All
ACB Plus Scales come with a protective shipping pin that protects
the load cell from shock during transit. Remove the shipping protection
pin from the bottom of the scale. Retain this part so that if the
scale is ever transported it can be inserted to protect the load cell
from both horizontal and vertical shock during transit. This
a great feature that substantially lessen the chance of the scale being
damaged with rough handling by any freight carrier where our motto is
- "fragile means football". Whether you ship UPS, FedEx
or the Post Service seldom does the word"fragile" mean anything.
The
new ACBplus has a lot of new features such as a large and very stable
ABS plastic case in a modern attractive design, capacity tracker and a
low battery indicator. The tactile feedback keypad is clearly marked,
color coded for easy operation. A spirit bubble indicator is located
in the left hand corner to assist in leveling the scale and the 4 adjustable
feet makes this a cinch. The capacity tracker (also known as a fill
guide) is positioned below the number displayed and allows you to always
keep track of the available weighing range right up to the limit.
All ACBplus
Series come standard with an 110V AC adapter to operator off a wall power
receptacle. The ACBplus scales also have an internal rechargeable
battery making them totally portable. The typical battery life is
approximately 70 hours depending on the usage of the backlight.
The battery is hard wired and can not be switched out with a second battery
in the field.
RS-232
interface comes as standard for printing of results using the optional
Adam thermal printer or connection to a PC using an aftermarket data collection
program enabling the balances to be integrated into an ISO/GLP quality
system. In the future (July 2004) the RS-232 can be replaced with
a USB port for an additional $75. Only 1 data port will be available
- either the RS-232 or the optional USB.
The
new ACBplus is designed with 4 adjustable feet letting you level the scale
quick & easy. The scale housing is constructed of ABS plastic
and features a security bracket at the rear of the scale for lock down
applications for classroom applications.
All ACBplus
models come standard with a plastic draft shield for precision weighing.
The top of the draft shield can be lifted off for easy access to the weighing
platform. This draft shield provides peak performance by limiting
air current movements.
3 Selectable
backlight modes
Auto
backlight mode - When the weight is over 10 scale divisions or any
of the keys are pressed, the backlight will be turned ON. When
the display shows zero for about 8 seconds, the backlight will go
OFF automatically.
Backlight
will always be ON
Backlight
feature disabled and will always be turned OFF.
To
ensure consistent accuracy and tip-top performance the ACBplus 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. Most scales on the market today including the ACBplus
Series 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 and calibrate the scale.
If there
are ever any other problems with the scale other than calibration then
it really can only be serviced by the manufacturer, Adam Equipment in
Danbury, CT, 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 Adam
Equipment products are backed with a 12 month manufacturer's warranty
for parts and labor under normal use.
The ACB
offers a unique feature enabling you to customize the calibration
weight anywhere over the scale's weighing range. Most balances
offer only the choice of one calibration weight while other models might
let the operator choose one of 3 pre-selected values. The ACB
gives you the freedom to select any value to calibrate the scale, although
we always recommend calibration a scale at 2/3 to full capacity.
By accessing the function menu you can custom configure the set-up parameters.
