OHAUS CX2200 Compass CX Portable Balance, 2200g Capacity, 1g Readability, 1000hr Battery Life

OHAUS CX2200 Portable Balance — 2.2 kg Capacity Engineered for Sustained Field Use

Heavier loads demand a balance that keeps up. The OHAUS CX2200 Portable Balance handles samples up to 2,200 g with 1 g resolution while maintaining the same remarkable 1,000-hour-plus battery endurance that defines the Compass CX series — making it the practical choice for industrial, agricultural, and educational applications involving larger quantities.

Key Features

• 2200 g Maximum Capacity: Accommodates bulkier samples and multi-component loads that would exceed lighter-duty portable balances.
• 1.5-Second Stabilization: Slightly faster settle time compared to lower-capacity CX models, keeping pace with higher-throughput sampling tasks.
• Over 1000-Hour Battery Life: Extended runtime on three AA cells minimizes interruptions during long field campaigns or continuous production monitoring.
• Stainless Steel Pan Surface: Resists corrosion and surface damage from chemical-laden or abrasive materials, ensuring pan longevity.
• White-Backlit LCD: Readable in variable lighting — from dim storage rooms to bright outdoor settings — without draining battery reserves excessively.
• Two-Button Interface: Simplified controls allow quick training and reliable operation across diverse user groups with minimal instruction.
• Overload and Underload Protection: Dual-mode protection (mechanical and software) shields the mechanism from damage during accidental overloads.

Detailed Overview

The CX2200 occupies a practical middle ground between compact personal scales and full-featured laboratory balances. Its stainless steel pan and ABS housing handle the rigors of industrial and field environments, while the transportation lock ensures the sensing mechanism survives repeated moves. Display Hold function captures readings for manual logging without requiring the operator to remain at the balance. The auto shut-off feature activates after inactivity, stretching battery life even further on job sites where the balance may sit idle between samples. Multiple units can be stacked for storage efficiency when the CX2200 is deployed alongside other instruments in shared facilities.

Applications

• Agricultural and environmental field sampling involving bulk soil or plant material
• Industrial quality control checks for components and raw materials up to 2.2 kg
• Classroom demonstrations and student exercises with heavier volumetric samples
• Small-scale production and blending operations requiring portable gram-level measurement

Why Choose the OHAUS CX2200?

Teams weighing quantities beyond typical sub-kilogram limits — without wanting the complexity of a full bench balance — will find the CX2200 a well-matched solution. The combination of 2,200 g capacity, fast stabilization, and extraordinary battery life addresses real operational demands. Add to cart to equip your lab or field team with a dependable high-capacity portable balance.
