1. PREFACE

Thank you for the purchasing of our CAS CPS Series.
These series have been designed with CAS reliability, under rigid quality
control and with outstanding performances. Your speciality departments can
enjoy with these high quality reliable CAS products. These electronic
load cell scales eliminate the all the moving parts and furnish an accurate
digital display of all i nformation. We believe that your needs will be satisfied
and you will have proper reliability in variable weight.
This manual will help y ou with proper operations and care of the CPS
scales. Please keep it handy for the future references.

CAUTIONS

Do not press the keys hardly, for the keys are in operation with soft touch.▶

11. Error message & Troubleshooting

Err 01

Reason▣
The weight is too unstable to initialize the scale.
Troubleshooting☞
Laythescaleonaplatplaceandturnonthepower.

Err 02

Reason▣
Load cell connection failure or error in A/D conversion part.
Troubleshooting☞
Check the load cell connector to see if the polarity of signal is reversed.

Err 06

Reason▣
Error in printer connection
Troubleshooting☞
Check with printer connector
If there is no problem with printer and printer connector, please request
A/S to head office.

Err 08

Reason▣
The ZERO key or TARE key is adjusted not to be operated under the
unstable condition.
Troubleshooting☞
Press Zero or Tare key in stable condition

Err 09

Reason▣
Current weight deviates from zero range.
Troubleshooting☞
Press the ZERO key within 10% of the maximum capacity.

Pallet Scale

Err 10

Reason▣
Tare weight exceeds the maximum capacity of the scale.
Troubleshooting☞
Set the tare to be smaller than the maximum capacity.
Otherwise the maximum capacity is reset to be larger than the tare to be

set in the calibration menu, and reset the calibration using weight.

Err 13

Reason▣
The zero range deviates from the set range.
Troubleshooting☞
Confirm that there is nothing on the weighing platform.
If nothing exist, do calibration in CAL mode.

Over

Reason▣
The weight on platform is too heavy to be measured.
Troubleshooting☞
Do not load the item exceeds the maximum tolerance.
If the load cell is damaged, the load cell should be replace.
