23 572/573/KB/DS/FKB-BA-e-17746 Unpacking, installation and commissioning6.1 Place of installation, place of useThe balance is constructed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be achievedunder normal application conditions.By selecting the correct location for your balance, you will be able to work quickly and pre-cisely.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 aradiator or in the direct 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. Inadmis-sible bedewing (condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur if a cold de-vice is taken into a significantly warmer environment. In this case, please acclima-tise the device for approx. 2 hours at room temperature after it has been discon-nected from the mains.- Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container and wind-shield.Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) are possible if electromagnetic fieldsoccur as well as due to static charging and instable power supply. It is then necessary tochange the location.6.2 UnpackingCarefully remove the balance from its packaging, remove the plastic wrapping and positionthe balance in its intended working location.6.2.1 InstallationInstall the balance in such a fashion that the weighing plate is absolutely horizontally.6.3 Mains supplyElectric power supply is by means of the external mains supply circuit. The printed voltagelevel must comply with the local voltage.Only use original KERN mains supply circuits. The use of other makes is subject to ap-proval by Kern.
