(www.kern-sohn.com with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
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 Personnel training The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable major deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible.In that case, the location must be changed. 7.2 Unpacking Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended workstation. RFC-SH-e-1810...
Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use KERN original mains adapter. Using other makes requires consent by KERN. 8.3 Storage battery operation (optional) The optionally supplied battery is charged with the supplied power supply.
F0 CAL will be displayed. Press adjustment switch on the lower side of the balance. Press , UnLoAd will be displayed. Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing pan. Press again, CAP LOADxx will be displayed. (example) RFC-SH-e-1810...

CAL appears on the display.Now the process of adjustment is successfully completed.Return to weighing mode using In case of an adjustment error or incorrect adjustment weight, the display will show an error message (FAKLH), then repeat adjustment process. RFC-SH-e-1810...
The weighing result of the balance is outside the error limit.Therefore, in regular intervals load balance with known test weight (ca. 1/3 of the max. load) and compare with displayed value. The reverification deadline has been exceeded. RFC-SH-e-1810...
For the adjustment, the balance must be switched over to service mode. In the service mode the parameters of the balance can be modified. If this happened accidentally, please contact KERN. In verified scales the service mode is locked individually for each switch. To disable the access lock, destroy the seal and actuate the switch.
Confirm selected function by pressing . Select desired setting with and acknowledge by Exit menu: Press the button as often as necessary until the zero display appears. The balance is now again in weighing mode. RFC-SH-e-1810...
