Why are the weight readings not accurate on my Welch Allyn Scales?
- K
  Kelly HallAug 18, 2025
  Inaccurate weight readings on your Welch Allyn Scales can be caused by a mechanical obstruction of the weighing platform. Check that the platform isn't touching any foreign object that restricts its downward movement. Also, ensure the connecting cable is firmly plugged into the instrument circuit board. If your scale has a mast, check the mast cable for a secure connection to the base.

  Darryl HollowayAug 20, 2025
  If your Welch Allyn Scales won't turn on, here are a few things to check: * **Dead Batteries:** If your scale uses 'D' cell batteries and doesn't have a rear adapter, replace the batteries by removing the rear cover with a Phillips head screwdriver. * **Wrong Battery Voltage:** Ensure the non-rechargeable batteries have a minimum voltage of 6.6V. * **Damaged AC Adapter:** Check the adapter's voltage; it should be 12 volts. Replace it if the voltage is not detected. * **Cracked Battery Holder:** Replace the battery holder assembly, noting the positions of the Red, Black, and Yellow wires.

What to do if paper is not coming out of the Welch Allyn 5002 Scales printer?
- T
  Tanya Boyer DDSAug 23, 2025
  If paper is not coming out of the printer on your Welch Allyn Scales, it could be due to a few reasons: * **Curled Paper:** Too much paper might be curled up inside on the roller. Remove the paper and redress it in the roller of the printer mechanism. * **Thermal Paper Installation:** The thermal paper may be installed upside down. Ensure the chemically treated side of the paper faces the print head, as this is critical for operation.

What does it mean if my Welch Allyn 5002 Scales displays 'CAbLE' or 'O-LOAd'?
- A
  Anna Martinez DDSAug 26, 2025
  If your Welch Allyn Scales displays 'O-LOAd', it means the weight signal is larger than the maximum value assigned to that model. If the weight value is within the specified range, this indicates a damaged transducer or defective instrument board. If the display indicates a signal outside the range of the internal a-d converter, it's likely caused by a damaged or disconnected transducer cable. For scales with a mast, check the connection to the weighing platform at its base, and also check the internal connection of the load cell connectors.

Why does the weight reading take so long to display on my Welch Allyn 5002 Scales?
- A
  Amy JacksonAug 27, 2025
  If the weight reading on your Welch Allyn Scales takes an excessive time to display, it may be due to excessive patient motion; the scale waits for the platform to settle before displaying the weight. Check that the connecting cable is firmly plugged into the readout cabinet. Also, examine the weighing platform to ensure it is not rubbing against any foreign object.

What to do if the weight reading on my Welch Allyn 5002 does not change when weight is applied?
- P
  Philip ChanAug 30, 2025
  If the weight reading on your Welch Allyn Scales does not change when weight is applied, it is possible that the platform cable, connector, or load cell transducer may be defective. Check that the weight platform is plugged into the readout.

What causes inaccurate weight readings with an unstable 4 corner test on Welch Allyn Scales?
- M
  Mark WilliamsSep 1, 2025
  Inaccurate weight readings during a 4 corner test on Welch Allyn Scales, where the test is unstable, can be caused by a missing 'Blue EAR' on the load mount. If your corner readings are more than ± 2 lb/1 kg away from the center reading, the corner with the lowest reading is the problem area. Repeat the corner test if needed and follow troubleshooting procedures for the platform.

How to troubleshoot inaccurate weight readings with a stable 4 corner test on Welch Allyn 5002?
- J
  Jeremy BenderSep 3, 2025
  If you're experiencing inaccurate weight readings on your Welch Allyn Scales, even with a stable and consistent 4 corner test, it could be due to a mechanical hang-up on the platform assembly. Inspect the four nylon feet; if they're missing or damaged, replace them. Gently tip and shake the scale to see if something is lodged in the edge. Use a screwdriver around the edge to dislodge any debris.

Why is there no power or display on my Welch Allyn 5002?
- J
  James PerkinsSep 8, 2025
  If there's no power or display on your Welch Allyn Scales, a possible cause is a damaged battery holder harness. Check the pins in the cable to ensure the harness battery holder is properly aligned and connected to the display board.
