Setra Scale Error Codes Explained

Message

Action Needed

Description

ABCDEF

Perform display reset procedure

Quick & Super Count upset by ESD hit or other memory failure

BUSY

None; an operation is in progress

An operation was started that takes time to complete; however:
--a lengthy 'BUSY' following a ZERO keypress may be indicative of a problem with the scale or load cell
--a lengthy 'BUSY' following a CAL keypress

CAL A

Continue calibration procedure as instructed for specific scale model

Scale is ready to perform a linearity calibration at ambient temp. after CAL A scale remains in debug mode for maximum readability

CAL FS

Continue calibration procedure as instructed for specific scale model

Scale ready for full-scale calibration, including specifying capacity

CALC E

Reset memory to factory defaults

'Calculation error' may indicate error reading memory or bad part

CAL T

Continue calibration as specified for specific scale model

Scale ready for temp-compensation; zero-drift will be minimized by performing temperature calibration after completing ambient cal

CON ERR

Re-run d-nOS or replace controller

Wrong keys pressed during d-nOS or controller PCB is defective

CRASH

Press CLEAR to abandon erasing, or repeat '-232.8' key-in to continue

Different models will display different criteria for abandoning or continuing the complete resetting of memory and loss of all calibrations

DEC ERR

Re-run d-nOS or replace keyboard

Wrong keys pressed during d-nOS or keyboard is actually defective

DEBUG

Press CLEAR to see weight display

Displays weight at maximum readability, runs with zero-tracking & overload/overlift indicators off; weight + temp. appear on printouts

d-nOS

Press CAL key to continue self-test

For every 'do <nnn>', press the 'nnn' key; at end, press CAL key

HELLO

None; normal power-on message

Scale should continue by going into 'count-down' (5-4-3-2-1)

HOTCAL

None; temperature cal is running

3-4 hour run-time; increase temp by 10-deg after 1st 30 minutes

LLLLLL

Reinstall pan onto the scale

Either indicates no pan, too little weight, or damage to the load-cell

NOBUG

Press CLEAR to see weight display

Displays weight at normal readability; both zero-tracking & overload/underload ('overlift') indications re-enabled; print weight only

NO CAL

Move Cal/Prot switch to CALibrate position and press the CLEAR key

A calibration procedure has been entered, but the Cal/Protect switch is in the wrong position to allow the calibration to proceed

OFLO

Remove some weight from pan

Weight or count exceeds display range (e.g. >6 digits)

OSC ERR

Return scale to factory for service

Weight oscillator is not running or running at wrong speed

PROTEC

Move Cal/Prot switch to PROTect position and press the CLEAR key

A procedure has been entered (e.g. power-on) in which the scale is expected to operate normally, but Cal/Protect switch in wrong position

REPLUG

Calibration has been lost from scale

Scale is ready for full-scale calibration, including specifying capacity

UNABLE

Press CLEAR key (or others...)

An operation was requested that the scale could not perform

--If attempting to zero reading, check for pan rubbing against base

--If attempting to calibrate for span, verify correct amount of weight

--If attempting to calibrate remote scale connected to RSO option, verify the ' local' base is selected before keying code to cal remote

- - - - & UL (or blinking)

Reinstall Super II pan reinstall SC, QC, EZ, CP, C pan

Either indicates no pan, too little weight, or damage to load cell (early models blinked display off/on/off...; Super II displays '- - - -')

5-4-3-2-1

None; automatic testing is running

Scale should continue into weighing mode (displaying "0.00", etc.)

888888

None; normal startup message

Normal power-on indication on both LCD & LED displays; some LCD displays have additional annunciators which also turn on briefly
