Aﬀordable, Convenient Explosion-Protected
Balance With Optical Data Output Capability
The EK-AEP series of internationally certiﬁed, intrinsically safe*1 balances iscompact, lightweight and economical, bringing ease and security to anyone who
needs to perform precise weight measurement in potentially explosive andhazardous environments.
The EK-AEP series is equipped with an optical connector from which it can output
weighing results to a device in a distant safe area via optical ﬁber cable and anAD-1611 optical communication adapter.*2

You can comfortably bring the balance tolocations where ignitable concentrationsof ﬂammable gases, vapors or liquids arepresent continuously or for long periods oftime under normal operating conditions(i.e. Zone 0 or Division 1).

Operation with oﬀ-the-shelf batteries*3 (life approx. 250 hours withbacklight oﬀ)
This makes it unnecessary to secure power from a safe area via a safety barrier, allowing you
to avoid the expense and inconvenience of special wiring installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.
It also means that you can easily take and use the balance wherever needed.

AA E91 alkaline LR6 AM3, or Panasonic AA alkaline LR6 (XJ) 1.5V batteries.

AD-1611 optical communication adapter for data output(sold separately)
The AD-1611 receives optical data from the EK-AEP series
and transmits electric signals to an external device such asa printer or PC through RS-232C or USB.*4Three optical ﬁber cables of diﬀerent lengths (10 m, 30 m,and 60 m) are available as accessories. You can select one thatmatches the distance between the balance and the AD-1611.

AD-1611

communication is unidirectional and the AD-1611 cannot* 4 Thetransmit commands from the external device/PC to theEK-AEP series. The AD-1611 itself isn't explosion-protected.

When the AD-1611 is connected to a PC via USB,*5 the power is supplied from the PC
and there is no need to use the AC adapter. (When the RS-232C is used, power needs
to be supplied from the AC adapter.)a PC can be connected to the USB port of the AD-1611. A USB*5 Only
cable (type B male - type A male, 1 m) is provided as standard.

Other useful features✔ GMP/GLP compliant output to meet documentation requirements✔ Auto power OFF function to save battery power✔ Easy-to-read LCD display with backlight (16 mm character height)✔ Hygienic and chemically resistant stainless steel (SUS304) weighing pan✔ Multiple weighing units: g, oz, lb, ozt, ct, mom, dwt, gr, N, in addition to pcs (counting mode),% (percent mode) and SG (speciﬁc gravity)*6✔ Comparator function for faster and more accurate ﬁlling, packing, sorting, etc.
✔ Response characteristics adjustable depending on the degree of drafts and vibrations at the location✔ Security ring for wire-locking the balance to prevent theft*6 Either tl (tael) or tol (tola) can be added upon request.
