3  Key features

3.1 Weighing Performance

Capacity: The XP205 offers a maximum capacity of 220 g, making it suitable for a wide range of weighing applications. Whether you are weighing small samples in a research laboratory or conducting quality control in a manufacturing environment, this balance can handle the task.

Readability: With a remarkable readability of 0.01 mg, it provides highly accurate results, essential for applications where precision is critical, such as pharmaceutical, chemical, and food & beverage industries.

Stabilization Time: The balance typically stabilizes in 2.5 seconds, allowing for quick and efficient weighing. This short stabilization time helps to increase productivity, especially in high - throughput laboratories.

3.2 Advanced Technologies

SmartGrid Technology: The revolutionary grid weighing pan design minimizes the effects of turbulence in the weighing chamber.

SmartSens Technology: Enables hands - free operation, enhancing personnel security. Users can concentrate fully on safely handling samples, reducing the risk of spills and contamination.

SmartScreen: Features a color - guided interface for safe and easy operation.

3.3 Connectivity Options

Bluetooth Connection: Allows for wireless data transfer, making it convenient to connect the balance to other devices such as printers or computers.

RS232 Interface: Standard RS232 interface is available for reliable data transfer to external devices. In addition, there is an option slot for a second interface, providing flexibility for future expansion.

3.4 Other Features

Level Control: This feature warns the user if the balance is not correctly levelled, ensuring the accuracy of the weighing results. A properly levelled balance is crucial for obtaining precise measurements, and this built - in feature helps to eliminate errors caused by an uneven surface.

Anti - static Kit (Optional): For applications where static electricity can affect the weighing accuracy, an integrated anti - static kit can be installed. This kit discharges static samples instantly without any risk of contamination, making it suitable for weighing sensitive materials such as powders or fine chemicals.

4. Specifications

Plateau Dimensions: The weighing pan has dimensions of 78 mm x 73 mm (3.07 in x 2.87 in), providing a sufficient surface area for placing samples.

Linearity: The linearity of the balance is ±0.1 mg, indicating the deviation from the ideal straight - line relationship between the applied load and the measured mass.

Repeatability: With a repeatability of 0.015 mg, the balance can provide consistent results when the same sample is weighed multiple times.

Eccentric Load Deviation: The eccentric load deviation (test load, according to OIML R 76) is 0.2 mg (100 g), which means that the balance can maintain a relatively small deviation in weighing accuracy even when the load is not centered on the weighing pan.

Weighing Time: The typical weighing time is 6 seconds, including the time for the balance to stabilize and display the accurate weight.

Adjustment: The balance uses proFACT technology for adjustment. It is a fully automatic time - and temperature - controlled adjustment system that ensures the balance remains accurate over time and under different environmental conditions.

Voltage: The balance can operate on a voltage range of 100 - 240 V, 50/60Hz, making it suitable for use in different regions around the world.

Weight: The unit weighs approximately 25 kg (55.1155 lb), which is a reasonable weight considering its functionality and build quality.

Dimensions: The external dimensions of the balance are 19 cm x 11 cm x 14 cm (7.48 in x 4.33 in x 5.51 in) (metric), allowing for easy installation in various laboratory setups.
