Programmable Power On Unit

If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like pounds for instance), it can be a real pain if your scale always turns on ready to weigh in kilograms. It's a good thing you can program this bench scale to always turn on with the weighing unit of your choice.

Programmable Beeper

These bench scales have a beeper that will signal when weights meet certain criteria in checkweighing mode. This beep will also sound when a button is pressed on the scale's keypad. The best thing about this beeper? You can program the beep volume, or turn it off altogether, you can even set how the beeper will respond to weights.

Programmable Backlight

You can even program the Defender's backlit display. If ya work in dim environments, you can set the backlight to always on, or to turn on when ya press a button or change the weight on the scale. If ya don't really need a backlight, just set it to off. No unnecessary power use here.

Programmable Auto Off

If you've ever had your scale turn off on ya in the middle of important measurements, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. You can program the Defender bench scales to turn off automatically, or to stay on until you turn them off yourself.

Programmable Auto Printing Feature

This industrial scale will automatically print your data for you! Just tell the Defender to continuously send data to the printer, to send it at user selectable intervals, when the balance is stable, or to only send it when ya press the print key. That's pretty handy if ya ask me.

Average Piece Weight

Before ya start counting your pieces, ya need to let the scale know how much each piece weighs. Ohaus made this simple by averaging the weight of the pieces ya put on the scale. Just type in how many pieces ya put on the scale, and the Defender will average the weights. The bigger your sample is, the more accurate the scale will be when counting your pieces. The sample amount will even be stored on the scale for future use.

Does This Thing Count?

You bet it does! All ya need to do is weigh a sample amount of pieces, so the scale can know how much each piece weighs, then start counting. You'll be finished in no time.

RS-232 Serial Port

The Defender 5000 Series has an RS232 port built right in. This is important is you're wanting to send your data to a printer for recording weight readings and other data.

Dynamic Weighing

This durable shipping scale has a really cool dynamic weighing feature. This feature allows you to accurately weigh unstable items, or weigh stable items in an unstable environment.

Checkweighing

Make sure ya get your weights just right with these Defender Low Profile Scales. When ya weigh in this mode, you can set weight limits for the stuff you're weighing. If your sample weight is too low, too high, or just right...the Defender will sure let ya know.

Percent Weighing

This feature will let ya compare the weights of your samples against a predetermined reference weight. This can come in helpful in weight checking, compounding, formulating and more.

Tare & Pre-Tare Feature

The tare button on this digital bench scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight that is on the scale. You can then add more weight and the scale will only display the weights of the items you're adding...this sure is useful. You can also save tare values for future use with frequently used containers.

Stainless Steel Platform

This compact bench scale has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.

Easy To Clean, Sealed Keypad

You won't have to worry about dust and dirt getting stuck under and around the buttons on these bench scales...These industrial scales have an easy to clean membrane keypad with accurately labeled keys for easy weighing.

Liquid Level Indicator

This very handy feature helps you quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. All ya have to do is adjust the feet on the bottom of the scale until the spirit bubble is centered within the level indicator. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings.
