Troubleshooting

*Error* *Code*	*Issue*	*Troubleshoot*	*Solution*
ERR-O/0	Overload error	Turn scale off, then back on, and try weighing using weight under max capacity to verify the loadcell still functions.	If scale still registers accurate weight refrain from continued over loading. If error continues loadcell may be damaged.
ERR-Z/2	Exceeded zero tracing range when powered on.	Turn scale off and clear weighing platform. Turn scale back on and attempt recalibration.	If the scale was recalibrated successfully then the error is resolved. If error persists, scale may need a linearity calibration or has a damaged loadcell.
ERR-S/5	Scale not stable when powered on.	Make sure scale is stable when powered on. Do not touch, shift, or place anything on the weighing platform until after the countdown.	If error persists, scale may need recalibration. If error continues after recalibration, then loadcell may be damaged.
ERR-C	Calibration weight was not entered during calibration	Enter calibration weight during calibration process.	If error persists, call support.
ERR-P	Counting set error	Place sample before entering counting settings.	If error persists, call support.
ERR-L	Calibration weight was not placed during calibration.	Be sure to place weight when recalibrating.	If error persists, call support.
ERR-E	Software issue	If error persists, call support.	If error persists, call support.
ERR-B/6	Low battery error	Attempt to charge battery.	If error persists, battery will need to be replaced. Make sure to not leave scale with rechargeable battery plugged in constantly.
