Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there an “Err 2” message on the display?
If the read head is off the scale, or the readhead cable is
unplugged from the digital display, an “Err 2” will appear on the
display. To clear error:
1. Be sure the readhead is on the scale.
2. Unplug the connector from the display for one second.
3. Reconnect the readhead cable to the digital display.
Pressing ZERO, PLUS, or MINUS keys has no effect or causes the
display to change approximately 17 inches:
The keypad is locked. To unlock the keypad, momentarily press
and release the MODE key while holding down the ON/OFF key.
The ABS display is locked in the ABS mode.
The battery clips seem to be very loose. Is this normal?
Yes. DO NOT attempt to bend these clips or wedge anything
between them and the case. These clips are designed to
expand when the two case halves are screwed together.
Can I mount the scale/read head without the flex link/guide clip?
The flex link and guide clip serve to provide an accurate method
of transferring the movement of the moving part to the read
head, while also absorbing any stresses that may occur. If they
are not used, the warranty is voided.
The display reads numbers but they seem to be random.
Be sure the readhead is oriented correctly on the scale. One end
of the scale is black. Be sure that the arrow on the readhead
sticker is pointed in the correct direction.
Pressing the MODE key has no effect.
The display is in the INC mode. Return to ABS mode by
depressing and holding red button for three seconds.
The display does not change as the scale/readhead moves.
The display is in the HOLD mode. Press & release the Hold
(black) button.
