DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
The Ohaus DS Series Bench Scales are precision industrial weighing instruments
which can be used for almost any application with capacities from 44 to 440 pounds or
20 to 200 kilograms. The scale is designed to provide years of service with virtually no
maintenance. The DS series indicator is constructed using an extruded aluminum
housing which is anodized, contains a one piece PC board, a five digit LCD display
which is 0.8 inches in height. The indicator is connected to the platform by a coiled cord
and can be positioned up to eight feet from the platform for ease of viewing. The
platforms on Models DS4 and DS10 are constructed of stainless steel, and painted
steel on Models DS10L, DS20L and DS44L. The platforms are rugged and easily
cleaned. Power is supplied through an AC Adapter/Charger which is available in three
configurations for world-wide usage. An internal Nickel Cadmium battery powers the
indicator, is rechargable and provides up to eight hours operation. Typical recharge
time is seven hours. Accessories include a tower to support the indicator at a higher
position to permit easier viewing of the display on the indicator. An indicator wall mount
is included with the DS Series Bench Scales.
