Adam Equipment AE 503 Label-Printing Indicator, RS-232, USB, Rechargeable Battery

Adam Equipment AE 503 Label-Printing Indicator with Integrated Printer, RS-232, and USB

The Adam Equipment AE 503 is a full-featured label-printing weight indicator combining a rugged ABS housing with an integrated thermal label printer. It supports barcodes, QR codes, custom logos, and multilingual text on 50mm-wide labels, making it suited to operations that need printed records produced directly at the point of weighing. A sealed, color-coded keypad and a large backlit LCD with 1.3 inch (34mm) high digits provide clear, efficient operation in challenging industrial environments.

Key Features

• Integrated label printer outputs barcodes, QR codes, images, and custom logos on 50mm-wide labels in multiple languages
• Backlit LCD with 1.3 in / 34mm high digits ensures clear visibility in any ambient lighting condition
• Programmable backlight configurable to always on, always off, or active only during active weighing
• Color-coded sealed keypad speeds operator access to frequently used functions and resists dust and splash ingress
• RS-232 and USB interfaces for fast data transfer to computers and external printers
• Internal rechargeable battery supports operation away from a mains power outlet
• Multiple weighing modes: parts counting, percentage weighing, checkweighing, dynamic weighing, averaging, and accumulation

Detailed Overview

The AE 503 uses external calibration, allowing verification and adjustment using certified reference weights. Its selectable capacity and readability settings accommodate a range of connected platform scales, providing flexibility across diverse weighing tasks without needing a different indicator for each scale. During checkweighing operation, the display provides clear over, under, or within-limit feedback to help operators confirm whether items meet the target weight specification. A capacity tracker prevents accidental platform overloads from damaging the connected scale.

Power options include a 12VDC 3A mains adapter for fixed workstation use or the internal rechargeable battery for portable weighing applications. The operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C covers the great majority of industrial, commercial, and food production environments. Both RS-232 and USB ports are available for data output, offering broad compatibility with data logging systems, computers, and label printers in any facility configuration.

Applications

• Shipping and dispatch label printing directly at the weighing station
• Parts counting in manufacturing and electronic assembly operations
• Checkweighing on production lines with printed pass or fail records
• Dynamic and animal weighing in veterinary or agricultural settings
• Percentage weighing for batch formulation and mixing processes
• Food production labeling with weight, date, and traceability data output

Why Choose the Adam Equipment AE 503?

The AE 503 consolidates a weight indicator and a thermal label printer into a single ABS housing, removing the need for a separate printer and the additional cabling it requires. Its rechargeable battery adds operational flexibility for weighing tasks located away from fixed power points, while the broad selection of weighing modes means a single indicator can serve multiple roles across a facility. Built for an operating range of 0°C to 40°C with a rugged sealed keypad, the AE 503 delivers consistent daily performance in demanding production and logistics environments.
