Product information "Kern EWJ 6000-1M precision balance 6,000 g / 0.1 g"

The Kern EWJ is a precision balance with strain gauges, internal automatic adjustment and a load cell protected against dust and splash water (IP65). Nine models weigh from 300 g to 6,000 g and read to 0.001 g, 0.01 g or 0.1 g. Four of these (EWJ 600-2M, EWJ 600-1M, EWJ 6000-1M, EWJ 6000-1SM) have a verification value and can optionally be ordered with a conformity assessment under the NAWI Directive (2014/31/EU). The other five are designed without a verification value.

Automatic adjustment and protected load cell

The balance adjusts itself every 2 h, time-controlled, with an internal weight. According to Kern, this makes the location independent of changes in the room. The aluminium load cell is silicone-coated and has an IP65 rating. According to the data sheet, the display has no IP protection, so the balance as a whole is not splash-proof. A bar graph capacity display shows the weighing range that is still free. All main functions have their own button.

Features

When weighing within a tolerance range (checkweighing), a visual and audible signal supports portioning, dosing and sorting. In addition, there are piece counting, percentage determination and the Net-Total function of the formulation and totalling level. For the EWJ 300-3, Kern also lists statistics, formulation and totalling functions. The models without a verification value display kg, g, t and many other units; according to the specifications, the four models with a verification value display only g. The backlit LCD has digits 21 mm high.

Comparison of designs

The EWJ 300-3 and EWJ 300-3H models weigh up to 300 g with a readability of 0.001 g and have a weighing pan with a diameter of 80 mm. The EWJ 300-3 has a small, removable draught shield (weighing chamber 134 x 128 x 80 mm). The EWJ 300-3H has a large glass draught shield with three sliding doors (weighing chamber 155 x 175 x 217 mm) and is 321 mm high. Up to 600 g are covered by the EWJ 600-3 (0.001 g), EWJ 600-2M (0.01 g) and EWJ 600-1M (0.1 g), all with a weighing plate Ø 120 mm and removable draught shield. The EWJ 3000-2 weighs up to 3,000 g at 0.01 g on a plate with a diameter of 135 mm. The three 6-kg models (the EWJ 6000-2 with 0.01 g, and the EWJ 6000-1M and EWJ 6000-1SM with 0.1 g) have a rectangular weighing pan measuring 155 x 145 mm. According to Kern, the EWJ 600-3 and EWJ 6000-2 have a resolution of 600,000 points and a stabilisation time of 6 s; the other models take 2 s.

Special features of individual models

The EWJ 600-1M has a customer display on the rear and a display without auxiliary indicating device (e = d = 0.1 g). Kern describes it as designed for open points of sale and recommends ordering the conformity assessment together with it for applications subject to mandatory verification. According to the data sheet, it operates at 0 °C to 40 °C and has no data interface. The EWJ 6000-1SM comes without a standard data interface; Bluetooth is optionally available ex works. All other models have RS-232 and USB device; here too, Bluetooth (BTC or BLE) is optionally available ex works.

Power and operation

The plug-in mains adaptor operates at 100 V to 240 V and 50 Hz or 60 Hz. An internal rechargeable battery is optional (charging time 6.5 h, operating time 32 h with and 57 h without backlight). In rechargeable battery operation, the balance switches off after 30 s to 60 min; the interval can be selected. The plastic housing has a base area of 220 x 340 mm. The height is 105 mm; for the EWJ 300-3, EWJ 600-2M and EWJ 600-1M models, it is 90 mm. The permissible range is 10 °C to 35 °C and up to 80 % humidity.

Typical applications

  • Jewellery and gold trade: units such as ct, dwt and ozt; customer display on the EWJ 600-1M
  • Quality control: checkweighing with visual and audible signals
  • Laboratory applications and dental laboratories: weighing to 0.001 g with draught shield
  • Plastics technology: piece counting and percentage determination

Conformity assessment and calibration

A conformity assessment under the NAWI Directive (2014/31/EU) is optional for the four models with a verification value (see table for item numbers). It can only be ordered ex works together with the balance; according to Kern, a subsequent conformity assessment is not possible. To place an order, Kern needs the full address of the installation site. A DAkkS calibration certificate can be ordered separately for all models. The confirmation of manufacturer specification (969-517) is only available in conjunction with the DAkkS calibration certificate.
