Adam Equipment Highland HCB302 portable digital scale is truly a unique digital scale rattling the scales industry and having other scale manufacturers running. Highland offers so many features, value at an affordable price. Adam's HCB302 offers 300 grams weighing capacity with readability to 0.01 gram. What makes the Adam Highland so unique is the scale comes with both the RS-232 and USB interface as standard equipment. Competitor scale manufacturer's gouge you by making you purchase their optional RS-232 or USB module for $92 or more for models like the Ohaus Scout, A&D EJ Series and Sartorius AY scales. You have to pick either RS-232 or USB with the competition but with Highland you get BOTH RS-232 and USB interfaces. To make things better the HCB302 comes with both the RS-232 and USB cable. One thing the HCB doesn't come with is the data communication software but you can buy AdamDU data collection software or WinWedge balance communication software.
Adam HCB302 also has HandiCal™ - mechanical internal calibration with built in
mass can be locked so only you calibrate the
scale when you want to. The built in weight
allows for quick and easy calibrations allowing
you more time for weighing tasks. HandiCal™ internal calibration weight provides
reliable readings time after time.
Adam Equipment’s Highland digital scales have what it takes for basic lab work, field use and various industrial applications. They feature multiple weighing units, RS-232 and USB interfaces, rechargeable battery pack and AC operation, capacity
tracker, adjustable feet and level, lock down and more. Density and specific
gravity determination are easy with the below balance weighing feature, and
the removable draft shield eliminates wind disturbances outdoors or in drafty
environments. ShockProtect™ overload protection keeps the performance of the
Highland safe and secure, and the Three-point ShockProtect™ can with stand up to 200kg of weight without
