KERN FKA Operating Instructions Manual

FKA-BA-e-1616 52 Basic Information (General)It is absolutely necessary that you read and understand the operating instructions prior toinstallation and commissioning and follow the instructions during the process!2.1 Proper useThe balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of material to beweighed. It is intended to be used as a“non-automatic“ balance, i.e. the material to beweighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing plate.As soon as astable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.2.2 Improper UseDo not use balance for dynamic weighing. In the event that small quantities are removed oradded to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results can be displayed due to the“stability compensation“ in the balance (Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container onthe balance.).Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate.This may damage the measuring sys-tem.Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the balance, minusa possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Balance may be damage by this.Never operate balance in explosive environment.The serial version is not explosion pro-tected.The structure of the balance may not be modified.This may lead to incorrect weighing re-sults, safety-related faults and destruction of the balance.The balance may only be used according to the described conditions.Other areas of usemust be released by KERN in writing.2.3 WarrantyWarranty claims shall be voided in case- Our conditions in the operation manual are ignored- The appliance is used outside the described uses- The appliance is modified or opened- mechanical damage and damage caused by media, liquids- natural wear and tear- The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected- The measuring system is overloaded2.4 Monitoring of Test ResourcesIn the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the balance and,if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. The responsible user mustde-fine a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test.Our accredited DKDcalibration laboratory offers fast and inexpensive adjustment for test weights and weighingbalances (reset to na-tional normal weight).
