The system will not START,
END or both. Weight reading is not
stable enough. It may be too windy to get a stable
weight. Check the motion light on
the indicator. The system can only
start and end when the light is out.
The weight reading on the
indicator is unstable. The circuit board in the
control panel may be
wet. If there is a junction
box for the load cells on
your system, check
inside for moisture as
well. Dry any areas that are contami-
nated with moisture. Check for
leaks and reseal.
A load cell cable may be
pinched or damaged. Contact RLWS or a qualified
dealer for support. Cutting the
load cell cable will void the war-
ranty. Special repair techniques
are required.
The scale has a positive
error when loading or a
negative error when
unloading. Mechanical binding
problem on scale. Check all hydraulic hoses and
conduit. They must be long and
loose enough not to exert a force
on the scale. Check all load cell
covers to see that they are not
bent or contacting the lift arm or
cylinder.
The scale has a negative
error when loading or a
positive error when
unloading. Moisture is present
somewhere in the elec-
trical system. Dry any areas that are contami-
nated with moisture. Check for
leaks and reseal.
