Abstract
A balance (1) with a housing (3) containing the weighing mechanism and associated electronic components has at least three positioning feet (5, 5′) to stand on a supporting surface (20), at least two of the positioning feet (5) being height-adjustable for setting the balance (1) into a level position. In addition, the balance (1) has at least one stabilizer foot (6, 106) which can be locked and unlocked, so that for adjusting the level position of the balance, the stabilizer foot is released and thereby enabled to stay in contact with the supporting surface (20), and after the level adjustment of the balance has been completed, the stabilizer foot is locked in place to secure the stability of the balance (1) in its set position.
