Questions about the Build Your Own Scale Kit US-HDSC

Is it legal for trade (NTEP)?

No. It is non-NTEP, so it is for internal weighing, not for buying or selling by weight.

How much weight can it hold?

Up to 5,000 lb.

  • Load cells: 4 load cells
How accurate is it?

It reads in 0.5 lb steps. That is its readability: the smallest change in weight the display shows.

How is it powered?
  • Power: Energy-efficient design for extended battery life
Can it be used outdoors or washed down?

Yes, with the water-resistant upgrade ($449). It makes the scale outdoor safe, water resistant and washdown safe.

Can it print weight tickets?

Yes. Add a printer under Upgrades on this page ($299).

Can it connect to a computer, PLC or other equipment?
  • RS232 output for data communication

An output to a PLC or control system is available under Upgrades on this page ($499).

How long is the cable?
  • Cable length: 15 ft
How does the 30-day return guarantee work?
  • 30-day return guarantee on every order.
  • Free lifetime tech support from our US-based team.
