Scale Error Reporting
Scale diagnostics uses the optional Remote Scale Display and the Zero Status
lamp to communicate specific scale failures.
The following chart shows the Remote Display messages, the Scale Status lamp
indication, the problem that the scale is experiencing and what action should
be taken. When troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connec
-
tions first before proceeding with other problem isolation steps.
This does not apply to Adaptive Scale models.
