Replacing Digital Load Cells
Install a new, un-addressed (Defaulted) loadcell in the scale.
**Prior to performing this procedure, the DD should be showing Error Code 07, or
08 meaning that it sees all the loadcells, it does not recognize one of them. If its
reading Error Code 01, then you have another problem that needs corrected
before you do this procedure.**
1. At the main screen press and hold the BTEK Logo, Once Red enter 2835 and
press the Metro Button on page 8 of 11. Press scale configuration, then on
Scale A or B.
2. Select: “SYNCHRONIZE”
**Note: If you do not see the SYNCHRONIZE icon, then the scale is software
sealed. Follow the procedure to unseal the scale prior to going any
further!!**
3. Select the box on the RIGHT that says: “Scale to Cells”, and wait a few
seconds.
4. A box will appear and you will need to answer “YES”.
**Important** A box should now appear where you need to click on “OK”. If
this box does not appear, you need to select the “Scales to Cells” icon again.
If you do not follow this step, you will forfeit everything you have done so far
and will have to redo it all again.
5. Select: “X” to close.
6. Select: “SAVE”.
7. Cycle power on the DD. It takes almost 30 seconds for the scale to boot up.
8. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
9. Select the box on the LEFT that says: “Cells to Scale”, and wait a few seconds.
10. A box will appear and you will need to answer “YES”.
**Important** A box should now appear where you need to click on “OK”. If
this box does not appear, you need to select the “Cells to Scale” icon again. If
you do not follow this step, you will forfeit everything you have done so far
and will have to redo it all again.
11. Select: “X” to close.
12. Select: “SAVE”.
13. Exit out of all menus until you get to the normal weighing screen and you

Test Digital Cells
Address SET- From this window all the working load cells connected to the scale board are
visible. To change the address of a load cell, press the button 'SET' (set number) beside the
address box.
Keep in mind, if you keep track of the serial numbers position in a new scale installation, you
can manually address the system to check the scale before a test truck is available.
Coefficient SET- Coefficients can also be changed manually from this screen, (Can also be
changed in the calibration section of the application software). The eccentric calibration is the
better option when needing to adjust two or more sections. When only one cell or section is
needing adjusted change the coefficient up or down .001 for every 20 lbs of adjustment.
Example: Section 2 is reading 40lbs heavy. Currently cell 3 is .99865, and cell 4 is 1.00162.
To bring down the entire section 40 lb enter cell 3 at .99765 and cell 4 1.00062. Reboot the
cells, then start the application to retest the scale.
Factory Default Cells - To factory default a load cell, press the calibration button on the main
board, the seal status will turn green, then press the “DEF” button.
