Industrial Washdown Protection on a Laboratory Precision Balance

Why is IP65 Important?

Corrosion of the internal boards is a common cause of equipment failure.  Most balances are not rated to prevent moisture from getting inside the unit.  With an IP65 balance you don't have to worry about accidental spills, high humidity environments or cleaning procedures cuasing damage to boards or critical electronics.

Additionall, 100% dust ingress protection means that they are perfect for use in dusty or powdery environments.  The extra protection from the load cell compared to standard lab balances prevents any foreign material from entering the weighing unit, which is often the cause of failure in any environment dealing with fibers, dust, powders or loose granules.

Easy Diagnostics at the Touch of a Button

Electronically Controlled Load performs a self diagnostic check and an internal repeatability test without an external weight in less than 2 minutes.

  • Easily integrate a diagnostic check into your operation procedures
  • Streamline a manual and time consuming verification process
  • Piece of mind that your balance is meeting specifications even in difficult environments

Durable and Hygienic Construction

Built–to-last durability provides increased protection and more stable performance in the lab or factory.

  • Die-cast aluminum top and bottom housing provides extra stability and durability
  • Large stainless steel weigh pan and dust plate can be easily removed for cleaning
  • Overload protection and Impact Shock Detection increase protection of weigh cell increasing the lifetime of your balance

Features

Taking Weighing Precision and Protection to New Heights

Advanced Sensor Technology
Smart SHS® is the latest advancement in our super hybrid design, construction and algorithms.

  • Increased productivity via faster stabilization times (1 second in fast mode)
  • Lower cost of ownership due to reduce number of parts and maintenance accessibility

Innovative Solutions 
Electronically Controlled Load (ECL) does a self-diagnostic before performing an internal repeatability test without an external weight, all in less than a minute and a half. 

  • Dia-Check – the diagnostic result that validates if the balance critically passes or fails
  • SD – standard deviation that allows for daily precision check, ideal for S.O.P.s
  • QuickMin-S – determines minimum sample weight in any given environment
  • Min-S Alert – alerts user to ensures they are operating within USP41 compliance

Impact Shock Detection (ISD)

  • Impact-alert visually and audibly indicates the magnitudes of impact shocks
  • Shock-log documents date, time, and shock level

Flow Rate Display (FRD)
Helps streamline and improve filling or dosing accuracy and precision.

  • FR-Cal – calculates, displays/outputs the mass or volume flow rate by entering density
  • FR-Compare – comparator that provides feedback if the flow rate is within limits

Good Data Management

  • Internal/external calibration with easy one-touch button - performs and documents internal calibration
  • Automatic Self-Calibration (ASC) – auto calibrates based on temperature and time interval
  • Password-Protect – offers password-protection up to 11 users and 1 administrator
  • GLP/GMP/GCP Compliance with full calibration reports

Leveling Made Easy

  • Bright-bubble – large, easy-to-see, front mounted spirit level with LED Illumination
  • Fly-thumbwheel is effortless and accessible, allows ergonomic adjustment with anti-slip feet

Simple User and Data Interface

  • Six straightforward keys – ON/OFF, CAL, MODE, SAMPLE, PRINT, REZERO
  • Reverse backlit LCD is a large display with great black and white contrast, provides excellent visibility
  • Standard RS-232C & USB – Toggle between the Quick USB mode or Virtual COM mode (bi-directional)

Cleanable Robust Construction

  • Stainless steel pan and dust-plate can be easily removed for cleaning
  • Easy to assemble anti-static breeze break on 0.001 readability models
  • Die-cast aluminum housing provides extra stability and durability
