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...
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.
4 Basic Safety Precautions 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. All language versions contain a non-binding translation. The German original document is binding.
6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 6.1 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.
6.2 Unpacking / installation Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended workstation. Make sure that all transport locking devices are removed To release the transport lock unscrew the transport screw 1 – non verifiable models or ...
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.
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).
6.8 Non-verifiable models: Switch on the balance and during the selftest press the and the button at the same time. „UnLoad“ is displayed shortly. Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing pan. „LoAd“ is displayed ...
Carefully place adjusting weight in the centre of the weighing plate. Wait for stability display , then press „PASS“ will be displayed shortly. After the adjustment the balance will carry out a self-test. Remove adjusting weight during selftest, the appliance will return into weighing mode automatically.

Adjustment switch 6.11 Checking the balance verification settings For the adjustment, the balance must be switched over to service mode. In the service mode the parameters of the balance can be modified. The service parameters may not be modified, as this could damage the balance settings.
7 Operation 7.1 Switching on/off To turn on/off confirm forward at the underneath on the right of the scale and keep pressed for a little while. The balance will carry out a self-test. As soon as the weight display appears, the balance is ready for weighing. ...
7.3 Taring Deposit weighing receptacles (example) After successful standstill control press the button. The zero display and „NET“ will appear. The weight of the weighing container is now internally saved. Place material to be weighed and read weight value (example) ...
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.
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) ...
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).
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.

Display of the saved weighing data: With the weighing platform unloaded, press and the number of weighing processes, followed by the total weight will be displayed for 2 sec and afterwards printed. Delete weighing data: With the weighing platform unloaded, press The data in the summation memory are deleted.
7.10 Automatic adding-up This function is used to add the individual weighing values automatically into the summation memory and to provide a printout via the installed printer. To set this function, see chap. 8.2 „AU on“ Place material to be weighed A After stabilisation display has taken place, you will hear an audio sound.
