This is a like new balance that was returned to Acculab and determined perfectly fine and within the manufacturer tolerance. One crazy customer return yields one crazy buy. We purchased this unit directly from Acculab and it is backed with a 6 month limited manufacturer warranty. Sure a new Acculab ALC comes with a 2 year warranty, but like we tell everyone if you have a problem with a balance it typically will be out of the box due to rough shipping and overall balances don't break people break balances. All that said since this is a awesome deal and you need to jump fast since supplies are limited.
Oh, did we say prices will be increasing come the first of the year on all Acculab ALC's,
and the MSRP on the ALC3100.2 will go up to $1055.00. Don't wait! Buy this used balance at this
special price while you still can.
Acculab ALC Precision
Lab Balances are the best balances on the market today in our opinion since
nothing compares when you look at "what you get"
for "what you pay". This precision
toploading balance (3100g x 0.01g) with a large 6 inch diameter stainless steel
weighing pan is priced aggressive to devour the market share of the
other balance manufacturers. This balance's weighcell is a Double Lever
System (DLS), Electromagnetic Force Compensation for the best weighing performance
technology offers. In our opinion, this weighcell is the best design on
the market today.
This patented weigh cell is cut from a single block of a special, highly rugged
aluminum alloy using high-speed 21st century milling technology. The double
lever principle offers two decisive advantages: the design in the area of the
pan linkage is highly resistant to mechanical stress and therefore has exceptionally
high mechanical stability, and the system allows for a smaller footprint.
Cut from a single block of aluminum there are no screw fasteners needed between
functional parts. This keeps the system less sensitive to fluctuations in
temperature, and with fewer parts there is less chance of failure.
DLS offers unbeatable advantages for daily use like incredibly fast response time
and unfailing reliability and near-zero susceptibility to interference.
The reasons for these considerable advantages are two fold: the number of individual
parts has been reduced by more than 70% and the mechanical construction has been
designed to last for years of trouble-free operations.
Designed for use in laboratory, industrial or educational applications and a snap
to operate. Convenient, fast and ready to use the moment you plug the balance
in the receptacle wall. Easy to use five button operation includes a simple
and concise user manual that takes minutes to reads verses competitive brands
that offers user manuals that are more like encyclopedias. You purchase
a balance to perform a task and the simpler the manual is written the more efficient
and effective the balance will be to your company.

Weigh the Quality in the ALC Acculab precision Balance Today and you'll never
look at another brand again.

manual data entries and increase your efficiency by providing fast

All Acculab ALC Balances come standard with RS-232 interface and
can be purchased with our optional USB
kit.
To
ensure consistent accuracy and tip-top performance the ALC balances
can be easily calibrated using the auto calibration function through
the keypad. Auto Calibration requires that you have the calibration
mass. These masses are optional accessories
and we ALWAYS recommend that you purchase the calibration
mass so that you never need a scale company to service your
scale and charge you some outrageous price.
Acculab ALC Balance are designed uses either a Monolithic
Double Lever System or High Precision Strain Gauge Loadcells
(depending on model) so there are very few parts here. The
electronics incorporate custom designed integrated circuits resulting
in really nothing a local scale company can do to service a scale.
Basically, all they can do is come out with a bottle of Windex or
Fantastik and clean the exterior body of the scale, the interior
glass draftshield, and calibrate the scale. If there are ever
any other problems with the balance other than calibration then
it really can only be serviced by the manufacturer, Acculab in Arvada,
CO, since the motherboard consist of VLSI(very large scale integrated
circuits) and we know of very few scale service companies with a
digital logic analyzer, or the proper tools to remove and replace
surface mount fine pitch components. Typically the time to
resolve a board problem is best solved by just replacing the whole
board and we feel the manufacturer is best to make this decision.
All Acculab ALC Balances are made in the USA and backed with a 24
month manufacturer's warranty for parts and labor under normal use.
It looks like advances in weighing technology and the advent of
the internet as a distribution channel has made the local scale
company obsolete.
