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: •...
7.2.1 Setup Level balance with foot screws until the air bubble of the water balance is in the pre- scribed circle. Models CXP: Weighing plate Platform Cantilever Display part Screws (x 2) Support Spring Screws (x 4) Substructure Allen keys A) Insert screw (3) in eye of spring (4) and screw it down.
7.3 Mains connection Power is supplied via the external mains adapter. The stated voltage value must be the same as the local voltage. Only use original KERN mains adapters. Using other makes requires consent by KERN. 7.4 Battery power supply The optionally supplied battery is charged with the supplied power supply.
7.5.1 Start-up Turn on scales with ON/OFF switch (left). The balance will carry out a self-test As soon as the weight display shows "0" in all the three display windows your balance is ready to weigh. On CXP models (with RS 232) an internal number appears before the balance counts down to zero.
7.6 Adjustment with external weight As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the balance has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory).
7.6.2 Adjustment of models CXB Operation Ensure that there are no objects on the weighing plate. The display shows: Press : If „-----„ is displayed, press : „01 FnC“ is displayed: 12345 Press : „02 EC“ is displayed: Press : „EC 00“ appears, the first digit flashes: Use numeric key to enter „01“...

* The adjustment should be made with the recommended adjustment weight (see chap. 1 "Technical data"). Weights of different nominal values may be used for ad- justment but are not optimal for technical measuring. Info about adjustment weights can be found on the Internet at: http://www.kern- sohn.com CXB/CXP-BA-e-1016...
8 Verification General introduction: According to EU directive 90/384/EEC balances must be verified if they are used as follows (legally controlled area): a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing. b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the medical and pharmaceutical laboratory.
8.1 Adjustment key and seals When verification of a scale is finished, the positions indicated on the scale are sealed. Verification of a scale without a seal is invalid. Position of seals: SEAL SEAL SEAL CXB/CXP-BA-e-1016...
9 Parts counting With parts counting you can either count parts into a container or remove parts from a container. To count a greater number of parts the average weight per part has to be determined with a small quantity (reference quantity). The larger the reference quantity, the higher the counting exactness.
9.2 Numeric entering of the reference weight If you know the reference weight/piece you can enter this via number keys. Enter reference weight via number keys 1. 8 33 PRE- TARE Confirm with 1. 8 33 PRE- TARE Reference weight Now you can place the parts to be counted onto the weighing plate.
9.4 Store/call reference weight There are 10 memory locations at your disposal (occupied via number keys 0 -9). 9.4.1 Save Enter the reference weight to be stored 0. 0 PRE- TARE Press button PlSET PRE- TARE Press button PlSET PRE- TARE Enter the storage location for the reference weight via the number keys (0 - 9) 0.
9.4.2 Call-up When the reference weight is required at a later point in time it can be called by pressing the key and entering the relevant storage location number. Press button PlSET PRE- TARE Enter memory location (0 - 9) via number keys and the stored reference weight will appear.

11 Add up The balance is equipped with a summation memory used for adding up of identical counted parts to total quantity and total weight. 11.1 Add up “number parts" Select reference weight and place number of parts for first weighing. 118.
11.2 Add up “weight" Place weight on weighing plate. 118. 3 PRE- TARE The display value is added to the summation memory by pressing the key. ----- ----- PRE- TARE The [ ] display next to "M+" indicates the stored value. After dead stop control was carried out the balance will return automatically to counting mode.
11.3 Delete stored values Unload balance and press the key. Stored values, total weight, total number of pieces and number of weighings will be set to zero. The [ ] display next to "M+" disappears. 12 Application menu To adjust the balance to individual requirements, use the application menu to change settings for the balance 12.1 Navigation in the menu Press...

14 Data output (CXP models only) The balance is typically equipped with a RS 232C interface. 14.1 RS 232C interface The RS 232C interface allows a bi-directional data exchange from the balance to ex- ternal devices. This data exchange is asynchronous using ASCII - Code. Pin allocation of balance output plug: Technical specifications of interface: Baud rate...
