Why is my Doran 7000 reading bouncing?
- MMario SmithAug 20, 2025
If your Doran scale's readings are unstable or fluctuating, it might be due to air currents or vibrations. To stabilize the reading, try increasing the Digital Averaging setting.
Why is my Doran 7000 reading bouncing?
If your Doran scale's readings are unstable or fluctuating, it might be due to air currents or vibrations. To stabilize the reading, try increasing the Digital Averaging setting.
What to do if Doran 7000 Scales will not come to zero?
If your Doran scale doesn't return to zero when the ZERO button is pressed, ensure the scale is stable (the "MOT" annunciator is off). If excessive motion is a problem, activate the latching POd Avg C32 print feature or lengthen the filter time. If the scale is stable, but it still doesn't work, it may be a problem with the touch-panel or main board.
How to check if Doran 7000 Scales weight readings are correct?
If your Doran scale's weight readings seem incorrect, verify its accuracy using a test weight. If necessary, recalibrate the scale.
Why does my Doran Scales drift off of zero?
If your Doran scale drifts off zero, it may be caused by air currents or vibration. To compensate, try setting the AZT aperture to a wider setting.
What to do if Doran Scales overloads early?
If your Doran scale overloads early, it's possible that 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 the stops, take the platter off the scale, invert it and place it back on the spider. With 1/2 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 to do if my Doran Scales show "grs-oL" Gross overload?
The Doran scale is in gross overload. This means the load exceeds the scale's ratings, which might damage it. You should immediately remove the excess weight.
What does "ovr-Ld" mean on my Doran Scales?
The Doran scale is overloaded. The load on the platform is exceeding its capacity by more than 103%. Remove the excess weight.
What does "SU 0 E" Startup zero error mean on my Doran 7000?
The scale was not stable, or a weight in excess of 1.9% of full load was present on the platter when the scale started. Remove the weight and wait; the Doran scale will zero once it becomes stable.
What to do if my Doran 7000 Scales will not come to zero?
If the Doran scale will not come to zero when the ZERO button is pressed, ensure the scale is stable (the "MOT" annunciator is off). If excessive motion is a problem, activate the latching print feature (POd) or lengthen the filter time (Av A1). If the scale is stable, the scale may be set to the Canadian Legal for Trade (4% zero bandwidth).
Why is the reading bouncing on my Doran Scales?
If your Doran scale reading is bouncing or "flighty", check for air currents and/or vibration around the scale. If that's the cause, you may need to set the Digital Averaging to a higher setting to stabilize the reading.
