3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Proper use
The scale purchased by you is intended to determine the density of solids and
liquids. The determination of the density is based on the Archimedean Principle, see
chapter 8.1.
Furthermore, the scale can also be used to determine the weighing value of the
weighing object. 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 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 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.
