Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. In KERN's accredited calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
7 Unpacking, Installation and Commissioning 7.1 Installation Site, Location of Use The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance. On the installation site observe the following: •...
Check, whether the voltage acceptance on the scales is set correctly. Do not connect the scales to the power mains unless the information on the scales (sticker) matches the local mains voltage. Only use KERN original mains adapter. Using other makes requires consent by KERN. Important: ➢...
7.5 Rechargeable battery operation (optional) ATTENTION The rechargeable battery and the battery match with each other. Only use the delivered mains adapter. Do not use the balance during the loading process. The rechargeable battery can only be replaced by the same or by a type recommended by the manufacturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data interface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply. With your balance, only use accessories and peripheral devices by KERN, as they are ideally tuned to your balance.

9.2 Piece counting Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average piece weight (i.e. reference). Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The balance determines the total weight and divides it by the number of parts, the so- called reference quantity.
Use the key to switch between piece quantity and weight display (standard setting see chap. 8.4). 9.2.2 Counting with freely selectable reference quantiy < FrEE>. Put the empty container on the weighing plate and press the TARE button. The container is tared, the zero display will appear.

Issue may be made to a printer, PC or check displays. In reverse order, control orders and data inputs may be made via the connected devices. The balances are equipped with a KUP connection (KERN Universal Port) as per standard.
11.1 KERN Communications Protocol (KERN Interface Protocol) KCP is a standardized set of interface orders for KERN balances, which allows many parameters and device functions to be called up and controlled. KERN devices that have KCP can use it to connect easily to computers, industrial control systems and other digital systems.
