Packaged Goods Regulation (PGR/FPVO). To weighing scales specially designed for packaged goods applies § 22 of the Packaged Goods Regulation PGR. This paragraph says: (1) Commercially produced, packaged goods labelled by weight or volume of the same nom- inal filling quantity must be produced in such as way that the filling quantity at the point of production 1.

Packaged goods manufactured and tested according to the rules stipulated by the Pack- aged Goods Regulation bear the following marking on their label: Weighing scales to be used in packaged goods control must have type approval according category III combined with a valid verification. The choice of a non-automatic weighing scale should be on the one hand according to the required maximum weight and on the other hand the maximum admissible verification value (e) for the nominal filling quantity to be tested: According to the admissible maximum num-...
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. Our accredited DKD calibration laboratory offers fast and inexpensive adjustment for test weights and weighing balances (reset to na- tional normal weight).
3.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commis- sioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances. 3.2 Personnel training The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
5.3 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. FKTF-BA-e-1512...
Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data interface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply. With your balance, only use acces- sories and peripheral devices by KERN, as they are ideally tuned to your balance. 5.6 Initial Commissioning A warming up time of 2 hours after switching on stabilizes the measuring values.
5.7 Adjustment As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the balance has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory).
6 Operation 6.1 Start the scale and turn on the screen Start scale by touching the touch panel Start-up screen: After contact the Touches and start up the scale the following screen appears. To start the measurement it must necessarily be given the Article and the Operator.
6.2 Creating products with desired specifications You can enter the specific values of each item under MENU / Memory / Item / Item*. On the first page of the article the following data can be entered: Item: memory location number Number: article number or code Machine: enter the machine num- Tara: weighing type (Tara previous,...

Here, the tolerance data as set- point, upper limit, lower limit, lower limit 1 and lower limit 2 can be en- tered. Under "Quantity", the number of the tested measurement objects can be entered. The arrow key can be used to scroll to the previous page or to the next page.
6.3 Operating mode settings: Please press on the start-up screen the "MENU CAL" button. Then select in the menu the "Configu- ration" button. Now, "Setting control mode" appears. This also choose. FKTF-BA-e-1512...

Under Setting control mode, then you can adjust various settings: Automatic: Automatic mode can be enabled and dis- abled. Tolerance: When "automatic" is activat- ed, the tolerances are automatically cal- culated according to the statutory FPVO regulation. The verification switch must then be acti- vated in this case! Histogram: The histogram printout will be activated...
6.4 Select Operator/Article Select Operator: After pressing the operator key se- lect fields will appear for authorized operators. Select the current operator. If no operator is available, they must be re-entered via MENU / Memory / Operator / Description. Now in the second information row the selected user appears (see ar- row).
Now in the first line of information the selected Item and the Item code appears (see arrows). 6.5 Start the measurement To start the measurement, please press STRT / MEAS key The different types of measure- ment (average Tara, Tara previ- ous, Tara afterwards) can be se- lected in each article.

After the first measurement object has been placed it will be con- firmed with TAKE GROS. The bal- ance jumps automatically to the second target. At any time you can stop the measurement with QUIT MEAS. OK = measured value is within the tolerance (between TU and TO) + = passed the upper limit (TO) - = below the lower limit (TU)
Baud rate selectable from 2400, 4800, 9600 Baud (factory setting) and 19200 Baud. Sub-D plug 9-channel required For operation with interface faultless operation is only ensured with the correct KERN – interface cable (max. 2m) Pin allocation of the balance output socket (front view)
8.2 Service, maintenance The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians who are authorized by KERN. Before opening, disconnect from power supply. 8.3 Disposal Disposal of packaging and appliance must be carried out by operator according to valid na- tional or regional law of the location where the appliance is used.
9 Instant help In case of an error in the program process, briefly turn off the balance and disconnect from power supply. The weighing process must then be restarted from the beginning. Help: Fault Possible cause • The balance is not switched on. The displayed weight does not glow.
