    How to troubleshoot Optima Scale 909 that do not turn on?
    • S
      Susan GibsonAug 13, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments aren't turning on, there are a couple of things to check: * **Loose power cord:** Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into the scale. * **Defective outlet:** Test the outlet by plugging in another device to see if it works. This will help determine if the problem is with the outlet itself.

    Why is my Optima Scale 909 reading negative with a load?
    • M
      Michelle MorrisAug 20, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments show a negative reading when you apply a load, the Sig+ and Sig- wires might be incorrectly connected to the load cell. Try switching the Sig+ and Sig- wires connected to the load cell and/or the junction box (if one is used).

    What does 'Err3' mean on Optima Scale Measuring Instruments?
    • R
      Ralph JohnsonAug 25, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments display 'Err3' during calibration, it means the input signal is negative. To resolve this: * Check all wire connections. * Check the load cell for damages. * Try to recalibrate the device. * If the issue persists after these steps, the PCB may need replacement.

      jean89Aug 28, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments display 'Err2', it means the weight used during calibration was below the minimum required weight. The calibration weight minimum is 10% of the maximum capacity set in C04. It is recommended to use 60%-80% of the maximum capacity.

    What does 'Err1' mean on Optima Scale Measuring Instruments?
    • K
      Kenneth MannSep 1, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments display 'Err1', it indicates that no weight was used during calibration, or the weight used exceeded the maximum capacity. Use the correct weight within the defined range to resolve this issue.

    What to do if Optima Scale 909 Measuring Instruments show 'Err4'?
    • H
      Hunter DaltonSep 4, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments display 'Err4', it means the signal was unstable during calibration. Make sure the platform is stable before starting the calibration process.

    What to do if my Optima Scale 909 display 'Err6'?
    • E
      egreenNov 15, 2025
      If your Optima Scale Measuring Instruments display 'Err6', it indicates an exceeded zero range. Here's what you can do: 1. Ensure the scale is on a level surface and doesn't wobble, and that there is no load on the scale when you turn it on. 2. Press and hold the “PRINT and HOLD” keys simultaneously for a few seconds. 3. Use the arrow keys to change C01 to C20 (change the first digit from 0 to 2 before changing the second digit from 1 to 0). 4. Press the “PRINT” key to enter the C20 parameter. 5. Change the value on the right of C20 to 100 if possible, otherwise change it to 20, using the up-arrow key. 6. Press the “PRINT” key to enter your selection. 7. Press the “PRINT” key to enter the C21 parameter. 8. Change the value on the right of C21 to 100 if available, otherwise change ...
