Description

Easily adjustable precision balances!

A functional laboratory balance that combines the robustness of a washdown bench scale with advanced functionality? The GX-L/GF-L series, an evolution of A&D’s renowned GP series, excels in delivering precise measurements for heavy or large quantities, even in challenging environments. Now part of the A&D Apollo family, these models boast enhanced features that streamline your weighing process, ensuring greater efficiency and accuracy.

The GX-L/GF-L series balance have some great features:

Firstly, their IP65 rating guarantees they are both dustproof and waterproof, perfect for wet or dirty environments.
Secondly, the Impact Shock Detection (ISD) system provides alerts for potentially damaging impacts, improving the longevity of the product.
Thirdly, the tilt recognition gives the user feedback by way of a light to show when the balance has moved out of level.
Fourthly, the automatic self-sensitivity adjustment ensures continuous accuracy without the need for manual intervention.
Lastly, the balances offer versatile data output options with standard RS-232C and USB interfaces, facilitating seamless communication and integration with other devices.

Features and Benefits:

– Stabilization in approx. 1.5 seconds (typical) for fast, efficient weighing
– Adjustable response characteristics to optimize performance under the given environmental condition (e.g. draft, vibration, etc.)
– Clearly visible, reverse-backlit LCD (main character height: 17.8 mm)
– Counting mode with Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement
– Density determination function for automatic density calculation
– Multiple units of measure: g, kg, oz, lb, lb-oz, ozt, ct, mom, dwt, pcs (counting mode), % (percent mode), DS (density mode), in addition to a user-programmable unit for conversion applications.
– Comparator display with buzzer for intuitive, error-free check weighing
– Capacity indicator that lets you know the remaining capacity of the balance

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for answers to frequently asked questions.

Are readability and accuracy the same thing?

No, although they are both useful measures of weighing equipment performance. Readability refers to the smallest increment of weight that scales or balances will display. A readability of 0.5g, for example, means the scale would display an item of 10.503g’s weight as 10.5g and an item of 10.805g as 11.0g.

Accuracy is a measure of the possible difference between the displayed weight and an item’s real weight. It is often displayed as a percentage. An accuracy of +/- 1% means the scale could measure 100g as anywhere between 99g and 101g.

Do I need a calibration certificate?

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.

Do I need a "Verified For Trade Use" scale?

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.

How often should I have my scales calibrated?

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.

Which class of test weight should I use?

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.

How to pack a scale for shipping

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.
