CENS Series

Precision Balances | 0.01 g Readability | 600–2000 g

CENS precision balances read to 0.01 g across capacities from 600 g to 2000 g. A single load cell platform, a bright LED display and external calibration give the same two-decimal resolution on every model, so the choice between them is a capacity decision rather than a performance one. Check weighing, parts counting and percentage weighing cover routine laboratory, production and incoming-goods work on one bench.

CENS600 CENS1000 CENS2000 0.01 g readability Class II LED display Battery option

Typical applications: routine laboratory weighing at two decimal places, sample and reagent preparation, quality control and incoming-goods inspection, parts counting of small components, percentage weighing in formulation work, teaching laboratories and production benches where an economical 0.01 g balance is required.

Models: CENS600 / CENS1000 / CENS2000

Two decimal places across the full 600–2000 g capacity range

Series overview

Weighing performance

  • 0.01 g readability on every model of the series.
  • Repeatability ±20 mg, linearity ±20 mg.
  • Minimum weighing 200 mg; accuracy Class II.
  • Stabilisation time ≤ 1.5 s on a stable bench.

Sensor & calibration

  • Single load cell platform, identical across the series.
  • External calibration with a control weight.
  • An OIML M1 weight matching the capacity is the recommended class at 0.01 g.
  • A calibration certificate for the weight is available on request.

Operation & functions

  • Full-range tare subtraction over the whole capacity.
  • Check weighing against preset limits.
  • Parts counting of small identical components.
  • Percentage weighing for formulation and dosing work.

Display, data & power

  • Bright LED display, readable in poor bench lighting.
  • RS232C interface available as an option.
  • Mains adapter, AC 110–240 V 50/60 Hz, DC 5 V / 2 A output.
  • Rechargeable battery as an option for work away from an outlet.

What distinguishes the CENS models

The models differ in maximum capacity only. CENS600 covers 600 g, where the full resolution is used over a short range; CENS1000 covers 1000 g for general laboratory work; CENS2000 extends the same 0.01 g resolution to 2000 g for heavier vessels and larger preparations. Readability, repeatability, linearity, pan size, display, calibration method, housing, functions and standard delivery are identical across the series — see the model table. Choose the smallest capacity that still accepts the heaviest sample together with its container.

Standard delivery: balance of the ordered model with stainless steel pan fitted, mains adapter and instruction manual. The series uses external calibration, so a matching OIML M1 control weight is recommended with every balance and is ordered separately; see the accessories page. Accredited calibration of the instrument — measurement traceable to a national standard, issued with a calibration certificate — is available on request and is billed separately, as is any service/calibration certificate outside the standard delivery.

OIML M1 control weights OPTION

Set of OIML M1 control weights in an aluminium case, used for external calibration and routine checking of CENS precision balances
OIML M1 weights
single weights and sets

At 0.01 g readability the class of the control weight decides whether the check is meaningful:

  • OIML M1 is the appropriate class for a 0.01 g precision balance; a finer class brings no benefit at this resolution.
  • Ordered separately from the balance; one weight per bench is normally enough for routine checking.
  • Available as single weights or as sets; match the nominal value to the capacity.
  • A calibration certificate for the weight can be supplied on request.

The CENS series covers documentation and mobile use through three options:

  • An RS232C interface for connection to a printer or a PC.
  • Data software that collects readings on a PC for records and further processing.
  • A rechargeable battery for benches and store rooms without an outlet.
  • State the intended use when ordering so the interface, cable and settings are supplied ready to work.

Ordering note: please state the instrument model (CENS600 / CENS1000 / CENS2000) when requesting accessories, so that the nominal value of the control weight, the interface and the battery option can be matched to the capacity and to the intended use. Accredited calibration of the instrument and service/calibration certificates are quoted separately.
