1.2.1 Structure
1.2.2 Function
The effect of weight on the weighing surface causes elastic deformation of the load
cell(s) underneath. They produce an electronic analogue signal which shows linear
variation in relation to the application of force. This signal is measured by the weight
calculation system, analysed and displayed as a weighing value. Figure 2 shows the
function chart for scales with separate electronic modules for weight calculation and
display. Figure 3 shows the function chart for scales with one electronic module for
weight calculation and display.

The scale is equipped with a calibration option to compensate for linear measurement
errors as for example, those occurring with geographical variation in the earth's
gravitational force. This calibration procedure must also be carried out whenever a load
cell is replaced.
Calibration can be performed in one of two ways:
The scales are equipped with an internal manual calibration feature, which is
regulated by the control elements on the device.
Calibration is performed with the help of seca serva
Manual calibration is activated by plugging a jumper on the printed circuit board (see
Figure 4). These contacts are only accessible after breaking the seal and opening the
scale. After plugging the jumper, the scale has to be switched on to start manual
calibration.
The following steps are necessary to perform manual calibration of the scale:
1. Switch on the scale and check the battery charge (see note). Calibration
must not continue if the batteries are low!
2. Then switch the scale off and unscrew the lower service lid after having
removed the seal.
3. Connect the two jumper contacts using a jumper.
4. Then set up the scale properly again and switch on.
5. Start-up of the scale is followed by the segment test and then a flashing
display showing the weight to be placed on the scale.
6. Place the calibrated weight in the middle of the weighing surface in one,
or at most two steps of equal size. The calibration weight required may
vary depending on the model (see Table 1).
835 20 kg
383, 385 40 kg
7. Once a correct, stable weight value is identified, the LCD display will
stop flashing, and a calibration value will be calculated and stored. The
scale then switches off automatically shortly afterwards. If the LCD
display does not stop flashing, the measured weight is either above or
below the weight to be expected, or a stable weight value cannot be
established (due to vibration / shocks, etc.).
8. Then remove the weight from the scale, detach the jumper from the
PCB and replace the service lid.
9. Now set up the scale again and switch on. Next, place a calibrated
weight on the scale and check the display for the correct weight value. If
manual calibration was successful, reseal the service lid according to
the national regulations.
Note:
Automatic monitoring of the battery voltage is not possible during manual calibration. It
should therefore be checked before and after every calibration procedure. This can be
carried out by switching on the scale and observing the display. If the battery voltage is
insufficient, either the battery warning symbol or the "bAtt" display will be activated. If one
of these displays appears before or immediately after calibration, the batteries should be
replaced and the calibration procedure repeated.
Manual calibration can be aborted before placing the required weight on the scale by
switching off the device.
Manual calibration is activated using a sliding switch (SJ1) on the PCB (see Figure 5). It
is only accessible after breaking the seal and opening the scale. After changing the
switch position to 2 ("CAL"), the scale has to be switched on to start manual calibration.
The following steps are necessary to perform manual calibration of the scale:
1. Switch on the scale and check the battery charge (see note). Calibration
must not continue if the batteries are low!
2. Then switch the scale off and open the integrated display by releasing
the four screws after having removed the seals.
3. The position 2 ("CAL") must be selected with the slide switch on the
PCB, which is now accessible.
4. Then set up the scale properly and switch on.
5. Start-up of the scale is followed by the segment test and then a flashing
display showing the weight to be placed on the scale.
6. Place the calibrated weight in the middle of the weighing surface in one,
or at most two steps of equal size. The calibration weight required may
vary depending on the model (see Table 2).
7. Once a correct, stable weight value is identified, the LCD display will
stop flashing, and a calibration value will be calculated and stored. The
scale then switches off automatically shortly afterwards. If the LCD
display does not stop flashing, the measured weight is either above or
below the weight to be expected, or a stable weight value cannot be
established (due to vibration / shocks, etc.).
8. Then remove the weight from the scale, move the slide switch on the
PCB back to its original position and refit the display.
9. Now set up the scale again and switch on. Next, place a calibrated
weight on the scale and check the display for the correct weight value. If
manual calibration was successful, reseal the scale according to the
national regulations.
Note:
Automatic monitoring of the battery voltage is not possible during manual calibration. It
should therefore be checked before and after every calibration procedure. This can be
carried out by switching on the scale and observing the display. If the battery voltage is
insufficient, either the battery warning symbol or the "bAtt" display will be activated. If one
of these displays appears before or immediately after calibration, the batteries should be
replaced and the calibration procedure repeated.
Manual calibration can be aborted before placing the required weight on the scale by
switching off the device.
1. Switch on the scale and check the battery charge. If the battery voltage
is insufficient, either the battery warning symbol or the "bAtt" display will
be activated. If one of these displays appears before, during or
immediately after calibration, the batteries should be replaced and the
calibration procedure repeated.
2. Then switch the scale off and open the display housing by releasing the
four screws after having removed the seals.
3. The position 2 ("CAL") must be selected with the slide switch on the
PCB, which is now accessible, or with older models, the two jumper
contacts have to be connected using a jumper.
4. Then set up the scale properly and switch on.
5. After start-up of the scale the segment test is followed by a flashing
message on the display reading "LOAd".
6. Place the calibrated weight in the middle of the weighing surface in one,
or at most two steps of equal size. The calibration weight required may
vary depending on the model (see Table 3).
1. Switch on the scale and check the battery charge. If the battery voltage is
insufficient, either the battery warning symbol or the "bAtt" display will be
activated. If one of the two displays appears before, during or immediately
after subsequent corner correction, the batteries should be replaced and
subsequent corner correction repeated.
2. Then switch the scale off and open the display housing by releasing
the four screws after having removed the seals.
3. The position 2 ("CAL") must be selected with the slide switch on the
PCB, which is now accessible, or with older models, the two jumper
contacts have to be connected using a jumper.
4. Then set up the scale properly and switch on.
5. After start-up of the scale the segment test is followed by a flashing
message on the display reading "LOAd".
6. Place the calibrated weight on the corner where the load cell was replaced in
one, or at most two steps of equal size. The weights required may vary
depending on the model.
7. Once a corner load is identified on the weighing surface, the display will read
"CAL E", followed by "E 1". A few seconds later it starts to flash, showing the
weight to be placed on the scale.
Note:
If the display reads "CAL L", a centred load has been identified. In this
case the weight must be removed and the procedure aborted by
switching off the scale. Check correct set-up of the scale and repeat
linear calibration (from item 4.)
8. The correct weight should now be acknowledged by briefly pressing any key
(except the Start key). Once a stable weight value is identified, the LCD
display will stop flashing and will read "UP".
9. Then remove the weight from the scale. Once removal of the weight is
detected, the display will read "E 3", A few seconds later it starts to flash,
showing the weight to be placed on the scale. The weight displayed should
now be placed in the corner diagonally opposite to corner 1 and
acknowledged by briefly pressing any key (except the Start key). Once a
stable weight value is identified, the LCD display will stop flashing, and a new
corner correction value will be calculated and stored. Shortly afterwards the
LCD display will read "Sto", and the scale switches off automatically a few
seconds later.
10. Then remove the weight from the scale, move the slide switch on the
PCB back to its original position or remove the jumper and
reassemble the display housing.
11. Now set up the scale again and switch on. Next, place a calibrated weight on
the individual corners and check the display for the correct weight value. If
subsequent corner correction was successful, reseal the display housing
according to the national regulations.
The following section contains an overview of possible error symptoms, their cause and
the steps required to remedy them. The error messages generated by the device itself
are also described below as well as the options for rectifying them.
Description of
Possible causes Remedy
error
The scales have an error message feature which indicates possible malfunctions and
defects. These error messages are described below.
If a malfunction or defect occurs during operation of the scale, it is shown on the display
as an error message. Error messages are displayed in the following form:
"E xx"
E: Error
xx: Error number (see Table 4)
If a malfunction or defect occurs during operation of the scale, it is shown on the display
as an error message. Error messages are displayed in the following form:
"E mm.xx"
E: Error
mm: Number of the module reporting the error
(10 = weight calculation, 11 = electronic display)
xx: Error number (Table 5)
The following section contains an overview of measurements that can be made for
specific fault localisation.
Measurement of the power supply to the PCB indicates whether the leads from the
battery compartment and/or power pack are defective. A multimeter is used for
measurement at the measuring points B (see Appendix).
The most effective method for establishing a defect in the load cell is to use the seca
serva diagnostic function. If this is not available, another option is to use a multimeter.
Measurement with a multimeter is however not as conclusive, so this method should
always be second choice here.
See the relevant wiring plan for the assignment of designations and cable colours. The
measured values are however not entirely conclusive as even a defective load cell can
supply entirely correct values when unloaded. But if it supplies incorrect values when
unloaded, it is defective.
5 Replacing Electronics
Attention:
The electronics system of the scale includes electrostatically sensitive
components!
Check that both the workplace and the person replacing electronic components
conform to the relevant ESD protection measures!
The scale must be de-energised before the electronics are replaced. To do so,
remove inserted batteries and/or disconnect the power pack.
Release all screwed connections on the electronics as appropriate to make
unsoldering of the supply leads easier.
Only ever unsolder one cable on the electronics component to be replaced and
solder it back onto the new component at the relevant solder contact immediately
afterwards. This ensures that you do not solder leads to the wrong contact.
Check all soldered connections for contact stability and accidental short-circuiting
with adjacent contacts and correct if necessary.
Secure the electronics in the scale in position using screwed contacts.
Important note:
To prevent battery short-circuiting, the contacts of the battery supply lead (see
Appendices, item "B") must be additionally secured after soldering with a dot of glue to
stop them from accidentally becoming detached and touching each other (e.g. due to
mechanical loading or a defective soldered joint)! Here the solder contacts must be
completely encased in glue of the type "Loctite 5145"!
