Abstract
A balance ( ) has a balance housing ( ) and an operator panel ( ). The operator panel ( ) cooperates with the balance housing ( ) and is connected, or connectable, to the latter in such a manner that the operator panel ( ) can be folded up from a working position into a rest position ( ′) by rotation about a pivot axis (A) that runs essentially parallel to the balance housing ( ). The mechanical connection is made through a pivoting arrangement which allows the operator panel ( ) to rest firmly on a supporting surface, independent of the level adjustment of the balance housing ( ). Furthermore, the operator panel ( ) is configured to be completely detachable from the balance housing ( ). Electrical signals are transmitted either through a cable or by a wireless mode of communication.
