General description  

ACA/G  and  ACZ/G  series  balances  are  destined  for  high  accuracy  weighing  in  laboratory  practice. 

Balances are equipped with graphical display and  internal calibration system (only ACA/G) for accuracy 
control  during  balance  operations.  ACZ/G  have  only  external  calibration  option.  Electronics  system  is 
based on new generation 32-bit microprocessor.  

SPEEd 

option enables to change weighing speed and adjust it to measurement conditions. 

All balances are metrologically tested. According to an order balances can be calibrated or legally verified.  
Balances with legal verification comply with certificate of type approval and are marked with the following 
legal and securing items: 

-

 

metrological mark placed on the balance name plate, 

-

 

notified body stamp (number of notified body) on the balance name plate, 

-

 

protective seals placed on: an edge of balance name plate, the casing mounting screw and in the place 

of access to adjustment switch, 
In order to renew legal verification please contact authorized service of AXIS. 

Balance classification according to PKWiU: 33.20.31.
