7 Unpacking, Setup 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: •...
7.2 Unpacking, checking and installation Open packaging and remove all parts carefully. Verify that there has been no damage and that all packing items are present. Scope of delivery / serial accessories • Balance • Mains adapter • Operating instructions Prior to any installation and assembly works, the balance must be separated from the mains supply.
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.
8 Adjustment As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the balance has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory).
• Carry out adjustment as near as possible to the balance’s maximum weight (required adjustment weight see chap. 1). Info about adjustment weights can be found on the Internet at: http://www.kern-sohn.com • Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain warm-up time.

Procedure: Press CAL in the weighing mode. The device will display the value of the required adjustment weight (e.g. 100 g). In the ADB 200-4A model, select <CAL 200> by pressing TARE. Press CAL again, you will see the indication <CAL in>. No objects may be left on the weighing plate.
9 Basic Operation 9.1 Start-up As soon as the balance is supplied with energy, the indicator [ ] is displayed. To switch on press the ON/OFF key. The balance carries out a display test. As soon as the weight display appears, the balance is ready for weighing.

9.3 Zeroing In order to obtain optimal weighing results, reset to zero the balance before weighing. Unload the balance. Press the TARE key. Wait until the zero display appears. 9.4 Sample weighing Place the goods to be weighed and close the windshield.

9.6 Weighing with tare The dead weight of any weighing container may be tared away by pressing a button, so that the following weighing procedures show the net weight of the goods to be weighed. Set balance to zero Deposit empty weighing container. The result is displayed.
10 Applications 10.1 Parts counting Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part weight (i.e. the 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.
