Kern PBS Multi-functional Laboratory Balance

What is the Kern PBS Multi-functional Laboratory Balance?

The PBS is a high accuracy balance with multiple weighing modes. It uses shock proof, single cell technology, and provides a short stablisation time, high corner load performance and vibration free weighing, with vibrations automatically filtered to ensure a stable reading. Metal housing ensures the PBS withstands regular, daily use.

Additionally, the PBS has an RS-232 interface for connectivity to PCs and compatible Kern printers, and date and time stamped weighing results for GLP compliance.

A draft shield is provided with selected models – please contact us for more details. A protective in use cover is provided with all models.

What are the weighing functions of the PBS?

The PBS makes weighing easier and more accurate with several weighing functions available:

- Percentage weighing: the balance will display the deviation from the reference weight in the form of a percentage.

- Weighing within tolerance range: A checkweighing function, allowing you to enter high and low limits, with a visual signal highlighting whether the weight on the balance is over, under or within tolerance. This helps with portioning, dispensing or grading.

- Dosage aid: High-stability mode and other filter settings can be selected.

- Piece counting: Count multiple identical small items instantly.

- Suspended weighing: Items can be weighed using a hook on the underside of the balance.

- Recipe weighing/memory: Calculates the weight of a container and ingredients.

- Weight totalising: Multiple weight readings can be totalised on the balance.
