Error Message Description Solution 1. Check the load cell wires are well and connected to the correct points. (refer P.7) 2. Check resistances of load cell. No weighing. (refer P.9) 3. If you change the load cell, please re-calibrate the scale. (refer P.14) The scale shows non- complete segments when...
WIRING ACTION: 1. Remove battery from the scale. 2. Un-screw the lower housing. 3. Remove upper housing. 4. Make sure that all wire connectors are well and that no insulation material is touching the soldering contacts. 5. Make sure that all wires are connected to the correct points. Wiring Connector RED (solder pad “LRx”)
LCD FORMAT ACTION: Problem- The scale shows non-complete segments when power on. Solution: Turn off the scale and take out the batteries from the scale. Check LCD pin. (Please refer to above LCD FORMAT) For instance, if the top left arrow (DI1) disappears, then check pin 1 and pin 16. ...
SWITCH KEY 1. Switch key damaged. 2. Use multi-meter to measure switch key resistance. Meter Probe Meter Probe Use meter probe touch T1 and T4, and press switch key at the same time. If the multi-meter “BEEP” means the switch key is good for use, if not, please change the switch key.
LOAD CELL Check load cell for proper bridge resistances as below. MODEL MEASURING POINTS RESISTANCE REMARK 350 ± 5 ohms Each resistant on load cell E+ (RED) to E- (BLACK) AL-8160 should be same and the 350 ± 5 ohms tolerance <...
