KERN precision balance PLJ 4200-2F
The KERN precision balance is a first-class solution for professional users who require maximum accuracy and convenience for demanding weighing processes. From laboratories in research and development to gold and jewelry purchases, this model impresses with a variety of integrated functions, such as convenient formulation with up to 99 recipes. Compared to similar models, it offers efficient user guidance and a large graphic display that can be used in several languages (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES, PT). Similarly designed models such as the [KERN precision scale PL24] offer comparable precision, but have a lower capacity, which makes this scale ideal for higher loads.
Overview of features and functions
With its high accuracy and maximum weighing range of 4200 g, the KERN & Sohn balance is ideal for a wide range of applications where fast and reliable weight determination is crucial. The internal automatic adjustment ensures reliable results, even if the balance is used at different locations. In addition, the recipe database facilitates the exact mixing of substances by storing target values for each recipe ingredient. This is the right choice for anyone looking for added convenience, speed and precision in everyday weighing.
Details and special features
Thanks to its sophisticated design, the scale can be used in a wide range of industries, from pharmacies and chemical laboratories to quality testing in industrial production. Here are some technical highlights at a glance:
- Max. Weighing range: 4200 g
- Readability: 0.01 g
- Linearity: ± 0.04 g
- Reproducibility: 0.02 g
- Settling time: 3 s
- Adjustment with internal weight (automatic)
- Interfaces: RS-232 for uncomplicated data transmission
The high stability program and the adjustable filters can compensate for vibrations or the smallest shocks, which is extremely helpful for fine dosing processes. The display support guides the user intuitively through the recipe creation process and shows both the names of the ingredients and the exact target values. The robust stainless steel weighing plate with a diameter of 160 mm and the solid plastic housing underline the durability of this single-range scale. Protective covers included in the scope of delivery provide additional protection against dirt and enable hygienic cleaning routines.
Certifications and standards
Typically, scales from KERN & Sohn comply with the relevant standards and legal regulations. The model meets the requirements for legal-for-trade use, particularly relevant in the gold and jewelry trade. Depending on the country of use, additional documents or certificates such as ISO calibrations can be purchased to ensure compliance with country-specific regulations.
Examples of use
- Recipe development in the laboratory: Thanks to the internal memory function, complex formulas with up to 20 ingredients can be conveniently managed, for example for cosmetic emulsions or pharmaceutical formulations.
- Quality testing in industry: The stable design and high precision are ideal for spot checks on production lines.
- Buying gold and jewelry: The system's calibration capability and fast settling time make the scale the perfect tool for determining precious metal weights.
- Food processing: In small manufactories, the weighing of spice mixtures or sensitive additives can be precisely documented

FAQs
How easy is the adjustment
?
The scale has a fully automatic adjustment function. As soon as recalibration is required, the process is started and carried out by the integrated calibration weight. This ensures consistent results without the need for manual intervention.
Which interfaces does the scale offer for data transfer?
An RS-232 connection is provided as standard. Using a suitable cable, your measured values can be transferred directly to PC software or other evaluation systems.
Can I use the balance outside the laboratory?
Yes, the internal adjustment and robust design also allow use in production-related environments. However, the recommended ambient temperature is between 15 °C and 35 °C to avoid measurement inaccuracies.
Which units can be set
Multiple weight units (g, dwt, tl, ozt, lb, oz, ct, mo) are available to choose from. This makes it easier for you to work in different international contexts and industries.
Conclusion
This precision scale combines maximum measuring accuracy with user-friendly operation and a robust design. With extensive functions such as a recipe database, fully automatic adjustment and a variety of adjustable weight units, it offers flexible solutions for laboratories, production and retail. For those who value precise and fast results, this model is a sophisticated and robust scale that has been developed for a wide range of professional applications.
