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.
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: •...

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.
Prepare the required adjustment weight. The weight to be used depends on the capacity of the scale. Carry out adjustment as near as possible to the scale’s maximum weight. Info about test weights can be found on the Internet at: http://www.kern-sohn.com. • Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain warm-up time.
6.6.1 Verified models In verified weighing systems the menu item for adjustment „P2 mode“ is blocked. To override the blocked access you will have to destroy the seal before calling up the menu and to short-circuit the two contacts on the circuit board [K2], using a jumper (See chap.6.7).

Linearization Linearity shows the greatest deviation of a weight display on the scale to the value of the respective test weight according to plus and minus over the entire weighing range. If linearity deviation is discovered during a testing instrument control, you can improve this by means of linearization.

7.10 Parts counting Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part weight (i.e. reference). Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The balance determines the total weight and divides it by the number of parts, the so- called reference quantity.
7.11 Animal weighing The animal weighing function is ideal for unstable loads. The weighing system calculates and displays a stable mean average from several weighing values. The animal weighing program may either be enabled by calling up menu block “P3 OTH“ or “P4 OTH“ „ANM“ „ON“ (See chap. 8) or by using the faster option of a key combination.
