The Dune Compact Balance keeps things simple: three buttons (on/off, units, tare) and a large, high-contrast display that's easy to read from across a room. Sturdy ABS construction and a sealed keypad mean it copes well with classrooms, kitchens, and field use alike, and the platform pan lifts off in seconds for cleaning.

Straightforward operation, low-profile design

Display and controls

The high-contrast LCD is easy to read from a distance, and colour-coded keys make the most-used buttons quick to find. Zero-tracking keeps the display accurate between uses, and both overload and low-battery indicators warn you before something goes wrong.

Power

An AC adapter is included, and the Dune also runs on 6 x AA batteries (not included) for cordless use in the field or a classroom without easy power access.

Where you'll actually use it

The Dune's simple, rugged design suits a wide range of settings:

  • Science, chemistry, physics and biology classrooms
  • General laboratory and office benches
  • Kitchens and food preparation areas
  • Veterinary facilities, for weighing samples and specimens

Choosing your capacity

The Dune comes in three capacities: 200g at 0.1g readability, 2000g at 1g, and 5000g at 2g. All three share the same 145 x 145mm pan and housing, so choose based on the heaviest single item you expect to weigh regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Dune balance come with a power adapter?

Yes, the AC adapter is included in the box. Batteries (6 x AA) are supported as an alternative power source but are not included.

What's the difference between the DCT201, DCT2000, and DCT5000?

They're the same balance across three capacities: 200g at 0.1g readability, 2000g at 1g, and 5000g at 2g. All three share the same 145 x 145mm pan and housing.

Can the Dune balance handle spills or dusty environments?

It has a sealed keypad to keep dirt and spills out of the controls, and the pan lifts off for quick cleaning. It's built for field, classroom, and workshop use rather than as a fully washdown-rated scale.

How do I calibrate the Dune balance?

It uses external calibration: you place a known calibration weight on the pan and confirm via the keypad. It doesn't have automatic internal calibration.
