A and D's High Resolution Scales.


A and D Instruments Ltd of Abingdon Science Park, Abingdon, Berkshire, tel:0123 555 0420 have announced the launch of new high resolution platform scales platform scales

a weighing machine which has a platform on which animals can stand to be weighed.
. There are eight Models in the new Series and each offers a high level of accuracy for a wide range of applications. Models have three platform sizes and are available with maximum capacities of 10, 60, 100 and 200kg, with resolutions up to 1:12,000.

These new models come with large, clear displays and are available with either a vacuum fluorescent display A vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) is a type of display used commonly on consumer-electronics equipment such as video cassette recorders, car radios, and microwave ovens. Unlike liquid crystal displays, a VFD emits a very bright light with clear contrast and can easily support  for use in areas with factory or industry-type lighting to maximize visibility, or liquid crystal displays liquid crystal display (LCD)

Optoelectronic device used in displays for watches, calculators, notebook computers, and other electronic devices. Current passed through specific portions of the liquid crystal solution causes the crystals to align, blocking the passage of light.
 where battery operation or low power usage are considerations. The stainless steel stainless steel: see steel.
stainless steel

Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat.
 weighpans and sealed bases are resistant to both dust and water (IP65 standard) and are therefore suitable for use in a wide range of food industry applications. A choice of three platform sizes means the scales meet all requirements. The smallest size platform is suitable for check-weighing, the medium size is suitable for bench weighing and the largest size are suitable for floor requirements, such as animal weighing.

The HW-G scale has full counting functionality. A comparator comparator

Instrument for comparing something with a similar thing or with a standard measure, in particular to measure small displacements in mechanical devices. In astronomy, the blink comparator is used to examine photographic plates for signs of moving bodies.
 function allows both high and low weight limits to be set, with a choice of display outputs, including red (HI/LO) and green (OK) lights or an optional buzzer. Another selectable feature of the scale is its percentage function, which allows the weight to be shown as a percentage of the standard 100% weight. These functions are particularly useful for checkweighing and filling applications.

The HW-G is energy-efficient and can be selected to automatically shut-down when inactive in·ac·tive  
adj.
1. Not active or tending to be active.

2.
a. Not functioning or operating; out of use: inactive machinery.

b.
. For portability, the scales may be operated by battery for up to 600 hours at a time.

Each model comes complete with a bi-directional RS-232C interface to connect it to a PC or printer.
