The benchtop scale is a very precise measuring device for determining weights due to the resolution of 1 g and an accuracy of ± 0.1% of measuring range. The display units available on the parcel scale are lb / oz, kg / g, kg, g, lb, oz. The illuminated LC display of the parcel scale is sized in such a way that the measured value can be read easily even in very bright ambient conditions. In addition, the display of the parcel scale can be removed and can be positioned freely because of the spiral cable.

With the piece counting function, the benchtop scale can determine the number of objects, such as screws. For this purpose, a reference measurement is first carried out on the parcel scale. The piece counting function is then started by pressing a button. As an extension of the piece counting function, the weighing surface of the parcel scale can be opened to the side. In this way, for example, stacked envelopes or similar can be weighed with the parcel scale without them falling off the weighing surface.

The benchtop scale is supplied with power via a 6 V DC mains power adapter. In addition, the parcel scale can be operated with three 1.5 V batteries. This means that the parcel scale can be used both stationary and mobile. The automatic switch-off ensures that the parcel scale switches itself off within 5 minutes of inactivity. PCE Instruments optionally offers an ISO calibration certificate for the parcel scale.
