A precision balance including a weighing chamber (); a draft shield (), which surrounds the weighing chamber (); a climate module (), which is detachably disposed in the weighing chamber (); a processor () and a data input unit, which both form part of the overall precision balance; and a data transmission path, over which data is exchanged between the climate module () and the processor (). Also disclosed is a climate module for a precision balance. The climate module () forms a self-contained modular unit and includes an air pressure sensor (), an air humidity sensor () and an air temperature sensor () The climate module also includes a data transmission path configured to transmit data to a processor external to the climate module, and a mounting mechanism configured to secure the climate module detachably to a weighing module ().

Precision scale having a removable climate module

A balance with a load changing device () that has a magazine table, mounted to be horizontally movable and having a plurality of vertical openings () arranged in groups. The balance () has a load cell () and a load receptor () with a carrier arrangement () corresponding to each of the groups of openings. The magazine table and the balance are height adjustable relative to each other. In a weighing position, a group of openings above the load receptor is penetrated by the carrier arrangement. In a changing position, the carrier arrangement is positioned lower than the openings in the magazine table. The magazine table is mounted at a fixed height relative to a base (), and the balance is height adjustable relative to the base. The travel of the balance is upwardly limited by a stop (), which is at a fixed height relative to the base.
