KDP-BA_IA-e-1710 64 Basic Information (General)4.1 Proper useThe weighing platform you purchased is intended to determine the weight value ofmaterial to be weighed. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic weighingsystem”, i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centreof the weighing plate. As soon as a stable weight value is reached the weight valuecan be read.4.2 Improper UseDo not use the digital weighing platform for dynamic weighing. In the event that smallquantities are removed or added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighingresults can be displayed due to the “stability compensation“ in the display unit.(Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container on the balance.)Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. This may damage the measuringsystem.Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the weighingplate, minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. This may damagethe weighing plate or the digital weighing platform.The digital weighing platform should never be operated in area where there is a riskof explosion. The serial version is not explosion protected.The construction of the digital weighing platform may not be changed. This may leadto incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the display unit.The digital weighing platform may only be used as specified here. Other areas of usemust be released by KERN in writing.4.3 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 or damage by media, liquids, natural wear and tear• The appliance is improperly set up or incorrectly electrically connected• The measuring system is overloaded
