Offering a combination of features including sensors for “touchless” operation, ultra-fast response time and superior overload protection the Navigator XT balance is suitable for a wide variety of weighing needs in various markets including the industrial, food and laboratory industries. Designed with two touchless sensors that free up operators’ hands, this feature prevents a loss of focus when delicate or critical samples are being weighed. The touch-free control of tare, zero, print, and function operations as well as the display backlight help to minimize keypad touches, thereby avoiding cross-contamination or unwanted residue on the balance. The sensors prolong the life of the instrument by minimizing the need to press the keypad with a hand, tool or foreign object.
