OHAUS OHAUS Scout STX
OHAUS portable balances with colour touchscreen, from 120 g × 0.001 g up to 8,200 g × 1 g.
Scout STX is the OHAUS series of portable balances with a 4.3" (109 mm) VGA colour touchscreen, which guides the operator through each step of the weighing application. Stabilisation takes one second, overload protection is sized at ten times the capacity, and the slim housing lets the balances be stored one on top of the other. The balance works from the included mains adapter or from 4 AA batteries (not supplied), with about 6 hours of operation on disposable batteries.
The 12 models differ in capacity, resolution and pan, so the model is chosen from the OHAUS table, not from the shape of the code: for example, STX123 weighs up to 120 g with 0.001 g, and STX6201 up to 6,200 g with 0.1 g. The 1 mg models have a draft shield, and the calibration weight is included on models up to 620 g. For a quotation, please send us the model code and the data interface you need; when the item is available locally or at the supplier, delivery takes 24–72 h; made to order, it usually takes 1–4 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What data interfaces does a Scout STX balance have?
RS232, USB Host, USB Device, Ethernet or Bluetooth, all as accessories. Tell us on request which interface you need, so that we include it in the quotation.
Which Scout STX model weighs to the milligram?
STX123 (up to 120 g) and STX223 (up to 220 g), both with 0.001 g resolution, pan Ø 93 mm and draft shield.
What details should you send us for a Scout STX quotation?
The model code (for example STX123), the quantity and the desired data interface. If you do not have the code, the maximum capacity and the resolution you need are enough for us to choose the model.
We do not carry out legal metrological verification or on-site calibration; we quote the balance and the accessories by code.
