This general purpose scale has a splashproof keypad with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of 54. This means the SK-2000Z's membrane keypad is protected against dust and splashed water. So, if your SK-Z gets a little messy, just wipe it off and get back to weighing.
This digital scale has earned NSF Certification. This means the National Science Foundation has reviewed this scale and determined that it complies with relevant NSF consensus standard.
Most digital scales will give slow or inaccurate readings in temperatures below 65°, or above 85° Fahrenheit...not this scale. The SK2000Z operates just fine in temperatures as low as 14°, or as high as 104° Fahrenheit. This is perfect for use in kitchens, near ovens, or in refrigerated areas.
The A&D SK-Z Scales have a durable, stainless steel weighing platform. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing. And to make cleanup even easier, the stainless steel platform on the SK-2000Z is completely removable for easy washing.
If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, or run out of power because ya forgot to turn it off, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program the SK-2000Z to turn off after about five minutes of inactivity, or to stay on until ya turn it off yourself.
This very handy feature will help ya quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings.
The tare button on the front of this digital scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use an expansion tray to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
This compact scale is covered with a 2 year warranty from AND Weighing against defects in material and workmanship.
