Netherlands Belangrijke aanmerking voor geijkte weegschalen in EG-landen In de fabriek geijkte weegschalen dragen dit kenteken op het emballage-etiket en een groene M-sticker op het ijklabel. Deze kunnen meteen in gebruik genomen worden. Bij weegschalen die in twee stappen geijkt moeten worden en geen groene “M” op het ijklabel hebben, staat dit kenteken op het emballage-etiket.

(see chapter 10.2) If the dimensions of your first safety check do not match those of the manufacturer, then the scale must not be used. In this situation, contact a service partner authorised by KERN. HTS-BA-e-1024...
Recharge the battery A sealed, rechargeable lead-acid battery powers the crane scale. Damage to the crane scale! Only use the battery charger provided with the crane scale. Check that battery charger, cables and mains plug are in CAUTION good order and condition. Do not use the crane scale while charging.
Page 27
Loading (large construction) 1. Undo the 2 screws of the battery cover on top of the crane scale and pull out the battery pack (1). 2. Unplug the battery pack from the connector in the housing. 3. Connect the battery charger on the one end to the battery pack connector and on the other end to the power outlet (mains).
Suspend scale Pre-condition Your crane must have a safety latch (1) to prevent the crane scale from falling when there is no load. If there is no safety latch or the safety latch is damaged, please contact the crane manufacturer to obtain a hook with this safety feature. Hang the crane scale from the bottom hook of a crane and lock the secure latch.
Operation Safety instructions Danger Risk of injury due to falling loads! Always operate with great care according to the general rules for operating a crane, see chapter 1. Persons are forbidden to walk or stand in dangerous area. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the crane, crane scale or load bearing item...

Loading the scale 1. Position the crane scale hook over the load. 2. Lower the crane scale until the load can be attached to the scale hook. Reduce speed when reaching the appropriate level. 3. Attach the load to the hook. Make sure that the scale hook latch is closed. If slings are used to handle the load, make sure that the slings are fully seated in the saddle of the scale hook.

Turn on/off Switching on Press and hold the On/Off key on the keyboard of the scale. The display illuminates and the scale runs a self test. The self test is complete when weight value 0 is shown on the display. The crane scale works in gross mode.
Taring Taring is only possible if the scale ist not in motion, i.e. the motion „LED “ is not lit. Once the tare weight is accepted the scale is working in the net mode. Manual taring In gross mode press the Tare key. The scale stores the weight value as tare value. The display shows 0 (kg) and the Net LED lights.
Call up current tare weight In net mode press the F key. The tare weight is displayed and the Tare LED lights. Note: With the F key you can switch between net and tare weight. See chapter 6.7 for working with the accumulation function.

Calling and taking over the tare weights saved 1. Press mode and tare buttons consecutively. The content of the first tare memory shall be displayed. The number of the storage area shall be represented by a small figure on the right. 2.
Weighing Load the crane scale. The weight value is indicated immediately. Note The crane scale offers optical weighing help, i.e. the display blinks if the weight value is not within boundaries set. To do this, an upper and lower limit must be entered in the “Weighing with tolerance range”...
Page 38
Automatic accumulating Load a weight equal or heavier than the minimum accept limit. The weight is automatically added to the accumulator. The Total LED is lit. The internal item counter is increased by 1. Notes • The weight is accumulated automatically if it is equal or heavier than the minimum accept limit set in the User menu, see chapter 8.3.
Clearing the accumulator Press repeatedly the F key to recall the first digits of the accumulated weight (H…) Press key →0← in order to delete the amount accumulator. 3. Confirm SAVE with the mode key.The accumulator is cleared; the crane scale is back to gross mode.
Returning to the peak weight measuring cycle When the peak weight is displayed, press the C key. The display changes to the current gross weight and the peak weight measuring cycle is ended. Clearing the peak weight 1. When the peak weight is displayed, press the a keys. The display returns to the actual gross weight.
6.12 Battery operation For optimum battery operation please observe the following: Do not recharge the battery until it has been fully discharged. Charge the battery at least every 3 months to keep it in good condition. When the crane scale is not in use for a long time, remove the battery. Battery indicator There are two levels of battery indicators: With the BAT LOW LED lit, charge the...
6.13 Operation with remote control The remote control can be operated at distances up to 15 meters. You can operate all functions except switching on via the remote control. With the remote control the additional function numeric tare is possible. Aim the top of the remote control to the front of the crane scale.
7. User menu In the master mode you can modify parameters concerning your specific weighing application. Overview The crane scale menu consists of two areas: The user menu and the service menu for service technicians, see chapter 8. Operation is the same in both areas. The user menu parameters are represented by numbers in the display.
Operation in menu Display in user menu The display is divided in 3 groups: Selecting parameter groups or settings Example 1: to get from parameter group F3 directly to parameter group F4 Press the Tare key to get to the next parameter group. Example 2: In order to access sub-parameter F3.1 from parameter group F3 Press the Mode button to access the sub-parameters.
