Adam Equipment AE 504 Label-Printing Indicator, Built-in Printer, Rechargeable Battery, RS-232, USB

Adam Equipment AE 504 Advanced Label-Printing Indicator with Integrated Printer and Rechargeable Battery

The Adam Equipment AE 504 is a fully featured label-printing weight indicator that integrates a built-in 50mm-wide thermal printer, an internal rechargeable battery, and dual RS-232 and USB communication interfaces into a robust ABS plastic housing. Designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications, it enables operators to capture weight data and produce printed labels — including barcodes, QR codes, and custom logos — at a single compact station without separate peripheral devices.

Key Features

• Built-in thermal printer produces labels up to 50mm wide with barcodes, QR codes, images, and custom logos
• Large backlit LCD display with 0.9-inch (22mm) digits for clear visibility across all lighting conditions
• Programmable backlight: configurable as always on, always off, or active only during active weighing
• Color-coded numeric keypad with fast access to over 1,000 PLUs and manual tare, unit weight, and sample size entry
• Internal rechargeable battery supports wireless, cordless operation in areas without mains power access
• RS-232 interface enables connection to computers and external serial label printers
• Sealed keypad and ABS plastic body designed to withstand daily industrial use

Detailed Overview

At its core, the AE 504 is a multi-mode indicator that consolidates weighing, data processing, and label printing into a single unit. The integrated printer eliminates the need for a separate label printer in shipping and receiving stations, inventory management areas, and retail portion control environments. Labels produced by the indicator can carry weight readings, product codes, barcodes, QR codes, logo graphics, and custom text, enabling each label to deliver as much information as the application requires. Access to over 1,000 PLUs via the color-coded keypad makes it practical for high-SKU environments where different items require different label formats or tare presets.

The internal rechargeable battery is a key operational advantage for facilities where mains power is unavailable or inconvenient — loading docks, outdoor weighing areas, vehicle-mounted platforms, and temporary weighing stations all benefit from an indicator that can operate without a fixed power connection. Weighing modes include parts counting, check-weighing, accumulation, and averaging, making the AE 504 suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial measurement tasks beyond simple weight display. Its 2-second stabilisation time supports efficient throughput, and its 0°C to 40°C operating temperature range covers the thermal variation found in real industrial environments.

Applications

• Shipping and receiving stations requiring integrated weight capture and label printing
• Retail and commercial portion control with PLU-based product label generation
• Parts counting and inventory management in warehouse and manufacturing environments
• Check-weighing and accumulation in production quality control lines
• Outdoor and off-grid weighing locations requiring battery-powered operation

Why Choose the Adam Equipment AE 504?

The AE 504 consolidates the functions of a weight indicator, a label printer, and a portable power source into one instrument, reducing equipment complexity and footprint at the weighing station. Its sealed construction and rechargeable battery design make it well suited to real-world industrial conditions where cable management and equipment protection are practical concerns. For any operation that requires both accurate weight measurement and on-demand label production, the AE 504 is a highly capable and operationally efficient choice backed by Adam Equipment's design expertise.
