3 Basic instructions

3.1 Proper use

The display unit acquired by you is used in combination with a load cell and serves to
determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be used as
a "non-automatic weighing system", i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and
carefully placed in the centre of the weighing plate. As soon as a stable weighing
value is reached the weighing value can be read.

3.2 Improper Use

Do not use weighing system for dynamic weighing. In the event that small quantities
are removed or added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results can
be displayed due to the "stability compensation" in the display unit. (Example: Slowly
draining fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the load cell. This may damage the measuring
system.
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the load cell,
minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. The load cell or the
display unit may be damaged during this process.
Never operate display unit in explosive environment. The serial version is not
explosion protected.
Changes to the display unit's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect
weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the display unit.
The display unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default
settings. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
