Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52P3000HXVZH is an industrial-grade weighing solution engineered for precision, durability, and operational reliability in demanding production, logistics, and quality control environments. Utilizing load cell-based force transduction technology, the scale delivers high reproducibility under dynamic and static loading conditions across a wide range of ambient temperatures and humidity levels. Its structural architecture—featuring a low-profile 90 mm ground clearance and reinforced U-channel base formed from 4 mm thick carbon or stainless steel—ensures mechanical stability during repeated full-scale loading cycles. Certified to OIML R60 for load cell accuracy class C3 (or C4 for stainless variants), the DF52P3000HXVZH meets international metrological requirements for legal-for-trade applications where traceable mass measurement is essential.
Key Features
- Robust dual-layer platform construction: 6 mm checkered steel or stainless steel top plate (8 mm for 5-ton configurations) bonded to a 4 mm press-formed U-channel steel base frame
- Four high-stability alloy steel load cells compliant with OIML R60 Class C3; stainless steel models equipped with hermetically sealed IP68 welded sensors
- IP65-rated all-stainless-steel junction box for enhanced corrosion resistance and long-term signal integrity
- Low-profile design (90 mm platform height) enabling seamless integration with conveyors, pallet jacks, and automated material handling systems
- Validated for 500,000 full-capacity fatigue cycles—demonstrating structural integrity over extended service life
- Integrated shock-absorbing mounting system minimizing vibration-induced drift during operation
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52P3000HXVZH accommodates standard industrial containers, pallets, drums, and bulk materials up to its rated capacity. Its open-frame geometry supports irregularly shaped loads while maintaining center-of-load tolerance within ±10% of platform dimensions. The scale complies with ISO 9001 manufacturing processes and conforms to electromagnetic compatibility standards IEC 61326-1 (industrial environment). For regulated industries—including food processing, pharmaceutical packaging, and chemical blending—the unit supports audit-ready documentation protocols when integrated with compliant software platforms. While not intrinsically rated for hazardous locations, optional grounding kits and explosion-proof interface modules are available per ATEX/IECEx consultation.
Software & Data Management
The built-in indicator features a programmable RS232 serial interface as standard, supporting ASCII-based communication with PCs, label printers, and PLCs. Optional connectivity includes RS485 (for multi-drop networks), Ethernet (TCP/IP), Bluetooth 5.0, and USB host/device modes—enabling seamless integration into MES, ERP, and SCADA architectures. Analog I/O (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC) and digital I/O (2-in / 4-out) modules allow direct control of external actuators, alarms, or sorting gates without intermediary controllers. Firmware supports configurable data logging intervals, user-defined tare sequences, and GLP/GMP-compliant audit trails when paired with OHAUS SmartLink™ or third-party compliant software meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and signatures.
Applications
- Warehouse receiving and outbound verification: palletized goods, raw material intake, and finished-goods dispatch
- Manufacturing process control: batch weighing, ingredient dispensing, and in-line checkweighing prior to packaging
- Agricultural commodity handling: grain, feed, and fertilizer loading/unloading operations
- Recycling and scrap metal facilities: gross/net/tare weight capture with automatic deduction logic
- Construction material yards: bagged cement, aggregate, and precast component weighing
- Foodservice distribution centers: compliance-driven weight verification aligned with USDA/FDA labeling regulations
FAQ
Is the DF52P3000HXVZH certified for trade use in the United States or EU?
Yes—when configured with OIML R60 C3-certified load cells and installed by an authorized metrology service provider, it qualifies for NTEP Class III and MID-approved applications in the EU.
Can this scale be mounted on an incline or uneven floor?
It requires level installation per manufacturer specifications; optional adjustable leveling feet and ramp kits (sold separately) support minor grade compensation.
Does the indicator support multiple user profiles with role-based access?
Yes—the firmware includes configurable operator permissions (e.g., calibration lockout, setup modification restrictions) to meet internal SOP and regulatory access control requirements.
What environmental conditions are supported for continuous operation?
Operating temperature range: –10 °C to +40 °C; relative humidity: 10–90 % RH non-condensing; IP65 enclosure rating ensures protection against dust ingress and water jets.
Is remote firmware update capability available?
Firmware updates are performed via USB drive or serial connection using OHAUS-provided utilities; over-the-air (OTA) updates are not supported in this model generation.
