OHAUS SPX6201 AM Scout Portable Balance, 6,200 g Capacity, 0.1 g Readability

OHAUS SPX6201 AM Scout Portable Balance — 6,200g Capacity in a Battery-Powered Portable Design

High-capacity portable weighing presents a genuine design challenge: delivering accurate, repeatable results at 6.2kg in an instrument light enough to move between sites and powered for extended field use. The OHAUS SPX6201 AM Scout Portable Balance resolves this with a 6,200g / 0.1g specification, an 80-hour battery life, and a wide 140mm × 170mm stainless steel pan — all within the trusted Scout platform used across thousands of laboratory and field environments.

Key Features

• 6,200g Maximum Capacity: The widest range in the Scout portable line, covering bulk field samples, packaged goods, heavy components, and multi-container weighing tasks.
• 0.1g Readability: Tenth-of-a-gram resolution across a full 6.2kg range provides consistent measurement detail for production, logistics, and research applications.
• 80-Hour Battery Life: Standard AA batteries support an extended field session without the balance becoming a battery logistics problem.
• 140mm × 170mm Stainless Steel Pan: A generous platform that handles large containers, bulk sample bags, and oversized specimens without creating overhang.
• Six Application Modes: Covers check weighing, totalization, percent weighing, parts counting, display hold, and basic weighing in a single portable unit.
• Illuminated Level Indicator and Adjustable Feet: Ensures the balance is correctly positioned before each measurement — especially important on rough terrain or warehouse floors.
• Dual Power Options: Operates on four AA batteries in the field; the included AC adapter switches it to bench operation when mains power is available.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS SPX6201 AM Scout Portable Balance addresses the upper end of portable precision weighing — applications where samples regularly approach or exceed 5kg and a standard 2.2kg portable falls short. Agricultural harvest sampling, animal feed portioning, bulk chemical field collection, and heavy industrial QC inspection all fall within its practical working range. The 1-second stabilization time and ±0.2g linearity confirm that measurement performance remains reliable across the full 6.2kg span. A calibration lock switch preserves verification status between transport events, and the security slot accommodates standard cable locks for secured storage in multi-user environments. Despite the large capacity, the balance itself weighs just 1kg — the Scout platform's structural efficiency is clearly evident at this specification level.

Applications

• Agricultural field weighing of large harvest samples or animal feed portions
• Industrial mobile QC inspection where components or assemblies exceed 2kg
• Bulk chemical or environmental sample collection at remote field sites
• Portable check weighing for logistics, shipping, and packaging compliance
• Research field stations requiring high-capacity portable measurement capability
