for running a test.
Reinstall the desiccant tubes properly (Section4).

If you continue to receive a message after the above items have
been checked, contact Customer Support for further options.
Power was reset message
Power was lost during a test.
If Auto Restart is on, the test automatically resumes after a device
reset. If Auto Restart is turned off, then the test stops running
following a device reset. To prevent device resets, METER strongly
recommends connecting the VSA to an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS).
Scale failure
The VSA cannot communicate with the scale.
If the scale is reading overload or underload, then the balance is
either misaligned or broken. If any of these instances occur, the
instrument needs to be serviced by METER (Section9.3)
Scale Reading Instability
message
The VSA is unable to read stable readings from the balance.
Clean the sample chamber, air cylinder, weighing pan, and the
space under the air cylinder.
Check the air cylinder for damage.
If this message continues to appear, contact Customer Support.
