1. Uvod
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your KERN PCD 6K-4 Precision Laboratory Balance. This laboratory scale features a separate weighing platform, making it ideal for use in specialized environments such as glove-bags or extractor cabinets, particularly when weighing toxic, volatile, or contaminated substances. It includes a PRE-TARE function for manual extraction of known container weights, useful for precise filling quantity controls.
Pred prvo uporabo natančno preberite ta priročnik in ga shranite za poznejšo uporabo.
2. Varnostna navodila
- Tehtnico vedno uporabljajte na stabilni, ravni površini brez vibracij.
- Avoid exposing the balance to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
- Tehtnice ne preobremenjujte preko njene največje nosilnosti 6000 g.
- Keep the balance clean and free from dust and chemical spills.
- Uporabljajte samo napajalnik, ki je priložen napravi.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the balance yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel.

Figure 1: KERN PCD 6K-4 Precision Laboratory Balance
This image shows the KERN PCD 6K-4 precision laboratory balance. It consists of a square weighing platform with a stainless steel surface, connected by a cable to a separate digital display unit. The display unit features a large digital readout, along with buttons for ON/OFF, MODE/CAL, SET/M, PRINT, and TARE. The display indicates a maximum capacity of 3500g and a readability of 0.01g, though the model is 6K-4 (6000g max). The separate design is ideal for use in specialized environments like glove-bags.
4. Nastavitev
- Umestitev: Place the weighing platform and display unit on a stable, vibration-free, and level surface. Ensure sufficient space for operation and avoid direct sunlight, drafts, or significant temperature fluctuations.
- Montaža: Connect the cable from the weighing platform to the designated port on the digital display unit.
- Izravnavanje: Use the adjustable foot bolts located on the underside of the weighing platform to level the balance. Observe the integrated spirit level (if present) to ensure precise horizontal alignment.
- Zaščita pred vetrom: If your model includes a wind protection ring (for Ø 105 mm weighing plates), carefully place it around the weighing platform. This helps stabilize readings in environments with air currents.
- Napajalni priključek: Connect the power adapter to the display unit and then plug it into a suitable power outlet.
5. Navodila za uporabo
5.1 Vklop/izklop
- To turn the balance ON, pritisnite VKLOP/IZKLOP button. The display will show a self-test and then settle at 0.00g.
- To turn the balance IZKLOP, pritisnite in držite VKLOP/IZKLOP gumb, dokler se zaslon ne izklopi.
5.2 Osnovno tehtanje
- Ensure the balance is powered on and displays 0.00g.
- Predmet, ki ga želite stehtati, previdno postavite na sredino tehtalne ploščadi.
- Wait for the display to stabilize. The stable weight will be shown.
- Odstranite predmet s platforme.
5.3 TARE Function
The TARE function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so only the net weight of the contents is displayed.
- Place the empty container onto the weighing platform. The display will show its weight.
- Pritisnite TARA button. The display will reset to 0.00g.
- V posodo dodajte snov, ki jo želite stehtati. Na zaslonu se bo prikazala neto teža snovi.
The balance also features a PRE-TARE function for manual entry of a known container weight. Consult the full manual for detailed instructions on using PRE-TARE, typically accessed via the NAČIN/KAL or SET/M button in specific modes.
5.4 Unit Selection / Mode
Pritisnite NAČIN/KAL button to cycle through available weighing units (e.g., grams, kilograms, pounds, ounces) or to enter different operating modes. Refer to the full manual for a list of supported units and mode functions.
5.5 Kalibracija
Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your balance. Calibration should be performed using certified calibration weights.
- Ensure the balance is stable and free from any load.
- Pritisnite in držite NAČIN/KAL gumb, dokler se na zaslonu ne prikaže "CAL".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to place the required calibration weight(s) onto the platform.
- Once calibration is complete, the balance will return to weighing mode.
Note: Specific calibration procedures may vary. Always consult the detailed instructions provided with your balance for precise steps and recommended calibration weights.
5.6 Funkcija tiskanja
If your balance is connected to a compatible printer or data interface, pressing the NATISNI button will send the current weighing data to the connected device.
6. Vzdrževanje
- Čiščenje: Pred čiščenjem izključite napajanje. Uporabite mehko,amp cloth with a mild detergent to clean the weighing platform and display unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquid enters the device.
- Shranjevanje: When not in use for extended periods, store the balance in a clean, dry, and stable environment. Use the provided safety cover to protect it from dust.
- Pregled: Regularly inspect the power cable and connections for any signs of damage.
7. Odpravljanje težav
| Težava | Možen vzrok | rešitev |
|---|---|---|
| Zaslon se ne vklopi. | Ni napajanja; napajalnik je okvarjen. | Check power connection; ensure adapter is functional. |
| Nestabilne odčitke. | Vibrations; drafts; uneven surface; electromagnetic interference. | Place on stable surface; use wind protection; level the balance; move away from interfering devices. |
| Incorrect weight displayed. | Balance not calibrated; object placed off-center; overload. | Perform calibration; place object centrally; ensure weight is within capacity. |
| "Err" or other error message. | Overload; internal error. | Remove load; restart balance. If error persists, contact support. |
