Ohaus has announced the launch of its Explorer Pro line of precision and analytical balances.
The Explorer Pro balances combine new capabilities with an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI), boosting the performance of the balance.
The Explorer Pro is equipped with numerous features, including six application modes; a large backlit dot-matrix display; multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German and Italian; and an optional Autocal feature.
Explorer Pro analytical balances are available in capacities and readabilities ranging from 62g x 0.1mg to 210g x 0.1mg.
Explorer Pro Precision models range from 210g x 0.001g to 8,100g x 0.1g, and Explorer Pro High Capacity models range from 12,000g x 0.1g to 32,000g x 0.1g.
Every Explorer Pro features built-in application modes including weighing, parts counting, percent weighing, check weighing, filling and gross/net/tare.
The Explorer Pro line's standard features include an upfront levelling system, RS232 connectivity and GLP Data capabilities including date, time, balance ID, user ID, project ID and reference.
Explorer Pro's optional Autocal feature is available on every Explorer Pro model.
It automatically calibrates the balance when it senses a temperature change sufficient enough to affect weighing accuracy.
The Ohaus Explorer Pro line brings together several key elements to bridge the gap between ease-of-use and sophisticated operation.
Explorer Pro's design and intuitive user prompts make the products' advanced applications easy to follow and use.
Even complex operations are made simple with the balances' three soft keys, which are application-specific and allow direct access to items such as calibration, units, new count, sample size, new reference, reference, new target and/or target.
The backlit dot-matrix display allows users to display either simple weighing results or more advanced results including piece count, average piece weight, sample size, tare weight and more.
Explorer Pro allows users to simultaneously view this type of reference information along with the actual weight of the load on the platform.
The capacity guide provides a visual aid by displaying the relationship between the total load on the platform and the total capacity of the balance, whereas the fill guide displays the relationship between the total load on the platform and a user-defined target.
The application modes found in Explorer Pro are also more advanced, according to Ohaus.
For example, the animal-weighing application allows users to perform animal-weighing procedures in manual, semi-auto or automatic modes.
The parts-counting function includes parts-counting check and parts-counting fill features and the check-weighing application is capable of displaying results as a weight or a message (under, accept or over).
An up-front levelling bubble ensures that the balance is level before each use, while its programmable filtering capability compensates for vibrations and other disturbances to ensure accuracy and precision.
Explorer Pro comes standard with a weigh-below hook, which facilitates easy and accurate density and gravity determination.
A standard in-use cover protects Explorer Pro from spills at no additional cost, while an integral security bracket protects your investment from theft.
The standard RS232 port connects Explorer Pro directly to the optional, low-cost Ohaus SF42 printer for outputting of GLP data, while the standard auxiliary port provides flexibility for use in legal applications requiring a secondary display.
NTEP and OIML approved models of both the precision and analytical balances are available for use in legal environments such as jewellery shops and pharmacies.
