External calibration weights are separate. Optional BM-08 Ethernet replaces Quick USB; the two cannot operate together. Bluetooth requires a separate converter.
AD-1653 density kit, BM-014 pipette-testing kit, replacement ionizer electrode pins, printers and separate underhook suspension accessories are optional.
Photos show representative BM-family configurations; pan and display details can differ. The specified Ø90 mm pan applies to this BM-252. The sample flask and its contents illustrate use and are not included.
