Scale errors

This section describes the various scale errors that can occur with the Cubiscan 325. Refer to the 
following sections for more information.

Dashes in weight field 

Review the following information if there are dashes in the weight field. The location of the 
dashes is important. 

Bottom dashes 

Dashes in the bottom of the weight field mean that the scale is reading less than zero. If you have 
dashes appearing in the bottom of the weight field, complete the following steps: 

–Make sure that there are no fans blowing air onto the Cubiscan 325. The scale is sensitive and 
moving air can affect scale readings.

–If there is no air interfering with the Cubiscan 325, proceed to step 1 below.

Middle dashes

Dashes in the middle of the weight field mean that the scale cannot find a stable reading. If you 
have dashes appearing in the middle of the weight field, complete the following steps:

–Middle dashes can sometimes mean that there is no communication with the scale. To verify 
that the Cubiscan 325 is communicating with the scale, go to 

Menu > Diagnose > Scale

. If there 

is no communication with the scale the 

Wgt

 field will display 

No Com

. If there is no 

communication with the load cells the 

Wgt

 field will display 

NoLC

.

If you receive 

No Com

–Check the cable connections from the summing box to the controller.
–Check and see if the scale card LED is lit. If it is not lit, please contact Cubiscan Technical 
Assistance at 801.451.7000 for a replacement part. 
If you receive 

No LC

–Make sure all the individual load cell wires are connected in the summing box.

–Make sure that there are no fans blowing air onto the Cubiscan 325. The scale is sensitive and 
moving air can affect scale readings.

–If there is no air interfering with the Cubiscan 325, proceed to step 1 below.

Top dashes

Dashes in the top of the weight field mean that the scale is reading over the scale limit.

–Make sure that there are no objects on the platform, especially objects that weigh over the 
weight limit of 50 lb.
