FEATURES

AutoCal™ Internal Calibration
Automatically calibrates the balance
when it senses a temperature change
that can affect weighing accuracy.

to compare samples.
Modular Design
Offers flexibility to mount the display
above the balance, to a wall or use it
remotely on the countertop.
APPLICATIONS
Weighing
Determine the weight of items in the
selected unit of measure. Minimum
Weight feature is also available.
Percent Weighing
Measure the weight of a sample displayed
as a percentage of a pre-established
Reference Weight.
Dynamic Weighing
Weigh an unstable load. Balance takes an
average of weights over a time period.
Totalization
Measure cumulative weight of multiple
items. Cumulative total may exceed
Balance capacity.
Differential
Store sample weights and calculate the
difference between initial weights and
final weights.
Peak Hold
