Avery Berkel scales question
I have a set of the above scales (see image)
Does anyone have any knowledge of them as I would like to disconnect the top part, the small display unit. I can get it off ok and it is connected by a similar connector to a telephone connection, the problem is though when I disconnect it the main weighing display on the actual scales then dont work. Being ex post office I suspect the 2 displays were electronically connected so customer and staff could both see the weight. I dont have sufficient knowledge to mess too much with them so only asking in case there is an easy fix. https://imgur.com/a/x4wMw6t |

It is hardly surprising that the two displays are connected. I understand that you might want to move the upper display for some sort of access reasons, but it is almost certainly easier to leave it electrically connected and tuck it somewhere out of the way. |

Yes but it does get in the way it will weigh up to 30 kilo so the boxes can be large and the secondary diplay gets in the way on ocassion, I need to centre some boxes on the scales so it overhangs on all sides. Its just a nuisance but doesnt stop me using it. |

Its just a nuisance but doesnt stop me using it. What Newshound is suggesting is removing the second display from the top of the pole, and pulling the cable through. Then tape the display to the base, out of the way, and connect it up again. Seems worth a try to me. |

So mangle the riser & just leave the top display on the bench but still connected? -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

I have already done variations of that, sometimes I have to move the scales to the floor as I cant quite lift the heavier boxes up to the height required so that why I was hoping to do a permanent disconnect which would make life easier. |

I suspect that connection of the second display was originally compulsory to reduce possible fraud by counter staff. -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

The secondary display is not required for home use, I may just open it up and see whats in there although for my electronic knowledge I would be as well looking at a bowl of spaghetti. |
