Hi. Has anyone purchased a Sartorius GD503 and received it in the "legal for trade" mode? I got a good deal on one from a Jewelry tool shop, but didn't know anything about this particular certification. Apparently, there's a switch under a tamper-sealed door that will allow it to be user calibrated, but this voids the certification. My problem is that it will only read in grams and carats, as those are the only units allowed under the certification. I've read the manual, found where I'd normally go to change it, but the options simply aren't available to select in the menu. I'm betting that flipping that switch will allow it, but I'd hate to void the certification, then be unable to return it. The worrisome part is that the Sartorius website states: "Can be toggled at the touch of a key between any 2 of 16 mass units, such as g and ozt or dwt and ct, etc. (legal-for-trade models may only be toggled between ct and g as required by legal metrology standards)" It says "models," not just units that are switched into that mode.
I'll call the place Monday to see what the deal is, but I was really stoked to receive it the same day I found out it shipped, and my other scale quit working, too. If anyone knows or has run into this before, I'd sure appreciate any light you can shed on it. Thanks!
