7 Basic Safety Precautions 7.1 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. 7.2 Personnel training The medical staff must apply and follow the operating instructions for proper use and care of the product.
Devices emitting high frequency signals (mobile telephones, radio transmitters, radio receivers) may cause interference in the multi- function balances MWA. Do not use these near multi-function balances MWA. Chapter 8.4 contains details about recommended minimum distances. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
IEC 61000-3-3 Do not stack or operate multi-function balances MWA immediately next to or together with other devices. If this type of operation is necessary, observe the multi-function balances MWA to ensure normal operation in such an arrangement. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
Magnetic fields for the supply frequency frequency should match the (50/60 Hz) 50/60 Hz typical values found in the particular business or hospital acc. to IEC 61000-4-8 environment. NOTE equals AC line voltage prior to application of test level. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...

If you observe unusual features of performance you may have to take additional measures such as a change in alignment or a different location for the multifunctional balances MWA. For a frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz field intensity should be less than 3 V/m. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
Higher frequency range applies to 80 MHz and 800 MHz. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The spread of electromagnetic variables is influenced by absorption and reflections in buildings, objects and humans. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
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 the weighing platform, power unit etc. against shifting and damage. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
Remove the individual components of the balance or the complete balance from the packaging with care and install at the intended location. When using the power pack, ensure that the power cable does not produce a risk of stumbling. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
(See chap.3 device overview). The handrails are also suitable for use in connection with wheelchairs. 10.4.1 Application examples: Weighing balance used as Wheelchair balance stand assist balance with handrail MWS- MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Always use genuine approved KERN power pack units as per EN 60601-1 directive. The small sticker attached to the side of the display unit indicates the power port: The LED remains illuminated as long as the weighing scale remains connected to the mains.
If the LED lights green, the rechargeable battery is fully charged. If it is lighting blue, it is being charged. If the balance is not used for a longer time, take out the rechargeable battery and store it separately. Leaking liquid could damage the balance. MWA-M / MWA-PM-BA-e-1614...
