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.
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.

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.
| Model | Product code | Maximum Capacity | Readability | Repeatability | Linearity | Pan Size | Calibration |

At 0.01 g readability the class of the control weight decides whether the check is meaningful:
The CENS series covers documentation and mobile use through three options:
| Option / documentation | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|
| RS232C interface | Connection of the balance to a printer or PC |
| Data collection software | Transfer of readings to a PC for records and further processing |
| Rechargeable battery | Operation independent of mains power |
| Additional OIML M1 weights | Second bench, or a documented checking procedure |
| Certificate of calibration — weight | Documented traceability for the control weight |
| Accredited calibration of the balance | Measurement traceable to a national standard, issued with a certificate; quoted separately |
Selection guidance: send the heaviest sample together with its container, whether results have to be printed or transferred to a PC, whether the balance is used away from an outlet, and any control weight, accredited calibration or certification requirement.
Send the maximum load including the container, the type of samples, whether check weighing, parts counting or percentage weighing is used, and any printing, data transfer, battery or certification requirement. COLO.Science can confirm the model and the approved configuration.
