Description
Highland®: Exceptional Value in Precision Weighing
Adam Equipment’s Highland portable precision balances are built for lab work, field use, education and industry alike. Multiple weighing units, RS-232 and USB interfaces, rechargeable battery and AC operation, a built-in capacity tracker and adjustable levelling feet make them genuinely versatile. A removable draught shield tames wind and drafts, and built-in parts counting, percentage weighing, and accumulation round out a feature set that delivers strong value.
Protected Precision
Accurate readings, protected against the hazards that shorten a balance’s life:
- Three-Point ShockProtect: Guards the internal components against overload damage from sudden loads.
- Removable Draught Shield: 132mm ø x 90mm shield eliminates wind disturbance for stable results outdoors or in drafty rooms.
- Selectable Digital Filtering: Minimises the effect of vibration and environmental disturbance.
- Level Indicator & Adjustable Feet: Ensure correct setup for optimum weighing accuracy.
- Audible Overload Alarm: Warns the moment capacity is exceeded.
Clear Display & Easy Operation
Designed to be read and operated without fuss:
- Vivid Backlit LCD: 18mm digits stay legible in any lighting; backlight can be set to always on, always off, or on only when weighing.
- Capacity Tracker: Built into the display for at-a-glance monitoring of possible overloads.
- Dual Tare Keys: Operate comfortably with either the left or right hand.
- Colour-Coded Keys: Frequently used buttons are quick to recognise.
- Grade 304 Stainless Pan: A 120mm ø platform that wipes down easily.
Applications, Data & Power
More than a simple balance — a complete weighing tool:
- Built-In Applications: Parts counting with preset sample sizes, percentage weighing and memory accumulation / totalisation.
- Density Determination: Below-balance weighing (hook included) makes density and specific gravity work straightforward.
- Connectivity: RS-232 and USB interfaces for fast communication with printers, PCs and the Adam DU data collection program.
- Calibration: External calibration with weights, plus internal manual calibration.
- Go-Anywhere Power: AC adapter and rechargeable battery both included; programmable auto power-off conserves charge.
- Security: Slot for an optional Kensington-type lock and cable to deter theft.
