3 Basic directions (general information)
3.1 Intended use
The scales are used for determining the body weight of people in the standing posi-
tion.
The person being weighed shall stand in the middle of the weighing surface and re-
main calm.
The value may be read after the scales stabilizes.
The scales are designed for continuous use.
Only those people who can stand on the scales platform with their
both legs may enter it.
The scales platform is equipped in the anti-slippery surface which shall not be taken
off or covered during the time the people are being weighed.

3.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the scales for dynamic weighing.
Do not leave a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage the measur-
ing equipment.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the scale in excess of the prescribed
maximum load rating (max.), minus any possible tare weight that is already present.
This could result in damage of the scale.
Never operate the scale in hazardous locations. The series design is not explosion-
proof. Attention should be paid that flammable mixture may also be formed from
anaesthesiological means that contain oxygen or laughing gas (nitrous oxide).
Construction alterations may not be made to the scale. This can lead to incorrect
weighing results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of the
scale.
The scale may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines. Other are-
as of application/planned use must be approved by KERN in writing.
Do not use the scales for determining body weight in medicine.
3.3 Guarantee
The guarantee shall become void in the event of the following:
•non-observation of our guidelines in the Operating Instructions,
•use outside the described applications,
•alteration to or opening the device,
•mechanical damage or damage caused by media, liquids,
•usual wear and tear,
•inappropriate erection or electric installation,
•overloading of the measuring equipment,
•scale falling down.
