Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52P1500HSRZH is an industrial-grade weighing solution engineered for precision, durability, and long-term reliability in demanding production, logistics, and quality control environments. Built on a robust dual-layer structural architecture with a low-profile 90 mm ground clearance, this platform scale integrates high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel construction throughout its load-bearing framework — including a 6 mm patterned steel or stainless steel top deck (8 mm for 5-ton configurations) and a 4 mm U-shaped pressed steel or stainless steel underframe. Its mechanical integrity has been validated through 500,000 full-scale fatigue cycles per OIML R76 and internal engineering protocols, ensuring consistent repeatability and minimal creep under continuous operational stress.
Key Features
- Four high-accuracy alloy steel load cells compliant with OIML R60 Class C3 (IP67 rated); stainless steel variants feature hermetically welded IP68 sealed sensors for enhanced corrosion resistance
- IP65-rated all-stainless-steel junction box with integrated terminal block and surge protection
- Dual-layer reinforced chassis design minimizing deflection and maximizing lateral stability during off-center loading
- Low-profile 90 mm deck height facilitating seamless integration with conveyors, pallet jacks, and automated material handling systems
- Integrated overload protection up to 150% of rated capacity, with mechanical stop mechanisms preventing sensor damage
- Real-time temperature compensation and auto-zero tracking algorithms maintaining accuracy across ambient fluctuations (10–40 °C operating range)
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52P1500HSRZH supports a wide range of industrial weighing tasks involving pallets, drums, crates, and bulk containers — accommodating standard Euro pallets (1200 × 800 mm) and ISO pallets (1200 × 1000 mm) without modification. Its structural compliance aligns with international metrological standards including OIML R76-1 (non-automatic weighing instruments), ISO 9001:2015 for quality management system integration, and EN 45501 for legal-for-trade applications in EU member states when certified by national metrology institutes. Optional calibration certificates traceable to NIST or BIPM reference standards are available upon request for GLP/GMP-regulated facilities.
Software & Data Management
- Standard RS232 interface enables direct connection to PCs, label printers, or PLCs for real-time data logging and SPC charting
- Optional communication modules support RS485 (multi-drop networks), USB host/device mode, Ethernet TCP/IP (Modbus TCP), Bluetooth 5.0, and wireless 2.4 GHz radio transmission
- Analog I/O expansion (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC output + 2 digital inputs / 4 digital outputs) allows integration into SCADA, MES, or factory automation systems for closed-loop process control
- Firmware supports configurable data formatting (ASCII, Modbus RTU/TCP), automatic timestamping, and audit-trail-enabled event logging compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements when paired with validated software platforms
Applications
This platform scale serves critical functions across manufacturing, warehousing, agriculture, recycling, and food processing sectors. Typical use cases include incoming goods inspection, dynamic checkweighing of filled containers, piece counting of uniform components, percentage weighing relative to tare references, and batch reconciliation in ERP-integrated workflows. Its ruggedized enclosure and ingress protection make it suitable for wet, dusty, or chemically aggressive environments — including washdown areas where stainless steel variants meet USDA and EHEDG hygiene guidelines. Integration-ready interfaces enable seamless deployment in Industry 4.0 architectures requiring edge-level data acquisition and cloud-based analytics synchronization.
FAQ
Is the DF52P1500HSRZH approved for legal-for-trade use?
Yes — when configured with OIML R76-certified load cells and calibrated by an accredited body, it meets national type approval requirements for trade applications in multiple jurisdictions, including China’s JJG 539, EU’s MID directive, and Canada’s Measurement Canada regulations.
What is the maximum recommended operating temperature range?
The scale is rated for continuous operation between 10 °C and 40 °C, with optional extended-range variants available for environments up to 50 °C.
Can the scale be mounted on an incline or uneven floor?
Leveling feet with ±5 mm adjustment range are included; however, permanent installation requires a flat, rigid, vibration-dampened foundation meeting ISO 14644-1 Class 8 surface flatness specifications.
Does OHAUS provide firmware update support and version history documentation?
Yes — firmware updates, release notes, and backward-compatible configuration files are accessible via OHAUS’ secure customer portal with login credentials issued upon product registration.
Are calibration weights and traceable certificates included in the standard package?
No — these are optional accessories; certified Class M1 or M2 test weights and ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration reports may be ordered separately.
