Sectionalize the problem
o
Look at the problem.
o
What area of the machine is the problem occurring in?
o
Has anything changed recently?
•
Isolate the problem
o

o
Observe indication and trouble codes.
o
Check test points.
o
Avoid complicating the problem.
6.3 Trouble Symptoms
Use the following information to assist in troubleshooting.
6.3.1 Scale is Not Accurate
If the scale is providing inaccurate readings, check the following:
1. Check the calibration of the TE100. Refer to Chapter 3.6 Calibration.
2. Check for anything that might interfere with the natural motion of the spout. Any items, such as
cords, hoses, etc., that would impede or change the movement of the spout must be removed.
3. Check spout to make sure it is not rubbing on the scale cabinet. If the spout touches the scale
cabinet, it will cause the inconsistent weighments.
4. Check the hopper to make sure an adequate supply of material is available in the product hopper
to ensure a consistent head pressure.
5. Check to make sure there is nothing restricting material flow from the hopper.
6. Check that hoses or other components are not coming into contact with the spout.
