572/573/KB/DS/FKB/FCB/PCB-BA-e-0853124 Fundamental safety information4.1 Observe the information in the operating instructionsPlease read the operating instructions carefully before erecting and commissioning, even if you already haveexperience with KERN balances.4.2 Staff trainingThe device may only be operated and looked after by trained members of staff.5 Transport and storage5.1 Acceptance checkPlease check the packaging immediately upon delivery and the device during unpacking for any visible signsof external damage.In the case of visible damages please obtain a signature from the bearer to serve as confirmation of dam-age. Do not make alterations to the goods and packaging, do not remove any consignment parts. Reportthe damage to the parcel service immediately in writing ( within 24 hours).5.2 PackagingPlease retain all parts of the original packaging in case it should be necessary to return items at any time.Only the original packaging should be used for return consignments.Before despatch, disconnect all attached cables and loose/movable parts, remove weighing plate.Apply any intended transport security devices. Secure all parts, e.g. glass windshield, weighing plate, powerunit etc., to prevent slipping and damage.6 Unpacking, installation and commissioning6.1 Place of installation, place of useThe balance is constructed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be achieved under normal appli-cation conditions.By selecting the correct location for your balance, you will be able to work quickly and precisely.Therefore please observe the following at the place of installation:- 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 thedirect 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. Inadmissible bedewing(condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur if a cold device is taken into a significantlywarmer environment. In this case, please acclimatise the device for approx. 2 hours at room tem-perature after it has been disconnected from the mains.- Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container and windshield.Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) are possible if electromagnetic fields occur as well asdue to static charging and instable power supply. It is then necessary to change the location.
