Description
Interface KIB-A02 is an Ethernet interface that connects laboratory balances to an IP-based Ethernet network. The module enables network integration of compatible weighing instruments and is not retrofittable, so it must be specified as part of the original configuration. Offered as a single piece by manufacturer Kern, the KIB-A02 supports modern laboratory data handling by linking balances into existing Ethernet infrastructures for communication and data transfer. With a net weight of 0,05 kg and a gross weight of 0,10 kg, the compact interface fits neatly into professional weighing setups. Packaging measures 0,055 m in height, 0,175 m in width and 0,1 m in depth, corresponding to a packaging volume of 0,0009625 m³. Laboratories benefit from direct IP network connectivity when configuring balances for networked environments. The interface is intended for systems where Ethernet networking is required from the outset, ensuring reliable instrument-to-network communication. It is a practical accessory for research, quality-control and production laboratories that rely on IP-based data exchange with their weighing equipment.

Questions about interface KIB-A02
What is this article?
interface KIB-A02 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
These are the draft shields, the pans, the ionisers, the printers and the calibration certificates that belong to a balance. A certificate states the errors found at stated loads. It does not make a different balance correct.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Balances & scales. The sub-category is Balance accessories, calibration & certificates. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Calibration & test weights, Precision balances, Bench, platform & industrial scales, Analytical balances and Moisture analysers.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
