With the vibration adapter, the balance can be adjusted to the weighing environment - for optimal weighing performance even in difficult environments.
Additional features include:
Robust quality: The full metal housing protects the weighing cell and electronics in your balance. The draft shield can be opened wide for easy access and fulfills highest ergonomic standards.

"Legal For Trade", also known as approved, which is required in applications where the product is sold by weight. All "Legal For Trade" balances have undergone independent testing to verify the scale meets the manufacturer's specifications.
Weights & Measures Inspectors require the accuracy of all the commercial weighing and measuring equipment used for serving consumers and businesses be Legal for Trade. Some have a requirement saying a scale is suitable for its intended use if the minimum load which will be weighed on it is 50 measurement divisions or more. A scale whose smallest division is 0.001 carat is suitable for minimum loads of 0.05 carats. The Mettler Toledo JB703-C/A-F fits the requirement since the balance increments in 0.001 carat divisions.
Mettler Toledo JB series gem scales have standard motorized internal calibration (Fully Automatic Calibration Technology - FACT). The rugged metal housing ensures
a long operating life and minimal
maintenance costs. The backlit
display ensures that results can
always be read clearly. As an added layer of protection each balance comes with a protective transparent cover made from Barex which covers the main housing of the balance.
The vibration adapter can be used to match your balance to the ambient conditions (vibrations, drafts at location). If you work in surroundings which are practically free from temperature fluctuations, drafts, and vibrations, select “StabLE”. On the other hand, if you work in surroundings where the conditions are constantly changing, select “unStAbLE”. For normal ambient conditions, select “UnivErS” (Standard). This is the factory setting.
These jewelry scales weigh units in grams or carats, and are legal for trade. Other functions include piece counting and percent weighing.

Below we have provided a chart that explains what these different characters stand for to eliminate confusion.
