Marsden P-SS-JIK-APP Trade Approved Stainless Steel Platform Scale

What is the P-SS-JIK-APP?

The Marsden P-SS-JIK is a Legal For Trade, durable stainless steel platform scale, designed, with the choice of extras available, for automating your weighing processes. You can send weight information directly to a PC, print weight readings on sticky labels or use the scale to control other devices with the optional relay board.

If you need a scale that provides precision and reliability in harsh environments when you are basing a price of an item on its weight, and you want to save money be reducing the manpower required for weighing processes, choose the P-SS-JIK-APP.

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

The P-SS-JIK-APP has an RS-232 output. This means it can be used with the optional Scale to PC USB Lead, which allows weight information to be sent from the scale to a PC.

If you need simple and easy data recording from your scale to a spreadsheet on a PC – in fact, any editable document – just plug the Scale to PC USB Lead into the USB port of your PC. Open an editable document like Excel, and when a weight reading registers on the scale, press Print on the indicator and the data will appear instantly in your spreadsheet. Weight (or count, if the scale is in Count mode), data and time can all be sent from scale to PC. The Scale to PC USB Lead can be found in the Accessories list, and can be added to your order by clicking the checkbox. A wireless version is also available.

How can I print from these scales?

If you need a label printing each time you weigh an item or items, choose a sticky label printer. Simply connect the printer to the scale, and when a weight registers on the display, press Print on the indicator keypad and Net Weight, Gross Weight, Tare, Weight, Date and Time can all be printed. If the scale is in Count mode, the count information can be printed instead. Standard sticky label sizes are 56mm x 56mm labels as standard. However, we can supply label widths upto 76mm

What are automated weighing processes?

The optional relay board allows you to automate weighing processes, saving man hours. The scale can be used to switch other devices on and off, so that, for example, when a target weight is reached, the scale switches off the supply. For example, if you are weighing bags of produce as it is fed from a hopper, the scale can be connected to the hopper to switch off the feed once a target weight has been hit.

The hi/lo alarm that is a standard feature of the scale further aids automated weighing with its red/amber/green display denoting whether you are below a target weight, above a target weight or have hit a target weight. For even more weighing automation, a light tower is also available from the Accessories list.

Why should you choose a Trade Approved stainless steel platform scale?

Stainless steel scales offer more durability over their mild steel equivalents. The P-SS-JIK-APP is commonly used in warehouses or factories where conditions are regularly damp, humid or dusty. It’s well suited to the food industry too, with its 304 food grade platform surface. Marsden stainless steel platform scales are available in a choice of sizes, capacities and graduations, with ramps available for use with pallet trucks. The IP67 splashproof indicator can be wall, column or bench mounted.

This platform scale is suitable for weighing when price is based on weight. It is a legal requirement that a Trade Approved scale is used in such circumstances. A calibration certificate can be purchased for your records, in case it is requested during a Trading Standards visit.

This platform scale is low profile and comes with 4m of loadcell cable as standard. The 4 x 1000kg capacity loadcells are safely mounted within the structure of the platform - this protects the cables from damage by fork trucks when the platform scale is being moved.
