Err 01
Reason▣The weight is too unstable to initialize the scale.
Troubleshooting☞Laythescaleonaplatplaceandturnonthepower.
Err 02
Reason▣Load cell connection failure or error in A/D conversion part.
Troubleshooting☞Check the load cell connector to see if the polarity of signal is reversed.
Err 06
Reason▣Error in printer connection
Troubleshooting☞Check with printer connector
If there is no problem with printer and printer connector, please request
A/S to head office.
Err 08
Reason▣The ZERO key or TARE key is adjusted not to be operated under the
unstable condition.
Troubleshooting☞Press Zero or Tare key in stable condition
Err 09
Reason▣Current weight deviates from zero range.
Troubleshooting☞Press the ZERO key within 10% of the maximum capacity.
