The all-new Explorer® Series of Analytical and Precision balances — a product so extraordinary, it’s like nothing you’ve seen before!

Ingenious DRAFTSHIELD

• Frameless, flip-top design provides unobstructed access to the weighing chamber
• The expansive side entry 6.3 x 9.4 in (160mm x 240mm) allows you to freely place and remove large weigh boats or other large vessels in the weighing chamber
• Antistatic coated glass helps dissipate static charges in the weighing chamber that could adversely affect the weighing results
• Side doors seamlessly glide on top-mounted bearings, helping to prevent any potential bind up when balance is left uncleaned
• Easy to install and remove glass panels and a stainless steel bottom make Explorer extremely easy to clean
• A draftshield chamber light is available when the balance is used in low-lighting environments

Practical TOUCHLESS SENSORS

• Hands-free operation
  • Improves weighing efficiency
  • Eliminates sample residue transfer
  • Minimizes contamination
• Two sensors on the base and two on the display can be set up individually to allow for remote operations

Completely re-imagined from the ground up, the OHAUS Explorer® rises to a whole new level.

Intelligent calibration

• Fully-automatic internal calibration system
• No need for external masses
• Eliminates cost to maintain external weights
• Self-calibrates the system when it senses a temperature change sufficient enough to affect weighing accuracy, or every 11 hours

Intuitive user setup

• Easy to view illuminated level indicator placed at the front of the balance
• Adjustable thumbwheels are easy to turn to level the balance
• Level assist screen helps users to quickly identify which thumbwheels need to be adjusted to level the balance
• Data Transfer Function helps to output data directly into Microsoft Excel
• Instructional messaging during applications use guides users through the weighing process
• User information menu allows users to quickly view and learn more about the available balances features
• Up to 11 operating languages make Explorer’s Intuitive User Setup truly universal

The Explorer® is a revolutionary shift in the way users interact and operate a weighing instrument, all based on our ingeniously practical design philosophy

Applications

• Weighing - Determine the weight of items in the selected unit of measure. Minimum Weight feature is also available.
• Percent Weighing - Measure the weight of a sample displayed as a percentage of a pre-established Reference Weight
• Dynamic Weighing - Weigh an unstable load. Balance takes an average of weights over a time period.
• Totalization - Measure cumulative weight of multiple items. Cumulative total may exceed Balance capacity
• Differential Weighing - Store sample weights and calculate the difference between initial weights and final weights
• Peak Hold - Capture and store highest weight in a series. Both stable and unstable weights are captured
• Parts Counting - Count samples of uniform weight. Choose Standard Counting, Check Counting, or Fill Counting
• Pipette Adjustment - Check pipette values by weight analysis, with built-in water density table
• Check Weighing - Compare the weight of a sample against target limits. Choose from Standard, Nominal-weight, or Nominal-Percent
• Filling - Fill a container to a target weight. Progress bar displays filling status
• Formulation - For compounding and recipe making. The number of components can be from two to 99.
• Density Determination - Determine density of solids more dense than water, solids less dense than water, liquids, or porous material.
• Ingredient Costing - Determine cost of formula or recipe based on known cost/quantity of components or ingredients.
• SQC - Monitor and/or control processes to eliminate under and over filling.
