Ingenious DRAFTSHIELD
Explorer's draftshield provides ample access and visibility to the weighing chamber and features antistatic coated glass.
- Frameless, flip-top design provides unobstructed access to the weighing chamber
- The expansive side entry 6.3 x 9.4 in (160mm x 240mm) allows you to freely place and remove large weigh boats or other large vessels in the weighing chamber
- Antistatic coated glass helps dissipate static charges in the weighing chamber that could adversely affect the weighing results
- Side doors seamlessly glide on top-mounted bearings, helping to prevent any potential bind up when balance is left uncleaned
- Easy to install and remove glass panels and a stainless steel bottom make Explorer extremely easy to clean
- A draftshield chamber light is available when the balance is used in low-lighting environments
Practical TOUCHLESS SENSORS
Explorer features four touchless sensors for hands-free operation of print, calibration, tare, and other selectable functions.
- Hands-free operation
- Improves weighing efficiency
- Eliminates sample residue transfer
- Minimizes contamination
- Two sensors on the base and two on the display can be set up individually to allow for remote operations
Intelligent Calibration
AutoCal™ ensures performance and assists with routine maintenance by automatically calibrating the balance daily.
- Fully-automatic internal calibration system
- No need for external masses
- Eliminates cost to maintain external weights
- Self-calibrates the system when it senses a temperature change sufficient enough to affect weighing accuracy, or every 11 hours
Intuitive User Setup
Explorer is the industry's most easy-to-use balance, featuring leveling assistance and instructional messaging for quick out-of-the-box setup and use.
- Easy to view illuminated level indicator placed at the front of the balance
- Adjustable thumbwheels are easy to turn to level the balance
- Level assist screen helps users to quickly identify which thumbwheels need to be adjusted to level the balance
- Data Transfer Function helps to output data directly into Microsoft Excel
- Instructional messaging during applications use guides users through the weighing process
- User information menu allows users to quickly view and learn more about the available balances features
- Up to 11 operating languages make Explorer's Intuitive User Setup truly universal
