Avery Weigh-Tronix ZM301 is an everyday indicator for common industrial weighing applications. This high performance, multi-function indicator will analyze, store, display and transmit data, providing you with greater visibility of weighing performance.
The ZM301 indicator features the latest technological advancement for highly visible displays. The high contrast, nine segment IBN display technology provides excellent color contrast and enhanced viewing angles, reducing operator error and improving productivity.
The ZM301 captures values at an astounding rate of 80 times per second and is available in a variety of enclosures to suit your operating environment:
The ZM301 offers multi-connectivity, with Ethernet, RS232 and a USB Host port as standard and Analog output, USB device, Current Loop, RS485/RS422 and Wireless options available.
Harmonizer™ adjustable filtering system
The fully adjustable Harmonizer™ filtering system, which is present on all ZM300 series models, corrects environmental noise and vibration. It offers three types of application-specific filtering: multiple levels of filtering for vibration frequency, adjustment for amplitude, and finally a selectable “threshold,” or a level of weight change at which the dampening is disabled. This speeds up the weighing process, quickly identifying any weight changes that exceed the selected threshold value.
Remote operation
ZM300 series indicators can be used as remote displays, enabling easy and convenient viewing of weight information where you need it. Remote push buttons or foot controls can be attached to all the ZM300 series indicators, improving productivity by enabling operators to activate the indicator remotely in order to perform Zero, Print, Tare, Units, or F1 functions.
IP69K Certification
Amongst the range of enclosures available, the laboratory certified IP69K stainless steel enclosure offers complete resistance to dust and water ingress. This certification offers users reassurance that the product is suitable for use in high pressure, heavy washdown and dust-prone applications.
IP69K GORE® Vent
In food applications, indicators may be subject to rapid temperature change, whether due to operating conditions or wash down procedures. Extremes of temperature inside and outside the enclosure can result in expansion and contraction of gases, which in turn can lead to moisture and humidity becoming trapped inside. To avoid this issue, the Avery WeighTronix IP69K certified indicators are fitted with GORE® Vent technology; a membrane which allows the indicator to breathe without compromising the IP69K enclosure. This industrial, food-grade technology guarantees no down time due to water ingress.
Connectivity
The ZM300 series of indicators offers multi-connectivity, ensuring compatibility and communication between old and new peripheral technologies. An Ethernet port is included as standard, supporting fast and efficient data transfer both locally or across the globe via an IP network, while two RS232 serial interface ports provide for data transfer to older equipment. A USB host port facilitates communication with printer hardware as well as offering the option of using a USB storage device to transfer data to a back office PC for integration and management. Analog output, USB device, Current Loop, RS485/ RS422 and Ethernet wireless options are also available, enabling you to utilize the same user-friendly interface for numerous applications with a range of connectivity options to suit your business requirements.

The ZM300 series, with the exclusion of the ZM305 GTN Inbound-Outbound, features a range of built-in applications, making them truly multifunctional and ideal to provide a common product for multiple solutions. The simple to use keypads allow users to view or change the parameters for all normal weighing operations: push-button tare; keypad tare entry; setpoint registers; checkweighing ; identification number; start and stop.
GENERAL WEIGHING
By linking the ZM300 indicators to a simple weighing platform such as a floor or bench scale, the multifunction indicators can be used for basic everyday weighing, including the ability to accumulate, store and recall transactions.
IN-MOTION WEIGHING
The ZM305 Standard is suitable for in–motion weighing, using two inputs that signal when an object enters and exits the weighing zone. The ZM305 Standard is ideal for applications such as monorail or conveyor weighing. The system’s built-in Harmonizer™ filtering system adjusts to account for the noise and vibration that is a natural part of many weighing applications.
CHECKWEIGHING
The brightly lit display also includes a multi-segment graph. This provides a fast visual weight indication, allowing operators to instantly verify whether products are over, under or within target weight ranges.
PEAK WEIGHT
If a maximum weight reading is required, the ZM300 series can capture and display the peak measurement of stable weights.
PROCESS CONTROL
The multi-segmented graph can be used as a filling status annunciator and is equipped with three setpoint controls to interface with relays for automated mixing or blending
COUNTING ROUTINES
Built-in counting routine software allows the ZM303 or ZM305 Standard indicators to be paired with floor or bench scales to precisely count high volumes of identical parts.
ZM301
The ZM301 is a simple-to-operate, weight-reading indicator, with high-speed value capturing capabilities of up to 80 times per second. Equipped with six operational keys, including Zero, Print, Units, Tare, Select and F1, the ZM301 has built-in operational routines - enabling users to configure the device for individual weighing needs. Available with aluminum, IP69K stainless steel and panel mount enclosures, the ZM301 features an IBN display, making it ideal for use in direct sunlight.
ZM303
The ZM303 features a numeric keyboard, as well as clearly-displayed buttons for common weighing requirements, such as counting, check-weighing and process control, allowing users to quickly switch between applications. Both aluminum and IP69K stainless steel enclosures are available with IBN and TN display technology, making them suitable for a range of indoor or outdoor applications.
