    What to do if the Cardinal 225 indicator is attempting to display a number greater than seven digits?
    • R
      robinsonstephenSep 10, 2025
      If the Cardinal Scales indicator attempts to display a number exceeding the digit limit, this may indicate miscalibration. Return to Gross Weight mode and review the Tare value.

    What to do if motion is present when trying to power up, print, zero or perform a push button tare function on Cardinal 225 Scales?
    • M
      Madison JonesSep 8, 2025
      If there is motion present while attempting to power up, print, zero, or perform a push-button tare function on Cardinal Scales, wait for a stable weight display (STABLE symbol on) before performing any of these operations.

    What to do if Cardinal Accessories scale shows OVERCAP?
    • M
      Mariah LopezAug 22, 2025
      If your Cardinal Accessories scale displays 'OVERCAP', it means the load on the scale exceeds its capacity, possibly due to miscalibration. Remove the excess weight from the scale. If the problem persists, it's advisable to consult a scale service provider for recalibration.

    What to do if the load cell input is below the allowed range of the Cardinal 225 Scales indicator?
    • R
      Richard ChambersSep 4, 2025
      If the load cell input is below the allowed range, this may indicate a load cell or circuit failure. Check for improper load cell wiring and ensure the output is between 1 to 40mV.

    • D
      Dennis ThomasSep 3, 2025
      If the load cell input exceeds the indicator's allowed range, it may be caused by load cell or circuit failure. Check for improper load cell wiring, excessive load, and verify the output is between 1 to 40mV.

    Why is Cardinal Scales displaying incorrect weight?
    • D
      Dawn MeadowsSep 2, 2025
      Several factors can cause Cardinal Scales to display an incorrect weight: * Verify the indicator has been calibrated. * Ensure the scale platform isn't touching any adjacent objects. * Check the load cell connector wiring. * If using four-wire load cells, ensure the sense lead jumper (J9) is installed. * Confirm proper operating procedures are being followed.

    What to do if Cardinal Scales display does not turn on?
    • P
      Paul MartinSep 1, 2025
      If the Cardinal Scales display doesn't turn on: * Ensure the AC power cord is fully inserted into the wall receptacle. * Check the wall receptacle for proper AC power by testing with another electrical appliance. * Check the circuit breaker. * Consider if there has been a power failure.

    How to fix CAL LOST CONFIG REQUIRED on Cardinal Accessories?
    • S
      slewisAug 29, 2025
      The 'CAL LOST CONFIG REQUIRED SCALE X' error on your Cardinal Accessories indicates an EEPROM checksum failure, meaning the stored calibration data is improper. You will need to recalibrate the scale using a calibrated test weight.
