4 Basic Information (General) 4.1 Intended use These balances serve as a means of determining the weight of babies in medical treatment rooms (hospitals or Doctor practices). The frequently used function of the baby scale is recognising, preventing and controlling illnesses. The WIFI interface allows the measured results to be transmitted wirelessly to a PC.
4.2 Improper Use / Contraindications Do not use these scales for dynamic weighing processes. Do not leave permanent load on the weighing pan. This may damage the measuring system. Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighing plate, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided.
4.4 Monitoring of Test Resources In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related weighing properties of the balance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this.
5 Basic Safety Precautions 5.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances. 5.2 Preparing for use • Check the balance for damage before any use •...
6 Transport and storage 6.1 Testing upon acceptance When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage. 6.2 Packaging / return transport Keep all parts of the original packaging for a possibly required return.
7 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 7.1 Installation Site, Location of Use The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
7.4 Installation Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended workstation. Levelling Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in the prescribed circle. 7.5 Battery operation The balance offers also the possibility to be operated with 6x AA-batteries.

7.6 Mains connection (option) Power is supplied by the external power unit which also serves to isolate the mains supply from the scale. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only approved genuine KERN power supply units may be used in compliance with Directive EN 60601-1.
8.2 Taring The tare weight of any preloads can be deducted by pressing a button so that the actual weight of the baby is displayed in subsequent weighings. Put object (such as towel or padding) on the weighing pan. Wait for stability display (example) Press , the zero display appears.
8.3 Hold function (Standstill function) The balance has an integrated standstill function (mean value calculation). This allows one to weigh the baby exactly, even if it is not restful in the weighing pan. Start balance by pressing Await zero display Place the baby, press , “---------“...
8.4 Auto off (Automatic switch-off function) The balance offers the possibility of an automatic switch-off. It can be adjusted: Selectable between 30, 60, 180 sec. and off. Switch-on the balance, in weighing mode press approx. 3 sec.; AF will be displayed. Press , the switch-off time set as last will be displayed, e.g.
8.5 Using the optional equipment height measuring rod MBA-A01 The scale has the ability to determine not only the weight but also the body height using the optional height measuring rod. Fixed stop Movable stop min. 30 cm max. 80 cm For this purpose proceed as follows: ...
8.6 Using the optional equipment WIFI interface YMI-A01 (TMBA-A02-A) If the WIFI is not setup yet, the device will create a WIFI access point once powered up.

9 Menu Access to service menu “tCH” is locked in verified balances. To disable the access lock, destroy the seal mark and actuate the adjustment switch. For position of adjustment switch, see chap. 13. Attention: After destruction of the seal the weighing system must be re- verified by an authorised agency and a new verification wire/seal mark fitted before it can be reused for applications subject to verification.

11 Servicing, maintenance, disposal 11.1 Cleaning Before any maintenance, cleaning and repair work disconnect the appliance from the operating voltage. 11.2 Cleaning / disinfecting Clean weighing platform (such as seat) as well as casing with household detergents or commercially available disinfectants, e.g. 70% isopropanol. We recommend a disinfectant suitable for wiping disinfection.
12 Instant help In case of a fault in the program sequence, the balance should be shortly switched off. The weighing process must then be restarted from the beginning. Failure: Possible causes: The balance is not switched on. The displayed weight does not glow.
13 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).
