G - Calibration Failed: Not Enough Counts Between ZERO and
SPAN

This error only occurs at the SPAN parameter. You may ZERO out chains and temporary
calibration equipment to hold or hoist test weights. Zeroing the temporary weight does
not effect the calibration.

G

The difference between zero and span is less than
1000 counts

Using a millivolt meter, verify that:

• The signal millivolt reading is positive and within the
acceptable range of 0 to 15 mV.

• When weight is applied there is a positive increase
in the signal millivolt readings

• The compression load cell has not been installed

upside down. Refer to the load cell installation guide
for installation instructions.

• No mechanical binding is restricting the vessel

movement during the load

• The load cell wiring is correct

• Each load cell signal changes under load. A single
load cell installed upside down or wired backwards
can change the total signal output.

SPAN WEIGHT TOO SMALL

• 1000 counts out of 985,000 is very small

• A 100,000 lb scale would require a minimum of 101 lbs
