4 Basic Information (General)

4.1 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 mate-
rial 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.

4.2 Improper Use

Do not use balance for dynamic add-on weighing procedures, if small amounts of
goods to be weighed are removed or added. The "stability compensation" installed in
the balance may result in displaying an incorrect measuring value! (Example: Slowly
draining fluids from a container on the balance.)
Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. This may damage the measur-
ing 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 dam-
age 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 weigh-
ing 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.
