Pioneer PJX Series Service Manual 

APPENDIX B - SERVICE MENU 

This appendix describes Service Menu, and entry by following step: 

–  Turn the balance off 

–  Press and Hold the 

Zero 

button and the 

Tare

/Menu-Cal Button. As the balance powers up, 

Service

 appears followed by 

Ramp

 

     

 

 

 

Service Sub-Menu 

RAMP 

The ramp display shows the percentage of use of the A to D circuit, that is, of the temperature-
compensated duty cycle. The actual value is not as important as how it changes.  It should increase 
as the weight on the balance is increased. The ramp display should remain constant without 
fluctuations. 

The normal range is within 3% to 97%. If the readings are outside this range the load-cell is likely 
bad. Fluctuations in the display may indicate a mechanical interference, a cable connection 
problem, a damaged Main PCB or a damaged load-cell. 

 

 

SERVICE SPAN CALIBRATION 

Service span calibration allows a new zero and maximum setting using an external calibration 
weight.
