Trouble-Shooting and FAQ

This indicates invalid parity setting in the PC RS232 connection setting. Select the correct scale model in the shipping software, and then press any button to clear E5.

If above does not work, reconfigure the scale RS232 settings to match your specific shipping software. Refer to the Technical Manual, found at www.mt.com/ind-psscale.

Power supply may be unplugged or display cable not attached to scale base. If using RS232, confirm power supply is plugged into working AC outlet and power supply is

plugged properly into scale base. If using USB, make sure USB cable is pushed in all the way at both scale and PC. Make sure nothing is on or touching the top of the scale when it first powers-up. If you have verified that the scale is receiving power, and you still have nothing on the display, then

unplug and reinsert the display connector into the scale base.

This indicates Over or Under weight capacity. This can be caused by putting too much weight on the scale or by powering up the scale when there is weight on it.

Disconnect power by unplugging the USB cable or power supply. Remove any weight from the scale, then plug the scale back in. The scale will reboot, and will capture zero.

No, the power supply is not needed. The scale is adequately powered by the USB port. The scale only needs a direct USB connection to the PC. Do not use a USB Hub.

The power supply can be utilized with the USB cable if your PC is having issues. The scale will recognize the power supply and utilize it as the power source instead of the USB port.

No, the scale needs a direct USB connection to the PC.

The Ball Top and Roller Top platters allow packages to slide easily on the scale. They are often used when handling heavy packages or a large quantity of packages. The Roller Top is often used for conveyor feed (Right-Left). The Ball Top allows rotation or movement in all directions and is often used at retail counters or in mail rooms.

Remote Displays make it easy to see the weight if the scale is on the floor or if a large package blocks the view. In retail pricing applications, local Weights and Measures regulations typically require a customer display. Accessory kits (below) allow a 2ndwall or tower display to be added to the existing base display.
