    Why does eXact Measuring Instruments show “LO” on LCD while zeroing?
    • M
      Melissa BarrettAug 21, 2025
      If the eXact Measuring Instruments shows “LO” on the LCD while zeroing, the possible causes are a low battery (replace batteries), a dirty cell (clean the cell), or a cloudy sample (dilute the sample or use a filter). If none of these actions solve the problem, it may be due to a bad LED, in which case you should contact ITS.
