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. BIC-BA-e-1610...
6.5 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).

The specified adjustment weight is displayed flashing. (example) Place the adjustment weight centrically on the weighing plate and confirm with . "CAL Y" will flash briefly and a signalling tone will sound. Adjustment will be performed. Then the balance returns automatically into the weighing mode.
7 Operation 7.1 Start-up Start balance by pressing The balance will carry out a self-test As soon as the weight display appears, the balance is ready for weighing. Should the balance not display exactly zero despite empty scale pan, press the button.
Overload warning Overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the device, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. This could damage the instrument. Exceeding maximum load is indicated by the display of „LLLLLL“, and a signal sound.
7.6 Hold function (animal weighing function) The balance has an integrated animal weighing function (mean value calculation). Using this function it is possible to weigh domestic or small animals exactly (min. load 1% of the max. one), although they do not stand quiet on the weighing plate. Place weighing goods and press .
8 Menu 8.1 Navigation in the menu Press at the same time in weighing mode. [UF 1] is displayed. Press as often as necessary until the required function is displayed. Confirm selected function by . The current setting will be displayed. Select the desired parameter with .
