The crane scales are a multi-purpose and cost-saving solution for overhead weighing applications such as e.g. recycling, metal processing, machine engineering, transport and logistics. With the radio remote control, operation will be more comfortable yet. Overview KERN HUS Eyelet Display Keyboard Safety bracket Hook, revolvable For radio remote control, s.

Radio remote control The balance can be operated by the radio remote control like by a keyboard. All functions (excepted POWER ON/OFF) can be selected. The LED should light up each time a key is pressed. If it does not light up, the batteries in the remote control must be exchanged.
Label Do not exceed nominal load of crane scales. (Example) The product conforms to the requirements of the German Equipment and Product Safety Act. HUS/HUM-BA-e-1131...
(see chapter 9.3) If the dimensions of your first safety inspection do not match those of KERN, the balance must not be put into operation. In this case please contact a service partner authorised by Messrs. KERN.
10 hours. To conserve energy, enable the automatic switch-off function „AUTO OFF“, KERN HUM see chap.. 5.8 ./ KERN HUS see chap..6.8. When the crane scales are out of operation for a longer period, remove the rechargeable battery.
Suspending the balance Condition The crane needs a safety bracket (1) that the unloaded crane scales cannot fall down. If the safety bracket is missing or damaged, please contact the crane manufacturer in order to receive a hook with this safety equipment. ...
5. Operation KERN HUM Safety instructions Risk of injury due to falling loads! Danger Take great care when operating the crane and follow the general rules for crane operation. Check all parts (hook, eyelet, rings, rope slings, cables, chains etc.) for excessive wear or damage...

Make sure that scales are loaded in vertical direction of pull Always avoid vibrations and horizontal forces. Avoid any kind of shock, torsion and oscillating (e.g. caused by inclined suspending) Do not use the crane scales for transporting loads. HUS/HUM-BA-e-1131...
Loading the crane scales To achieve good weighing results please refer to the next page, fig. 1 and 2: Only use load attachment devices which guarantee a one-spot suspension and where the scales can be suspended freely. Do not use too large load attachment devices which do not guarantee any one- spot suspension.

Press the MODE-key, „YES“ will be displayed, followed by an alternating display such as ”Load 2000 or 1000“. The admissible adjustment weights will be displayed. Attach the admissible adjustment weights (s. table 1). Wait until the scales display „done“, and start to count down.
KERN HUS Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time (see chapter 1) is required for stabilization. Switch-off balance and attach a carrying help if necessary. Press and hold ON/ZERO- and MODE whilst at the same time switching on the scales with the carrying aid attached.
If there arose discrepancies with the safety checklist, the balance must not more be put into operation. Do not repair the crane scales by yourself. Repair may only be carried out by service partners authorized by Messrs. KERN. Cleaning and Disposal Damage on the crane scales! ...
