Ohaus Corporation, a manufacturer of balances and scales, is advancing the Adventurer Pro line of electronic balances with a range of analytical and high-precision models.
The new scales provide a variety of standard features and available options, including the frameless, flip-top draft shield and internal calibration.
The company claims that users frustrated by spilled materials will welcome the easy-access weighing chamber of the Adventurer Pro, as the draft shield is designed without the need for top rails.
As a result, users have unsurpassed access to the weighing platform to clean up spills or to place or retrieve materials to be weighed, reducing spillage and eliminating waste.
All doors, including the front and back panel on the frameless draft shield, are said to be simple to remove and replace for cleaning.
Smartext is Ohaus's balance software that utilises text prompts to guide users through application use and balance setup.
Delivered through a two-line backlit LCD and clearly marked buttons, Smartext tells users what is happening and what needs to be done next.
Utilising the two-line LCD, Smartext simultaneously displays weight and application-specific information such as per cent or count.
For example, with one touch of the function button, Smartext will display application reference information, such as average piece weight (APW), while displaying a parts count in the weight display.
Quadrastance design incorporates four adjusting feet and helps to prevent rocking and tipping, enhancing the weighing stability of the balance and keeping the Adventurer Pro level and accurate.
Additionally, Adventurer Pro has been designed with an upfront level indicator, eliminating the need to look behind the balance during the levelling process.
A quick look at the upfront level indicator helps to ensure that the balance is level prior to use, according to the company.
Adventurer Pro has been designed with standard features, such as an ergonomic levelling system, RS232 connectivity and GLP data capabilities.
The Adventurer Pro also now offers Incal internal calibration.
Incal is intended to ensure weighing accuracy by allowing users to calibrate the balance prior to use without the need for external weights.
All Adventurer Pro models come with a built-in RS-232 interface and, for added functionality and interoperability, can be equipped with either a second RS-232 or USB interface, allowing connections to multiple peripherals with full GLP/GMP data output.
The Adventurer Pro is built with a large stainless-steel weighing platform and operates either on battery or by AC power.
The balances offer six application modes and can perform in 17 US and international weighing units.
Standard features include multiple application modes featuring enhanced parts counting, animal/dynamic weighing, check weighing, percentage weighing, totalisation and display hold.
The RS232 interface with GLP data output allows users to connect to a PC or a printer and record GLP/GMP data, including date, time, balance ID, user ID, project ID and reference data.
Selectable environmental settings let users adjust the balance to compensate for vibrations and other disturbances.
Some models offer portability, utilising four AA batteries, with an energy-saving automatic shut-off feature.
All models can be run on the included AC powerpack.
An integral weigh-below hook allows for density or specific gravity determination.
The in-use cover and security bracket protect the balance against spillage and theft.
Adventurer Pro is available in both analytical and precision configurations, in a variety of capacities.
The line of precision balances offers capacities ranging from 51g x 0.001g to 8,100g x 0.1g.
The lines of analytical balances offer capacities of 65g, 110g and 260g.
