Troubleshooting Tips and Part # Information

Air or electrical supply not connected. 

Solution: Check pneumatic and electrical connections to the scale.

Controller circuits are locked.

Solution: Push E-Stop/Abort switch to reset circuits, then pull out on the switch to run the scale.

Fuse FU1 in the controller box is blown.

Solution: Check for blown fuse and replace.

Battery on the controller power supply/display card is dead (Models manufactured before1998 only.**)

Solution: Replace the battery with an equivalent 3.0V lithium battery.  (See scale manual for more detailed instruction on battery replacement.)

(The purpose of this feature is to prevent the scale from feeding material when a bag is not in place to catch it)

Start Delay is Not Long Enough to allow Load Cell to Stabilize and correctly detect the 0.14#  gross weight.

Solution: Increase Start Delay in the program.

Dirt or product accumulation on the load cell is preventing the load cell from deflecting fast enough to register the required +0.14# gross weight.

Solution: Clean the Load Cell.

Cable ties around the air lines or the air lines themselves are too tight and are restricting free movement of the scale head.

Solution: Make sure the air hoses connected to the bag spout are not too tight.  Remove excessively tight cable ties or install longer air lines if necessary.

Solution: Increase pressure.  Pressure should be set to approximately 60 PSI.

Bag Clamp or Bag Holder Facing is worn.

Solution: Replace the rubber facing.

Unclamp delay time is set too short.

Solution: Increase unclamp delay time.

Bag clamp(s) diaphragm is leaking.

Solution: Replace defective diaphragm(s).
