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.
ZM401 Weight Indicator
A durable, programmable weight indicator with a simplified keypad overlay.

Overview
The ZM401 weight indicator is fully programable, designed for a wide range of simple food processing and industrial weighing applications that require advanced weighing routines and a higher level of connectivity.
The ZM401 weight indicator features a small Graphic Array display to the right of the main screen, making it ideal for displaying simple graphics or symbols to assist the operator. Its versatility allows it to support both single and dual base platforms, whether analog or digital. Encased in a durable IP69K stainless steel enclosure, it includes an IBN weight display, and a simpered keypad overlay for safety and simplicity.
