TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Service of a Nimbus balance will generally be necessary when the balance does not
perform as expected. The balances are not user-serviceable. For Service Information, see
section 18.0 and contact Adam equipment or your supplier.
Problems usually fall into one of the following categories:
User Problems:
The user is asking the balance for something it cannot do or is confused by the modes and
functions of a balance. It is also possible the user has set a parameter that has affected
the balance operation. Resetting the parameter to a normal value will restore operation.
• Mechanical Problems
The balances consist of complicated and fragile mechanical devices. They can be
damaged by placing a weight on it which is too high for the balance, or by dropping
the balance or occasionally shipping it without taking care. The most fragile parts
are the flexures. Dust, dirt, spills and other foreign objects in the balance can also
cause problems.
• Electronic Problems:
These are the rarest of the problems affecting balances. If an electronic problem is
suspected make sure the mechanical problems that can cause similar symptoms
have been eliminated before attempting electronic repairs. With the exception of
cables most electronic repairs are solved by board replacement.
The trouble-shooting table in section 16.1 is a guide of common problems and their
solutions. Note that many problems may have multiple solutions and there may be
problems found that are not listed in the table. For Service Information, contact Adam
Equipment or your supplier.
