A&D FZ-500i (FZ500i) Precision Balance, 520 g x 0.001 g, Internal Calibration, Breeze Break

Description

A&D FZ-500i Precision Balance: 520 g × 0.001 g with Internal Calibration

The A&D Weighing FZ-500i (FZ500i) is the highest-capacity milligram model in A&D’s FZ-i series. It weighs up to 520 g in 0.001 g steps and settles in about one second with A&D’s Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS). A built-in calibration weight lets you calibrate at the push of a key, so you don’t need to buy or store a separate weight.

A breeze break comes standard to block drafts, and the bright VFD display is easy to read. RS-232C is standard; add Quick USB, Ethernet, or a rechargeable battery if you need them.

Applications

Laboratories and Pharmacy Compounding

Weigh reagents, powders, and doses to 1 mg in containers up to 520 g, with internal calibration that keeps the balance accurate as the room temperature changes.

Formulation and Quality Control

Check parts, coatings, and samples with the comparator and statistics functions, and send results to a PC or printer.

Jewelry and Gems

Weigh gemstones, findings, and jewelry in carats, pennyweight, and troy ounces. The balance is not NTEP approved; for buying or selling precious metals by weight, choose an NTEP Class II balance such as the A&D FX-300iN.

Parts Counting

Count tiny parts accurately with Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement.
