1. Pendahuluan
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.
Please read this manual thoroughly before initial use and keep it for future reference.
2. Petunjuk Keselamatan

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. Pengaturan
- Penempatan: 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.
- Perakitan: Connect the cable from the weighing platform to the designated port on the digital display unit.
- Penyamarataan: 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.
- Perlindungan Angin: 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.
- Sambungan Daya: Connect the power adapter to the display unit and then plug it into a suitable power outlet.
5. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
5.1 Daya Hidup/Mati
- To turn the balance ON, tekan tombol AKTIF/NONAKTIF button. The display will show a self-test and then settle at 0.00g.
- To turn the balance MATI, tekan dan tahan tombol AKTIF/NONAKTIF tombol sampai layar mati.
5.2 Penimbangan Dasar
- Ensure the balance is powered on and displays 0.00g.
- Letakkan barang yang akan ditimbang dengan hati-hati di tengah platform timbangan.
- Tunggu hingga tampilan stabil. Berat yang stabil akan ditampilkan.
- Singkirkan barang tersebut dari platform.
5.3 Fungsi TARE
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.
- Tekan tombol TARA tombol. Layar akan diatur ulang ke 0.00g.
- Add the substance to be weighed into the container. The display will show the net weight of the substance.
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 MODE/KAL or SET/M button in specific modes.
5.4 Unit Selection / Mode
Tekan tombol MODE/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 Kalibrasi
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.
- Tekan dan tahan tombol MODE/KAL Tekan tombol hingga "CAL" muncul di layar.
- 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 Fungsi Cetak
If your balance is connected to a compatible printer or data interface, pressing the MENCETAK button will send the current weighing data to the connected device.
6. Pemeliharaan
