This scale is designed for use in hazardous environments
The QuickSilver IS (intrinsically safe) is a bench scale that is designed for general weighing, checkweighing, filling, manual batching and grading applications that must operate in hazardous environments, where low energy usage is required during normal operation. It is approved for all hazardous area groups, classes and divisions when used with its rechargeable battery. The removeable, rechargeable battery pack provides up to 65 h of continuous operation, and 250 h when the sleep mode function is used. When used with a direct power supply, the QuickSilver IS is not approved for Groups A and B, notes the company. — Fairbanks Scales, Kansas City, Mo.
