HUS/HUM-BA-e-1131 9Monitoring of Test ResourcesIn the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of thebalance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly. Theresponsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test.Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard tothe monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. InKERN’s accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may becalibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.Testing upon acceptanceWhen receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and theappliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.Initial CommissioningIn order to obtain exact results with the electronic balances, your balance must havereached 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.For checking original dimensions, s. chap. 4.2Shutdown and storage Take off the crane scales from the crane and dismantle all load attachmentdevices from the crane scales. Do not store the crane scales at open air
