2 Basic Information (General)
2.1 Proper use
The balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. 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 plate. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
2.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance 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 balance.
(Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. This may damage the measuring system.
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the balance, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Balance may be damage by this.
Never operate balance in explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion protected.
The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance.
The balance may only be used according to the described conditions. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
2.3 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
2.4 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the balance 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 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.
3 Basic Safety Precautions
3.1 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.
3.2 Personnel training
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.
4 Transportation & Storage
4.1 Testing upon acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
4.2 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 transport securing devices. (see chapter 5.2)
⇒ Secure all parts such as the glass wind screen, the weighing platform, power unit etc. against shifting and damage.
5 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
5.1 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:
- Place scales 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 balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
- Avoid jarring during weighing;
- Protect the balance against high humidity, vapors and dust;
- Do not expose the device 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 ca. 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.
5.2 Unpacking/installation
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended workstation.
Ensure that transport guard has been removed (only existing in 6 kg models)

For transportation screw down the transport screw till to the stop in clockwise direction.
→ Levelling
Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in the prescribed circle.
5.2.1 Scope of delivery / serial accessories
Balance
■ Mains power supply
- Operating instructions
5.3 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.
5.4 Rechargeable battery operation (option)
The internal battery is charged with the supplied mains cable.
Before the first use, the rechargeable battery should be charged by connecting it to the mains power cable for at least 15 hours. The operating time of the battery is about. 70h. Charging time until complete recharging ca. 12h.
To save battery life, the background light can be switched off in the menu (See chap.. 11 menu).
An arrow [▲] appearing on the weight display below the battery icon + - indicates that the capacity of the rechargeable battery is low. The balance will be ready to operate for about another 10 hrs., then it will switch off automatically. Connect the power cable as soon as possible to load the rechargeable battery.
5.5 Connection of peripheral devices
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.
5.6 Initial Commissioning
In order to obtain exact results with the electronic balances, your balance must have reached the operating temperature (see warming up time chap. 1).
During this warming up time the balance must be connected to the power supply (mains, accumulator or battery).
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
Strictly observe hints in chapter Adjustment.

9 Adjustment
As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance 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 balance 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 balance periodically in weighing operation.
- For verified balances the adjustment is locked. In order to access the menu you will have to short-circuit the two contacts of the circuit board with a jumper (See chap. 9.3).
Attention:
After destruction of the seal the balance must be re-verified by an authorised agency and a new verification wire/seal mark fitted before it can be reused for applications subject to verification.
Observe the verification notes (see chapter 9.3).
- The weight to be used depends on the capacity of the balance. Carry out adjustment as near as possible to the balance'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.

9.3 Verification
General introduction:
According to EU directive 90/384/EEC balances must be verified if they are used as follows (legally controlled area):
a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing.
b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the medical and pharmaceutical laboratory.
c) For official purposes.
d) For manufacturing final packages.
In cases of doubt, please contact your local trade in standard.
Verification notes:
An EU Qualification Approval is in existence for verified weighing systems. If a balance is used where obligation to verify exists as described above, it must verified and re-verified in regular intervals.
Reverification is carried out according to relevant national statutory regulations. The validity for verification of balances in Germany is e.g. 2 years.
The legal regulation of the country where the balance is used must be observed!
- Verification of the weighing system is invalid without the "seal".
Notes on verified balances
Possible seals: B urgent, and A or C
- Seal of approval
- Cover
- Verification switch
- Verification wire
9.4 Linearization (non-verified models only)
Linearity shows the greatest deviation of a weight display on the scale to the value of the respective test weight according to plus and minus over the entire weighing range.
If linearity deviation is discovered during a testing instrument control, you can improve this by means of linearization.
- Carrying out linearization is restricted to specialist staff possessing well acquainted with the workings of weighing scales.
- The test weights to be used must be adapted to the weighing scale's specifications; see chapter 2.4 "Testing instruments control".
- Observe stable environmental conditions. Stabilisation requires a certain warm-up time.
- After successful linearization you will have to carry out calibration; see chapter 2.4 "Testing instruments control"

⇒ To return to gram / kilo mode, press
Printout example:
Percent:
G. 199.99%
10.4 Parts counting
Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part weight (i.e. reference). Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The balance determines the total weight and divides it by the number of parts (the so-called reference quantity). Counting is then carried out on the basis of the calculated average piece weight.
The higher the reference quantity the higher the counting exactness.
(example)
→ Place the reference quantity
⇒ Press F, the scales will change to quantity counting mode Reference quantity of 10, P 10 will appear.
→ Reference quantities of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 can be set
by pressing TARE
(example)
→ Confirm by pressing
You will briefly see a line on the screen before the scales show the respective quantity

12 Data output
12.1 RS232 interface
The RS 232 interface allows a bi-directional data exchange from the balance to external devices. This data exchange is asynchronous using ASCII - Code.
12.1.1 Technical data
- ASCII code
■ 8 data bits
■ Baud rate selectable at 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 bps
■ Miniature plug-in necessary (9 pole D-Sub) - No parity
- For operation with interface faultless operation is only ensured with the correct KERN – interface cable (max. 2m)
12.1.2 Pin allocation of balance output bushing:
Pin 2: Output
Pin 3: Input, not used
Pin 5: Signal ground
12.1.3 Explanation of the data transfer
Example:
| Header1 | , | Header2 | , | -/space | W1 | W2 | W3 | W4 | W5 | W6 | W7 | , | unit | terminator |
| Header 1 | 2 byte, St or US, ST=weighing value stable, US=weighing value instable |
| Header 2 | 2 byte, G or N, G=gross weight, N= net weight |
| space | Blank |
| W1-W7 | Weight value with decimal position |
| Unit | 2 byte, kg or lb |
| Terminator | (CR=Carriage return)(LF= Line Feed) |
12.2 Remote control instructions
The remote control commands are sent from the remote control unit to the balance as ASCII code. After the balance having received the s/w/t commands, it will send the following data.
Take into account that the following remote control commands must be sent without a subsequent CR LF.
| T: tare | Taring |
| Z: zero | Zeroing |
| S: stable status | Sending stable weight values |
| W: | Sending stable or unstable weight values |
| P: | Sending the number of pieces (PCS) |
13 Service, maintenance, disposal
13.1 Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the operating voltage.
Please do not use aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents), but a cloth dampened with mild soap suds. Take care that the device is not penetrated by fluids and polish it with a dry soft cloth.
Loose residue sample/powder can be removed carefully with a brush or manual vacuum cleaner.
Spilled weighing goods must be removed immediately.
13.2 Service, maintenance
The appliance may only be opened by trained service technicians who are authorized by KERN.
Before opening, disconnect from power supply.
13.3 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.
13.4 Error messages
| Error message | Description | Possible causes |
 | Zeroing range exceeded due to switching-on balance or pressing  normally 4% max) | Object on the weighing plateOverload when zeroingImproper adjustmentDamaged weighing cellDamaged electronics |
 | Keyboard error | Improper operation of the balance |
 | Value outside the A/D changer range | Damaged weighing cellDamaged electronics |
 | Unable to initialise zero point | Measuring cell defective / overloadedObject on weighing pan / contactTransport safety device has not been removedMain board defective |
Should other error messages occur, switch balance off and then on again. If the error message remains inform manufacturer.
14 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 displayed weight does not glow.
- The balance is not switched on.
- Mains power supply interrupted (mains cable defective).
• Power supply interrupted. - Rechargeable battery inserted incorrectly or empty
The displayed weight is permanently changing
- Draught/air movement
• Table/floor vibrations
- Weighing plate has contact with other objects.
- Electromagnetic fields / static charging (choose different location/switch off interfering device if possible)
The weighing result is obviously incorrect
• The display of the balance is not at zero
- Adjustment is no longer correct.
• 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.
