DESCRIPTION

Features

Impact shock detection (ISD) providing feedback to prevent damage to the weight sensor^*1

Electronically controlled load (ECL) that enables precision management without using an external weight^*1

Flow rate display (FRD) that makes calculating and recording flow rates easier and more accurate^*2

IP65 dust and waterproof (GX-AWP/GF-AWP)

Smart super hybrid sensor (Smart SHS) that realizes fast stabilization, long-term durability and low cost of ownership

Shock logging function that records up to 50 adverse impact loads with a timestamp for later inspection

Cushioning under the weighing pan to mitigate impact shocks significantly

Protection against vertical and transverse static overloading

Flow rate comparator that indicates whether the flow rate is within the designated limits

Tare memory function that saves the tare value in non-volatile memory

Built-in fanless ionizer with Quick Ion^® technology and external IR switch (GX-AE)

Large and detachable, antistatic glass breeze break (0.0001 g models)

Retractable doors that fold into the back, requiring no extra space at the rear

Automatic self calibration in response to temperature changes or according to set schedules (GX-AE/GX-A/GX-AWP)

Automatic minimum weight calculation with either ECL or an actual, external weight

Alert function to ensure that the measured quantity is not smaller than the set minimum weight

Selectable response characteristics for trading faster weighing speed for higher display stability or vice versa

Large, front-mounted spirit level with LED illumination

Easy-to-adjust leveling feet with thumbwheels

User access control (UAC) that password-protects the balance from misuse

GLP/GMP/GCP/ISO compliant output to meet documentation requirements

Universal Flexi Coms (UFC) to customize printout content and layout^*3

Gross/Net/Tare output

Data memory function to save weighing results, calibration results and unit masses to be used in counting mode in the device itself

Counting mode with the Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement (ACAI) function

Percent mode function for target weighing or checking sample variation

Animal weighing (average & hold) function for weighing moving objects

Statistical calculation function (SCF) to facilitate the analysis of measurements

Five-level comparator function with buzzer

Auto power ON and OFF functions

Density determination function (optional density determination kits available for the 0.0001/0.001 g models)

Underhook for weighing a magnetic material as well as measuring density
