Scales are integral parts of many production processes. When there is an obvious malfunction you often do not have the time to wait for a repairman or are in a very remote location. The following troubleshooting practices could save you time and money if you run into any issues with you scale.
No Weight Reading or Drastically Incorrect Weight
- Make sure your scale is level and in a stable position
- Check that there is no build up of foreign materials such as dirt or leaves
- Be sure that all parts are securely and properly attached
Your reading is Fluctuating
- Be sure your scale is not on any vibrating surface
- Check the power source for any obvious disconnections or issues
Other things to consider
- If using a scale with feet, are all firmly on the ground?
- Do a visual scan of all equipment to see if you can find any damage or loose parts
- When is the last time your scale was calibrated?
