Description
Protective working cover KERN FOB-A13 is a balance accessory that protects both the keyboard and the housing of compatible weighing instruments. By covering these exposed surfaces, the cover helps keep controls and casing free from dust, residues, and everyday handling marks in laboratory or industrial settings. It is supplied as a single piece and forms part of the KERN FOB accessory line for routine instrument care. The unit has a net weight of 0,05 kg and ships in compact packaging, making it convenient to keep as a dedicated spare at the weighing station. In environments where balances are used frequently—such as sample preparation, production checks, or quality laboratories—a fitted protective cover supports cleaner operation and reduces the need for repeated surface cleaning of keys and housing. This protective working cover from manufacturer Kern is intended for users who require targeted protection over the control panel and body of FOB-series instruments. Its focused design over keyboard and housing makes it a practical addition to any workstation equipped with matching KERN balances.

Questions about Protective Working Cover KERN FOB-A13
What is this article?
Protective Working Cover KERN FOB-A13 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.
