The price is so low for the Type Approved EK1200i that the manufacturer prevents us from advertising this Legal for Trade, NTEP Approved, Class II scale for our actual selling price. A&D Weighing has imposed MAP(Minimum Advertised Price) on the EK-1200i and the absolute lowest an Authorized Dealer can post for a price is $319.95. Although MAP policy prevents us from advertising below $319.95 if you simply click the buy icon your purchase price will be much lower and shown when you add the scale to our shopping cart. Remember, the $319.95 is an advertised price, NOT your final price.
The EK-1200i offers 1200 gram weighing capacity and increments in 0.1 gram intervals
providing outstanding performance, professional features with the Quality You
Demand. The EK-1200i Compact Scale comes standard with RS-232C interface
at no additional cost & Legal for Trade. Plus you
can download a free copy of the A&D
WinCt balance communication software. If you're shopping for a new compact
scale, you'll find everything you need with the EKi
Series from A&D Weighing. Light and portable the EKi Series is most
suited for educational, R&D, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
When you're shopping for a legal for trade (LFT) scale compare the value the EK-1200i offers over the competiton.
How long is their factory warranty? The EK-1200i is 5 years!!!
Does that other digital scale you are looking at come with an RS-232? The EK-1200i comes standard with the RS-232 interface and you can download A&D's FREE WinWedge Software that allows you to connect your EK-1200i to a PC.
What is the scale's TRUE readability in Legal for Trade mode? The EK-1200i is 1200g x 0.1g. Caveat Emptor many jewelry scales on the market might read to 0.1 gram, but are LFT only to 1 gram. Other precious metal scales might read to 0.01g, but they are only LFT to 0.1g and offer very little weighing capacity. If the Weights & Measures Inspector know their job you should expect to weigh down to only what your scale has been approved for weighing. If you look at a CofC the inspector will only allow you to weigh to the the tolerances based on “e” not “d”. The EK-1200i offers 1200 grams weighing capacity and the scale is LFT over the entire weighing range by 0.1 grams.
Another factor to consider is how does one locked out the scale and put it into service as a Legal for Trade Scale. The A&D design is very simple and easy. A&D designed the scale with a removable door on the back of the scale that the Weights & Measures Inspector simply puts a wire through and crimps.
Everything sounds great about the EK-1200i but we are honest here at www.balances.com and we have to say we hate that the EK-1200i does not run off of standard batteries, but instead you must buy A&D special NiMH Battery Pack for an additional $140.00. Yep it is crazy in a day when you can go buy 4 - AA NiMH rechargeable batteries at Walmart for under $20 A&D designs their scale so you can only use their $140 NiMH Battery Pack. For those customers where battery power is important we recommend you buy the Mettler Toledo's JL602-G/LA00 (610g x 0.01g) since the Mettler operates on either AC Adapter of four (4) AA batteries. You can buy the Mettler JL602-G/LA00 HERE.
