Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for this. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
7 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 7.1 Installation Site, Location of Use The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance. Therefore, observe the following for the installation site: •...

• When the balance is unloaded the saved taring value is displayed with negative sign. • To delete the stored tare value, remove load from weighing pan and press the TARE button. • The taring process can be repeated any number of times, e.g. when adding several components for a mixture (adding).
9 Operating concept From factory the balance is delivered with various applications (normal weighing, check weighing, counting). After the first start-up the balance is in the application. In the application menu (see chap.13.2.) however, you can define, selecting an application, in which mode the balance after switching-on has to continue working.
10 Application How to carry out a simple weighing and taring, please refer to chap. 8.2 or 8.3. Further specific settings you will find in the following chapters. Shouldn’t the application already be enabled, select the menu setting < mode weig h >, see chap. 9 10.1 Application-specific settings + Navigation in the application menu see chap.

11.2 Using the application 11.2.1 Parts counting Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average piece weight (i.e. reference). Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The balance determines the total weight and divides it by the number of parts, the so-called reference quantity.
The balance will calculate the average item weight and then displays the quantity of pieces. Remove reference weight. The balance is now in parts counting mode counting all units on the weighing pan. 2. Parts counting Put the empty container on the weighing pan and press the TARE button. The container is tared, the zero display will appear.
