6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 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. Therefore, observe the following for the installation site: •...
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 The optionally supplied battery is charged with the supplied power supply.
6.5.1 Start-up Turn on scales with ON/OFF switch (left). The balance will carry out a self-test As soon as the weight display shows "0" in all the three display windows your balance is ready to weigh. On CXP models (with RS 232) an internal number appears before the balance counts down to zero.
6.6 Linearisation (verified models only) 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 monitoring of test resources, you can improve this by means of linearization.

8 Parts counting With parts counting you can either count parts into a container or remove parts from a container. To count a greater number of parts the average weight per part has to be determined with a small quantity (reference quantity). The larger the reference quantity, the higher the counting exactness.
8.2 Numeric entering of the reference weight If you know the reference weight/piece you can enter this via number keys. Enter reference weight via number keys 0� 1. 8 33 PRE- TARE Confirm with button 0� 1. 8 33 PRE- ...
8.4 Save/call up reference weight – Pre-Set function There are 10 memory locations at your disposal (occupied via number keys 0 -9). 8.4.1 Save Enter the reference weight to be stored 100� 0. 0 �� PRE- TARE Press button Press button...
8.4.2 Call-up When the reference weight is required at a later point in time it can be called by pressing the button and entering the relevant storage location number. Press button Press button Enter storage location (0 – 9) via the numeric keyboard Press button ...
8.5 Count with tolerance control - Fill to target This function can be used to program a target number of pieces or target weight. Reaching the target value is indicated by an audio-visual signal. 8.5.1 Set tolerance value for target number of pieces Reaching the target value will be indicated by an audio signal and [-QtY-] will be flashing in the reference window.
8.5.2 Set tolerance value for target weight Reaching the target value will be indicated by an audio signal and [-YPSt-] will be flashing in the reference window. Press button Press button Use number keys to enter target value Entered target value. Corrections possible by pressing button...
9 Taring The dead weight of any weighing container may be tared away by pressing a button, so that the following weighing procedures show the net weight of the goods to be weighed. 9.1 Determination of the tare weight by weighing Place empty tare container on the weighing plate.
9.2 Numerical input of tare (PRE-TARE) Pre-setting PRE-TARE mode Make sure that no load is on the weighing plate Press the -button, in the reference weight display appears flashing [PrEtA] During this display enter the Pre-Tare value using the numeric keyboard ...

10 Totalization The balance is equipped with a summation memory used for adding up of identical counted parts to total quantity and total weight. 10.1 Add up “Number of parts" Select reference weight and place number of parts for first weighing. 118.
10.2 Add up “Weight" Place weight on weighing plate. 0� 0�� 118. 3 �� PRE- TARE The display value is added to the summation memory by pressing the button. -----�� ADD� -----�� PRE- TARE The [ ] display next to "M+" indicates the stored value. After dead stop control was carried out the balance will return automatically to counting mode.
Note: Turning off the balance will result in a loss of all stored values. 10.3 Delete stored values Unload balance and press the button. Stored values, total weight, total number of pieces and number of weighings will be set to zero. The [ ] display next to "M+" disappears.
