Ohaus CX5200F Portable Balance 5200g Capacity 1g Readability with Case

Description

Product Overview

The Ohaus CX5200F is a compact, high‑performance portable balance designed for laboratories, field work, and educational environments. Built to the rigorous standards of the Ohaus Compass series, this top‑loading balance offers a maximum capacity of 5200 g while maintaining a fine readability of 1 g, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements across a wide range of sample types.

Constructed from a durable, impact‑resistant polymer housing, the CX5200F combines robustness with a lightweight form factor that weighs less than many comparable bench‑top models. The balance features a clear, backlit LCD display that presents weight readings, unit selection, and diagnostic information in an easy‑to‑read format, even in low‑light conditions. The intuitive keypad layout provides quick access to tare, zero, and unit conversion functions, reducing the learning curve for new users.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Compass series; the CX5200F operates on a low‑power rechargeable battery that can sustain up to 1000 continuous hours of use before recharging is required. An automatic power‑off feature further conserves energy when the instrument is idle. The balance also incorporates a built‑in stability indicator that alerts the user to vibrations or drafts that could affect measurement accuracy.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the CX5200F excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. In a laboratory setting, it provides reliable weighing for chemicals, reagents, and small equipment, supporting quality control and research activities. Field technicians benefit from the rugged case and battery operation, allowing accurate mass measurements on construction sites, environmental sampling trips, and agricultural inspections.

Educators can integrate the balance into chemistry and physics curricula, giving students hands‑on experience with precise measurement techniques. The balance’s overload and underload protection safeguards the instrument against accidental over‑weighing, while the mechanical safety lock prevents unauthorized adjustments, making it suitable for shared classroom environments.

Because the CX5200F is compact enough to fit into a standard laboratory bench drawer yet sturdy enough to withstand daily transport, it bridges the gap between stationary bench scales and handheld pocket balances. Whether you are weighing a batch of samples in a research lab, conducting on‑site material analysis, or demonstrating fundamental principles to students, the CX5200F delivers consistent performance.
