Ten sets of counting scales were recently supplied by Accuweigh’s Port Adelaide branch to SA’s Gilles Plains branch of the Royal Society For The Blind.
The counting scales were fitted with high visibility remote displays to enable them to be operated by sight impaired workers.
Most portable counting scales utilise power saving LCD displays for extended battery operation, but unfortunately this type of display can be hard to read by the sight impaired. To overcome this potential problem, Accuweigh’s Zac Bartolovic also supplied high visibility remote displays with the counting scales.
A&D’s 8920 remote displays were selected as they use bright blue Vacuum Fluorescent digits which are highly visible under all ambient lighting conditions and were ideal for this counting scale application. The remotes were connected to the ten sets of A&D HC counting scales by serial cables and installed in direct line of sight of the operators for clear reading.
