3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Proper use
The balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of a load. 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 pan. As soon as a
stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
3.2 Improper Use
Do not use balance for dynamic weighing. In the event that small quantities are
removed or added to the load, incorrect weighing results can be displayed due to the
"stability compensation". (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 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.
