Why can't I calibrate my OHAUS Adventurer AX4202?
Several factors can prevent calibration of your OHAUS Scales. Here are a few things to check: * Ensure the Calibration Menu lock is off. * Confirm that Approved Mode is off. * Make sure the environment is stable; relocate the scales if necessary. * Verify that you are using the correct calibration masses.
What does 'Low Reference weight' mean on my OHAUS Adventurer AX4202 Scales, and how to fix it?
A 'Low Reference weight' message on your OHAUS Scales means the reference weight is too small. Increase the sample size to resolve this.
What does 'Invalid Piece Weight' mean on my OHAUS Adventurer AX4202 Scales, and how to resolve it?
An 'Invalid Piece Weight' message on your OHAUS Scales indicates that the average piece weight is too small. To fix this, increase the average piece weight.
Why are my OHAUS Adventurer AX4202 showing poor accuracy?
Poor accuracy with your OHAUS Scales can stem from a couple of causes. First, the scales may need calibration. Try performing a calibration. Second, an unstable environment can affect accuracy. Relocate the scales to a more suitable, stable location.
Why do my OHAUS Scales display 'Operation Timeout'?
An 'Operation Timeout' error on your OHAUS Scales indicates that the weight reading is not stable. Try moving the balance to a more suitable location to ensure stability.
Why can't I change the menu settings on my OHAUS Adventurer AX4202?
If you are unable to change menu settings on your OHAUS Scales, it could be due to a locked sub-menu. Try unlocking the sub-menu. Also, ensure that Approved Mode is turned off.
What does '------' mean on OHAUS Adventurer AX4202 Scales?
The '------' display on OHAUS Scales indicates that the balance is busy. It may be performing a tare, zeroing, printing, or waiting for a stable weight. Wait until the process is completed.
