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
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.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use 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 permanent load on the weighing plate. This may damage the
measuring system.
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighing
plate, 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

SFB-BA-e-1625

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.
4.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
5 Transportation & 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 glass wind screen, weighing
platform, power unit etc. against shifting and damage.

6 Unpacking and implantation
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.
On the installation site observe the following:
•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, vapors and dust;
•Do not expose the balance to strong humidity for extended periods. 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.
•Being of protection type IP 67 as per DIN EN 60529, the weighing scale is
suitable for short-term use in wet conditions.
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/implantation
Scope of delivery / serial accessories:
•Balance, see chap. 2
•Transit Securing
•Mains adapter
•Rechargeable battery
•Instruction Manual
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover, assemble
the tripod and the display unit (see chap. 6.2.1) and setup balance at the intended
workstation.

Remove the transportation lock:
1. Models platform size 300 x 240 mm
Remove the marked screws.
2. Models platform size 400 x 300 mm
Remove the screw marked by the label .
Attention: The sealed screws must not be unscrewed.
Accurate weighing results require a weighing bridge with perfect horizontal
alignment. During initial installation and after each change of work area it is
necessary to level the weighing bridge.
As the air bubble is located under
the weighing plate, remove it.
Level balance with foot screws until
the air bubble of the water balance
is in the prescribed circle.

6.2.1 Tripod
Assemble example models platform size 300 x 240 mm:
Attach the tripod to the platform acc. to fig. using the 4 screws [1], securing disks
and washers. Ensure that the cable is not damaged nor squeezed. Screw-in support
screw [2] till it is safely fixed.

6.3 Mains connection
Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be
the same as the local voltage. Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other
makes requires consent by KERN.
6.4 Rechargeable battery operation
Before the first use, the battery should be charged by connecting it to the mains
power supply for at least 12 hours.
The symbol appearing on the weight display indicates that the battery is
getting low. Approximately 10 h of instrument usage are left; afterwards it will shut
off automatically. Use the supplied battery charger for charging the battery.
Charge status of rechargeable battery is indicated by the LED display.
red: Voltage has dropped below prescribed minimum.
green: Rechargeable battery is completely charged
yellow: Charging storage battery
To save battery life, you can enable the automatic switch-off function "AUTO OFF",
see chap. 7.14.
6.5 Protection type IP65
Designed for temporary contact with liquids. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Dustproof.
IP65 protection is only ensured during operation on battery
power.
