Ohaus Corporation, a leading manufacturer of balances for the laboratory, education, industrial and specialty markets worldwide, recently introduced the Navigator, a new balance that combines powerful performance with portability—all at an affordable price.

Big enough to handle large loads, yet small enough to carry, Navigator gives laboratory users—and those who work in other demanding environments—the freedom to bring the lab to the field without sacrificing performance.

Designed with attention to keypad layout and a large custom display, Navigator's text messages and prompts guide users through set-up and operating functions. Navigator offers 16 weighing units and four functions, giving users the flexibility to meet a variety of weighing needs—quality control, percent weighing, animal weighing and more. Equipped with a standard RS232 interface to facilitate communication with printers, computers and other peripheral devices, Navigator can provide a documented audit trail at the touch of a button, making it the ideal balance in applications where GLP/GMP compliance is critical. Navigator also offers a host of attractive features
including:

• Simple one-button operation for basic weighing and dedicated single-function buttons for setup and menu operations
  
• Sealed one-piece keypad with wipe-clean styling to protect internal components from spills and spill gutters that direct liquids off the balance and away from the display
  
• A programmable auto shut-off feature and RS232 power shut-off to conserve battery life
  
• Environmental settings to filter vibrations and stability levels so the balance can be adapted for specific locations and
  
• An integral weigh below hook for below balance weighing applications, including density determination.

Ohaus' Navigator is available in capacities ranging from 210g x 0.01g to 8100g x 0.5g, making it suitable for most applications whether they be in the laboratory, in the factory or in the field.
