bench scales / portable

If you are to keep only one scale in your office, or, if you are to take only one scale to distant locations by car, what type of scale will you choose? Consider A&D's SA series of portable bench scales, which are highly versatile and capable of both precise and high-capacity weighing.

For weights up to 3 kg/3000 g, the SA series can measure with a readability of 0.001 kg/1 g. When the weight exceeds 3 kg (not including tare, such as the weight of a container), the readability switches to 0.01 kg but the measurement can be done up to 30 kg, 60 kg or 150 kg, depending on the capacity of the model. In other words, if you have one unit of the SA series, you will be able to handle just about any kind of measurement normally required in the home, office or out in the field.

The SA series has a large weighing pan (330 mm x 330 mm) and is low in profile (approx. 73 mm). It has also a large handle on the side. Therefore, you can easily take the scale wherever and whenever it is necessary to measure a weight, while storing it between furniture or by propping it against a wall when it is not in use.

The LCD display (24 mm character height) of the SA series has a white backlight that is clearly visible even in a dimly-lit area. Moreover, the display is 180-degree reversible so that you can read the weighing results from the direction that suits your use.

The SA series comes standard with an AC adapter. It can also be operated on four D batteries (for approx. 700 hours with alkaline batteries, backlight OFF) for portability and use in the field without AC power. With the optional RS-232C interface, weighing data can be output to a PC, printer or other peripheral devices.
