What do I do if the scales don't work?

Give us a call and we will troubleshoot directly over the phone. We will guide you step-by-step (also via TeamViewer if needed). If the fault is due to a replaceable component - such as a sensor - you can usually replace it yourself for a time- and cost-effective solution. If you need on-site help, we have service technicians throughout the country for fast support. 

In-depth: quick troubleshooting before you call 

Start safely 

  • Park on level ground, secure the area and make sure the bucket is free of debris.  
  • Switch the system off/on in a controlled manner to rule out temporary programme errors and disconnect the main power supply to the machine.  

Basic checks 

  • Power & fuses: Is the display/controller lit? Check the power supply and any fuses. 
  • Cabling & connectors: Are sensor cables and connectors fully seated? Look for damage/squeeze damage. 
  • Zero point/tare: Reset, check that there is no residual load on the system. 
  • Raw values: Check the raw values, you can find these under menu.   

Environment & Mechanics 

  • Dirt/material residues: Clean loading surfaces 
  • Temperature/vibrations: Allow the system to stabilise if there is a cold start or a sharp change in temperature. 

Common symptoms and quick actions 

  • Unreasonable values/operation: Reset, restart the scale. Test disconnect the power. 
  • No signal: Suspect sensor or cable break - visually follow the cable and check raw values. The inductive sensors have an LED that should light up when activated.  

When can I change the sensor myself? 

  • When the raw value points to a specific sensor and the wiring/connections are checked. 
  • You have access to the right spare part that you can order directly from Lundaman.
