3 Fundamental information (general)
It is essential to read through and observe the complete operating instructions before installing and commis-
sioning.
3.1 Intended use
The balance you have acquired serves to determine the weighing value of the 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. The weighing value can be read off after a stable weighing value
has been obtained.
3.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the balance 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“ in the
balance. (Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage the measuring equipment.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the balance in excess of the prescribed maximum load rating
(max.), minus any possible tare weight that is already present. This could cause damage to the balance.
Never operate the balance in hazardous locations. The series design is not explosion-proof.
Structural alterations may not be made to the balance. This can lead to incorrect weighing results, faults
concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of the balance.
The balance may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines. Varying areas of applica-
tion/planned use must be approved by KERN in writing.
3.3 Guarantee
The guarantee is not valid following
- non-observation of our guidelines in the operating instructions
- use outside the described applications
- alteration to or opening of the device
- mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids
- natural wear and tear
- inappropriate erection or electric installation
- overloading of the measuring equipment
3.4 Monitoring the test substances
The metrology features of the balance and any possible available adjusting weight must be checked at regu-
lar intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this purpose, the answerable user must define a suit-
able interval as well as the nature and scope of this check. 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. Test weights and balances can be adjusted quickly and at a reasonable price in KERN’s accredited
DKD calibration laboratory (return to national normal).

572/573/KB/DS/FKB-BA-defsi-0651

4 Fundamental safety information
4.1 Observe the information in the operating instructions
Please read the operating instructions carefully before erecting and commissioning, even if you already have
experience with KERN balances.
4.2 Staff training
The device may only be operated and looked after by trained members of staff.
5 Transport and storage
5.1 Acceptance check
Please check the packaging immediately upon delivery and the device during unpacking for any visible signs
of external damage.
In the case of visible damages please obtain a signature from the bearer to serve as confirmation of dam-
age. Do not make alterations to the goods and packaging, do not remove any consignment parts. Report
the damage to the parcel service immediately in writing ( within 24 hours).
5.2 Packaging
Please retain all parts of the original packaging in case it should be necessary to return items at any time.
Only the original packaging should be used for return consignments.
Before despatch, disconnect all attached cables and loose/movable parts, remove weighing plate.
Apply any intended transport security devices. Secure all parts, e.g. glass windshield, weighing plate, power
unit etc., to prevent slipping and damage.
6 Unpacking, installation and commissioning
6.1 Place of installation, place of use
The balance is constructed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be achieved under normal appli-
cation conditions.
By selecting the correct location for your balance, you will be able to work quickly and precisely.
Therefore please observe the following at the place of installation:
- 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. Inadmissible bedewing
(condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur if a cold device is taken into a significantly
warmer environment. In this case, please acclimatise the device for approx. 2 hours at room tem-
perature after it has been disconnected from the mains.
- Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container and windshield.
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) are possible if electromagnetic fields occur as well as
due to static charging and instable power supply. It is then necessary to change the location.

572/573/KB/DS/FKB-BA-defsi-0651 33
6.2 Unpacking
Carefully remove the balance from its packaging, remove the plastic wrapping and position the balance in its
intended working location.
6.2.1 Installation
Install the balance in such a fashion that the weighing plate is absolutely horizonta
6.3 Mains supply
Electric power supply is by means of the external mains supply circuit. The printed voltage level must comply
with the local voltage.
Only use original KERN mains supply circuits. The use of other makes is subject to approval by Kern.
6.4 Connecting peripheral equipment
The balance must be disconnected from the mains before connecting or disconnecting additional equipment
(printer, PC) to or from the data interface.
Only use KERN accessories and peripheral equipment with your balance. These have been ideally coordina-
ted to your balance.
6.5 Initial start-up
A warm-up time of 15 minutes stabilises the measured values after switching on.
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of the fall.
Please be sure to observe the information in the chapter on adjusting.
6.6 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 during the initial start-up, after change in location and
variation of surrounding temperature. It is also recommendable to adjust the balance periodically during
weighing operation in order to obtain exact measured values.
6.7 Adjusting
Using a precision weight, the accuracy of the balance can be checked at any time and adjusted.
Warning:
With verified balances, this precision adjustment is not possible
Adjustment procedure:
Check that the surrounding conditions are stable.
A short warm-up time of about 15 minutes is recommended for stabilisation.

6.7.1 Adjusting for verification (KERN 573)
General Information:
Prior to the procedure of verification the balance has to be adjusted.
Remark: The adjusting is only possible when not being blocked by the adjusting switch.
The switch for this step is located at the bottom of the housing between the two turning feet.
Switch to the right Adjusting function is released.
This setting has to be selected before starting the adjusting.
Executing the adjusting according to chapter 7.2 “Operation“.
After the adjusting has been completed successfully it is nec-
essary to turn the adjusting switch to the left for blocking.
Switch to the left Adjusting function is blocked.
After the adjusting has been completed successfully the ad-
justing has to be blocked by switching to the left.
The balance is now prepared for the procedure of verification.
After the verification the adjusting switch has to be secured by
a verification mark against access.
6.8 Verification
General:
According to the EU guideline 90/384/EEC balances must be verified officially if they are to be used as fol-
lows (legally regulated area):
a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing
b) For the production of medines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the medical and pharmaceu-
tical laboratory
c) For official purposes
d) For the production of finished packages
In case of doubt, please contact your local office of weights and measures.
Verification information
An EU qualification approval is available for those balances marked as appropriate for verification in the
technical data. In the event that the balance is applied in an area subject to verification as described above,
it must be officially verified and re-verified at regular intervals.
Re-verification of a balance is carried out in compliance with the respective legal provisions of the states.
The term of verification validity for balances in Germany, for example, is normally 2 years.
The legal provisions of the country of use are to be observed.

General information
As a condition for the data transfer between the balance and a peripheral device (for instance printer, PC ...)
both devise have to be set on the same interface parameter (for instance baud rate, parity ...).
7.4.1 There are 4 methods for the data output via RS 232 C
Data output via PRINT-Key
The printing process can be released by the PRINT-key. In this case the settings AUTOPRINT and AUT-
PRINT PC should be deselected.
AUTOPRINT (Data output, after having loaded the balance)
The setting AUTOPRINT is in the PRINTER-routine, and there it can be selected or deselected. When
AUTOPRINT is active the actual weighing value will be sent via the RS 232 interface when the balance has
been unloaded and then loaded after having achieved the stability.
AUTOPRINT PC (Continuous data output)
The setting AUTPRINT PC is in the PRINTER-routine, and there it can be selected or deselected. When
AUTOPRINT PC is active the actual weighing values will be sent continuously via the RS 232 interface.
Data output by transfer of remote controls
The following functions can be released by the remote controls that will be transferred as ASCII signs to the
balance.
t Tare.
w a weighing value (or unstable) is sent via RS 232 interface.
s a stable weighing value is sent via RS 232 interface.
If the balance receives the command w or s, it acts without printing delay.

7.5 Printer
With the serial data output RS 232 a printer can be connected.
The printout shows the weight in grams. When the counting mode is selected the number of pieces or the
weight is printed. When the percent mode is selected, the percentage or the weight will be printed. Press
The PRINT-key to print weighing results. Select the enumerator to number the weighing continuously. Turn
off the balance or use the CLEAR function to Reset the enumerator to (000).
7.6 Underfloor weighing
Objects which, because of their size or shape, cannot be put on the scale, can be weighed by means of un-
derfloor weighing.
Proceed as follows:
•Switch off the balance.
•Turn the balance over, without loading the balance plate.
•Open the cover plate on the base of the balance.
•Hang on the hook for underfloor weighing .
•Place the balance over an opening.
•Hang the item to be weighed on the hook and carry out weighing.
! CAUTION !
Take care that the hooks used for the underfloor weighing are stable enough to hold the goods
which you wish to weigh (risk of breakage).
Always make sure that there are no living beings or materials below the load that could be injured or
damaged.
! NOTE !

9 Troubleshooting
The balance should be switched off for a short time following an interruption in the programme sequence
and disconnected from the mains supply. It is then necessary to repeat the weighing process from the be-
ginning.
Help:
Interruption Possible cause
Weight display is not illuminated. •The balance is not switched on.
•The mains supply connection has been interrupted
(mains cable not plugged in/faulty).
•Power supply interrupted. .
The weight display changes continually •Draught/air movement
•Table/floor vibrations
•The weighing plate is in contact with foreign mat-
ter.
•Electromagnetic fields / static charging (choose
different location/switch off interfering device if
possible)
The weighing result is obviously incorrect •The balance display is not set to zero
•Adjustment is no longer correct.
•Great fluctuations in temperature.
•Electromagnetic fields / static charging (choose
different location/switch off interfering device if
possible)
Switch the balance off if other error messages should appear and then switch on again. Contact the manu-
facturer if the error message does not disappear.
