5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. SCALE INPUT ERROR on Power Up.
The DT210 is jumpered for Current Loop Input and no idle current is detected.
The signal wires may be reversed or connected to the wrong pins. The meter may
not be sending.
2. NO DISPLAY, NO AUDIO ON POWER UP.
Check power cable. Check fuse on back of DT210.
3. NO WEIGHT DISPLAY. (--READING SCALE--)
Check meter cable. Use section 5.5.1 to test scale port. If there are no errors in
'test scale port - sec. 5.5.1', the meter may be sending the wrong data format or the
DT210 may be programmed for the wrong meter.
4. PRINTER DOES NOT PRINT. (Using DT210 serial output port #1).
If using the IDS150, make sure the FORM LIGHT is ON. Check printer cable.
Make sure the baud rate and data format for printer & DT210 are the same (see
section 3.1.3). Use section 5.5.2 to test the serial output port. Verify that the
PAGE PRINTER if configured properly (3.2).
5. MEMORY FULL.
The memory full message is displayed when ID memory is full. This most often
happens when the transaction report is turned on. Erase all transactions to regain
memory space.
6. THE DT210 LOCKS UP.
Turn the DT210 off and then back on. Verify that the ID memory has not been
corrupted by scanning to the end of each ID file (or use the display function to
access record 'ZZZZ'). If the DT210 locks up accessing ID's then rebuild the ID
memory (section 5.5.6).
