A range of four-place balances incorporate touch screen, advanced weighing and touch-free proximity sensor technologies. The easy to use control unit can be mounted on the base, above the base on an optional column, on a wall, or remotely (up to a distance of 3 metres with an optional cable). The touch screen display, with universal icons and informative prompts, simplifies set-up functions and basic operation. The operator has the added choice to assign the use of any of the four proximity sensors for hands-free operation of print, zero, tare, calibrate, automatic draft shield door (left or right) or draft shield light. The hands-free operation enables the user to minimise/eliminate any possible contamination of the control keypad - particularly important for weighing of sensitive materials. The balances have multiple application modes for basic weighing to SQC applications together with short stabilisation times and optimised performance specifications.

Explorer’s automated draft shield provides ample side entry (160×240 mm) to the weighing chamber allowing the user to freely place and remove large weigh boats or other large vessels. The versatile top door offers two entry options; access the weighing chamber by flipping the top door or manually sliding the glass panel open. The draft shield is constructed of antistatic coated glass to help dissipate static charges in the weighing chamber that could adversely affect weighing results. There is also a draft shield chamber light for use in environments with low lighting.
