measured, the measuring pan, or the tare. 

Check Precautions on 

Use (2–4). 

Weight indication 

contains an error.

 

An error was made in the tare subtraction 

procedure. 

  The adjusters remain lifted, resulting in an 

incorrect level. 

  The indication values are inconsistent after 

long hours of use, or because the balance 

has been moved to a new location. 

Review the tare 

subtraction (10). 

 Check the level (8). 

 

 

Execute span adjustment

reached.

 

Gross weight exceeded the capacity of the 

balance (weight range = con 

weight of sample). 

  A section of the mechanism is damaged. 

Check the total weight. 

 Execute tare subtraction

A weight heavier than the capacity was 

used. 

  The reference weight is less than 50% of
