Problem

Cause

Remedy

The sample size is
not or not correctly
received.

The parameters of the
RS-232 interface are
wrongly set.

Correct the RS-232 parameters (see page

balance.

The connection cable is
unsuitable.

Use the RS-232 cable of the balance manufac-
turer or ask for the corresponding cable from
Metrohm.
