Ohaus Trade Approved Scales, SJX1502M, 1500g / 0.1g

The Ohaus SJX1502M Full-Size Table Balance is a professional precision balance approved by Trading Standards for use in trade when buying precious metals by weight.

Designed for jewellers, gold buyers and precious metal professionals, this Class II approved balance provides confidence and accuracy when weighing valuable materials. Unlike older approved balances that may have restrictions on where they can be used, the Ohaus SJX1502M can be transported and used anywhere for compliant precious metal purchasing.

The balance has a 1,500g capacity and offers different levels of readability depending on the application:

• For your own information: 1500g / 0.001g readability
• For trade use when buying precious metals: 1500g / 0.1g readability (the balance displays finer increments, but the final decimal place should be ignored for approved trade weighing)

Compact, lightweight and built for professional environments, the SJX1502M combines portability with durability. It features superior overload protection, capable of handling accidental loads far beyond normal use, helping protect the balance during busy workshop conditions.

Advanced weighing functions

The Ohaus SJX1502M includes a range of useful features beyond standard weighing:

Parts Counting
Count multiple identical small items quickly and accurately. Simply weigh a sample quantity (such as 20, 50 or 100 pieces), then add more items and the balance displays the number of pieces rather than the weight.

Percentage Weighing
Compare items against a reference sample. Once a sample has been set, the balance displays how much heavier or lighter each item is as a percentage.

Check Weighing
Set upper and lower weight limits and quickly identify whether items fall within the required range. The display indicates whether a weight is too low, too high or within tolerance.

Totalising
Add multiple items together while keeping track of the combined total weight.

Customisable Modes
The MODE button can be configured so only the functions you use are displayed, keeping operation simple and avoiding unnecessary menus.
