Kern HCB 50K20 Crane Hanging Scales 50kg HCB 50K20 User Manual

 HCB-BA-defsi-0630 

 

2.1 Proper 

use 

The balance you purchased is intended to determine the 
weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be 
used as a “non-automatic“ balance, i.e. the material to be 
weighed is manually and carefully suspended. As soon as a 
stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be 
read. 

2.2 Improper 

Use 

Do not use balance for dynamic weighings. In the event that 
small quantities are removed or added to the material to be 
weighed, incorrect weighing results can be displayed due to the 
“stability compensation“ in the balance. (Example: Slowly drain-
ing fluids from a container suspended on the balance.) No 
permanent load must remain on the balance. This may dam-
age the measuring system. 
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load 
(max) of the balance, minus a possibly existing tare load, must 
be strictly avoided. Balance may be damaged by this (danger 
of breaking). 
 
Caution:  

Ö  Make sure that never persons or objects are under the 

load which could be injuried or damaged! 

Ö  The balance is not suitable for weighing persons! 

Ö  The balance does not correspond to the law of medical 

products (MPG). 

Never operate balance in explosive environment. The serial 
version is not explosion protected. 
The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may 
lead to incorrect weighing results, safety-related faults and 
destruction of the balance. 
The balance may only be used according to the described 
conditions.  
Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.

2.4 

Monitoring of Test Resources 

In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related 
properties of the balance and, if applicable, the testing weight, 
must be checked regularly. The responsible user must define a 
suitable interval as well as type and scope of this test. Informa-
tion 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 cali-
brated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate 
cost. 

Ö  Do not use the suspended balance for conveying loads 
Ö  Never exceed the maximum permitted load (!!Danger of 

breaking!!). 

Ö  Always ensure that there are no persons, animals or 

objects that might be damaged underneath the load. 

Ö  Avoid any kind of shock, torsion and oscillating (e.g. 

caused by inclined suspending)  

 

No No 

 

 

 

 

 

Only apply under 
tensile force

3.2 Personnel 

training
