Customers often ask about the term washdown and can the scale get wet? With the 500RF, the answer is the weight indicator can not get wet. It is not designed for that. The scale platform can get some water on it and it should not cause any issues. You can not submerge the scale platform in water. It is best to make sure the load cell located inside of the scale platform does not get wet.

Is this scale washdown? The weight indicator is not. If water resistance is really important to your application, we suggest you take a look at some of our "waterproof" stainless steel bench scales which feature some IP69K rated enclosures. The 500RF scale platform is a painted steel weighing platform with stainless steel cover. This should work well for any basic weighing that you might do at a fishing tournament.
Does this scale display weight in lb:oz? No
If I place an order, how long before I receive the scale? These scales normally ship from NC within 3-4 business days after the order is placed.
Does the scale have a hold function? Yes the scale has a hold function. You can choose to use that function or not. It's best to let us know when ordering if you want the hold function turned on or off so we can do that while we are setting the scale up.
Is this scale NTEP certified? Both the weight indicator and the scale base have earned NTEP certificate of conformance numbers.
Where is this scale made? Overseas, either Taiwan or China, depending on availability.
What makes this scale a good choice? The 500RF scale system features a better scale platform than the Sportsman. It features adjustable feet and better overall construction. This scale is a good overall choice for most bass fishing clubs. It really comes down to what features you want or need and what your club's budget is going to be for the set of scales.
