4 Basic Information (General)
4.1 Proper use
The weighing platform you purchased is intended to determine the weight 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 weight value is reached the weight value
can be read.
4.2 Improper Use
Do not use the digital weighing platform 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 plate. 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. This may damage
the weighing plate or the digital weighing platform.
The digital weighing platform should never be operated in area where there is a risk
of explosion. The serial version is not explosion protected.
The construction of the digital weighing platform may not be changed. This may lead
to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the display unit.
The digital weighing platform may only be used as specified here. Other areas of use
must be released by KERN in writing.
