TCM2 Counting Scale Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing Model TCM2 Counting Scale. Please read all operating instructions carefully before using and note the following points:  Avoid using in extreme heat, cold or wet and the environment which has intensive change in

temperature, humidity and pressure.

 Allow sufficient warm up time after turn the scale on, to allow the internal components and load

cell to have enough time to stabilize and balance heat.

 Do not operate near an in-use cell phone, radio, computer or other electronic device as these

devices emit RF and maybe cause unstable scale readings.

PROBABLE CAUSE

REMEDY

Err01

Weight reading exceeds Overload limit, or The weight value cannot be displayed in the current unit of measure

Reduce load on scale until weight value can be displayed. Use a more appropriate unit of measure. Re-set some parameters about units

Err03

Weight reading below Under load limit.

Install platform on scale. Perform zero calibration

Err04

Weight exceeds Power On Zero limit (+10%), or over ZERO key range (+5%)

Make sure scale platform is empty. Perform zero calibration.

Err05

Weight below Power On Zero limit (-10%) or below ZERO key range (-5%).

Install platform on scale. Perform zero calibration.

Err30

Load cell wires to indicator are incorrectly connected, or shorted, or opened; or ADC, load cell are damaged

Make sure wires are ok and correctly connected. Replace load cell or ADC chip, Service required.
