Scaling cannot be set for one of the following reasons: • Scaling has been attempted when the measured value is outside the measuring range. • When two-point scaling has been executed, the distance between the measured values for the two points is not 1% or more of the rated measuring range. When focusing is executed, an error appears and settings cannot be made.
