3 Basic Information (General)

3.1 Documentation

These installation instructions contain all data necessary for placing and
commissioning the platform KERN TKFP V20-A.
In combination with a display unit, described below as weighing system, for operation
configuration, please refer to the operating instructions of the display unit.

3.2 Proper use

The platform purchased by you is intended to define the weighing value of weighed
goods. It is intended to be used as a "non-automatic balance", i.e. the material to be
weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing pan. As soon
as a stable weighing value is reached, the weighing value can be read.

3.3 Improper Use

• Our balances are non-automatic balances, not provided for the use in dynamic
weighing processes. However, the balances can also be used for dynamic weighing
processes after verifying their individual operative range, and here especially the
accuracy requirements of the application.
• Do not leave permanent load on the weighing pan. This can damage the measuring
mechanism.
• Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighing
system, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. The weighing
system could be damaged.
• Never operate the weighing system in explosive environment. The serial version is
not explosion protected.
• 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.

3.4 Warranty

Warranty claims shall be voided in case:
• Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored
• The appliance is used beyond the described intended use
• Structural changes of the device
• Mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids
• Natural wear and tear
• The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected
• Overload of the measuring system

3.5 Monitoring of Test Resources

In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the weighing
system and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The
responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test.
