KERN Precision balance PCB 3500-2

The KERN PCB 3500-2 precision balance measures a capacity of 3500 g with a measuring accuracy of 0.01 g. The easy-to-read LCD display, energy-efficient automatic switch-off and automatic zero setting ensure convenient and efficient handling, while the automatic calibration function ensures consistent accuracy. In addition, the PCB 3500-2 precision balance from KERN's IoT-Line features a convenient pre-tare function that allows the weight of a container to be subtracted from the total measurement. This is especially useful when measuring powdered or liquid materials that are often stored in containers.

Practical additional functions of the PCB 3500-2 precision balance

For precise measurement results during weighing and as a support in everyday laboratory work, the balance has various additional functions.

With the tare function, the respective dead weight of preloads can be determined and tared in advance. This function is suitable in the laboratory, for example, for glass vessels and reagent holders. Only the tared weight is then shown on the display.

Thanks to the integrated auto-off function, the balance switches itself off after a short time. This conserves the batteries and saves the additional effort of deactivating the scale manually.

With the help of Industry 4.0 and the integrated KERN Universal Port (KUP), the laboratory balance offers easy connection to external devices. This enables the connection of KUP interface adapters such as RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, WLAN or Ethernet. Using the adapters is particularly easy, as they can simply be plugged in without opening the balance housing and without time-consuming installation. With the interface adapters, weighing data can be conveniently transferred to networks, PCs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, printers and other devices. It is also possible to send control commands and data inputs to the scale via the connected devices.

The recipe function allows multiple ingredients in a given quantity to be combined into one recipe and the weights of each ingredient to be calculated automatically. This saves time and improves accuracy.
