Designed for professionals on the move, it offers dual power options including a rechargeable battery lasting up to 24 hours. Its corrosion-resistant stainless steel pan, backlit LCD, and multiple unit modes ensure versatile, reliable measurements. Integrated USB and RS-232 ports streamline data management, while overload protection and a security slot safeguard your investment. Ideal for lab, field, or industrial use, this balance combines accuracy, durability, and smart connectivity in a compact footprint. ## Description The Adam Equipment HCB 1002 Highland portable conventional, or precision, balance has a capacity of 1000 g and an accuracy of 0.01 g (also called readability), and offers a two-second settling time that allows for increased productivity. The balance can be operated using AC power, or with the integrated rechargeable battery for up to 24 hours for full mobility in the field and when a power supply is hard to find. This balance has an automatic internal calibration system and an overload protection that prevents damage to the weighing cell and balance if too-heavy samples are mistakenly used. Integrated RS-232 and USB ports are available to transfer data to a printer or PC using the included cables. The below-balance weighing hook suspends bulky items beneath the balance for weighing.The balance has a backlit digital display for better readability and it weighs in 15 different units. The automatic data accumulation option continuously stores data each time the balance stabilizes on a measurement, and application keys provide shortcut access to parts-counting or percent-weighing mode. The removable plastic draft shield prevents dust and airflow from affecting a measurement. The ABS plastic housing is durable and easy to clean and is built to withstand tough field and lab environments. A built-in security slot for locks and cables protects the balance from unauthorized use or theft. The balance can be stacked and stored on top of other Core or Highland balances that have a 120 mm diameter pan, with or without the draft shield, to save space. The stainless steel weighing pan resists corrosion and is easy to clean. Warrantied by the manufacturer for two years.Specifications Maximum capacity 1000 g Readability 0.01 g Repeatability (sd) 0.01 g Linearity 0.02 g Operating temperature 0 to 40 degrees C Stabilization time 2 s Weight of balance 1.5 kg Units of measurement gram (g), carat (ct), ounce (oz), pound (lb), dram (dr), grain (GN), Troy ounce (ozt), pennyweight (dwt), momme (MM), Hong Kong tael (TL.T), Singapore tael (TL.C), Taiwanese tael (TL.t), tical (t), Newton (N), gram with last digit suppressed (g2) Power requirement 12 VDC, 800 mA or integrated rechargeable battery Usable height of draft shield 76 mm Weighing pan, diameter 120 mm Balance dimensions without draft shield, H x W x D 80 x 170 x 245 mm Balance dimensions with draft shield, H x W x D 159 x 170 x 245 mm H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.Balances are measuring instruments used to determine the mass of an object, while scales are used to measure the weight of an object. The measurement results from balances are generally considered to be more precise compared to results from scales. Mechanical balances are the simplest type of balance, and use a lever and slide to indicate the measurement. Conventional balances are commonly used in offices, the jewelry industry, and in kitchens, and display results digitally, but are less precise than analytical balances. Analytical balances measure to a high degree of precision and accuracy (0.0001 g or better), and display results digitally. These balances have a cover with doors to prevent dust and airflow from affecting the measurement. Moisture balances analyze moisture content in a material sample, using infrared or halogen heat sources to dry the sample and then calculate the moisture content from the before- and after-drying weight, and display results digitally, on the balance, or transfer the information for display on a computer.Adam Equipment manufactures balances, scales, and related accessories for laboratory, educational, industrial, retail, and medical applications.

It is exactly what I needed at a price much lower than anywhere. Duh, isn't that why we shop on desertcart in the first place? The only drawback is that the software to transfer data through the USB cable is only available through the manufacturer and cost an extra $95. For the price a real winner. It has a great hook that come out of the bottom of the scale for doing suspended weights. I needed this feature especially to enable measuring density by Archimedes' method. Follow-up: January 31, 2013 I have used this scale for several months and it is plagued by having to keep pressing the tare button while weighing. The scale weight drifts as much as 300 mg in a day. The weight is not stable and therefore you can not trust what weights you measure with it. I could not find a way to contact the manufacturer for a fix on this problem. I have since purchased another scale as it is too late to return it to desertcart for a refund. The other scales that I also purchased from desertcart will hold their Zero whether the temperature in 90F or 30F without issue. Research my other reviews to find these products. The latest was a real nice balance, also with under-weighing hook, that holds the zero for several days so far. I do not recommend purchasing this scale unless you plan on testing it vigorously for the first 90 days while it is still under desertcart's return policy. The best factor that it has going for it is that you can use the USB port on a computer instead of RS-232. Review: Poor instructions and wrong assembly tool - This is a good balance, if and only if, you have experience working with analytical balances and you have specialized tools. The instructions that come with the balance are poor. Also, a special key-type wrench is needed to removed part of the packking material. The wrench sent with the balance was the wrong size. Fortunately, Ihad the correct size wrench. ## Features - Portable conventional balance with 1000 g capacity and 0.01 g readability (also known as accuracy) - Two-second settling time for increased productivity - Stainless steel 120 mm diameter weighing pan is corrosion resistant - Powered by the built-in rechargeable battery or included AC adapter, for increased mobility - Overload protection prevents damage to scale from too-heavy objects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0048BOVXY | | Best Sellers Rank | #442,257 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #287 in Lab Analytical Balances #32,741 in Mail Supplies & Shipping Supplies | | Brand | Adam Equipment | | Color | Model: HCB 1002 | | Date First Available | October 22, 2010 | | Department | Precision Scales | | Display Type | LCD | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 4.18 pounds | | Item model number | HCB 1002 | | Manufacturer | Adam Equipment | | Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Stainless Steel | | Product Dimensions | 15 x 11 x 6 inches | | Readout Accuracy | 0.01 Grams | | Special Feature | Backlit Display | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Weigh Scale Type | Balance Scale | | Weight Limit | 1 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Adam Equipment - **Color:** Model: HCB 1002 - **Display Type:** LCD - **Special Feature:** Backlit Display - **Weight Limit:** 1 Kilograms ## Images ![HCB 1002 Highland Portable Precision Balance, 1000g Capacity and 0.01g Readability - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FLIea1xuL.jpg) ![HCB 1002 Highland Portable Precision Balance, 1000g Capacity and 0.01g Readability - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41m0uDF99hL.jpg) ![HCB 1002 Highland Portable Precision Balance, 1000g Capacity and 0.01g Readability - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KwEUgTHpL.jpg) ![HCB 1002 Highland Portable Precision Balance, 1000g Capacity and 0.01g Readability - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51txXKKsaAL.jpg) ![HCB 1002 Highland Portable Precision Balance, 1000g Capacity and 0.01g Readability - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51i+Er1HrCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Low Cost High Precision and Bottom Weighing Too *by D***R on July 9, 2012* I purchased this on Amazon for less than I could get it from the manufacturer and free shipping too.

The instructions that come with the balance are poor. Also, a special key-type wrench is needed to removed part of the packking material. The wrench sent with the balance was the wrong size. Fortunately, Ihad the correct size wrench. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This scale is excellent! *by B***H on September 23, 2012* I was nervous getting a (relatively) inexpensive scale after my $600 Acculab scale died after 7 loyal years (due to a misguided attempt to clean it). This wasn't a major brand, and the price was only $300 and change. I planned to use it to weigh nutritional supplements for a diet formula we will soon be marketing. I couldn't be happier with this scale. It is better, and more accurate, than my Acculab scale has been for a long time. It warms up in seconds. I've tested it using weights and it was on the money every time. It just feels sturdy and reliable. My Acculab scale had a .001g readability and 300g capacity, but .01g was plenty accurate for my needs and I really appreciate the 600g capacity. I wish every purchase I made was this satisfying-- highly recommended! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/44983704-hcb-1002-highland-portable-precision-balance-1000g-capacity-and-0](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/44983704-hcb-1002-highland-portable-precision-balance-1000g-capacity-and-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
