This analytical balance weighs to 0.001g (1mg) and comes in three capacities: 200g (FA2003S), 300g (FA3003S) and 500g (FA5003S). It has a backlit LCD, a glass draft shield, a stainless steel weighing pan and counting, unit conversion and weighing modes, so it suits bench weighing of samples, reagents, ingredients and small parts.
Features and benefits:
- 0.001g resolution with ±0.002g repeatability and ±0.002g linearity error: fine enough for small sample and reagent weighing
- Stable reading in 3 seconds or less: keeps repeat weighing moving at the bench
- Large backlit LCD with a second display on the rear: readable from the front or the back of the bench
- Glass draft shield with top and side sliding doors: cuts air movement around the pan and gives access from two directions
- Counting, unit conversion and weighing modes, plus tare: one balance for weighing, parts counting and unit changes
- Level bubble and adjustable feet: set the balance level before use
- Mains adapter for AC110V to 240V or 4 x 1.5V dry batteries: can run on batteries when mains is not at hand
- Standard RS232 interface for printers, computers and other equipment
Applications:
- School and college laboratory weighing
- Workshop and quality checks on small parts and materials
- Food, cosmetics and brewing ingredient weighing
- Preparing samples and solutions in the laboratory
Note: The mains plug is not UK type on every option, so pick the UK plug option when ordering. Setting up the scale uses an external reference weight, so keep a suitable one to hand. Place the balance on a firm, level bench away from draughts and vibration, and keep within the maximum capacity of your model.

Q: What is an analytical balance? A: An analytical balance is a laboratory scale that weighs in very small steps, here 0.001g (1mg), and uses a draft shield to keep air movement from disturbing the reading. This one covers 200g, 300g or 500g depending on the model.. Q: How does an analytical balance work? A: The sample on the pan is measured by a force sensor, and the result is shown on the display as a weight. The glass windscreen blocks draughts, and the tare key zeroes the display so you can weigh contents inside a container.. Q: How do I use this analytical balance? A: Level it using the bubble indicator and feet, switch it on and wait for the zero mark. Place a container on the pan, press TARE, add the sample with the doors closed and read the display once the stability indicator shows.. Q: How do I set up the scale with a reference weight? A: It uses an external reference weight, which is placed on the pan using the TARE/CAL key routine. The weight value needed depends on the model, so check the manual for the exact steps.. Q: Which capacity should I choose? A: Pick the model whose maximum capacity sits above your heaviest load: 200g for FA2003S, 300g for FA3003S or 500g for FA5003S. All three read to 0.001g.. Q: Can it count parts as well as weigh? A: Yes, it has a counting mode (PCS key) alongside weighing and unit conversion..
