The KERN PCJ IoT-Line precision balance series delivers reliable, high-accuracy weighing with integrated alibi memory, optional legal verification, and Industry 4.0 connectivity. These advanced digital precision balances are designed for laboratories, quality control environments, jewellery weighing, and pharmaceutical applications where traceable and compliant measurement results are essential.
With capacities up to 6000 g and a readability of 0.01 g, the PCJ series provides precise and stable measurements for professional weighing tasks. Built-in internal adjustment and electronic record keeping ensure consistent accuracy, making these balances ideal for environments requiring GLP/ISO-compliant documentation.
Key Features of the KERN PCJ Precision Balance
Integrated Alibi Memory for Secure Data Storage
The PCJ precision balance includes an alibi memory for paperless storage of weighing results. This feature ensures that weighing data can be:
-
Securely archived
-
Electronically evaluated
-
Easily exported for documentation and auditing
Alibi memory is particularly useful for verified weighing applications and regulated industries where traceability is required.
Optional Verification for Legal Trade Applications
Certain PCJ models can be supplied with conformity assessment (verification) ex works, making them suitable for applications requiring legally compliant weighing results, including jewellery and precious metal trading.
Internal Adjustment for Reliable Accuracy
The balance features a rotary internal adjustment system, allowing quick calibration without external weights. This ensures consistent measurement accuracy, even when the balance is moved between different locations.
The balance can also be adjusted while operating on battery power, making it highly flexible for mobile use.
Industry 4.0 Connectivity
The KERN Universal Port (KUP) enables connection to multiple interface adapters, including:
-
RS-232
-
USB
-
Bluetooth
-
WiFi
-
Ethernet
These adapters allow direct communication with computers, printers, LIMS systems, or ERP platforms without complex installation.
Using the KERN Communication Protocol (KCP), users can also perform remote control and data queries via computer systems.
Advanced User Interface and Custom Settings
The PCJ precision balance includes a configurable menu system that allows users to customise:
-
Button functions
-
Acoustic signals
-
Print protocols
-
Data output formats
A menu lock function prevents unauthorised access to settings, ensuring consistent operation in shared laboratory environments.
GLP and ISO-Compliant Record Keeping
The system automatically records key information, including:
-
Weighing results
-
Calibration adjustments
-
Date and time
-
Identification numbers
This makes the PCJ balance ideal for regulated industries and quality assurance processes.
Additional Practical Features
-
Hook for underfloor weighing
-
Protective working cover included
-
Stable measurements with fast stabilization times
-
Compatible with laboratory information management systems (LIMS)
