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. Therefore, observe the following for the installation site: •...
Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by KERN. 6.4 Operation using a (rechargeable) battery (optional) Lift-off the battery cover on the lower side of the balance.
Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data interface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply. With your balance, only use accessories and peripheral devices by KERN, as they are ideally tuned to your balance.
Now press the key. Short time later appears „CAL F“, then return automatically to the normal weighing mode. In the display there appears the value of the adjustment weight. An error during adjustment or the use of an incorrect adjusting weight will result in an error message „CAL E“.
7.2 Weighing Switch on the balance using the key. The balance shows for approx. 3 seconds „88888“ in the display and then goes to „0“. Now it is ready for operation. Important: Should the display flash or not be on „0“, press the key.
7.5 Plus/minus weighings For example unit weight control, fabrication control etc. Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“ display. Put the nominal weight on the weighing plate and tare to „0“ using the key. Remove the nominal weight. Put the test objects subsequently on the weighing plate, the respective deviation from the nominal weight is displayed with the respective sign to „+“...
7.7 Net-total weighings It is useful if a mixture of several components is weighed into a tare vessel and finally the sum weight of all weighed components is necessary for control purposes (net- total, i.e. the weight of the tare vessel). Example: Put tare vessel onto weighing plate, tare with key to „0“.
7.9 Weighing units (Unit) Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“ display. Press the key and keep it pressed until „UNIT“ appears on the display. Press shortly, the selected unit appears in the display. Use the key to select between the different units (see table).

7.10 Display background illumination In the menu the functions of the background illumination can be switched on or off. Proceed as follows: Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“ display. Press the key and keep it pressed until „UNIT“ appears on the display. Press the key seven times, in the display appears „bl“.
7.11 Animal weighing function The animal weighing function can be applied for busy weighings. This setting finds out an average weighing value over a defined period of time. In the menu the time can be set which is necessary to find out the average value. Proceed as follows: Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“...
7.12 Reset to factory setting This function allows the reset of all balance settings to the default setting made in factory before delivery. Proceed as follows: Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“ display. Press the key and keep it pressed until „UNIT“...
8 Settings 8.1 Menu structure: Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“ display. To enter into the menu structure keep the key pressed approx. 3 sec. until „UNIT“ appears. By pressing the key the different menu items are called up. Use the to select a menu item.
8.2 Leave menu structure Everywhere in the menu it is possible to leave the menu structure and thereby save or reject the changes made. After pressing the key „Exit“ is displayed. A : Use the (YES) key, to confirm. After that „store“ is displayed. If it shall be saved, press the key repeatedly.
8.4 Selection of the adjustment weight In the model series KERN CB / FCB, the adjustment weight can be selected from three pre-set nominal values (approx.1/3; 2/3; max) (refer also to table 1 below, factory setting with grey background). In order to achieve high-quality weighing results in the sense of the measuring technology, it is recommended to select the nominal value as high as possible.
8.5 Interface RS232C Data output via interface RS 232 C General Information The previous condition for the data transfer between balance and a peripheral device (e.g. printer, PC ...) is that the appliances are set to the same interface parameters (e.g.
8.6 Selection printed edition Use this function to select which data are sent via the RS232C interface. To achieve this, follow the sequence of operations below: (is not valid for the data transfer mode BAPr ) Switch-on the balance using the key and wait for the „0“...

The printer format is stored in the printer, i.e. in case of a failure the printer cannot be changed with a new one from factory, previously it is necessary that KERN installs the respective software. The Zebra printer and the balance must be connected to the delivered interface cable when they are switched off.
Spilled weighing goods must be removed immediately. 10.2 Service, maintenance The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians who are authorized by KERN. Before opening, disconnect from power supply. 10.3 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.
11 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 • The balance is not switched on. The displayed weight does not glow.
