6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 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, vapours 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.
6.2 Unpacking
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the intended
workstation.
6.2.1 Placing
The balance must be installed in a way that the weighing plate is exactly in horizontal position.
6.3 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.
