In KERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and display units may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
7 Unpacking and placing 7.1 Installation Site, Location of Use The display units are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. Precise and fast work is achieved by selecting the right place for your display unit and your weighing plate.
7.4 Transport Securing Please note: if the display unit is used together with platform with transportation lock, this transportation lock must be released prior to use. Remove the transportation safety device at the four marked positions: Transport Securing 7.5 Placing Mount the display unit in a way that facilitates operation and where it is easy to see.
7.7 Adjustment As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each display unit with connected weighing plate 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 weighing system has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory).

For adjustment press to select setting < noLin> and confirm by Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing pan. Wait for stability display, then press The currently set adjustment weight will be displayed. Either apply the displayed adjustment weight or make changes with the help of the navigation keys (see chap.
7.7.2 Not verifiable weighing systems For invoking menu item <P6ZCL> see chap. 11.1. Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing pan before pressing Wait for stability display, then press The currently set adjustment weight will be displayed. ...
7.8 Linearisation 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.
Page 20
For linearization press to select setting < LinEr>, to confirm, press Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing pan. Wait for stability display, then press When “Ld 1“ is displayed, put the first adjustment weight (1/3 max) carefully in the centre of the weighing platform.
7.9 Verification General introduction: According to EU directive 2009/23/EC balances must be officially verified if they are used as follows (legally controlled area): a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing. b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the medical and pharmaceutical laboratory.

Enter known tare weight (e.g. 2 kg) by operating the navigation keys and confirm by pressing the zero key. Numerical input, see chap. 3.1. The entered weight will be stored as tare weight and displayed with negative sign. The indicator over PRE-TARE will appear. ...
9 General functions 9.1 Automatic shutdown function The unit is automatically switched off within the preset time when the display unit or the weighing bridge are not operated. Keep pressed in weighing mode for approx. 3 seconds until “setbl“ is displayed.
9.2 Display background illumination Keep pressed in weighing mode for approx. 3 seconds until “setbl“ is displayed. Press again, the current setting will be displayed. Press to select the desired setting. Continuous background lighting bl on Background illumination off bl off Automatic background illumination on when weighing pate is loaded or key pressed.
10 Operation Modes 10.1 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.
Page 30
Automatic reference optimization • Menu setting: „P4 OTH“ „AVErG“ „on““, see chap. 11 In order to improve the counting exactness, the reference can be optimised by adding more pieces. At every reference optimisation, the reference weight is calculated anew. As the additional pieces increase the base for the calculation, the reference also becomes more exact.
10.2 Manual totalizing With this function the individual weighing values are added into the summation memory by pressing and edited, when an optional printer is connected. • Menu setting: „P2 COM“ „MODE“ „PR2““, see chap. 11 • The totalizing function is not active when the weight is under 20d. Add up: ...
Page 32
Place goods to be weighed, e.g. 3 kg. Wait for stability, then press added. The weight value is added to the summation memory and edited on a connected optional printer. Number of weighings, followed by the total weight will be displayed for 2 sec. Then the current weight value appears, the indicator ...

10.4.1 Animal weighing function With this function jerky balancing goods can be weighed, e.g. living animals. The scale calculates an average value by the number of adjusted weighings and displays this until the scale is cleared (display < 10d). Settings: ...
Page 37
Animal weighing: When the animal weighing function is activated horizontal segments appear at the zero display. Place goods to be weighed on the balance. The scale calculates the average value by the number of adjusted weight readings. The indicator appears above HOLD.
10.5 Weighing with tolerance range You can set an upper or lower limit when weighing with tolerance range and thus ensure that the weighed load remains exactly within the set limits. During tolerance tests such as dosing, portioning and sorting the unit will indicate exceeded or undershot limits by emitting an optical or acoustic signal.
10.5.1 Tolerance check for target weight Settings: In weighing mode, press the BG- and the PRINT-key simultaneously. The screen <SET h> used to enter the upper limit will be displayed. Press the ZERO key, the current setting appears. ...
