What is the maximum weight capacity of the Kern CH 15K20?

The maximum weight capacity for the Kern CH 15K20 is 15 kg.

What is the resolution of this scale?

The resolution of the Kern CH 15K20 is 20 g.

How do I use the Tare function?

Place your container on the hook, press the 'tare' button to reset the display to zero, then add the item you wish to weigh. The display will show only the weight of the item added.

What is the purpose of the Data-Hold function?

The Data-Hold function locks the currently displayed weight on the screen, allowing you to remove the item from the hook and still read the measurement.

How long do the batteries typically last?

Battery life depends on usage, but the Auto-Off function helps conserve power. Specific battery life can vary.

Can I weigh liquids with this scale?

You can weigh liquids if they are contained within a vessel. Use the Tare function to zero out the weight of the empty container before adding the liquid.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The scale is designed to operate between a minimum temperature of +5°C and a maximum temperature of +35°C.

Troubleshooting

Scale shows '0' or incorrect weight

Ensure the scale is not overloaded. Check if the 'tare' function has been accidentally activated. Verify the scale is on a stable surface and not being influenced by drafts.

Display is blank or dim

Replace the batteries. Ensure the batteries are inserted correctly according to polarity markings.

Scale powers off too quickly

This is likely the Auto-Off function. Remove the item and press any button to wake it up if needed. If it powers off immediately, check battery levels.

Reading is unstable

Ensure the scale is held steady or suspended without movement. Avoid weighing in windy conditions. Check for any damage to the hook or suspension mechanism.
