Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. 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. Versions in other languages are non-binding translations. The only binding version is the original document in German.
Windscreen (PCB 100-3, PCB 250-3, PCB 350-3) 6.3 Mains connection 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. PCB-BA-e-1315...
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.
An error during adjustment or the use of an incorrect adjusting weight will result in an error message „CAL E“. Repeat adjustment. Keep the adjustment close to the balance. Daily control of the weighing exactness is recommended for quality-relevant applications. PCB-BA-e-1315...
