Electronic Laboratory Balance with Glass Draft Shield

The electronic laboratory balance is designed to deliver exceptional performance in high-precision measurements. Equipped with a high-precision load cell, this model ensures reliable and fast results, making it ideal for applications in laboratories, jewellery workshops and other settings that require maximum accuracy. Available in two versions with a maximum capacity of 100 g or 300 g and a readability of 0.001 g.

The balance’s robust aluminium housing and Ø 90 mm stainless steel weighing pan ensure long-lasting durability. Adjustable threaded feet and a built-in spirit level allow perfect levelling for consistently precise results. The balance is fitted with a high-quality borosilicate glass draft shield, featuring self-sliding side and top doors for easy sample access and protection from external influences that could affect weighing accuracy.

The backlit LCD display provides clear readings, even in low-light conditions. The balance includes automatic external calibration (weight included: 50 g for the 100 g model and 200 g for the 300 g model), simplifying the calibration process and ensuring reliable performance. Selectable measurement units include grams (g), carats (ct), ounces (oz), pounds (lb) and troy ounces (ozt), offering flexibility for various applications.

Among its advanced features, the balance offers a full-range tare function and a built-in hook for below-balance weighing, making it easy to weigh irregular or suspended objects. It also features a piece counting function with selectable reference quantities, making it ideal for inventory or sorting tasks.

The stabilisation time is rapid — just 1 to 1.5 seconds — improving efficiency during measurement tasks. An overload protection system helps prevent damage due to excessive loads, ensuring long-term durability. RS232 and USB outputs make integration with other devices simple for data transfer.

Recommended operating conditions: The balance is suitable for use at temperatures between 5–35 °C with relative humidity of 50–85 %. Its compact design, measuring 295 × 192 × 280 mm with a total weight of 7.2 kg, makes it easy to install on workbenches or inside weighing enclosures. Supplied with a mains adapter.

This balance is a reliable, versatile and easy-to-use laboratory instrument, perfect for tasks that demand maximum precision and flexibility in unit selection. Its robust design and advanced functions make it an essential tool for demanding weighing applications.
