Alibi memory:
Secure, electronic archiving of weighing results, complying with the 2014/31/EU standard.

Data interface RS-232:
To connect the balance to a printer, PC or network

RS-485 data interface:
To connect the balance to a printer, PC or other peripherals. Suitable for data transfer over large distances. Network in bus topology is possible

USB data interface:
To connect the balance to a printer, PC or other peripherals

*Bluetooth data interface:**
To transfer data from the balance to a printer, PC or other peripherals

WiFi data interface:
To transfer data from the balance to a printer, PC or other peripherals

Control outputs (optocoupler, digital I/O):
To connect relays, signal lamps, valves, etc.

Analogue interface:
to connect a suitable peripheral device for analogue processing of the measurements

Interface for second balance:
For direct connection of a second balance

Network interface:
For connecting the scale to an Ethernet network

KERN Communication Protocol (KCP):
It is a standardized interface command set for KERN balances and other instruments, which allows retrieving and controlling all relevant parameters and functions of the device. KERN devices featuring KCP are thus easily integrated with computers, industrial controllers and other digital systems

GLP/ISO log:
The balance displays serial number, user ID, weight, date and time, regardless of a printer connection

GLP/ISO log:
With weight, date and time. Only with KERN printers.

Piece counting:
Reference quantities selectable. Display can be switched from piece to weight

Recipe level A:
The weights of the recipe ingredients can be added together and the total weight of the recipe can be printed out

KERN – Precision is our business

To ensure the high precision of your balance KERN offers you the the appropriate test weight in the international OIML error limit classes E1-M3 from 1 mg – 2500 kg.
In combination with a DAkkS calibration certificate the best pre-requisite for proper balance calibration.

The KERN DAkkS calibration laboratory today is one of the most modern and best-equipped DAkkS calibration laboratories for balances, test weights and force-measurement in Europe.
Thanks to the high level of automation, we can carry out DAkkS calibration of balances, test weights and force-measuring devices 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Range of services:

DAkkS calibration of balances with a maximum load of up to 50 t
DAkkS calibration of weights in the range of 1 mg – 2500 kg
Volume determination and measuring of magnetic susceptibility (magnetic characteristics) for test weights
Database supported management of checking equipment and reminder service
Calibration of force-measuring devices
DAkkS calibration certificates in the following languages DE, EN, FR, IT, ES, NL, PL
Conformity evaluation and reverification of balances and test weights
