Our weight measuring instruments are based on microcontrollers and are fully programmable. The setup parameters are written in a non-volatile memory, which has about 1 000 000 re-write cycles. For standard scales the user can not alter the metrological parameters, because this will be a violation of scale's standard - EN 45501:2001. It is possible to connect the scale to a personal computer, using RS-232C or RS-485 protocols and standards. The protocols for communication are free for download. The client may also use our specialized software.

The display of G1601 consists of one 5-digit super bright red display for indicating weight, with digit height of 25.4mm, and two 6-digit super bright red displays for indication of single and total price (or additional information) with digit height of 14mm. Display of G1602 is organized the same way, but weight digits are with height of 20mm, and additional displays - 10mm.

The display of G5100 and G5102 is a 5-digit weight display, super bright red with digit height of 25.4mm. All displays are covered with dark purple filter. That way we achieve very high contrast and good readability, no matter of surround light. The extra height of weight display assures visibility of the result from distance of minimum 6m.

The weight measuring principle is based on measuring resistance. The load cell basically is a Wheatstone bridge with four tensometers. When force is applied (weight), the deformation causes change in the resistance of these tensometers. Because a supply voltage is applied to the bridge, this occurs as a voltage change in the output of the bridge. The problem here is in the very small voltages, that should be measured - between 1mV and 10mV. G1602, G1601 and G5102 are based on a modern sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter from Analog Devices, but G5100 uses more traditional way to measure voltage - dual slope architecture. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but they cover the basic requirements of the scale standard EN 45501:2001 (OIML R76-1 and R76-2 recommendations). Time for a stable measure in standard instruments is 1.5s for full equilibrium. It is possible to achieve faster measurement (about 150ms for good measurement), which takes place in industrial applications and can be ordered.

Instruments are powered by 220VAC (+10/-15%), or 12VDC - 35VDC when special order is made.

Dimensions of G1602 and G5102 are (H/W/D) 175/160/65mm. Mounting on vertical surface is made using 4 bolts at the back of the box.

Dimension of G1601 are (H/W/D) 278/205/60mm, which is necessary because of the triple display and 16-button keyboard. The keyboard is intentionally made with bigger buttons, for ease of use. The mounting is made on any given vertical or horizontal surface by the delivered from GINEERS stand in the unit complectation.

Dimensions of G5100 are (H/W/D) 170/160/60mm, according to the single display and 4-button keyboard.

A custom scale may be accomplished for industrial purposes according to the way the scale is made. By means of service set-up menus can be choose:
