Overview
The OHAUS Defender 5000 Series Heavy-Duty Platform Scale DF52P600HRZH is an industrial-grade floor scale engineered for precision, long-term stability, and operational resilience in demanding production, logistics, and quality control environments. Based on electromagnetic force compensation and high-linearity strain-gauge transduction principles, the DF52P600HRZH delivers repeatable static and dynamic mass measurements under variable loading conditions. Its structural architecture integrates a low-profile 90 mm ground clearance with a rigid U-shaped subframe fabricated from 4 mm cold-rolled steel or AISI 304 stainless steel—validated through 500,000 full-scale fatigue cycles per OIML R60 compliance protocols. Designed for integration into automated material handling workflows, the scale meets foundational metrological requirements for legal-for-trade applications where traceability, mechanical robustness, and environmental resistance are critical.
Key Features
- Structural integrity verified via 500,000-cycle full-load fatigue testing per ISO 376 and OIML R60 standards
- Low-profile design (90 mm height) enables seamless pallet jack and forklift access without ramp dependency
- Four high-reliability OIML R60–certified load cells: alloy steel (IP67 rated) or hermetically sealed stainless steel (IP68 rated), ensuring consistent output across temperature gradients (–10 °C to +40 °C operating range)
- Corrosion-resistant construction: optional all-stainless-steel platform (AISI 304), textured steel deck (6 mm standard; 8 mm for ≥5 t capacity models), and IP65-rated stainless steel junction box
- Modular connectivity architecture supporting both legacy and Industry 4.0 integration pathways
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The DF52P600HRZH accommodates standard industrial payloads including palletized goods (up to rated capacity), bulk containers, drums, and tote bins. Its open-deck geometry supports rapid placement and removal of irregularly shaped or oversized items. The scale complies with OIML R76 (non-automatic weighing instruments), EN 45501 (European harmonized standard for industrial scales), and ANSI/NIST Handbook 44 (U.S. specifications for commercial weighing devices). All stainless-steel variants meet FDA-recommended surface finish criteria (Ra ≤ 0.8 µm) for hygienic environments. Optional I/O modules support integration into PLC-controlled systems compliant with IEC 61131-3 logic frameworks.
Software & Data Management
The integrated indicator features embedded firmware supporting GLP/GMP-compliant data logging with time-stamped records, user authentication (via password-protected access levels), and audit-trail generation. RS232 output enables direct ASCII transmission to PCs or thermal printers for batch documentation. Optional Ethernet or USB interfaces allow connection to OHAUS SmartConnect™ software for centralized calibration management, remote diagnostics, and CSV export of weight histories. Analog outputs (4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC) facilitate real-time feedback to SCADA or MES platforms, while digital I/O supports discrete control of conveyors, gates, or reject mechanisms in automated checkweighing lines.
Applications
- Manufacturing: In-process verification of component weights, raw material receipt inspection, and finished-goods packaging validation
- Logistics & Warehousing: Pallet and container weighing, load distribution analysis, and shipment reconciliation
- Food & Beverage: Batch formulation, portion control, and HACCP-mandated weight monitoring at critical control points
- Pharmaceuticals: Bulk API transfer verification and intermediate product weighing under cGMP Annex 11-aligned data integrity practices
- Recycling & Waste Management: Incoming scrap classification, bale density estimation, and landfill diversion reporting
FAQ
Is the DF52P600HRZH certified for legal-for-trade use in the United States?
Yes—when configured with NTEP-certified load cells and approved firmware, it meets NIST Handbook 44 requirements for Class III commercial applications.
Can this scale interface with a Siemens S7 PLC?
Yes—via optional RS485 Modbus RTU or analog 4–20 mA output, enabling native integration into SIMATIC S7-based control architectures.
What is the maximum allowable ambient humidity for continuous operation?
The IP67 load cells and IP65 junction box permit uninterrupted use in environments up to 95 % RH non-condensing, with optional conformal coating available for high-salinity or chemical-exposure zones.
Does the scale support automatic tare recall across multiple users?
Yes—up to 20 programmable tare values can be stored and assigned to individual operator IDs, with tamper-evident modification logs retained for audit purposes.
Is factory calibration traceable to NMI standards?
All units ship with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST (USA) or NIM (China), including as-found/as-left data, uncertainty budgets, and environmental test conditions.
