    What to do if my Cardinal 200 scale shows oCAP error?
    • B
      bakerjenniferAug 16, 2025
      If the Cardinal accessory displays 'oCAP (over Capacity)', it means the load on the scale exceeds its capacity plus nine divisions. Remove the excess load from the scale. This issue might also indicate an incorrect calibration.

    Why does my Cardinal 200 scale show -oF- (overflow)?
    • K
      Karen MccoyAug 19, 2025
      If your Cardinal accessory displays '-oF- (overflow)', the indicator is trying to display a positive number greater than six digits or a negative number of more than five digits. Switch back to Gross Weight mode and check the Tare value. This might also mean the calibration is off.

      johnsonjamesAug 22, 2025
      If the Cardinal accessory displays 'ErrAh (Error Analog high)', it means the load cell input is above the range of the indicator. Check for improper load cell wiring, excessive load, and ensure the output is between 1 to 40mV. Another possible cause is load cell or circuit failure.

    • A
      Andrea BaldwinAug 28, 2025
      If the Cardinal accessory displays 'UnStb (Unstable)', it means there is motion present when trying to perform a print function. Wait for a stable weight display, indicated by the STABLE annunciator being on, before printing.

      Joseph LucasAug 31, 2025
      If the Cardinal accessory display does not turn on, ensure the AC power cord is fully inserted into the wall receptacle. Check the wall receptacle for proper AC power by testing it with another electrical appliance. Also, check the circuit breaker and see if there has been a power failure.

    • S
      Sylvia McbrideSep 3, 2025
      If the Cardinal accessory displays 'CALbtn' on power-up, the calibration switch is either pressed in by the operator or is defective. Release the switch. If the problem persists, the calibration switch assembly may need replacement.

    Why is my Cardinal Accessories displaying an incorrect weight?
    • H
      hwarrenSep 6, 2025
      If the Cardinal accessory is displaying an incorrect weight, ensure the indicator has been calibrated. Make sure the scale platform isn't touching anything. Check the load cell connector wiring. If using four-wire load cells, ensure the sense lead jumpers (J4 & J5) are installed. Verify that you are following proper operating procedures.
