Instruction manuals may be required with this service manual. For complete information on operation, refer to the Instruction Manual.

This manual covers maintenance on the following:

EB Series Scales, Models EB3, EB6, EB15 and EB30

The contents of this manual are contained in five chapters and two Appendixes with service menu and calibration instructions.

Chapter 1 Introduction - Contains information about service facilities, tools, test equipment, test masses, service strategy, specifications, and setup.

Chapter 2 Diagnosis - Contains information on problem verification, scale examination, preliminary checks, troubleshooting tables, testing procedures, and an interconnection diagram.

Chapter 3 Repair Procedures - Contains detailed repair procedures for all major components.

Chapter 4 Final Testing - Contains performance tests, and calibration.

Chapter 5 Parts Lists - Contains overall views identifying all major serviceable replacement components with associated parts lists.

Appendix A Service Modes- Contains Configuration, Capacity and Readability for the EB Series Scales in a service mode.

Appendix B Service Calibration - Contains Service Calibration instructions.

1.1SERVICE FACILITIES

To service a scale, the service area should meet the following requirements:

Meet scale specifications for temperature environmental requirements.

Be free of vibrations such as fork lift trucks close by, large motors, air currents or drafts from air conditioning/heating ducts, open windows, people walking by, fans, etc.

Be clean and free of excessive dust.

Work surface must be stable and level.

Scale must not be exposed to direct sunlight or radiating heat sources.

Use an approved Electro-Static Device.

7.AC Adapter, 230 V, 50 Hz (KR) Ohaus P/N 80120005 NOTE: Adapters required for servicing are location dependent.

1.3CALIBRATION MASSES REQUIRED

The masses required to test the EB Series Scales must meet the requirements of ASTM Class 4 or OIML Class F2. The mass values are listed in Table 1-1.

TABLE 1-1. CALIBRATION MASSES

MODEL

Calibration Masses

Totaling

 

 

 

EB3

3kg

EB6

EB15

15kg

EB30

30kg

 

 

Note: The EB Scales can be calibrated over a wide range, however, it is recommended that the calibration mass used is at or near the full capacity of the scale for maximum accuracy.

1.4 SERVICE STRATEGY

The repair method for the EB Series Scales is the direct substitution of major assemblies. The available repair parts are listed in Table 5-1.

The EB Series Scales contain 6 major replaceable assemblies: Top Housing, Membrane Switch, Load Cell Assembly with Frame, Lead Acid Rechargeable Battery, Display PC Board with LCD and the Main PC Board.

Note: The Load Cell and LCD may also be ordered and replaced separately.

CHAPTER 2 DIAGNOSIS

2.DIAGNOSIS

This section contains information needed to properly evaluate the reported problem and diagnose its cause.

2.1SCALE SETUP AND EXAMINATION

Set up the scale according to the Instruction manual. Allow the scale to stabilize to room temperature. Examine the scale for signs of corrosion or physical damage.

2.2PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Power up the scale using the customer’s ac adapter. In the case where the scale will not power up, check the ac adapter. Observe and record the error codes and software revision. Record all menu settings as received.

2.3TROUBLESHOOTING TABLES

Troubleshooting tables 2-1 through 2-7 identify actual types of problems that could be encountered with the scale.

The troubleshooting tables refer to the EB Scales Interconnection Diagram, Figure 2-2, to assist in locating the problem.
