ERROR MESSAGES 
During  the  initial  power-on  testing  or  during  opera tion,  the  indicator  may  show  an 
error message.  The meaning of the error messages i s described below. 
If  an  error  message  is  shown,  repeat  the  step  that  caused  the  message.  If  the  error 
message is still shown then contact your dealer for  support.

when zeroing the indicator.  
Platform is not installed. 
Improper calibration of the indicator.
 
Damaged load cell.  
Damaged Electronics. 
Err 6

Err 7 
Percent input error 
Percent function is entered with no  
reference mass on the platform.

Err 9 Low limit input error 
High limit is set first, then the low  
limit is set higher than the high limit  
and low limit not equal to zero. 
FAIL H 
or  
FAIL L  Calibration error

SERVICE PARAMETERS 
1.17.  ACCESS TO PARAMETERS 
APPROVED INDICATORS  
Access  to  the  indicator  parameters  and  calibration  is  controlled  in  all  approved 
indicators  either  by  limiting  access  to  be  after  th e  Calibration  Jumper  is  put  on  the 
PCB, location J1, pins 1 & 2.  In this case the dis play will show the passcode request 
screen,  “ P - - - - “  .  To continue enter a passcode as described below.   
Or if the Calibration and Parameters have been enab led (see 15.2.10) the user must 
enter the correct password to have access.  See Sec tion 6.0.   
Entering  passcode  0000  will  allow  calibration  as  sh own  in  15.1,  entering  1000  will 
allow access to a limited set of parameters as desc ribed in section 6.2   and entering 
the passcode 2006 will allow access to all paramete rs as shown in section 15.2. 
  
NON-APPROVED INDICATORS  
Non  EC  Approved  indicators  will  allow  entry  to  the  parameters  if  the  Tare  key  is 
pressed during the power on cycle.   The passwords  work as above. 
  15.1  USING “0000” TO ENTER THE CALIBRATION PARAMETE R 
“Pn”   
 
When “Pn” is displayed.  
Enter “0 0 0 0” and press  [Tare] 
“UnLoAd ” 
   Empty  the  platform  by  removing  the  load,  if  
there is any and press  [Tare] 
“LoAd” “6” “KiLoS” Load the requested calibration weight and press  
[Tare]

“SPAn”  “PASS” If  Calibration  is  complete, “SPAn  PASS” will  be 
displayed. Remove the calibration weight. 
Or, “SPAn”  “FAiLEd ” This  means  calibration  has  failed.  Remove  the  
calibration weight and repeat the process. 
“JP On” Remove  the  jumper  or  shorting  of  the  pins  
whichever  is  used.  The  indicator  will  return  to  
normal weighing. 
  
1.18.   USING “2006” TO ENTER THE SERVICE PARAMETERS 
Non-Approved indicators:  
  For  the  non  approved  indicator  press  the   [Tare] key  during  the  display  counting 
when turned on,   
Approved  Indicators:    For  the  Approved  version  a  ju mper  can    be  installed  to  allow 
access or the Calibration and Parameter Counters mu st be enabled (see 15.2.10).

Apply power to the indicator.  If the jumper has be en used the display will ask for a 
code  number,   “Pn    “ on  the  Weight  Display  immediately.        Or  press  the  [Tare]  key 
during the time the calibration counters are being  displayed. 
Enter the number 2006 when  “Pn  “ is displayed and  then press  [Tare]. 
The displays will show the first parameters, called  “F1”  “CAL”.   
To  select  another  parameter  press  the  [Func] key  to  advance  through  the 
parameters.    
Press the  [Tare] key to enter a parameter.   
To exit a parameter, press the  [Zero] key.   
The display  will show the parameter number and a n ame.   
When a parameter is entered by pressing the  [Tare] key, the displays will guide you 
through the parameter selected and the options avai lable. 
The parameters available are:  
“F1 CAL”        To enter the Calibration 
“F2 dEC”        Decimal Point Position 
“F3 CAP”        Default Weighing Unit 
“F4 Int”        Initial Zero Range  
“F5 rEZ”        Re-Zero range  
“F6 SCS”       Successive Tare Enable 
“F7  Cnt”        Display the A/D counts 
“F8 Zem”       Zero Mode   
“F9 Lvd”        Low voltage detection   
“F10 Cn”        Calibration and Parameter counters

1.18.1 F1 -CALIBRATION 
 
To enter the calibration parameter, press the  [Tare] key when  “F1” is displayed.  The 
indicator  will  be  calibrated  using  2  masses  of  appr oximately  1/3Maximum  and 
Maximum.  If the indicator has been calibrated once  the values will be stored.  If this 
is  the  first  time  the  indictor  is  calibrated  the  us er  must  enter  the  values  for  the 
calibration masses.    
It is necessary to set the decimal point location a nd the capacity before calibration is 
possible.    
The  display  will  instruct  you  to  remove  any  weight  from  the  platform, “UnloAd”. 
Press  [Tare] . 
  The  display  will  tell  you  to  add  the  first    weigh t  to  the  platform: “Ld 1” “    10 kg”    If 
necessary  change  the  value  shown  to  match  the  weigh t  to  be  used.  Press [CE] to 
clear  the  old  value  and  then  enter  the  new  value.    All  values  entered  are  in  whole 
numbers only.   
  Add the weight shown, wait for stability then pre ss the [Tare]  key. 
The display will tell you to add the second   weigh t to the platform: “Ld 2 “   “    30 kg” 
Add the weight shown, wait for stability then press  the [Tare] key. 
The display will show  “SPAn” “PASS” if the calibration is OK.  
Remove the weight.  
For the approved indicator the display will then sh ow “JP” “On”  indicating the jumper 
is still in place if the jumper within the indicato r was used to access the parameters..

EC approved versions)  
Press  [Tare]  to accept the displayed value. 
On non-approved versions the display then lets you  select the increment, “InC 2” 
For example 100kg x 0.01kg  the increment is 10gram s. but the last digit increments 
by 1.
