Dyna-Clamp not powering off
Improperly loaded software
Reinstall software
Faulty circuit board
Requires authorized service
Loose connectors
Requires authorized service
Dyna-Clamp does not respond
to tension changes
Out of calibration
Requires authorized service
Faulty load cell
Requires authorized service
Worn out or damaged drive rod
Requires authorized service
Display over ranges below 100%
of capacity
Zero requires adjustment
Rezero the Dyna-Clamp
Too much tension/load has been zeroed
Rezero the Dyna-Clamp
Display drifts
AZM (Auto0) is turned off
Turn AZM on
Rapid temperature changes such as moving
the Dyna-Clamp from indoors to outdoors
Wait until the Dyna-Clamp temperature has stabilized
Displayed tension shows larger
error
Dyna-Clamp not zeroed before load is lifted Zero the Dyna-Clamp with no load attached
lbf/kgf/kN units causing confusion
Select proper units
Requires recalibration
Requires authorized service
Display reading not stable
Excessive vibration in wire rope
Increase filtering
Load cell faulty
Check LC connections
Display toggles between Error
and Load
Tension exceeds capacity
Immediately reduce tension
Faulty load cell or wiring
Check LC and LC wiring
Display toggles between Error
and Key
A key is stuck or is being held down
Check switches for damage
Ensure that a remote is not continuously transmitting
Low battery is blinking
Battery is low
Replace (alkaline) or recharge batteries
Unit turns on then immediately off Battery is low
Replace (alkaline) or recharge batteries
Tension does not zero
System not stable
Wait for standstill annunciator to turn on
Increase filtering for more stability
Zero out of range
Zero range might be limited; only zero while Dyna-Clamp is not
clamped to a wire rope
Tension does not average
System is not stable
Wait for standstill annunciator to turn on, or see Display reading not
stable above for an additional solution
Low threshold % of capacity not met between
average measurements
Remove Dyna-Clamp from the rope being tested, the device must drop
below the low % of capacity before a new average can be taken
Setpoint LEDs blink
Range is enabled and a trigger point has
been reached
Disable range if it is not needed
