3.5 Alarms
DeviceNet™ Error (DeviceNet Models Only)
: A problem in the DeviceNet communication is marked by a lack of flashing or a
slow flashing (duration about 0.5 s) of the DeviceNet status LED.
PROFIBUS Error (PROFIBUS Models Only)
: A problem in the PROFIBUS communication is marked by a lack of flashing or a
slow flashing (duration about 0.5 s) of the PROFIBUS status LED.
Ethernet Error (Ethernet Models Only)
: A problem in the Ethernet communication is marked by a slow flashing (duration
about 0.5 s) of the Ethernet status LED.
Modbus/TCP Error (Modbus/TCP Models Only)
: A problem in the Modbus/TCP communication is marked by a slow flashing
(duration about 0.5 s) of the Modbus/TCP status LED.
* For RIP remote displays, if the message exceeds 5 digits the display reads ------.
In case of alarm, the relays not managed by Modbus, Modbus/TCP or DeviceNet will open.

, if an alarm becomes active the relays open and the analog outputs go to the lowest possible value
according to the following table:

Description
The load cell is not connected or is incorrectly connected; the load cell signal exceeds 39 mV; the conversion electronics. The A/D
converter is malfunctioning. The load cell is a 4-wire and there are no jumpers between EX- and REF- and between EX+ and REF+.
The weight display exceeds 110% of the full scale.
Internal instrument converter failure. Check load cell connections and, if necessary, contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems Technical
Support.
The weight exceeds the maximum weight by 9 divisions.
The maximum displayable value was exceeded (value higher than 999999 or lower than -999999).
The weight is too high: zero setting is not possible.
This message appears in the test weight setting, in Weight (Span) Calibration, after the fifth test weight value has been entered.
The value set for the parameter is beyond the permitted values; press
to quit the setting mode leaving the previous value
unchanged.
Example: a number of decimals is selected for full scale which exceeds the instrument's display potential; value above the maximum
setting value; the weight value set in test weight verification does not match the detected mV increase.
Lock is active on menu item, keypad or display.
It is not possible to display the number properly because it is greater than 999999 or less than -999999.
