A&D EK-1200i Everest Compact Balance, 1200 g x 0.1 g, NTEP Legal for Trade Jewelry & Gold Scale

Description

A&D EK-1200i Everest Compact Balance: 1200 g × 0.1 g, NTEP Legal for Trade

The A&D Weighing EK-1200i is a compact, NTEP-approved balance from the Everest EK-i series. It weighs up to 1200 g in 0.1 g steps and is NTEP Class II approved (CC 04-019, e = 0.1 g), so you can use it to buy and sell by weight. That’s why jewelers, gold buyers, pawn shops, and coin dealers have relied on it for years.

The EK-1200i is built for the counter. It has a low-profile metal housing, a 133 × 170 mm stainless steel pan, a sealed key panel that keeps out dust and spills, and a large 16 mm backlit LCD that’s easy to read from any angle. Nine weighing units, parts counting with ACAI, percent weighing, and a HI/OK/LO comparator are built in, and the standard RS-232C port connects it to a printer or PC. Add the optional rechargeable battery pack (not included) and you can take it anywhere.

Applications

Jewelry, Gold Buying, and Pawn Shops

Buy and sell gold and silver by the pennyweight (dwt) or troy ounce (ozt), and weigh stones in carats. The 1200 g capacity handles chains, bracelets, flatware, and full lots of scrap, and NTEP approval means you can use it for trade.

Coins and Bullion

Check coins and bars in troy ounces or grams, and use the comparator to flag pieces that are over or under a target weight.

Retail, Shipping, and Small-Parts Counting

Count small parts with 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 sample pieces, and ACAI improves accuracy as you add pieces. It’s also handy for weighing letters and small packages in ounces or grams.

Labs, Schools, Pharmacy Checks, and General Testing

Classrooms, QC benches, and pharmacies use the EK-1200i for general weighing, ingredient checks, and testing where 0.1 g is enough. GLP output records the balance ID and serial number with each result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the A&D EK-1200i legal for trade?

Yes. The EK-1200i is NTEP Class II approved under Certificate of Conformance 04-019, with e = 0.1 g. Your state may also require it to be registered and inspected before you use it for trade. Parts counting is for internal use and isn’t legal for trade.

Is the EK-1200i a good gold scale?

Yes. It reads pennyweight to 0.1 dwt and troy ounces to 0.005 ozt, and its NTEP approval lets you buy and sell gold by weight. The 1200 g capacity covers large lots.

Does the EK-1200i run on batteries?

Yes, with the optional EKW-09i rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack (not included). It gives about 9 hours of use with the backlight off and takes about 15 hours to charge fully. The AC adapter is included.

What calibration weight does the EK-1200i use?

The factory setting is a 1200 g mass, and A&D’s full digital calibration lets you set a different mass value. A weight is not included, so we recommend adding our calibration service before it ships.

Can MNM Scales calibrate the EK-1200i before it ships?

Yes. Choose in-house calibration with a certificate, using NIST-tested weights, for $95, or NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate for $395. Both are done in-house before your balance ships.

EK-1200i vs. EK-600i: which should I choose?

Both read 0.1 g and are NTEP approved. Choose the EK-600i if your items stay under 600 g, or the EK-1200i for heavier lots and larger pieces.
