1 Getting to know JB balances (Gold and carat balances) 1.1 Introducing the JB line of balances • The JB (JEWELRY) balance line ranges from high-resolution carat balances (JB-L-C, JB-C/FACT) with a readability of 0.01 ct / 0.01 g to 0.001 ct / 0.0001 g through to precision gold balances (JB-L-G, JB-G/ FACT) with a readability of 0.01 g to 0.1 g. The weighing ranges extend from 140 g to 8.1 kg. JB-L-G, JB-G/FACT • The operation of all theses balances is identical.

1.3 Overview of key functions The balances have two operator control levels: the weighing mode and the menu. The function of each individual key depends on the operator control level and how long the key is pressed. Weighing mode Key functions in weighing mode 0.

2.4 Setting up, leveling, preparations for weighing below the balance, connecting to power supply The optimum location The correct location makes an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing results of high-resolution balances.
Leveling JB balances have a spirit level and two adjustable leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface of the weighing bench. The balance is exactly horizontal when the air bubble is in the middle of the level glass.
Adjusting (calibration) To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational acceleration at its location. Adjusting is necessary • before the balance is used for the first time • at regular intervals during weighing service • after a change of location 2.5.
