Troubleshooting 

1

 

Installation and filling feed 
has been done but silo 

stops weighing. 

If the display of Silo A does not show A/D '65536' counts on 16 

bits, lower the offset (see Figure 7) until this number changes. 
After receiving numbers shown on the screen, reducing the 
numbers should be done according to:  
[65536 – (number of Kg missing in the silo * Silo 1 Scale 
Factor)] 
After new installation is done and the Silo is empty, the A/D 
reading should be around 1000 counts (near zero), use the 
offset feature to get it. 
If the display shows '0', increase it by using offset feature. 

The controller display 
shows “disconnected” (or 
Error) and the test menu 
shows 65,536 or 0 rather 
than a voltage 
measurement that is 
required in order to 
identify the error. 

Check if FJB-4 received voltage from controller (green and black 
wires from controller should be approximately 10 DCV). If not 
received, check wire connections on the controller's side. 
If 10 DCV is received, load cells must be checked (see Table 1 

and Figure 9 for further explanation): 
Take White and Green wires from each load cell and check their 
voltage using a digital multi meter (the amount is not important 
but it must be identical throughout load cells with a difference of 
up to 2 mV). If difference is more than 2mV there is a problem 
with one of the load cells. The range of voltage should be 
between 0 to 20 mV depending on Silo load. 
In some cases, when the prior test is not effective and voltage 
between Black (common) wire and White, and between Black 
and Green, wires must be checked (amount of voltage must be 

between 4-4.5V and identical throughout load cells).
