What to do if my Brecknell PS-500 Scales will not turn on?
If your Brecknell Scales won't turn on, verify that the power cord is correctly connected to both the scale and a functioning power outlet. Check the power source. If it's still not working, replace the batteries or seek professional service, as there may be another failure.
Why can't I zero the display on my Brecknell Scales?
If you cannot zero the display on your Brecknell Scales, it may be due to several reasons. The load on the scale might exceed the allowable limits, or the load might not be stable. Remove any load from the scale and wait for it to stabilize. If the issue persists, the load cell may be damaged, requiring professional service.
What does '0' with dashes mean on my Brecknell PS-500 Scales?
If your Brecknell Scales display '0' followed by dashes, it means the weight reading exceeds the Power On Zero limit. Ensure the scale platform is empty and perform a zero calibration.
What does '0' with underlines mean on my Brecknell PS-500 Scales?
If your Brecknell Scales display '0' followed by underlines, it means the weight reading is below the Power On Zero limit. Install the platform on the scale and perform a zero calibration.
What to do if my Brecknell PS-500 Scales show all dashes?
If your Brecknell Scales display all dashes, it indicates that the weight reading exceeds the overload limit, or the weight value is too large to be displayed in the current unit of measure. Reduce the load on the scale until the weight value can be displayed, or switch to a more appropriate unit of measure.
How to fix CAL.Er error on Brecknell PS-500?
The CAL.Er error on Brecknell Scales indicates a calibration error. This can occur if the input data or the loaded weight is too small, too big, unstable, or non-linear. Input the correct data and ensure the correct weight is loaded onto the platform. If the error persists, service is required.
What does 'Ad' mean on my Brecknell PS-500 display?
The 'Ad' error on your Brecknell Scales display indicates that the loadcell wires to the indicator are incorrectly connected, shorted, or opened, or the ADC or loadcell(s) are damaged. Ensure the wires are correctly connected and in good condition. If the problem continues, the loadcell or ADC chip may need to be replaced, requiring professional service.
What does EEP.E2 mean on Brecknell Scales?
The EEP.E2 error code on Brecknell Scales indicates that a parameter is not correctly set. To resolve this, re-set the parameter.
What does underlines mean on my Brecknell PS-500 Scales?
If your Brecknell Scales display underlines, it means the weight reading is below the under load limit. Install the platform on the scale and perform a zero calibration.
