Description

A&D Apollo GX-A & GF-A Trade Approved Precision Balance

Experience Precision and Efficiency with A&D Apollo Precision Balances. Note: This is the trade approved version.

The A&D Apollo Series Precision Balances combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design to deliver unmatched performance and reliability in laboratory weighing.

  • Faster Repeatability Checks
    Advanced ECL (Electronically Controlled Load) technology, allowing internal repeatability testing in just 1.5 minutes. No external weights required. This save time compared to traditional 5–10 minute tests.

  • Smart Performance Monitoring
    The APA (Auto Precision Assessment) feature calculates standard deviation on-site without calibration weights, enabling daily performance checks with a single key press. It also sets and monitors Minimum Weight limits automatically or manually.

  • Damage Prevention & Operator Guidance
    The ISD (Impact Shock Detection) system alerts users to shock levels in real time. This helps prevent sensor damage and extend the lifespan of your Precision Balance.

  • Advanced Flow Control
    Monitor and manage sample flow with the FRD (Flow Rate Display) function. Display mass or volume flow rates and store up to 10 sample densities for precise, repeatable dosing.

  • Enhanced Data Management
    With UAC (User Access Control), UFC (Universal Flexi Coms), RS232, and USB interfaces, allowing the user secure and flexible data handling for labs with demanding compliance or reporting needs.

  • Additional Features

    • Internal (GX-A) or external (GF-A) calibration models

    • Calibration via one-touch, timer, or temperature-triggered modes

    • SCF (Statistical Calculation Function) for on-board analytics

    • Optional accessories: Large Glass Breeze Break, Built-in Static Eliminator, and more

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for answers to frequently asked questions.

A calibration certificate proves the accuracy of your weighing equipment. It is very likely that if accuracy matters in your workplace, certification will be required by your industry regulators. They are straightforward to get hold of though. Just ask our team.

If you are trading or transacting anything by weight, you will probably need to demonstrate your weighing equipment is verified for trade use. This gives your customers confidence in your business and will make sure buying and selling run smoothly. We can help get you with relevant approvals for your equipment.

The answer will vary depending on how your equipment is used. As a minimum, we typically recommend once a year but our team can provide advice based on your individual circumstances.

The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) has established standards for the classification of calibration test weights. Varying from E0 & E1, which are the most accurate to M2 which are commonly used for calibrating platform scales, floor scales and other industrial weighing instruments.

As a rough guide we have listed desired accuracy against class below.

+/- 0.1% – UNclassed Proof Load Test Weights
+/- 0.05% – M3 (Check/calibrate coarse scales)
+/- 0.005% – M1 (Check/calibrate standard scales)
+/- 0.0015% – F2 (Check/calibrate portable balances)
+/- 0.0005% – F1 (Check/calibrate precision balances)
+/- 0.00015% – E2 (Check/calibrate analytical balances)

The choice of weight class depends on the intended use and the level of accuracy required for a particular application. If you’re unsure, talk to our team who can advise you on the right class for your equipment.

If you’re sending a scale back to us for recalibration, it is ideal to use the original packaging. If this is not available choose a sturdy well-padded box to avoid shocks. Where possible, protect the load sensor by removing the weighing pan and any under-pan support and pack these separately in the box. You may be able to use the equipment’s locking pins or screws too.

Do ensure all the paperwork, including your contact details, is included to ensure we can return it once calibration is complete.
