 Frequently Asked Questions 
What does “no Enc” mean? 
If the readhead is off the scale, or the readhead cable is unplugged from the digital 
display, an “no Enc” 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. 
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/readhead without the connector link/guide clip? 
The  connector  link  and  guide  clip  serve  to  provide  an  accurate  method  of 
transferring the movement of the moving part to the readhead or scale, while also 
absorbing any stresses that may occur.  If they are not used, the warranty could be 
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 is pointed in the correct direction. 
The display does not change as the scale/readhead moves. 
The display is in the HOLD mode. Press & release the Hold button.
Product Communication 
ProScale's electrical interface allows the readhead position to be read directly or through 
the digital display by a computer or other data acquisition device.  Interface diagrams are 
available upon request
