Troubleshooting
General
If the scale does not operate properly, find out as much about the problem as possible.
Try to determine whether the problem is constant or intermittent. Mechanical and
electrical influences can cause malfunctions, so be patient and use sound logic when
troubleshooting.
When troubleshooting a VERTEX floor scale, examine the scale’s physical location.
Check for the presence of water, corrosive materials, unlevel floors, high vibrations, air
currents, or physical damage to the scale platform or frame. Also check the instrument
cable for damage, and all connections for loose or improper wiring.
