4 Basic Information (General)
4.1 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 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.
4.2 Improper Use
Our balances are non-automatic balances and not provided for use in dynamic
weighing processes. However, the balances can also be used for dynamic weighing
processes after verifying their individual operative range, and here especially the
accuracy requirements of the application.
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 the 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.
