KERN IOC Industrial Platform Scale

Introduction

Allround platform scale with a wide range of communication options and EC type approval [M] now also available as high-resolution version with fine display

Verification plug, for verified balances this enables you to separate the display device and platform without affecting the verification, e.g. for installing the scale in a packing and dispatch table, pit frame etc. at a later date. Please order this at the same time as you purchase your scale, see accessories

Practical Flip/Flop display device: flexible positioning e.g. free-standing or screwed to the wall (optional). By rotating the upper housing shell you can determine the angle of the display as well as the cable outlet.
Conversion of the display device, Factory Option for an additional cost, delivery time + 2 working days, KERN KIB-M01, see Accessories on the right, please indicate when placing your order

Features

Industry 4.0: A wide range of (optional) data interfaces allows that it is easy to transfer weighing data to tablets, laptops, PCs, networks, Smartphones, printers, etc.
High mobility: thanks to rechargeable battery operation (optional), compact, lightweight construction, it is suitable for the use in several locations (laboratory, production, quality control, commissioning etc.)
Platform: weighing plate stainless steel, painted steel base, silicone-coated aluminium load cell, protection against dust and water splashes IP65
Level indicator and levelling feet for precise levelling of the scale, fitted as standard, to give the most accurate weighing result
Searching and remote control of the balance using external control devices or computers with the KERN Communication Protocol (KCP).
KCP is a standardised interface command structure for KERN balances and other instruments which allows you to recall and manage all relevant parameters and device functions. You can therefore simply connect KERN devices with KCP to computers, industrial control systems and other digital systems. In a large number of cases the KCP is compatible with the MT-SICS protocol.
