Information regarding the monitoring of test resources (scales and test weights) is available at KERN website (www.kern-sohn.com). The test weights and scales can be calibrated quickly and cheaply at KERN calibration labora- tory accredited by DKD (Deutsche Kalibrierdienst) (in reference to the national standard).
6 Unpacking, setup and start-up 6.1 Site of installation, location of use The scales are designed in such a way that reliable weighing results are ensured in normal conditions of use. The scales will operate accurately and fast if you choose the right location. Therefore, observe the following rules when choosing the installation site: ...
When the batteries are discharged, the display will indicate “bAtt” – in this case re- place the batteries. If the scales are not used for a long time, remove the batteries and store them sepa- rately. Any electrolyte flowing out could damage the scales. 6.4 Initial start-up To obtain accurate weighting results using the electronic balances, the devices must reach an appropriate operating temperature (see Chapter 1: “Warm-up time”).
8 Operation 8.1 Weighing Start the scales by pressing ON/OFF. After the self-test, the device shows the zero value – it is now in the weighing mode. Carefully place the baby on the weighing pan and read the weighing value. (Example) 8.2 Taring The specific weight of any preload used for weighing can be tared by pressing the...
8.3 Switching the weight units ̴ If zero is indicated, wait until the “unstable” ( ) symbol disappears. Press ↔ TARE. The weight unit will be switched (kg lb), you may now start the next weighing process. 8.4 Memory function The scales are provided with an integrated memory function that allows to memorise the weight values and display them when necessary.
Displaying the memorised weight value: Press MC, the display will show the memorised weight value along with the symbol displayed for 5 s. Then the current weight value will be displayed. ̴ ↨ MC The memorised weight value will be stored in the memory until a new value is memo- rised or the battery is discharged.
Immediately remove any contaminants. 10.2 Servicing and maintenance The device may only be operated and maintained by service technicians trained and authorised by KERN. 10.3 Disposal The packaging and the device must be disposed of according to the national or re- gional law applicable in the location where the appliance is used.
11 Assistance in case of minor failures In case of any disturbance in the programme, switch off the scales and disconnect them from power supply for a while. Then restart the weighing process. Assistance: Disturbance Possible cause • The scales are off. The weight indication does •...
