- Optional communication software and RS232 cables.
- Optional thermal printer for records without a PC.
Operation & functions
- Full-range tare subtraction over the whole capacity.
- Check weighing against preset limits.
- Parts counting and percentage weighing.
- External calibration with an OIML M1 control weight.
Construction & utilities
- High-precision load cell with stainless steel weighing pan.
- IP43 protection rating for routine laboratory use.
- AC 110–240 V, 50/60 Hz via DC 5 V/2 A adapter.
- Optional built-in rechargeable battery for work away from a mains outlet.
What distinguishes the CENSA models
The models differ in maximum capacity only. CENSA600 covers 600 g for small-sample and educational work; CENSA1000 covers 1000 g; CENSA2000 covers 2000 g for general bench weighing; CENSA3000 covers 3000 g; CENSA5000 extends the same 0.01 g resolution to 5000 g for larger vessels and bulk sample preparation. Readability, accuracy class, repeatability, linearity, display, calibration method, interface and standard functions are identical across the series — see the model table. Selection is therefore a capacity decision, not a performance trade-off.

Standard delivery: balance of the ordered model, power adapter and instruction manual. A calibration weight is not part of the standard delivery — because the series uses external calibration, an OIML M1 control weight matching the capacity is recommended with every balance; see the accessories page. Instrument calibration and/or issuance of a service/calibration certificate is billed separately, quoted on request.

Not sure which capacity and which calibration weight you need?
Send the maximum load including the container, the type of samples, whether check weighing or parts counting is used, and any printing, data transfer or certification requirement. COLO.Science can confirm the model and the approved configuration.
Official configuration notice: This document is provided for orientation and model selection. It does not replace the binding specification, delivered configuration, validation protocol or acceptance criteria confirmed in the official COLO.Science quotation, proforma invoice, order confirmation or manufacturer-approved technical offer. Confirm the model, capacity, accessories, calibration weight and certification requirement for the specific order. Specifications may change without notice.
