Marsden DT-SS-JIK-APP Trade Approved Stainless Steel Drive Thru Scale

What is the DT-SS-JIK-APP?

Trade Approved scales like the stainless steel DT-SS-JIK-APP are essential if you are pricing items based on their weight. The stainless steel DT-SS-JIK-APP is different to most other Legal For Trade scales because it also allows you to streamline and automate your weighing processes effectively, potentially saving you time and money.

The DT-SS-JIK-APP is designed for use with pallet trucks - its shallow, low profile ramps mean a loaded pallet truck can be rolled onto the scale with minimum effort. It’s also IP68 stainless steel, perfect for harsh environments where it maybe subject to moisture and dust – particularly, with its 304 food grade surface - the food industry. It also has an RS-232 output so weight information can be sent directly to a PC or sticky label printer. The indicator is IP67.

Additionally, an optional relay board means the scale can switch other devices on or off. This means target weights can be hit automatically – resulting in fewer operatives required to monitor and control weighing.

How can I send weight data from the scale to a PC?

The DT-SS-JIK-APP has an RS-232 output. This means, with the optional Scale to PC USB Lead, you can record weight readings on a laptop or desktop PC.

There is no additional software required for the Scale to PC USB Lead. Simply plug the lead into your PC’s USB port, open an Excel spreadsheet, and you can start recording weight readings. Add an item to the scale, press Print on the indicator keypad and the data will appear in your spreadsheet. In fact, you can send weight information to almost any document or editable field in an application, as long as this is open on your PC when you are weighing.

A wireless version is also available, sending weight data via Bluetooth to your PC.

How can I print from these scales?

You can print sticky labels - that include weight, date and time information - directly from the DT-SS-JIK-APP. If you need a printer that is capable of creating sticky labels upto 76mm wide, choose the GP-3120 from the Accessories list.

If you need sticky labels upto 56mm wide, but also need other outputs from your scale at the same time (for example, the Scale to PC USB Lead, light tower or industrial remote display), go for the Godex printer option.

If you need help with choosing the right printer for your needs, speak to the Marsden team on 01709 364296.

Weight, date and time information (count if you are in Count mode) can all be printed on a sticky label by pressing Print on the indicator.

What are automated weighing processes?

Weighing and filling (including liquid filling) processes can be automated by choosing the optional relay board. The DT-SS-JIK-APP can be used to control other devices that feed produce – or products – to the scale. For example, if you're filling sacks of grain to a set weight, the scale can be connected to the hopper to switch off the feed once the target weight has been hit.

The DT-SS-JIK-APP has a hi/lo alarm which will further help with automating weighing. Its red/amber/green display will denote whether you are below, above or have hit a pre-defined target weight.

Why should you choose a Trade Approved, stainless steel drive thru scale?

If you want to speed up weighing processes, you work in damp, humid or dusty conditions, and you need a stamped weighing scale that meets Government requirements, choose the DT-SS-JIK-APP.

Verification fees are included in the price of this scale. You can read more about Trade Approved scales in this blog post.

The scale’s IP67 splashproof platform and indicator are tough, durable and built to last. The ramps are low profile so pushing a loaded pallet truck onto the scale is easy. A wall bracket is included for the indicator if you wish to wall or bench mount it.

The loadcells and cables are safely mounted within the structure of the platform, and it is supplied with 4m of armoured loadcell cable.

Other key features include Counting, Tare, Preset Tare, second scale input (so weight readings can be taken from two platforms at the same time) and long battery life.
