The Thermo Scientific AC4000i and AC9000-plus retrofit kits are designed to replace the electronics on older checkweighing systems while maintaining the existing mechanical material handling properties. This allows you the opportunity to upgrade your checkweigher with a state of the art electronic control without incurring the expense of a new mechanical frame and reworking your existing line.
New Electronics
The current PC based electronics of the AC4000i and AC9000-plus make these checkweighers more accurate, more reliable, and simpler for your operators to use. There are no mechanical dip switches to set or wear out. The advanced self-diagnostics of the AC4000i and AC9000-plus aid in alerting operators of possible malfunctions.
While virtually any older Icore or Ramsey controller can be replaced with either the 4000i or the 9000-plus, the most logical upgrade, providing similar, though enhanced, levels of features, options and functionality, are as shown in the table below:

New Loadcell
Depending on the age of your existing system you may require the addition of our latest technology standard state of the art loadcell. These loadcells have no moving parts to adjust and are virtually unaffected by temperature changes.
Peripheral Advancements
The retrofit kit will also include an infrared photoeye and brackets for mounting to the existing frame. These photoeyes allow for precise tracking and measurement of package speed and size, thus ensuring optimum weighing from your checkweighing system.
Installation
Installation of retrofit kits is simple and straightforward but assistance from a factory trained Thermo technician is recommended – this can be provided on a fixed-cost basis. Alternatively, we will be happy to perform the upgrade, and also checkout conveyor systems (that are still supported) at our factory in Minneapolis, USA, Parma, Italy or Shanghai, China…or at one of our many service centers worldwide.
