Loading the suspended balance For good weighing results observe the following, illustrations see next page: 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.

Turn on/off Start-up Press . The display lights up and the balance carries out a selftest. As soon as the weight display appears, the instrument will be ready to weigh. Switching Off Press Set balance to zero In order to obtain optimal weighing results, reset to zero the balance before weighing. ...
Weighing Load the suspended balance. The weight value will be displayed at once. Overload warning Overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the balance, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. This could cause damage to the balance. Exceeding the maximum load is indicated by the display „ol“...
Hold weighing value (Data-HOLD function) Once a stable weight value has been established, this can be fixed until deleted before the next weighing activity. Attach the material to be weighed To start the Hold function, press and the heaviest load of the last weighing activity will be displayed.
5.10 Weighing with tolerance range To ensure that your weight value is within a defined tolerance range, you can define an upper and a lower limit value of your choice using function “F3 chk“ (See chap. 6). During tolerance tests such as portioning or sorting the unit will indicate exceeded or undershot limits by emitting an optical or acoustic signal.

The weight to be used depends on the capacity of the scale. Carry out adjustment as near to maximum load as possible. Info about test weights can be found on the Internet at: http://www.kern-sohn.com • Observe stable environmental conditions. A warming up time (see chapter 1) is required for stabilization.

Wait for stability display, then press Either use the displayed adjustment weight or change by , the currently enabled digit is flashing. (example) Press to select the digit to be amended.
8. Linearization Linearization 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.
Carry out linearization Turn off balance and attach suitable lifting tackle. Turn on balance with the lifting tackle attached and press during self-test. The first function „F0bk“ is displayed. Press repeatedly until „F5CAL“ is displayed. Press , the last parameter set will be displayed.
