OHAUS SPX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance, 1,200 g Capacity, 0.01 g Readability

OHAUS SPX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance — 1,200g Capacity with 0.01g Readability and Extended Battery Life

Field measurements and portable laboratory work require a balance that travels well without compromising on resolution. The OHAUS SPX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance delivers 0.01g readability at a 1,200g capacity from a compact, stackable chassis that runs up to 80 hours on standard AA batteries — making it a dependable instrument for mobile weighing tasks in industrial, educational, and field research contexts.

Key Features

• 1,200g Capacity at 0.01g Readability: Suitable for sample weighing, parts counting, and percent-weighing tasks where centigram accuracy is required across a medium capacity range.
• 80-Hour Battery Life: Extended operation on four standard AA batteries reduces downtime and makes the SPX1202 AM practical for multi-day field deployments.
• 140mm × 170mm Stainless Steel Pan: A generously sized weighing surface accommodates containers, bags, and trays that would overwhelm a narrower portable pan.
• Slim, Stackable Design: Space-efficient form factor allows storage of multiple units without a dedicated equipment cabinet.
• Multiple Connectivity Options: RS232, USB Host, USB Device, Ethernet, and Bluetooth available as accessories allow the balance to integrate with a range of data systems.
• 1.5-Second Stabilization Time: Balances measurement confidence with practical throughput for portable and field-based applications.
• Mechanical and Software Overload Protection: Dual-layer protection guards both the balance mechanism and the operator from overload events.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS SPX1202 AM Scout Portable Balance combines centigram precision with the portability features that make Scout models popular in field and on-site environments. The adjustable leveling feet and illuminated front-mounted level indicator simplify setup on uneven surfaces, which is essential when working outside a controlled laboratory. A calibration lock switch provides a physical means of securing calibration settings — useful when the balance is shared between operators or transported between sites. Application modes include totalization, check weighing, and display hold in addition to parts counting and percent weighing, giving operators the tools for diverse field tasks without switching instruments. The AC adapter is included for bench use, and the battery option keeps the balance operational wherever power is unavailable.

Applications

• Field sample collection and on-site weighing in environmental or agricultural research
• Mobile quality control in manufacturing or warehouse settings
• Educational laboratory exercises where portability and durability are priorities
• Industrial parts counting during inventory audits away from fixed benches
