The ACS-30 scale typically features a platform measuring approximately 280mm in length and 180mm in width, providing ample space for containers, boxes, and parts. The overall unit dimensions, including the display arm, are approximately 300mm wide, 260mm deep, and 112mm high for the base, with the arm adding additional height. These dimensions make it suitable for benchtop placement without occupying excessive workspace.

How do I perform check-weighing with this scale?

To use check-weighing: enter the high and low weight limits using the keypad. When weighing items, the scale will compare each measurement against these preset limits. If the weight falls within the acceptable range, no alarm sounds. If the weight exceeds the high limit or falls below the low limit, audible and visual alerts activate, signaling the operator to reject or investigate the item.
