Scale Error Reporting
Scale diagnostics uses the Remote Scale Display and the Zero Status lamp
to communicate specific scale failures. The following chart shows the
Remote Display messages, the Scale Status lamp indication, the problem
that the scale is experiencing and what action should be taken. When
troubleshooting, always remember to check all cable connections first
before proceeding with other problem isolation steps.
