3.  While indicator is warming up, proceed to check under cylinder support disc to make sure 
there is no debris. 
4.  WITH NO WEIGHT APPLIED TO THE SCALE, turn the black tare knob on the outside of 
the door of the indicator in the clockwise direction to make sure that there is 

at least

 +10 lb. of 

weight in the tare knob.  If not, adjust R-6 to see a positive reading.  Once that is established, 
turn the black tare knob on the door of the indicator counter-clockwise until it stops (DO NOT 
OVER TURN KNOB OR YOU WILL DAMAGE THE TARE POT!)  Once it reaches the most 
negative reading, make sure you have at least the amount of tare weight that you require for 
the tanks/drums that you will use on this platform.  If the tare span is very large, you may get to 
a –1 reading and this is a weight under-load condition.  Turn R-6 until you see a number a 
number that is not “below” –199.9 lb or 1999 lb.   
5.  Adjust tare knob on front of weigh meter until scale reads zero with no weight on platform.  
Adjust R-22 to set the 4mA reading to 0lbs. 
6.  Place a known weight on the disc, as close to center as possible.  Weight should be equal 
to ½ of capacity, or greater. 
7.  Adjust R-15 until display reads weight of test weight on scale disc.   
8.  To complete calibration of 4-20mA output, adjust R-19 for proper 20 mA adjustment 
reading. The customer specifies the factory setting for 20 mA at the time the order is placed.  It 
should have been assigned to the net weight of your intended product.  Consult white “4-20mA 
settings” sticker on inside of indicator! 
9.  Calibration is complete if specified accuracy is obtained.

Troubleshooting:

 

1.

  

If display reads: “-1”: 

A.  

Gross under-load.  Turn knob clockwise.  Numbers should reappear and can be 

adjusted to tare weight or zero as required. 

B.  

Check load cell connections at indicator, and connect wires as per diagram on Page 

5. 

2.  If display reads: “1”: 

A.  

Gross over-load.  If starting point was zero, the cylinder weight is more than 199.9 

lb., or kg. with the decimal, or 1999 lb./kg. without the decimal. 

B.  

Check load cell connections according to page 2. 

3.  If no display (not lit): 

A.  

Check power to weigh meter. 

B.  

Check green light on power supply board.  It should be lit.  If not lit, it is shorted out. 

4.  Other Problems: 

A.  

Consult the Factory!
