Ohaus CS5000 has a low profile design and is truly portable when powered by three "AA" batteries (included). A standard AC adapter can also be used to power the CS, when used in a more permanent location.
Ohaus CS5000 has a 5000 gram capacity with a 1 gram readability. Easy operation with two clearly marked buttons, low battery indicator and auto shut-off feature to conserve battery life, mechanical and software overload protection to protect weighing cell from damage, external push button calibration (calibration masses not included).
The Ohaus CS5000 is designed with a large weighing platform and can adequately handle large samples including oversized letters.
It's perfect for use in light production, in the field, the kitchen, the office, and more. In addition, the standard stainless steel platform is removable for easy cleaning.
This uniquely designed scale is useful in a wide variety of applications, more than any other scale in its class. Easy operation, long battery life, and great performance make this product a truly remarkable value.
The Ohaus CS5000 is a great digital scale, but we do get calls from people saying
they want to buy an American made digital scale (yep, the Ohaus CS5000 is made in China) and we do have one available that is made in the USA - the
Sartorius AY-6000. Sartorius is assembled at the Sartorius North America in Arvada, Colorado. Sartorius makes of some of the world's finest balances since 1871 when they introduced the world's first pharmaceutical balance. The
Sartorius AY6000 (6100g x 1g) offers many more features than the Ohaus CS5000.
If price is absolutely the #1 issue and you are in search of the lowest cost 1g digital scales then we have a couple of other digital scales that are made in China. The My Weigh's
KD7000 scale offers 7000g x 1gram and is priced much less than the CS5000.
