572/573/KB/DS-BA-defsi-04410 315.2 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.6.2 UnpackingCarefully remove the balance from its packaging, remove the plastic wrapping and position the balance in itsintended working location.6.2.1 InstallationInstall the balance in such a fashion that the weighing plate is absolutely horizonta6.3 Mains supplyElectric power supply is by means of the external mains supply circuit. The printed voltage level must complywith the local voltage.Only use original KERN mains supply circuits. The use of other makes is subject to approval by Kern.6.4 Connecting peripheral equipmentThe balance must be disconnected from the mains before connecting or disconnecting additional equipment(printer, PC) to or from the data interface.Only use KERN accessories and peripheral equipment with your balance. These have been ideally coordina-ted to your balance.6.5 Initial start-upA warm-up time of 15 minutes stabilises the measured values after switching on.The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of the fall.Please be sure to observe the information in the chapter on adjusting.
