The 420 series is NTEP and OIML legal for trade (excluding models 420-100 and 420-2000) and features a built-in rechargeable battery included and eight different units of measure.
The scales come with a removeable air shield for precise measurement (included with all models except 420-3000). The stainless steel platform size is 5.7 in W x 4.5 in D (145 mm W x 115 mm D) for all models, except for the model 420-3000, which has a larger platform: 7.4 in W x 5.8 in D (188 mm W x 148 mm D). Overall scale dimensions are 8.6 in W x 11.5 in D x 3.2 in H (219 mm W x 292 mm D x 80 mm H).
420 series scales weigh in grams, kilograms, metric carats, avoirdupois drams, avoirdupois ounces, avoirdupois pounds, grains, and penny weight. The scales features counting mode, accuracy to 10 milligrams, RS232 serial port for printer output, polycarbonate body with stainless steel tray, nearly one-inch-high (23-mm-high) bold digits with blue backlight, and they are intuitive and easy to use.
