!
During the adjustment process no objects should be on the weighing plate.
In calibrated balances the adjustment function is switch locked. To carry out an
adjustment, the switch must be unlocked, see chpt. 8.3.1.2
