24 CFS/CCS-BA-e-12206.6 Mains connectionPower is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must bethe same as the local voltage.Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent byKERN.6.7 Rechargeable battery operation (optional)The rechargeable battery is charged via the delivered power cable.Before the first use, the rechargeable battery should be charged by connecting it tothe mains power cable for at least 15 hours. The operation time of the rechargeablebattery is approx. 70 hours. When connecting a second balance, the operation timewill be reduced. The charging period for total charge is c. 12 hoursTo save the rechargeable battery, in the menu (see chap.12.2) the automaticswitch-off function [„ “ „ „] can be activated, switch-off time selectableafter 0, 3, 5, 15, 30 minutes.If an arrow appears on the weight display above the battery symbol or"bat lo" when turning on the balance, this is an indication that the capacity of therechargeable battery will soon be exhausted. The balance will be ready to operatefor about another 10 hrs., then it will switch off automatically. Connect the powercable as soon as possible to load the rechargeable battery.The LED display informs you during loading about the loading status of therechargeable battery.red: Voltage has dropped below prescribed minimum. Connect mainsadapter to load the rechargeable battery.green: Battery is completely dischargedyellow: Battery very low. Connect mains adapter as soon as possible to load therechargeable battery.6.8 Connection of peripheral devicesBefore connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the datainterface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply.With your balance, only use accessories and peripheral devices by KERN, as theyare ideally tuned to your balance.6.9 Initial CommissioningIn order to obtain exact results with the electronic balances, your balance musthave reached the operating temperature (see warming up time chap. 1).During this warming up time the balance must be connected to the power supply(mains, accumulator or battery).The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.Strictly observe hints in chapter Adjustment.
