In some situations, the weight display will indicate an error message due to a scale malfunction.

This is a list of error messages that may appear and some suggestions for troubleshooting.

Message Description Troubleshooting
No communication with the scale Check if the scale is turned on. Check the connection between the scale and the PC.
Error 01 Scale flash memory is corrupted and cannot be reset to factory settings. Break the verification seal, open the Xtrem module cover, toggle the seal switch to the OFF position, and restart the scale. The instrument must be recalibrated and verified.
Error 02 Scale A/D converter failure. Unable to get signal from load cell The scale needs to be repaired
Error 03 The load cell signal is out of range. Fault in the scale sensor. In case of a scale with several load cells, check the connections in the signal junction box. In either case, the scale must be repaired.
Error VOut The power to the load cells is too low. There may be a short circuit in the measurement circuit. It can happen due to a failure in a load cell. The scale needs to be repaired
Power alarm The power supply voltage to the scale is too low. If a rechargeable battery is being used to power the scale, recharge the battery.
ADC H Load cell signal is too high It could be due to a load cell wiring problem, but also due to a faulty load cell that must be replaced.
ADC L Load cell signal is too low Same as the previous case.
The load on the scale exceeds the maximum capacity If the error message persists after removing the load, the scale must be repaired.
The scale indicates a negative weight Check the load receptor. Do a reset. If the error message persists, there is a faulty load cell and the scale needs to be serviced.
