11.1. Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – trouble shooting
In case of small forces the display always falls back to 0,000!
The automatic temperature compensation function (tracking) is switched on and causes the zero-
point drift being suppressed by the signal interpreting software. You may turn this function off; see
Chapter 8.3..
The zero-point shifts in the case of repeated measurements in the range below 0.5% of the measurement
scope!
The automatic temperature compensation function (tracking) is switched on and causes the zero-
point drift being suppressed by the signal interpreting software. You may turn this function off; see
Chapter 8.3..
The display shows numbers upside down!
The display direction can be changed for test stand application; see Chapter 8.1..
Display only in compressive or tensile force direction!
Change the mode of operation with the PEAk-button. When the word "Peak" does not appear on the
display, the actual values are shown both in compressive and tensile force direction; see Chapter
4.4..
Force values are depicted with negative prefix!
Depending on your usage you may set a negative prefix either for tensile forces (factory-side) or for
compressive forces; see Chapter 8.2..
The depicted Peak-value is higher than the maximum value!
The maximum value equals the average value of the last taken single values, whereas the amount of
single values depends on the set display update time. The peak value, in contrast, is the absolute
highest value measured.
Display fades out!
Check the remaining voltage. Plug in the AC-adaptor/charger and check the electric connections. In
case you are using a different adaptor, check the electricity values and the polarity.
RS-232C communication is disturbed!
Check the connection cable`s wiring and the compliance of wiring with input terminals of the PC-
card.

ATTENTION, overload! The internal sensor can be damaged. Immediately
remove the load and check the instrument. If no reasonable measuring value is
displayed anymore the internal sensor will need to be replaced at the
manufacturers`.
Overload of +120% related to full scale. Reduce the load until the instrument
indicates a value within the admissible measuring range.
Overload of -120% related to full scale. Reduce the load until the instrument
indicates a value within the admissible measuring range.
Overload +!! The load cell can be damaged. Remove the excessive load
immediately and check the instrument. If the indicated measuring values are
obviously untrue the load cell has to be changed by the manufacturer of the
instrument.
Overload -!! The load cell can be damaged. Remove the excessive load
immediately and check the instrument. If the indicated measuring values are
obviously untrue the load cell has to be changed by the manufacturer of the
instrument.
Reading error of the E²proms. Switch the instrument off and turn it on again. If
the error still occurs the µ-processor might need to be changed by the
manufacturer.
Writing error of the E²proms. Switch the instrument off and turn it on again. If
the error still occurs the µ-processor might need to be changed by the
manufacturer.
