Why is my Doran 8000XL 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 8000XL 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 8000XL 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 8000XL 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 8000XL 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.
