Description
Converter KERN YKI-11 connects balances, force-measuring instruments and comparable devices fitted with an RS-232 data interface to an IP-based Ethernet network. Direct integration into most corporate networks is supported, with automatic configuration via DHCP or static IP allocation, allowing current measurement values to be retrieved from the entire network at any time. Configuration is handled flexibly through the web interface, and the converter is compatible with KERN BalanceConnection software. Designed for wall mounting or freestanding use, the unit from manufacturer Kern is delivered as an RS-232/Ethernet converter with two RS-232 ports and an EU mains adapter. The dual ports allow two balances or measuring instruments to be connected and managed in parallel. Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,20 kg and a gross weight of 0,40 kg, it offers a compact solution for laboratories and industrial sites that need simultaneous network access for multiple RS-232 instruments without replacing existing hardware.

Questions about Converter KERN YKI-11
What is this article?
Converter KERN YKI-11 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.
