Error Code  Explanation 
Err 01  Display format overfl ow, i.e., the value to be output 
cannot be shown on the display. 
Err 02  Zero point error at the start of the calibration/
  adjustment function; caused by operating error
  (balance not tared, or still loaded), or stability was 
not reached, or by a deviation of the zero point 
(adjust the preload). 
Err 06  Internal calibration weight defective or not present. 
Err 10  “Tare” key is blocked, with data in the tare 
2 memory. (only for the application “2nd tare 
memory”)
Err 11  Invalid data; cannot be stored in the tare 2 memory. 
  
Err 22  Reference value in the counting or weighing in per-
cent application not permissible; cannot be stored.
Err 30  The print key was pressed, or an external print com-
mand (“<ESC> P”) was given, while the balance was 
in the BPI mode. 
Err 50  Temperature compensation (TC) converter error; 
value measured by the TC circuit exceeds the tole-
rance range.
 
Err 53  Temperature compensation (TC) converter not
 functioning; no value transmitted to the balance 
  processor from the TC circuit.
Err 54  The balance converter value of the A/D converter is 
below the lower limit; the value measured by the 
A/D converter is too low, or no value is measured.
 
Err 55  The balance converter value of the A/D 
  converter is above the upper limit; the value 
  measured by the A/D converter is too high. 
Remedial Measures
Reset the balance operating menu with menu  
code »9 -- 1 «, “Accessing the Balance Menu.”
First make sure there was no operating error.  If the
balance still cannot be calibrated/adjusted, you must 
follow the procedure in “Adjusting the Preload”; then
perform “External Calibration/Adjustment.”
 
 
Check the calibration weight operating system and, if
necessary, exchange the main PCB.  With balances 
check the menu code settings.  The codes »1 9 3 « and 
»1 9 4 « should be blanked out, otherwise, overwrite 
these codes with the SARTORIUS MC1Server 4.9.
The tare functions are interlocked; once the data
in the tare 2 memory has been deleted, the tare key
will be accessible again.
The display value you tried to store is negative.  Check 
the load on the balance (tare container).
The weight of the reference sample is too low, or the 
displayed value is negative. Check the load on the balance
(reference sample).
Set the balance back to SBI; this can be done
using the SARTORIUS MC1 Server 4.9.
Perform TC compensation using the MC1 Server.  
If this does not suffi ce, proceed as described under
» ERR 53 «.
Check the TC sensors, the main PCB and the 
connectionbetween the two.  If necessary, proceed as  
directed in “Exchanging the Main PCB,” or replace the TC
sensors.
Check the weighing system, the main PCB and the 
connection between the two. If necessary, proceed
as directed in “Exchanging the Main PCB,” or see
„Repairing the Weighing System.”
Check the weighing system, the main PCB and  
the connection between the two. If necessary, proceed 
as directed in “Exchanging the Main PCB.”
