plug from the loadbar; one at a time; after each
one observe the reading on the display; the
reading should be less than ±100kg and stable.
This reading is called the offset and is normal. If
the offset is above 100kg it is possible that a
loadcell has been overloaded. If the offset is
fluctuating in the hundreds it could indicate water
damage. If the offset is fluctuating in the
thousands it could indicated cable damage.
4. Once the loadbars are connected and you zeroed the scale by
pressing the zero button you can test the loadbars. Climb onto
the scale standing on a corner and take note of the reading;
now climb off. The display must return to
zero. Now repeat this on every corner;
remember to climb off every time. If the
readings are the same on every corner your
scale is in a good condition.
5. If not, identify the loadbar with the
problem (the one with the incorrect
reading). Inspect the loadbar for cable
damage; loose bolts or a shifted loadcell or
plug damage. Repair yourself or return to
Tal-Tec.

Switch the instrument on. Now connect the
