It's A Shame To Lose Profits To Over-Packing—When These Scales Can Prevent It So Easily

With the highly-visible, multi-colored LED comparator lights, the HT-CL series of compact scales makes packing small fruits, vegetables, etc., within their designated limits much faster and more accurate than a numeric display alone.

A&D's new HT-CL series of compact scales features, most notably, a comparator function with highly-visible, three-color LED lights. These lights immediately indicate whether the weight measured is too low (red), just right (green), or too high (orange) by comparing it with the set upper and lower limits.

This feature provides users such as workers at fruit or vegetable pack-houses with two benefits: speed and accuracy. Imagine how much faster and more accurate the process will be if all you have to do to measure the correct quantity is watch the color of the LED light up instead of reading a numerical value on the display and judging whether it is within the designated limits for yourself. In other words, it can increase profits by enhancing throughput while simultaneously reducing loss due to over-packing.

The comparator limits can also be set in negative (minus) values so that the scale shows whether the weight taken out from (instead of added to) the container is within the limits. This is convenient for measuring out a relatively small quantity of objects such as toppings in succession.

In addition, (1) the HT series comes with three color bars (red/green/orange) to be attached to the weighing pan. Using different colors, it is easy to sort the scales by purpose, owner or point of use. (2) The scale can operate with either the provided AC adapter or four AA batteries (for approx. 450 hours using alkaline batteries with comparator lights OFF, or approx. 220 hours with comparator lights ON). (3) To avoid wasting power, the auto power OFF function switches the display off automatically when the scale is left in a stable state for 5 minutes. (4) Both the color bars and AC adapter are housed neatly in the scale's stackable carrying case.

(5) The user can select and keep ready for use any number of units from g, oz, ozt, lb-oz, dwt, ct, tael, tola and N (the comparator function cannot be used with lb-oz or tael, and lb-oz is not available with the HT-300CL). (6) The key lock function can inhibit setting limits for the comparator and changing the unit of measure to prevent operators from making changes to the scale settings. (7) There is a security slot in the rear of the scale to accommodate an anti-theft lock.

There are four models in the HT-CL series: HT-300CL (310 g × 0.1 g), HT-500CL (510 g × 0.1 g), HT-3000CL (3100 g × 1 g), and HT-5000CL (5100 g × 1 g). An optional stainless steel pan is available.
