FK-BA-e-1213 3
9. Warning
9.1 Intended use
The instrument you have acquired serves to determine the
measuring value of the material to be measured. It is
intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ instrument, i.e.
the material to be measured is manually and carefully
attached at the instrument. The measuring value can be
read off after a stable measuring value has been obtained.
9.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the instrument for medical measurements. In
the event that small quantities are removed or added to the
material to be measured, incorrect measuring results can
be displayed due to the “stability compensation“ in the
instrument. (Example: Slow draining off of liquid from a
container suspended at the instrument). Do not attach a
continuous load. This can damage the measuring unit as
well as the parts, relevant to safety.
Important:
* Always make sure that there are no people or materials
below the load that could be injured or damaged!
* The instrument is not suitable for measuring people. Do
not use as a baby scale!
* The instrument does not comply with the medical product
law (MPG).
Never operate the instrument in hazardous locations. The
series design is not explosion-proof. Structural alterations
may not be made to the instrument. This can lead to
incorrect measuring results, faults concerning safety
regulations as well as to destruction of the instrument. The
instrument may only be used in compliance with the
described guidelines. Varying areas of application/
planned use must be approved by SAUTER in writing.
9.3 Guarantee
The guarantee is not valid under following circumstances:
• non- observance of our guidelines in the instruction
manual
• use beyond the described applications
• alterations or opening of the device
• mechanical damage and damage caused by media,
liquids
• natural wear and tear
• inappropriate assembling or electric installation
• overloading of the measuring equipment
9.4 Monitoring the test substances
The metrology features of the instrument and any possible
available adjusting weight must be checked at regular
intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this
purpose, the answerable user must define a suitable
interval as well as the nature and scope of this check.
Information is available on the home page
(www.KERN-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of
instrument test substances and the test weights required
for this. Test weights and instruments can be adjusted
quickly and reasonably priced in KERN’s accredited DKD
calibration laboratory (return to national normal).
9.5 Fundamental safety information
Do not use the hanging instrument to transport loads.
Prevent jolts, torsion and oscillation (e.g. by suspending
aslopely) of all kinds.
Be sure to prevent overloading the instrument (over the
maximum permitted weight) in excess of the stated
maximum load (max.), minus any tare weight that may
possibly exist. This could damage the instrument (risk of
breakage!!!).
Always make sure that there are no living beings or
materials below the load that could be injured or damaged.
The hanging electronic instruments from the SAUTER
series are only suitable for hand-held use or use together
with a test stand.
They are not suitable being hung on a mechanical hook,
e.g. a crane hook.
9.5.1 Observe the information in the operating instructions
please read the instruction manual carefully before
assembling and the initial operation, even if you already
have gained experience with SAUTER instruments.
9.5.2 Staff training
The device may only be operated and maintained by
trained members of staff.
