We consider a family of distance graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and find its independent numbers in some cases. Define graph $J_{\pm}(n,k,t)$ in the following way: the vertex set consists of all vectors from $\{-1,0,1\}^n$ with $k$ nonzero coordinates; edges connect the pairs of vertices with scalar product $t$. We find the independence number of $J_{\pm}(n,k,t)$ for $n > n_0 (k,t)$ in the cases $t = 0$ and $t = -1$; these cases for $k = 3$ are solved completely. Also the independence number is found for negative odd $t$ and $n > n_0 (k,t)$.
