The Ohaus CS5000 Compact Scale has a capacity of 5000g and an
accuracy of 1g (also called readability). The removable,
stainless steel weighing platform can handle bulky samples in a
variety of applications, including postal weighing,
soil-sampling, or for home-use dietary needs. The scale can be
operated using AC power or three standard AA batteries, offering
full mobility in the field and when a power supply is hard to
find, for up to 300 hours. When running on batteries, the scale
turns off automatically after approximately four minutes if no
weighing activity is occurring. The scale has an external
calibration system, operated from the front-facing keypad
(calibration masses not included), to ensure accurate
measurements. Protection from radio frequency means that this
scale delivers accurate results when used in production areas or
near cellular phones.
Overload protection prevents damage to the weighing cell and
scale if too-heavy samples are mistakenly used. This scale is
approved for use in compliance with CE-listed and FCC Class B
Part 15 operation guidelines, and manufactured to ISO 9001:2008
standards. When used according to manufacturer’s recommendations,
this product is covered by a one-year warranty against defects in
workmanship or materials.

Scales or balances are measuring instruments used to determine
the mass of an object. Mechanical balances are the simplest type
of balance, and use a lever and slide to indicate the
measurement. Conventional balances are commonly used in offices,
the jewelry industry, and in kitchens, and display results
digitally, but are less precise than analytical balances.
Analytical balances measure to a high degree of precision and
accuracy (0.0001g or better), and display results digitally.
These balances have a cover with doors to prevent dust and
airflow from affecting the measurement. Moisture balances analyze
moisture content in a material sample, using infrared or halogen
heat sources to dry the sample and then calculate the moisture
content from the before- and after-drying weight, and display
results digitally, on the balance, or transfer the information
for display on a computer.
Ohaus manufactures scales and balances for laboratory,
educational, retail, food, and jewelry applications. The company,
which was founded in 1914, is headquartered in Parsippany, NJ.
