Manual
The scale platform can only be walked on by people that can stand on it 
securely with both feet, or sit calmly (in the case of chair scale and wheel 
chair scale). 
Scale platforms or footrests are equipped with anti-slip material which cannot be  
removed or covered when people are weighed. 
When scales equipped with height measure are used, pay attention that the top flap 
is always folded down after their use to avoid danger of injury. 
Before any use, the scale must be checked for correct condition by an authorised  
person. 
When the scale doesn’t connect with the transmission cable, 
please do not touch the transmission port to prevent ESD inter-
ference occurs. 
3.3  Inappropriate use 
Do not use the scales for dynamic weighing.  
Do not leave a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage the measur-
ing equipment.  
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the scale in excess of the prescribed 
maximum load rating (max.), minus any possible tare weight that is already present. 
This could result in damage of the scale. 
Never operate the scale in hazardous locations. The series design is not explosion-
proof. Attention should be paid that flammable mixture may also be formed from  
anaesthesiological means that contain oxygen or laughing gas (nitrous oxide). 
Construction alterations may not be made to the scale. This can lead to incorrect 
weighing results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of the 
scale. 
The scale may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines. Other are-
as of application/planned use must be approved by KERN in writing.
