A&D Weighing HW-100KCEP Intrinsically Safe Bench Scale, 200 lb x 0.02 lb

The HW-100KCEP is an intrinsically safe bench scale designed for weighing in potentially explosive atmospheres. A&D lists approvals including FM/FMc Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D, as well as Class I, Zone 0 and IECEx/ATEX classifications. This makes it suitable for properly classified environments where flammable gases or vapors may be present, including facilities working with certain organic solvents and chemicals. Always verify that the scale's certification markings match the specific hazardous-area classification of your facility.

The HW-100KCEP provides a maximum capacity of 200 lb (100 kg) with 0.02 lb (0.01 kg) readability. A&D specifies 0.02 kg repeatability, ±0.02 kg linearity, and stabilization within approximately 1.5 seconds. This combination makes the scale suitable for containers, ingredients, raw materials, components, and production loads that require dependable weighing inside hazardous areas.

The HW-100KCEP operates on four approved D-size alkaline batteries, eliminating the need for a conventional AC connection at the weighing location. A&D specifies approximately 1,500 hours of operation with the backlight and comparator LEDs turned off, or around 1,000 hours with them turned on, depending on operating conditions. Only battery types specified by A&D should be used to maintain the approved intrinsically safe configuration.

Yes. The HW-100KCEP supports checkweighing, parts counting, accumulation, auto-tare, and negative comparison. Its 3-color, 5-step LED comparator lights provide operators with an immediate visual indication of whether a load falls within programmed limits. The model also supports counting up to 100,000 pieces, making it useful for filling, packing, sorting, inventory, and production-control tasks in hazardous environments.

The HW-100KCEP has an IP65-rated weighing base and a SUS430 stainless-steel weighing pan. The platform is designed to prevent dust ingress and withstand water jets, which can be valuable in demanding production environments where spills, dust, or cleaning are common. However, A&D specifies IP65 protection for the base/platform, so the entire scale should not be assumed to be waterproof or suitable for submersion.
