KERN & SOHN HFC 10T-3 - Manual (Page 10)

2.4 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual

Carefully read this operation manual before setup and
commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN
balances.

All language versions contain a non-binding translation.
The original German is binding.
2.5 Proper use
The balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of material
to be weighed. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ balance, i.e. the
material to be weighed is suspended on the load receptor only vertically, manually,
carefully and without jerks. As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the
weighing value can be read.
 Use the suspended balance only for lifting and weighing of freely movable loads.
 Danger of injury due to improper use. Not allowed are e.g.:
-
Exceeding the allowed nominal load of crane, suspended balance or any
type of load attachment devices
-
Conveying persons,
-
Pulling loads over an inclined surface,
-
Tearing-off, pulling or towing loads.
 Modifications or reconstructions of the suspended balance or of the crane are not
allowed.
2.6 Improper Use
Do not use balance 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“. (Example: Slowly draining fluids from a
container suspended on the balance.) Do not leave permanent load suspended on
the balance. This may damage the measuring system as well as safety-relevant
parts.
The balance may only be used according to the described conditions. Other areas of
use must be released by KERN in writing.
