Table A-2 display on the 7-segment display.
The scale failed to find a zero weight reference when the Scale Zero
button was pressed. The scale will zero if the weight on the platter is
within +/- 2% of maximum weight measurement capacity, and stable
(i.e., no motion on platter). This is +/- 0.6 lb, or +/- 0.3 kg depending
on the units of measure programmed.
NOTE If operation fails, the user must clear it by pressing the Scale Zero
button.
The zero reference drifted beyond 80% of the initial zero setting range
of -5% to +15% (i.e., -0.9 lb to +3.9 lb or -0.4 kg to +1.9 kg) maximum
weight measurement capacity, relative to the zero weight reference
found at a no load legal scale calibration.
This is an advisory indicating that the scale will soon require a
re-calibration.
It can sometimes be cleared by scanning the Scale Reset parameter
bar code, or re-powering the scale, or leaving the scale on from a cold
power start for more than 10 minutes. If this persists, re-calibrate the
scale.

NOTE This fault code annunciates if a weight greater than 4.5 lb, or 2.25
kg, is left on the weighing surface while the scale comes up from a
reset or cold power start. If this occurs, clear it by removing the
weight.

The fault code annunciates if the scale resets, or upon a cold reset
NOTE
of the MP6000 system, and the platter is not installed. It clears when
the platter is reinstalled.
The scale must be legally calibrated before it becomes operational.
There are three reasons:
• The scale can no longer find a zero weight reference: at power
up; after a weight is removed from the platter during normal
operation; or, when pressing the Scale Zero button.
NOTE The scale software does not remove the scale from calibration
under these conditions if it was already legally calibrated. This is a
very visible condition for a user to troubleshoot. The Scale Display
does not a show 0 (zero) reading from power-up, or after pressing
the Scale Zero button with no load on the platter.
A new scale was installed in the MP6000.
•
• A new MP6000 shipped from a factory to an installation that
requires calibration at place of scale use.
This is an internal error in the MP6000 scanner/scale unit and in most
cases a Scale Communication Error U22 is reported before this error.
