Appendix B: Maintenance Menu: Signification of Error Codes and Digital Inputs Appendix B: Maintenance Menu: Signification of Error Codes and Digital Inputs • Error Codes Safe Error Codes A safe error may mean either that a control panel button is pressed without the safe signal being caught, or a safe signal is caught without any control being pressed.
Page 58
Appendix B: Maintenance Menu: Error Codes and Digital Inputs 21 = Head left load cell is out of range: load cell may be disconnected, faulty or scale board is faulty. For errors 18 to 21, first proceed to a visual inspection to detect any stuck or broken cable. If there seems to be no visible problem, then try to invert two load cells on the scale connectors.
