Ohaus Explorer EP4102 precision balance (4100g x 0.01g) can be purchased 3 ways
- the standard Explorer EP4102 which has no internal calibration and is NOT
Legal for Trade; the EP4102N which IS Legal for
Trade with no internal calibration (check the box in the option section for
Legal for Trade. The prefix "N"
designate Legal for Trade); the EP4102CN
which is the EP4102 with motorized internal calibration and IS Legal for Trade
(check the box in the option section for Internal Calibration. The prefix "CN" designate Internal Calibration
& Legal for Trade).
One design issue you should be aware of with the Explorer and Voyager
Series outfitted with internal calibration when the balance is used in
the non-NTEP mode is the inability to disable the use of internal calibration.
The Ohaus line is the only balance we know of that does not allow you to disable
the internal calibration. Where this becomes an issue is most calibration
A2LA Certification Calibration Companies will NOT calibrate a balance unless
the internal calibration can be disengaged. If your balance is going to
require A2LA Certification the Sartorius
CPA4202S Precision Balance may be a better choice.
Another design issue with the Ohaus Explorer 0.01g and 0.1 toploading balances
is the windshield surrounds the platform implemented to deflect air currents
from disturbing the weighing pan. Notice how the windshield wraps around
the weighing pan. Sometimes this causes an obstruction in your weighing
application where the item you are weighing "you think is on the platform"
but actually the sample is touching the windshield, thus providing the incorrect
weighing results. The Sartorius
CPA4202S Precision Balance and the Sartorius
GP5202 doesn't have this windshield design. The Sartorius
GP5202 and offers a larger weigh pan 7.4" x 8.0" since Sartorius
refined their balance so well it needs no windshield.
The EP4102CN is NTEP
Approved (a.k.a. Legal
for Trade) precision balance and we highly
recommend you click the Certificate of Conformance hyperlink below in the balance
specification table to fully understand the Ohaus EP4102CN limitations.
The Ohaus EP4102CN weighing specs are 4100g weighing capacity and increments
in 0.01 gram increments, but in the NTEP / Legal for Trade mode the increment
is only in 0.1 gram graduations.
Ohaus Explorer Pro Balances are available in both analytical and precision configurations,
in a variety of capacities. The Explorer Pro line of precision balances
offers capacities ranging from 210 x 0.001 grams to 32,000
x 0.1 grams. The analytical balances line offers
capacities of 62, 110 and 210 grams and you can review them all at the bottom
of this web page.
Before purchasing the Ohaus Explorer with 0.01 gram resolution,
check out Sartorius GP5202 precision balance.
We feel the GP5202 precision toploader from Sartorius is CLEARLY the
best value Precision Weighing Balances has to offer and we have them in stock
for immediate delivery.
GP5202 toploading balance offers a maximum weighing capacity of 5200 grams and readability to 0.01 gram
intervals. This precision balance features a backlit LCD display, HUGE 7.4" x 8.0" weighing platform
[Ohaus EP4102 is 6.8" x 6.8"], RS232 interface, parts counting mode, and external calibration all for
an unbelievably low price. Sartorius GP5202 balances are in stock and ready for immediate delivery.
Another similar model you should review is the Sartorius ED6202 precision balance.
This balance is very similar to the GP5202 except it has a higher weighing capacity of 6200 grams. ED6202 balances have a deep discount price
and feature parts counting function and RS232 interface. ED6202 precision toploaders are in stock and ready for shipment.

Application
Modes
Percent
Weighing:
allows you to place a reference load on the pan, and check other samples
as a percent of the reference load. Each new sample will be
a "percentage" of the original reference, the display shows
the variance in – or + percent of the reference.
Gross/Net/Tare:
is an application mode commonly used when you need to identify the
individual weights of the container, the material and both together.
The container weight is the Tare weight, the material is called the
Net weight and the container and material together are called the
Gross weight. The Net weight is displayed on the readout.
Weighing:
Basic weighing with primary and secondary weighing units, time, date
and capacity bar.
Dynamic
/ Animal Weighing:
Dynamic weighing allows the user to weigh unstable matter that may
be moving. This mode can be set to manual, semi-automatic, or automatic;
the displayed data includes filtered weight and unfiltered weight.
Displayed data also includes filter level, capacity bar graph and
operation mode (manual, semi or auto).
Parts
Counting:
Enhanced parts counting features include auto sample optimization,
user definable sample size and manual entry using scroll keys.
The "Parts Counting Check" feature allows for quickly checking
a sample of pieces against a preset criteria, with results displayed
as the number of pieces. The "Parts Counting Fill"
feature allows for quickly checking a sample of pieces against an
established criteria, with results displayed as a percentage of the
preset target.
Filling:
Filling permits the user to preset a target reference weight, then
add material to the balance to meet the target weight. The display
shows the preset target weight and the percentage of the target by
monitoring the differential data, the fill bar is split in two sections
for fast filling up to 90%, then slower accurate fill to reach target
(100%) weight.
Checkweighing:
is used when items need to be checked against a preset target, after
the target weight is set, and over/under parameters are established.
Checkweighing is measured as a factor of over the target, under the
target, or accept. The display automatically shows the difference
in percent and weight.

Leading Quality and Support
All Ohaus Explorer® Pro balances are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2000
Registered Quality Management System. Our rugged construction and stringent
quality control have been hallmarks of all Ohaus products for nearly a
century.
Four
methods of density determinations can be made with the Voyager Pro balance.
The
Four Methods of Density Determination:
Solids
more dense than water
Solids
less dense than water
Liquid
density
Porous
material (impregnated with oil).
An
accessory density determination kit is designed to be used with Ohaus Explorer
Pro balances. A built-in reference density table for water at temperatures
between 10°C and 30°C is included in the balance software.
When making density measurements, the material should weigh at least 10.0
mg on an analytical balance and 100 mg on a precision balance.
