Installation Instructions
When choosing a location to set up your
balance, observe the following:
– Avoid placing the balance in close
proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the balance to heat or direct
sunlight
– Protect the balance from drafts that come
from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the balance to extreme
vibrations during weighing
– Do not expose the balance to extreme
moisture over long periods
Conditioning the Balance
Moisture in the air can condense on the
surfaces of a cold balance whenever
it is brought into a substantially warmer
place. If you transfer the balance to a
warmer area, make sure to condition it
for about 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
Seal on Balances Verified for Use in
Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to the verified balance.
The control seal consists of a sticker
with the "KERN" logo. This seal will be
irreparably damaged if you attempt
to remove it. If the seal is broken, the
validity of the verification becomes null
and void, and you must have your
balance re-verified.

ment on the European Economic Area
