Description

The A&D EK-AEP Intrinsically Safe Compact Balance, Affordable, Convenient Explosion-Protected ATEX Balance With Optical Data Output Capability

The A&D EK-AEP Intrinsically Safe Compact Balance series of internationally certified, intrinsically safe*1  balances is compact, lightweight and economical.
Due to it’s simple design and compact nature The A&D EK-AEP Intrinsically Safe Compact Balance brings ease of use and security to anyone who needs to perform precise weight measurement in potentially explosive (ATEX) and hazardous environments.
The A&D EK-AEP balance uses off the shelf batteries that are widely available that gives the balance a working life of approx. 250 hours with the backlight off.
This means that there is no need to secure power from a safe area via a safety barrier, allowing you to avoid the expense and inconvenience of special ATEX wiring installed by a qualified electrician. It also means that you can easily take and use the balance wherever needed and performing weighing functions across the site.
Typical environments for use for this balance would be hazardous chemicals, petrochemical, pyrotechnics and liquid ATEX weighing.
The A&D EK-AEP Intrinsically Safe Compact Balance is equipped with an optical connector from which it can output weighing results to a device in a distant safe area via optical fibre cable and an AD-1611 optical communication adapter.*2.Ratings below for ATEX classified areas:

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see below for answers to frequently asked questions.

A calibration certificate proves the accuracy of your weighing equipment. It is very likely that if accuracy matters in your workplace, certification will be required by your industry regulators. They are straightforward to get hold of though. Just ask our team.

If you are trading or transacting anything by weight, you will probably need to demonstrate your weighing equipment is verified for trade use. This gives your customers confidence in your business and will make sure buying and selling run smoothly. We can help get you with relevant approvals for your equipment.

The answer will vary depending on how your equipment is used. As a minimum, we typically recommend once a year but our team can provide advice based on your individual circumstances.

The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) has established standards for the classification of calibration test weights. Varying from E0 & E1, which are the most accurate to M2 which are commonly used for calibrating platform scales, floor scales and other industrial weighing instruments.

As a rough guide we have listed desired accuracy against class below.

+/- 0.1% – UNclassed Proof Load Test Weights
+/- 0.05% – M3 (Check/calibrate coarse scales)
+/- 0.005% – M1 (Check/calibrate standard scales)
+/- 0.0015% – F2 (Check/calibrate portable balances)
+/- 0.0005% – F1 (Check/calibrate precision balances)
+/- 0.00015% – E2 (Check/calibrate analytical balances)

The choice of weight class depends on the intended use and the level of accuracy required for a particular application. If you’re unsure, talk to our team who can advise you on the right class for your equipment.

If you’re sending a scale back to us for recalibration, it is ideal to use the original packaging. If this is not available choose a sturdy well-padded box to avoid shocks. Where possible, protect the load sensor by removing the weighing pan and any under-pan support and pack these separately in the box. You may be able to use the equipment’s locking pins or screws too.

Do ensure all the paperwork, including your contact details, is included to ensure we can return it once calibration is complete.
