5 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
5.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common
conditions of use.
You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site:
-
Place the balance on a firm, level surface;
-
Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing next to a
radiator or in the direct sunlight;
-
Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
-
Avoid jarring during weighing;
-
Protect the balance against high humidity, vapors and dust;
-
Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time. Non-
permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may occur if
a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case,
acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room temperature.
-
Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container and
windshield.
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable major
deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible. In that case, the location
must be changed.
5.2 Unpacking
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance
at the intended workstation.
5.2.1 Placing
Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water
balance is in the prescribed circle.
5.3 Mains connection
Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the
same as the local voltage.
Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by KERN.
