This is what a technician at Xpider Sports (Taiwanese production facility) answered:
There are several factors cause Alarm04 to happen, the most common issue is found that the sensor module (aka. LoadCell) is failed.
You may follow the instruction (see the PDF attachment) to adjust parameter and see if it helps.
Also check out this step by step demonstration for opening up the machine.
If you are not able to adjust the ZERO value down to 125 range, most likely the LoadCell unit has dead.
And a new LoadCell unit replacement will needed in order to fix this issue.
And:
A load cell is a sensor device which converts force into a measurable electrical output.
For example, it's just like a electric weight scale, when you stand on it, the sensor inside of weight scale (a LoadCell) tells you how heavy you are.
In stringing machine, it sensors how much kgs/lbs the motor pulls the tensioner, and gives you the right amount of force of pulling.
You can find a stuff like this under the tensioner, with chain on it.
Keep in mind, since the LoadCell is a electrical device, it might stops working as time goes by.
Sometimes three years, sometimes five years, no one know, some people got lucky to have a machine for ten years without problem.
In your case, as long as you can get the ZERO value down to below 200, machine should works just fine.
However, you will need to replace the load cell eventually at one point.
We do sell them with the whole assembling like this.
(Load Cell kit was $285 in 2023.)
