Appendix E Error Codes / Messages This sections describes all error codes generated by 60 Series instruments. Most error codes show a two-digit code reference along with a short text message. Possible causes and remedies are described for each error.
Certain combinations of protocol are not available. The protocol combination selections CoDE19 „Data are in P201, P202 and P203. This error occurs if an illegal protocol combination is &Stop selected. Refer to Chapter 8, Communications for more information. GSE Scale Systems...
CoDE29 The E is corrupted in the PIN section. Check E for problems. The access code is then error defaulted to the manufacturer (GSE) access code. Also refer to Error 11. ALIBRATION RROR ODES ESSAGE ESCRIPTION The entered calibration weight, together with the currently applied signal, indicates that the full scale signal will be greater than the allowed maximum of the controller.
The accuracy is less than required. The accuracy requirements specified at P183 has Req'D not been achieved. Increase the sample size. An attempt to select a disabled scale was made.

Error Codes / Messages E-7 ESSAGE ESCRIPTION The indicator did not check its receive data register in time, thus missing a character. portX To prevent the problem, try reducing the baud rate (P200). The ‘X’ in the error error message represents the COMM port number on which the problem occurred. Associated with Modbus.
