3 Basic Information (General)

3.1 Proper use

The display unit acquired by you is used in combination with a weighing plate and
serves to determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be
used as a "non-automatic weighing system", i.e. the material to be weighed is
manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing plate. As soon as a stable
weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.

3.2 Improper Use

Do not use display unit 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" in the display unit. (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 weighing
plate, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Both, the weighing
plate and the display unit may be damaged during this process.
Never operate display unit in explosive environment. The serial version is not
explosion protected.
Changes to the display unit's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect
weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the display unit.
The display unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default
settings. Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.
