Identification of manufacturer of medical product including address Kern & Sohn GmbH D–72336 Baligen,Germany www.kern-sohn.com “Electro-medical appliance“ with attachment for type B Device protection category II Dispose of old appliances separately from your household waste! Instead, take them to communal collection points.
The weighing platforms are fitted with an anti-slip surface that must not be covered during weighing a person. The balance should be checked for correct condition prior to each utilisation by a person familiar with proper operation of the balance. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
In KERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
5.1 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 original German is binding.

NOTE 1 Higher frequency range applies to 80 MHz and 800 MHz. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The spread of electromagnetic variables is influenced by absorption and reflections in buildings, objects and humans. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
Only use original packaging for returning. Prior to dispatch disconnect all cables and remove loose/mobile parts. Reattach possibly supplied transport securing devices. Secure all parts such as the weighing platform, power unit etc. against shifting and damage. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
When using the power pack, ensure that the power cable does not produce a risk of stumbling. 8.3 Scope of delivery Serial accessories: • Balance • Power pack unit (EN 60601-1 attestation of conformity) • Operating instructions MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
Power is supplied by the external power unit which also serves to isolate the mains supply from the scale. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Always use genuine approved KERN power pack units as per EN 60601-1 directive. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
(mains, accumulator or battery) and be switched on. The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity. The value of gravity acceleration is shown on the type plate. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
• Incorrect adjusting process • Fault on load cell Value outside the A/D converter range • Damaged weighing cell • Damaged electronics Should other error messages occur, switch balance off and then on again. If the error message remains inform manufacturer. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
Remove dirt immediately. 11.3 Service, maintenance The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians who are authorized by KERN. Disconnect the scales before opening. 11.4 Disposal Disposal of packaging and appliance must be carried out by operator according to valid national or regional law of the location where the appliance is used.
• Great fluctuations in temperature. • Warm-up time was ignored. • Electromagnetic fields / static charging (choose different location/switch off interfering device if possible) Should other error messages occur, switch balance off and then on again. If the error message remains inform manufacturer. MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
The weighing result of the balance is outside the error limit. Therefore, in • regular intervals load balance with known test weight (ca. 1/3 of the max. load) and compare with displayed value. The reverification deadline has been exceeded. • MPD_M-BA-e-1211...
Rehab clinics and health authorities are treated as hospitals. (4 years of verification validity) Not treated as hospitals (verification validity not limited) are dialysis stations, nursing homes and doctor’s surgeries.
