Portable Education Balances

The OHAUS Scout® Pro Education Balance – Hands Down The Classroom’s Best
Portable Balance!

Designed for use in education applications, the OHAUS Scout® Pro features easy-to-use two-button
operation, a high-contrast LCD display, multiple weighing units, five application modes, and the option
of either RS232 or USB connectivity, the Scout Pro is the portable balance for your needs!

• Maximum Protection – Scout Pro is designed with mechanical and software protection against shock

and overloading which can cause damage to the weighing cell. An integrated shipping lock protects
the weighing cell during transportation or storage

• RS232 or USB Connectivity – Scout Pro interface accessories are easy to install at anytime, even after

purchase. The data cable is integrated in the kit, eliminating the need for additional cables

• Specific Gravity Software and Kit – The Scout Pro Education Balance is designed with specify gravity

software and an above balance kit which allows for specific gravity determination. The integral weigh
below hook is a secondary setup method for specific gravity determination

Scout® Pro Portable Education Balances

Built-In Application Modes:

Specific Gravity –

• Specific gravity calculation is automatic in weighing mode

• A Density/Specific Gravity kit is included with all Scout Pro Education Balances up to

4000g. It allows placement of sample and solution on top of balance when suspension of
samples below the balance isn’t practical.

• An integral weigh-below hook is part of the balance, so it can’t be misplaced!

Percent Weighing – Use the Percent Weighing mode to compare samples for
compounding, formulation, or quick weight checking. Place your reference weight
on the platform, enter the weight into memory, and the display will show the percentage
of the sample weight on the platform compared to the reference weight.

Totalization – Use Scout Pro’s memory function to repeatedly sum the weight on the platform. Unlike other balances,
the Scout Pro allows totalization up to the limit of the display!

Display Hold – The Display Hold mode allows you to retain the weight of an over-sized sample on Scout Pro’s display.

Parts Counting – The Scout Pro is designed for flexibility when counting parts

• Select from a sample size of 5, 10, 20 or 50 pieces while in counting mode with a

quick button press

• Scout Pro features user-enabled automatic recalculation of the average piece

weight – instead of counting 100 parts for a sample, count 10 and let the
Scout Pro count the rest of the sample! For applications where automatic
recalculation is not desired, the easy-to-use menu system allows this
feature to be disabled

• The Scout Pro can also be configured for situations where only the counting feature is required

User-Configurable – Scout Pro allows you to select active weighing units and modes using the two-button keypad. Scout Pro
can be quickly configured using an on-display menu system – there are no cryptic codes to input! A built-in lockswitch
prevents reconfiguration during use.
