Cannot Enter A Tare Weight Through the Keyboard

  • Format isn’t recognized - Enter a tare weight that ends in the smallest division of scale weight.

Scale Is Not On, And There Are No Displays Or Beeps

  • Scale isn’t “ON” - Turn scale “ON.”

Scale Is On, But There Are No Displays Or Beeps

  • Scale is unplugged - Plug the scale into an outlet.
  • Main fuse is blown - Unplug the scale and check the fuse. If there’s a problem with the main fuse, call an electrician to replace it.

Scale Is On, There Are No Displays, But Buzzer Goes Off Continuously

  • Weigh platter is mounted incorrectly - Make sure the weigh platter is mounted on the scale correctly.
  • Objects are touching the weigh platter - Check to see if any objects are touching the platter from above, the side or below.
  • Scale is out of calibration - Scale may be out of calibration due to overload or shock load. Contact a technician to service the unit.

Reading Is Unstable 

  • Objects are touching the weigh platter - Check to make sure nothing is touching the weigh platter from above, below or the side.
