Detecto® 420 series digital precision balance scales are Class II legal for trade, suitable for weighing herbs, cannabis, gourmet coffee and tea, jewels, and precious metals (gold and silver) in retail businesses with 10, 20, or 50 mg precision. The 420 series is NTEP and OIML legal for trade (excluding models 420-100 and 420-2000) and includes a built-in rechargeable battery and eight different units of measure. The scales feature a removable air shield for precise measurement (included with all models except 420-3000), and all models have a stainless steel platform measuring 5-11/16 in W x 4-1/2 in D (145 mm W x 115 mm D), except for the 420-3000 model, which has a larger platform measuring 7-3/8 in W x 5-13/16 in D (188 mm W x 148 mm D). Overall scale dimensions are 8-5/8 in W x 11-1/2 in D x 3-3/16 in H (219 mm W x 292 mm D x 80 mm H). The scales weigh in grams, kilograms, metric carats, avoirdupois drams, avoirdupois ounces, avoirdupois pounds, grains, and penny weight. They feature counting mode, accuracy to 10 milligrams, an RS232 serial port for printer output, a polycarbonate body with a stainless steel tray, and nearly one-inch-high (23-mm-high) bold digits with a blue backlight. The scales are intuitive and easy to use, making them ideal for weighing chemicals and powders in laboratories (schools, universities, industrial, and agricultural), weighing blood bags and patient medical waste samples in hospitals, pill counting in hospital pharmacies, recipe ingredients for baking (especially pastry shops), soap making, inventory counting for high-value items (electronic components, jewels), and counting prize tickets and game coins (tokens) at gaming centers.
