Changes to the weighing system's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance. The weighing system unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default settings. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing. KFP V40-IA-e-1412...
In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and weighing systems may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
4.1 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. 4.2 Personnel training The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use The weighing bridges 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 weighing system.
6.2 Unpacking, Scope of delivery Danger for the back! The weighing bridge is relatively heavy. Always use a suitable lifting device to lift it out of the packaging or to transport it to the required installation site. CAUTION Do not step under the suspended load, risk of injury! Scope of delivery: •...
6.3 Assembly, levelling Accurate weighing results require a weighing bridge with perfect horizontal alignment. During initial installation and after each change of work area it is necessary to level the weighing bridge. Placing the weighing bridge: 1. Prior to the final placing, install the four weighing cell feet. 2.
6.4 Connecting a display unit Attention Put the connecting cable to the display unit in a manner that it is protected against damage. Description of the connection cable: terminal Color State EXC+ [IN+] voltage + SIG + [OUT+] green signal + SIG -[OUT-] white signal -...
7.1 Operation limits • The weighing bridges are designed extremely robust. However the load limits according to the following table should not be exceeded! • Depending on the type of load receptacle, the static carrying capacity, i.e. the maximum admissible load is: Weighing ranges 1500kg 4500kg...
Do not use water jet or high-pressure cleaner. 8.3 Service, maintenance The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians who are authorized by KERN. Ensure that the weighing system is regularly calibrated, see chap. 3.5 Testing instruments control.
8.5 Instant help In case of an error in the program process, briefly turn off the balance and disconnect from power supply. The weighing process must then be restarted from the beginning. Help: Fault Possible cause • Draught/air movement The displayed weight is permanently changing •...
9 Service documentation • This chapter is only intended for a balance specialist! • The weighing bridges are carried out in DMS sensor technology, at every corner a DMS weighing cell is installed. • The analogue-digital transformation occurs in the display unit. Also all the balance and country-specific data are stored there.
9.2 Check and adjustment of the corner load Check of the corner load: • Place the test weights in the centre of the load plate and tare. • The balance displays -0-. • Place the test weights successively on all four corners.

Adjustment of weighing cell J2 takes place at the potentiometer VR1. Adjustment of weighing cell J3 takes place at the potentiometer VR2. Adjustment of weighing cell J4 takes place at the potentiometer VR3. Adjustment of weighing cell J5 takes place at the potentiometer VR4. Increase the value turning to the right, reduce the value turning to the left.
