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 at a low cost in the KERN calibration laboratory (against the national reference) approved by DKD (Deutsche Kalibrierdienst).

Checking during reception Immediately after you have received the shipment, please check if it is free from any visible damage. The same applies for the unpacked device. First start To get accurate weighing results using electronic scales, ensure the scales achieves the appropriate operating temperature (see “Heating time”, chapter 1).
3. About the crane s cale The crane scale is a universal and economical solution used wherever weighing takes place overhead, e.g. in recycling, metal processing, machine engineering, transport and logistics. The remote control makes the operation even more comfortable. Indication overview kg The current weight unit is a kilogram.
Keyboard overview: Button Function description • Switching the scale on and off • Weight blocking (freezing) • Weight unit switching (kg lb N) • Zeroing • Zeroing Remote control The remote control enables to operate the scale the same as it is done using the keyboard.
Stickers Do not stand and pass under suspended loads. Do not use in the construction site. Always watch the suspended load. Do not exceed the permissible rated load of the crane (overhead crane), crane scale or any components used to hoist the load on the crane scale.
Unpacking The delivered and unpacked crane scales must not be returned. SAFETY The crane scale is sealed by KERN. The shackle and the hook are sealed by means of concerning breaking adhesive tape. protection It cannot be removed from the packaging without tampering with the adhesive tape seal.
Original dimensions Before first use, check the dimensions and note them down on the checklist. To do it, enter the dimensions in the “Periodic maintenance” checklist as per the drawings in chapter 8.3. For that purpose, use appropriate control measures. Rechargeable battery operation PLEASE NOTE! ...
The rechargeable battery should be charged: Before first use, charge the rechargeable battery for 14 hours using the power cord. The rechargeable battery operating time is ca. 30 hours with the display backlight on and 100 hours without it. The symbol displayed means that the battery capacity will soon run down.
Scale hanging Preliminary condition The crane (overhead crane) hook must come with a safety catch (1) preventing the unloaded crane scale from falling. If there is no safety catch or if it damaged, contact the crane (overhead crane) manufacturer to obtain a hook with the required safety device. The crane scale may be used only with a crane (overhead crane) with an “articulated joint”.
5. Operation Safety instructions Danger of injuries from falling loads! Danger Always work exercising the utmost care and in line with the general crane (overhead crane) operation principles. Check all the components (hook, lug, rings, rope sling ropes, cables, chains etc.) for excessive wear or damage. ...
Crane scale loading To achieve correct weighing results, follow the following instructions, see the figures on the following page: Always use the components for load hoisting which ensure one-point free scale suspension. Do not use too large hoisting equipment which does not ensure one-point suspension.

Switching on/off Switching on Press the ON/OFF button. Once the displays is lit, the scale autotest will be carried out. Wait until zero is displayed. Switching off Press the ON/OFF button. Zeroing Hang the initial load. Press TARE button and wait until zero is displayed. The container weight is saved in the scale memory.
Weight unit switching Pressing the UNIT button results in displaying the subsequent weight unit, i.e. kg lb N. Indicates the active unit. Functions The Hold button enables to active the following functions: Setting Function “Data Hold 1” function When you press the Hold button, the weighing value will be frozen for 5 s “Data Hold 2”...

5.7.1 “Data Hold” function Switch the scale on, press and hold the HOLD button until the current “Hx” is displayed (H1–H6). Press the ON/OFF several times until the required setting “H1–H4” is displayed. Confirm the setting selection, pressing the HOLD button. ...
Page 26
5.7.3 Peak value function This function enables to display the highest loading value (peak value) for one weighing. Weighing frequency: 200 ms. Please note: The peak value must never overload the scale beyond the quoted maximum load (!!!Breaking hazard!!). Switch the scale on, press and hold the HOLD button until the current “Hx” is displayed (H1–H6).
6. Menu When the scale is on, press and hold the HOLD button. Do not release the HOLD button. Press and hold the ON/OFF button as well. Press and hold the ON/OFF button, but release the HOLD one. ...
7. Adjus tment Switch the scale off, whenever required hang the auxiliary holder. Switch the scale on with the auxiliary holder hung. Press and hold the Unit button (ca. 3 s) until the “CAL” symbol is displayed. Wait until the weight value of the required adjustment weight is displayed (see chapter 1).
8. Maintenance, repair, cleaning and dis pos al Before you start any works related to the maintenance, cleaning and repair, disconnect the device from the operating voltage. There is the danger of injuries and property damage! The crane scale is a part of the lifting device! To ensure safe operation, follow the guidelines below: Danger ...
Periodic maintenance and service Periodic inspections and maintenance should be carried out as scheduled in chapter 8.6 “Inspection cycles”. Periodic maintenance every 3 months can be carried out solely by trained specialists possessing basic knowledge of the crane scale operation. It is necessary to follow the national OH&S regulations as well as operating, user and safety instructions in force in the user’s location.
Page 31
Periodic maintenance: Entering and verification of all dimensions, see the First start, every 3 months “Checklist”, chapter 8.3. Check the scale and suspension components for wear, including e.g. plastic strain, mechanical damage (roughness), notches, grooves, cracks, corrosion, damaged threads and twists.
