This analytical balance weighs to 0.1mg (0.0001g) readability and is offered in six capacities from 100g to 220g, with the FA2004E reaching 200g. It uses an electromagnetic balanced sensor, a white-backlit LCD and a three-door glass draft shield, and it is built for school, laboratory, workshop, food, cosmetics and brewing weighing where small sample masses matter.
Features and benefits:
- 0.1mg resolution with a minimum weighing of 0.0004g - handles small sample and additive weights
- Electromagnetic balanced sensor - the maker describes the measurement data as stable and accurate
- Stable time of 3s or less - short wait before the reading settles
- Repeatability of ±0.0002g and linearity of ±0.0003g - published figures to check against your tolerance
- Large glass draft shield with three doors, a door handle and a slot that limits excessive push and pull - keeps air movement off the pan and makes loading samples easy
- Bubble level and height adjustable anti-skid feet - level the unit accurately on the bench
- Units of g, ct, oz and mg, plus tare over the full range, counting, percentage, density, overload warning and adjustable stability and speed
- RS232C interface as standard, with RS485, USB and printer interfaces listed as options
Applications:
- School and college science practicals
- Laboratory sample preparation and ratio work
- Gold, jewellery and small parts weighing
- Counting small items and checking ingredient batches
- Food, cosmetics and brewing recipe weighing
Note: Choose the model in the options, as the capacity and model code differ between 100g, 110g, 120g, 200g, 210g and 220g. The standard setup method is external, so use a suitable check weight; internal auto setup is an optional extra on the maker's chart. Operating temperature is 5 to 35°C. The plug type is not stated, so use a UK adapter if the plug is not a UK type.

Q: What is an analytical balance? A: An analytical balance is a precision weighing instrument that reads to a fraction of a milligram inside an enclosed draft shield. This model reads to 0.1mg with a 200g capacity on the FA2004E.. Q: How does an analytical balance work? A: This one uses an electromagnetic balanced sensor, where the load on the pan is balanced by a magnetic force and that force is converted to a weight reading on the LCD. The glass doors keep air movement from disturbing the pan.. Q: How do I set up the balance with a check weight? A: Standard setup is external, so you place a suitable check weight on the pan and follow the steps in the manual. Internal auto setup is listed only as an option.. Q: How do I use an analytical balance for small samples? A: Level the unit with the bubble level, close the glass doors, tare the container and add the sample until the reading is stable. The minimum weighing figure is 0.0004g.. Q: Can it count parts or work in percentages? A: Yes, counting and percentage functions are listed, along with density, tare over the full range and adjustable stability and speed..
