    The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance. The balance may only be used according to the described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing. GAB-P-BA-e-1613...
  • Page 12: Warranty

    The responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.

    6.4 Mains connection Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use KERN original mains adapter. Using other makes requires consent by KERN. 6.5 Rechargeable battery operation The rechargeable battery is charged via the delivered power supply.
  • Page 17: Adjustment

    6.7 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).

  • Page 23: Overload Warning

    7.4 Overload warning Overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the balance, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. This could cause damage to the balance. Exceeding maximum load is indicated by the display of „----“ and an audio sound. Unload balance or reduce preload.
  • Page 24: Percent Weighing

    7.6 Percent weighing Percent weighing allows to display weight in percent, in relation to a reference weight.  Switch on balance, wait for zero display  Put a reference weight on the weighing plate, which corresponds to 100 %. (example) ...
  • Page 25: Parts Counting

    7.7 Parts counting Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part 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).
  • Page 26: Weighing With Tolerance Range

    7.8 Weighing with tolerance range You can set an upper or lower limit when weighing with tolerance range and thus ensure that the material to be weighed remains exactly within the set limits. Exceeding or dropping below the tolerance range is indicated by an audio sound or optical signal.
