Frequently Asked Questions

What does

Enc

mean?

If the Encoder is off the Scale, or the Encoder cable is unplugged
from the Readout,

no Enc

will appear on the LCD. To clear:

1. Be sure the Encoder is on the Scale and properly oriented.
2. Unplug the Encoder from the Readout for one second and then

reconnect the Encoder.

3. Connect the Encoder to the Readout.

What does

FAIL

mean?

When the readout displays this message it means the battery voltage
has dropped to a level where reliable operation is no longer possible.

Install new battery

to clear this message.

What does

FAIL

mean?

The Readout does not change, or changes very little, as it moves.

1. The Readout is in the

HOLD

mode.

2. The Encoder is on the Scale backwards. (Model 150, 250 & 950)
3. The

Scaling

factor is set very low.
