Highland® HCB Portable Precision Balances

Fast, Accurate, and Durable Balance Technology: The Highland HCB is a fast, accurate, and durable balance that offers patented ShockProtect® technology, meaning you can hit, drop, or overload your balance without worrying about damage. Whether it's in the lab, field, classroom, or factory, the HCB will be exact every time. Highland® balances are well-suited for lab work, field use, and many industrial applications, providing advanced features in a compact, durable balance that stacks for easy storage.

Revolutionary ShockProtect® Technology: Highland's patented ShockProtect® feature offers advanced overload protection with three-point shock protection that helps prevent damage to internal components from accidental impacts, drops, or overloading. This innovative technology serves as a safeguard against shock loading and accidental overload, making these balances exceptionally resilient in demanding environments.

HandiCal® Internal Calibration System: The Highland features HandiCal® internal calibration with a built-in mass, eliminating the need for external weight sets. Simply move the calibration lever to activate the internal mass for quick, convenient calibration. This feature facilitates internal calibration without external weights, ensuring consistent accuracy and reducing maintenance requirements.

Robust Construction & Design: Sturdy ABS construction allows the Highland to stand up to demanding lab use and daily classroom or industrial applications. The solid, durable ABS housing is built to withstand rigorous use while maintaining precision performance. The large, grade 304 stainless steel pan allows easy cleaning and provides excellent durability for various weighing applications.

Space-Saving Stackability: Highland balances feature a unique stackability feature where balances stack efficiently and safely to save space (120mm pan size only). This innovative design maximizes storage efficiency in laboratories and educational environments where space is at a premium.

Superior Display & Usability: The vivid, backlit LCD is easily visible in any lighting conditions, with a programmable backlight that can be set to "always on," "always off," or "light only when weighing." Color-coded keys facilitate quick recognition of frequently used buttons, while dual tare keys operate with either the left or right hand for enhanced user convenience.

Comprehensive Weighing Functions: Highland balances provide fast, accurate weighing across multiple applications including:

  • Standard precision weighing operations
  • Parts counting with preset sample sizes
  • Memory accumulation that totals results
  • External calibration capability for verification and adjustment
  • Selectable digital filtering to minimize effects of vibration and disturbances
  • Zero-tracking feature ensures display returns to zero reading
  • Audible overload alarm warns when capacity is exceeded

Advanced Connectivity & Power: USB and RS-232 interfaces provide speedy communication with computers and printers for comprehensive data management. Adam Connect compatibility enables wireless data transfer to printers and PCs. The rechargeable battery provides operation almost anywhere, while the included AC adapter ensures reliable power. Programmable auto power-off helps save energy during periods of inactivity.

Enhanced Accuracy Features: A removable draft shield ensures accurate measurements by eliminating disturbances from air currents or wind (not available on HCB 60001). The capacity tracker built into the display allows easy monitoring of possible overloads. Level indicator and adjustable feet ensure proper balance setup for optimum weighing results.

Security & Portability: A security slot for optional lock and cable helps prevent theft, protecting your investment. An optional carrying case with lock can be purchased as an add-on accessory for easy transportation. A hook is included for weighing below the balance, expanding application possibilities.

Key Features Summary:

  • 3-year warranty for long-term reliability
  • Adam Connect wireless compatibility
  • Patented ShockProtect® technology for overload protection
  • HandiCal® internal calibration eliminates external weights
  • Unique stackability for space-saving storage (120mm pan only)
