OHAUS CX1201 Compass CX Portable Balance, 1200g Capacity, 0.1g Readability, 1000hr Battery Life

OHAUS CX1201 Portable Balance — 1200 g Capacity with 1000-Hour Energy Efficiency

Remarkable battery endurance defines the OHAUS CX1201 Portable Balance. Running over 1,000 continuous hours on three standard AA batteries, this 1,200 g capacity instrument keeps pace with long-duration projects in labs, classrooms, and industrial settings without constant battery swaps.

Key Features

• 1001-Hour Battery Life: Exceptional energy efficiency means the CX1201 outlasts most tasks before a battery change is needed — a major advantage in remote or high-throughput environments.
• Backlit LCD Display: The white-backlit screen ensures clear readability in dim workspaces without straining the power budget.
• Stainless Steel Weighing Pan: Corrosion-resistant pan surface withstands chemical exposure and cleans easily between samples.
• Display Hold Function: Captures and freezes readings for recording, convenient when the user steps away from the balance momentarily.
• Slim Stackable Profile: Minimal height and uniform footprint allow multiple units to stack for organized storage or shared transport.
• Low Battery Indicator: Alerts the user before power drops, preventing interrupted measurements at critical moments.
• Dual Power Input: Accepts AA batteries (included) or an AC adapter (not included), giving flexibility for bench-top or field use.

Detailed Overview

The CX1201 raises the bar for what a portable balance can deliver in terms of continuous uptime. Its ABS housing is lightweight yet sturdy, and the transportation lock secures the mechanism during movement between sites. Two-button operation keeps the learning curve minimal — an asset for shared instruments in educational or multi-user lab settings. Slip-resistant feet hold the balance steady on smooth benchtops, while mechanical and software overload protection prevent damage when samples push the limits. The CX1201 measures in grams, ounces, pounds, and newtons, covering a variety of scientific and commercial measurement needs. Auto shut-off further extends battery cycles when the balance is left unattended.

Applications

• Multi-day field studies where battery replacement opportunities are limited
• Industrial and production-floor sampling requiring reliable mid-range capacity
• General laboratory weighing in education and research environments
• Household or small-business food and material measurement tasks
