KERN PDS Precision Balances – Flexible, High-Accuracy Touch Display Scales

The KERN PDS series precision balances combine flexible functionality, high accuracy, and a modern touch display, making them ideal for pharmaceutical, laboratory, and industrial applications. With features such as weighing with tolerance range, statistical analysis, counting, percentage weighing, and totalizing, these balances handle a wide variety of tasks efficiently and reliably.

The touch display ensures intuitive operation, allowing users to switch units, start adjustments, and access key functions directly from the screen. The Windows Direct function enables seamless transfer of weighing data to Windows applications via USB, eliminating manual data entry errors. Standard draught shields and generous weighing space (W×D×H 174×162×228 mm) protect samples while ensuring precision.

Designed for regulatory compliance, the PDS balances support for GLP/ISO recordkeeping with date, time, and identification numbers, and assists with data integrity in accordance with U.S. FDA 21 Part 11. They also support remote control and data queries via the KERN Communication Protocol for integration with LIMS, ERP, or CRM systems. Underfloor weighing loops and RS-232/USB interfaces are included for maximum connectivity.
