How to check if my Doran Scales 4300 weight readings are correct?
- V
  Virginia GriffinAug 20, 2025
  If the weight readings on your Doran Scales Scales seem incorrect, verify the scale's accuracy using a test weight. If necessary, recalibrate the scale.

What to do if my Doran Scales Scales shows "ovr-Ld" Scale overload?
- F
  frenchamandaAug 22, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales displays an "ovr-Ld" error, it indicates an overload. Verify that the platform stops are correctly set and that there are no foreign objects restraining the load cell movement. Remove all weight from the scale and recalibrate it.

Why won't my Doran Scales 4300 Scales go to zero when I press the ZERO button?

  linda01Aug 25, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales won't zero when you press the ZERO button, ensure the scale is stable (the "MOT" enunciator is off). Also, verify that the ZERO button functions while in the setup mode. It may also be necessary to activate the latching zero feature (ZOd) or lengthen the filter time (Av A32). There may be a problem with the touch-panel or main board.

Why is the reading on my Doran Scales Scales bouncing?
- C
  Christopher JordanAug 26, 2025
  If the reading on your Doran Scales Scales is bouncing or "flighty", it could be due to air currents and/or vibration around the scale. If this is the case, increase the Digital Averaging setting to stabilize the reading.

Why does my Doran Scales 4300 keep drifting off of zero?
- L
  Laura CaseyAug 28, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales drifts off zero, it may be due to air currents and/or vibration around the scale. If that's the cause, you might need to set the AZT aperture to a wider setting to compensate.

Why is my Doran Scales 4300 Scales overloading early?
- L
  leah13Aug 30, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales overloads early, it's possible the scale is being shock-loaded, causing the load cell to shift. Ensure all four corner overload stops are properly set, if present. To check, remove the platter, invert it, and place it back on the spider. With half of the scale's capacity in test weights concentrated over a corner of the platform, there should be approximately 1/32" of clearance between the stop and the bottom of the spider. Check all four corners, then recalibrate the scale.

What does "grs-oL" Gross overload mean on my Doran Scales Scales?
- R
  Rhonda ParkerSep 1, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales displays a "grs-oL" error, remove all weight from the scale. If the problem persists, inspect the load cell connections to the scale electronics. Recalibration will not resolve this issue, as it indicates a hardware error. The load cell may be damaged. Check all overload stops, ensure no foreign objects are inside the platform, and inspect the load cell cables for cuts or damage.

Why won't my Doran Scales 4300 weight reading repeat or return to zero?
- R
  rebeccacervantesSep 2, 2025
  If the weight reading on your Doran Scales Scales doesn't repeat or the scale doesn't return to zero after removing weight, make sure nothing is caught in the platform under or around the load cell or spider that could interfere with its movement.

Why won't my Doran Scales 4300 Scales indicate full capacity or overload?
- J
  jenniferbaldwinSep 4, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales won't indicate full capacity or go into overload, ensure nothing is caught in the scale under or around the load cell or spider that could interfere with their movement. If clear, check the overload stops.

What does "SPAn Er" Span Error mean on my Doran Scales Scales?
- T
  Tracy SwansonSep 6, 2025
  If your Doran Scales Scales shows "SPAn Er" Span Error, check the capacity of the load cell. If the scale is set to a low percentage of the load cell capacity, there may not be enough signal from the load cell to calibrate the meter. Set the meter's capacity to match the load cell capacity and recalibrate. Also, set the meter resolution to the designated weighing resolution.
