Table Scale KERN & SOHN IoT-Line FCB 6K-5 — 6 kg capacity, stainless steel plate, LCD display

KERN & SOHN IoT-Line FCB 6K-5 is a compact table scale with a stainless steel weighing plate and a maximum capacity of 6 kg. The model includes an easy-to-read LCD display with 2.5 cm high digits and is designed for everyday weighing tasks in kitchens, retail counters, laboratories and small production environments. Power is provided via an external adapter, and the stainless steel plate ensures simple cleaning and good resistance to routine use.

Advantages

The stainless steel plate provides a hygienic, robust surface that is easy to wipe clean. The clear LCD with 2.5 cm digits allows fast visual reading of measured values. The scale’s compact tabletop format saves space on counters and workbenches while supporting accurate weighing for small-batch tasks. External adapter power removes the need for frequent battery changes and supports uninterrupted operation during longer work sessions.

Suitable for

• Food preparation in home kitchens and small catering operations
• Retail sales at counters for portioning and pricing
• Small laboratories and educational settings requiring routine weighing
• Small-scale production and quality control of lightweight items

When it may not be suitable

This table scale is designed for applications up to 6 kg and is not suitable for weighing heavier objects or bulk items that exceed its maximum capacity. It is intended for precise small to medium loads; for highly specialized laboratory analyses that require certified calibration or legal-for-trade approval, a model with explicit certification and traceable calibration documents should be selected instead.

Key specifications

• Maximum capacity: 6 kg
• Weighing plate material: stainless steel
• Display type: LCD with 2.5 cm digits
• Power supply: external adapter (included as per manufacturer information)
• Design: compact tabletop housing suitable for counters and benches

How to use

Place the scale on a stable, level surface and ensure the weighing plate is clean and free of debris. Connect the external adapter to a suitable mains outlet and switch the unit on. Allow the display to stabilise, then tare the scale if you are using containers. Place the item to be weighed on the stainless steel plate and read the value from the LCD display. For repeated measurements, remove items and use the tare function as needed. After use, switch off and clean the plate with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.

What to consider before purchase

• Required maximum load — the scale supports up to 6 kg; choose a higher-capacity model if you regularly weigh heavier items
• Level of measurement precision needed — verify that the readout resolution meets your application requirements
• Power source availability — the unit uses an external adapter rather than internal batteries for primary power
• Need for certification — this model may not include legal-for-trade approval or laboratory certification; check if certified calibration is required

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the scale away from drafts, vibrations and direct sunlight. Regularly clean the stainless steel plate and perform routine checks with a known weight to verify stability. If you require traceable calibration for professional use, arrange calibration by an accredited service provider.
