Abstract
A balance is connectable to a display/operating unit () through a cable (). The display/operating unit () can be placed either adjacent to the housing () or at a distance from the housing (). For storing the unused length of cable (), a corridor compartment () with at least one exit opening () for the cable () is arranged at the bottom () of the balance housing (). When the cable () is pulled out or pushed in, it can move freely inside the corridor compartment (). The display/operating unit () is held in place at the balance housing () by means of an intermediate member () in an arrangement where the balance and the display/operating unit are resting independently of each other on a supporting surface.
