The ZM405 is an entry-level Lua programmable indicator that allows process steps to be modified to meet customer requirements. This and flexible print formatting make this indicator an ideal fit for process weighing applications such as filling, batching, and in-motion Checkweighing to Truck, Bench, and Floor scale systems.
ZM405 Weight Indicator
A multi-functional weight indicator for industrial applications requiring advanced weighing routines and high connectivity.

Overview
The ZM405 Weight Indicator is highly programmable and tailored for diverse food processing and industrial weighing applications, offering advanced weighing routines and enhanced connectivity.
This weight indicator has a dedicated small Graphic Array display to the right of the main display, perfect for displaying simple graphics or symbols to aid the operator. It is capable of running single or dual base platforms both anlog and digital.
The ZM405 is available in 2 versions. The ZM405 IP69K Stainless steel Enclosure with IBN weight display offers complete protection against water and dust ingress, along with resistance to high pressure cleaning, making it ideal for use in any indoor/outdoor, dusty/wet environments or in food processing areas where high pressure cleaning is essential. The ZM405 IP66 panel mounted model with IBN display also offers high resistance to dust and water, designed specifically for easy installation in control panels or control room applications.
Each ZM405 Weight Indicator features:
A high contrast, 7-digit nine segments 0.8″ (20mm) high digits IBN display provides excellent color contrast and enhanced viewing angles. There is also a small side Graphic Array display area that can be used to display various fixed and customizable annunciators/graphics to aid operators.
With its 10v excitation and 10,000d legal for trade approval, the ZM405 is suitable for any single or dual base system, making it perfect for businesses that trade by weight. It is designed to connect up to most analog truck scales, bench scales, floor scales and hopper systems. This indicator can drive two scales with up to 16 x 350-ohm load cells or up to two BSQ bases. It is approved for use in a wide range of global regions (NTEP /Measurement in Canada, UK/EC/OIML).
