The standard version allows the connection to a printer or PC, installation of GLS and DHL shipping software, storing the tare weight in order to carry out net weighings. Other functions are: 4-20 mA analogue output and  0-10 V analogue output, date and time, adjustment of limit values, continuous load, calculation of the percentage, indication of the maximum weight, anti-shock filter and many others (see below). The packaging scale PCE-PM ... C comes with CE certification. It meets all the metrological conditions and it can be used in those companies where verification is not required. Optional ISO certificate is also available. The optional ISO calibration certifies the recovery of the measurement values according to the national normal pattern.f there are any questions about this package scale with verification PCE-PM C series, please have a look at the technical specification below or call: + 44 (0) 2380 98703 0.

Special features of the packaging scale PCE-PM:

- Feature package 2 for the packaging scale PCE-PM:
The standard features of the verifiable packaging scale are the following: auto taring function, piece counting function, automatic data transference, setting of the RS-232 port and memory of the tare value. There are other features within the feature package 2:
- Anti-vibration filter (FIL)
- Filter for weighing animals (LOC)
- Maximum value indication (MAX)
- Sum of recipe ingredients weighing (SUM)
- Increasing of the readability for 5 seconds (F/F)
- Percentage calculation (%)

- Dual scale:
In case you need a higher resolution, we can offer the dual scale. For instance, if you acquire the packaging scale for 60 kg and add the dual function of 30 kg you will have a reading capacity from 10 g to 30 kg, and when it exceeds 30 kg, a reading capacity is of 20 g.

- Dimensions of the scale:
If you need a larger weighing pan, we can offer the following verifiable packaging scale:                 Overall dimensions: 510 x 730 x 850-870 mm
Weighing pan dimensions: 500 x 600 x 150 mm
Weight: 25 kg 

- Stainless steel platform
Additionally, we can provide the packaging scale with a high quality stainless steel platform resistant to abrasions.

- Printer:
The verifiable packaging scale can be connected to a thermal printer with adhesive labels. This device can be sent when the scale is ordered because it only needs a basic setting-up. The thermal printer PCE-BP 1 does not need any special configuration

- Date and time:
If you wish to print weighing values with date and time, it is possible to provide the packaging scale with an internal clock.

- RS-232 port:
Our verifiable packaging scales come with RS-232 port. In case you need to connect our packaging scale to a printer and PC at the same time, we recommend to order another RS-232 port to avoid annoying replugging.

- 4-20 mA analogue output:
If your verifiable packaging scale comes with an analogue output, you will be able to use it for control and monitoring works related to the weight. The verifiable packaging scale will display the weight in mA taking into account that the range will be always between 4 and 20 mA. 4 mA means 0 kg (no load). In case of voltage drop it can indicate the fail. 20 mA will be the maximum load. It can be connected to a control relay and used for mixturing. 

-  0-10 V analogue output:

Although this is not as usual as the analogue output from  4 to 20 mA, it works and operates in the same way, except for the possibility of displaying a fail. 0 V will be 0 kg and the maximum load will be 10 V. 

- Adjustment weight:
This function allows using the packaging scale as a control device in an economical and easy way. There is a possibility to set high and low limit values. Additionally, the packaging scale comes with a testing interface to be able to switch up to 3 circuits with the help of the limit values. The activation of three circuits can be determined as a single or continuous pulse. This is important for the control of the visual and acoustic alarms. If the weight is below the limit value, yellow light will be on, if it is between the upper and low value. green light will be on and if the upper limit value is exceeded, red light will be on.

- Continuous load
Thanks to the high quality of or verifiable packaging scale and its special continuous load function, it is possible to detect the current weight before and after turning on/off the verifiable packaging scale. You can use this function to control the proper level in a winery. Other features such as getting the defined limit values can also be used without any problem (see the above paragraphs).  

Additional components for the verified packaging scale:

Buzzer
If your packaging scale has the limit values function, it is possible to transmit an acoustic signal when the established limit value is exceeded. The buzzer will sound approx. at 90 dB.

Visual indicator:
With the visual indicator it is possible to display the established limit values to exclude any negligence. If the weight is below the limit value, yellow light will be on; if it is between the upper and low value, green light will be on and if the upper limit value is exceeded, red light will be on.
