The information on the supervision of the testing equipment, i.e. scales, and the required reference weights, can be found on the home page of KERN (www.kern-sohn.com). The reference weights and scales can be calibrated fast and for a low cost in the KERN calibration laboratory (against the national reference) ap- proved by DKD (Deutsche Kalibrierdienst).
7 Unpacking, positioning and start-up 7.1 Installation place, operation place The scales are designed to ensure reliable weighing results in standard operating con- ditions. The choice of a correct scale location ensures its accurate and fast operation. This is why you should follow the following rules when selecting the installa- tion place: •...
7.3 Integration, setting and leveling Remove transport protection. Install the scale plates as shown in the drawing. Place the scale on smooth surface. Level the scale using the leveling feet. The air bubble in the leveler must be pre- sent in the marked area.
Check if the scale voltage is set correctly. The scale can be connected to the mains only when the voltage specified on the scale (sticker) and the local voltage are identical. Always use the original power supply by KERN. Using any other products requires KERN consent. Important information: ...
7.5 Rechargeable battery operation The rechargeable battery and the charger are compatible. Al- PLEASE NOTE! ways use the power supply delivered with the scale. Do not use the scale when charging. Always replace the battery with the one of the same type or of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Before you connect or disconnect any extra devices (printer, computer) to/from the data interface, the scale should always be disconnected from the mains. Use solely accessories and peripherals supplied by KERN with the scale, being per- fectly compatible with it.
[d] of the scale, though preferably it should be a bit higher. For information concerning reference weights, see online at: http://www.kern-sohn.com • Ensure stable environmental conditions. The heating time is required for the stabilization (see chapter 1).
8 Operation 8.1 Switching on/off Switching on: Press the ON/OFF button. Once the displays is lit, the scale autotest will be carried out. Wait until the weight is displayed, the scale is ready for use. Switching off: Press the ON/OFF button, the display will go off. 8.2 Zeroing Zeroing corrects the effect of small pollutants on the scale plate.
8.4 Weighing with tare The empty weight of any container used for weighing can be tared, pressing the button which results in displaying the net weight of the weighed material during consecutive weighing processes. Place the scale container on the scale plate. ...
9.1 Determination of a single piece average weight by weighing Zero the scale or, whenever required, tare the empty scale container. Place the known number of individual pieces as a reference load. Use numerical buttons to enter the number of reference pieces and confirm by pressing .
9.2 Introducing the average weight of a single piece as the numerical value Zero the scale or, whenever required, tare the empty scale container. Using numerical buttons, enter the known average weight of a single piece, e.g. 10 g, and confirm by pressing REF. ...
10 Test weighing The function is available starting from weight values above 20 d. Activating the test weighing mode: In the weighing mode, press the TOL button, <CK OFF> will be displayed. Pressing the TOL button enables to switch between <CK OFF> and <CK ON >.

4. Confirm the selection by pressing . The window for value entry in the numerical form will be displayed where you can enter the upper limit value. 5. Using numerical buttons, enter the upper limit value, e.g. 2 kg in the displayed unit (e.g.
Tolerance check start: Ensure the test weighing mode is active. To do it, press TOL and, whenever re- quired, use TOL to select <CK ON>. Place the weighed material (< 20 d) and, based on the tolerance symbols / audible signal, check if the weighed material belongs to the preset tolerance range.
Page 25
Setting conditions of sending and limits: Using the TOL button, select the required signaling condition. For selection op- tions see chapter 10.1 / step 1: Confirm the selection by pressing , <LIMIT – STABL-CHECK> will be dis- played. ...

Tolerance check start: Ensure the test weighing mode is active. To do it, press TOL and, whenever re- quired, use TOL to select <CK ON>. Ensure the average weight of a single piece is set (see chapter 9). ...
11 Summing The function enables to add the number of pieces to the total memory by pressing the button. The function is available starting from weight values above 20 d. Summing the weighed material: Ensure the average weight of a single piece is determined (see chapter 9. ...

Remove any scattered weighed material immediately. 14.2 Maintenance and service The device can be operated and maintained solely by the technicians trained and authorized by KERN. Disconnect from the mains before opening. 14.3 Disposal The packaging and the device should be disposed in accordance with the national or regional law in the location where the device is operated.
16 Help for any minor failures If there are any program execution problems, the scale should be switched off and disconnected from the mains for a while. Next, the weighing process should be started anew. Problem Possible cause • The scale is not on. The weight indicator is not lit.
