3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Proper use
The display unit acquired by you is used in combination with a weighing plate and serves to determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be used as a "non-automatic weighing system", i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing plate. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use display unit for dynamic weighing. In the event that small quantities are removed or added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results can be displayed due to the "stability compensation" in the display unit. (Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing pan. This may damage the measuring system.
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighing plate, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Both, the weighing plate and the display unit may be damaged during this process.
Never operate display unit in explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion protected.
Changes to the display unit's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the display unit.
The display unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default settings. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
3.3 Warranty
Warranty claims shall be voided in case
Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored
The appliance is used outside the described uses
The appliance is modified or opened
- Mechanical damage or damage by media, liquids, natural wear and tear
- The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected
- The measuring system is overloaded
3.4 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the display unit 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. Information is available on KERN's home page (www.kern-sohn.com with regard to the monitoring of display units' test substances and the test weights required for this. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and display units 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.
4.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
5 Transport and storage
5.1 Testing upon acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
5.2 Packaging / return transport

Keep all parts of the original packaging for a possibly required return.
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 glass wind screen, the weighing platform, power unit etc. against shifting and damage.
6 Unpacking and placing
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The display units are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use.
Precise and fast work is achieved by selecting the right place for your display unit and your weighing plate.
On the installation site observe the following:
- Place the display unit and the weighing plate on a stable, even surface.
- Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
- Protect the display unit and the weighing plate against direct draft from open windows or doors.
- Avoid jarring during weighing;
- Protect the display unit and the weighing plate against high humidity, vapours and dust.
- Do not expose the display unit to extreme dampness for longer periods of time. Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for approx. 2 hours at room temperature.
- Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container.
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced should electromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), static electricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. Change location or remove source of interference.
6.2 Unpacking/installation
Carefully remove the display unit from packaging, remove plastic cover and place it in the designated work area.
Mount the display unit in a way that facilitates operation and where it is easy to see.
Push support base in guide rail [11] up to end stop [12], see chap. 2.
6.3 Scope of delivery / serial accessories:
- Display Unit
- Platform
- Mains adapter
- Operating manual
Accurate weighing results require a balance with perfect horizontal alignment. During initial installation and after each change of work area it is necessary to level the balance.
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 original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by KERN.
6.5 Adjustment
As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each display unit with connected weighing plate 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 weighing system has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory). This adjustment process must be carried out for the first commissioning, after each change of location as well as in case of fluctuating environment temperature. To receive accurate measuring values it is also recommended to adjust the display unit periodically in weighing operation.

- The adjustment weight to be used depends on the capacity of the weighing system. Carry out adjustment as near as possible to the weighing system's maximum weight. Info about test weights can be found on the Internet at: http://www.kern-sohn.com.
- Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain warm-up time.

Overload warning
Overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the device, minus a possibly existing tire load, must be strictly avoided. This could damage the instrument.
Exceeding maximum load is indicated by the display of „LLLLL“, and a signal sound. Unload weighing system or reduce preload.
7.5 Weighing with tare
| Place an empty weighing container, the weight of the weighing container will be displayed. | 0.500 |
| Press zero display appears. The indicator [NET] is displayed. The tare weight is saved until it is deleted. | NET 0.000 |
| Weigh the material, the net weight will be indicated. The taring process can be repeated any number of times, e.g. when adding several components for a mixture (adding). The limit is reached when the whole weighing range is exhausted. After removing the weighing container, the weight of the weighing container appears as negative display. The tare weight is saved until it is deleted. | NET 7.000 |
| Delete tare value: Unload the balance and press zero display will appear. | 0.000 |
7.6 Hold function (animal weighing function)
The balance has an integrated animal weighing function (mean value calculation). Using this function it is possible to weigh domestic or small animals exactly (min. load 1% of the max. one), although they do not stand quiet on the weighing plate.
| Place weighing goods and press display will be blinking [-HOLD-] and the indicator [hold] appears. During this time the balance takes up several measured values and displays then the calculated mean value. This value will be displayed until you press HOLD. The indicator [hold] turns off, the balance will return to the normal weighing mode. By pressing HOLD, this function can be repeated any number of times. | -HOLD-hold ↓ 10.987 (Example) |
