2.0 Safety
Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing SkidWeigh system or any other electronic product.
Make sure that unit, pressure transducer and any other associated cables are securely mounted and do not impede any
of the vehicle’s controls. Use care when routing the components cables. Route the cables where they will be protected.
Use commonly accepted install practices for after market industrial vehicle electronic devices.
The installation of the SkidWeigh systems should only be performed by an acknowledged lift truck dealer technician or
end user electro and hydraulic technical installer.
Here are two acceptable methods of making a wire connections:
* Soldering your connections (recommended)
* Crimp connectors (with the use of the proper crimping tool)
Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that the connection is mechanically sound and properly insulated. Use
high quality electrical tape and shrink tubing where necessary.
This product is connected directly to the vehicle’s ignition switch, 12 to 55 VDC. There is no on-off switch on the unit.
3.0 Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
CE conformity to EC directive 89/336 (EMC) by application of harmonized standards: Interference stability EN 61000-6-2
and EN 61326-1 interference emit EN 61000-6-3, EN 61326-1 for the pressure transducer.

5.0 Overview of components
The standard ED3-UT-IM SkidWeigh Plus check weighing system consist of two main components:
* Digital indicator with ultra bright indicator, impact module, wiring harness, mounting bracket and anti-vibration mount
* Hydraulic pressure transducer with 3 wires cable
* Installation & calibration manual and operator usage instruction

6.0 Operational principal
The ED3-UT-IM SkidWeigh Plus check weighing operational principal is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer
mounted in the vehicle lifting hydraulic circuit that will automatically activate the “weighing cycle / specific algorithm ”
every time a skid load is lifted just above the ground. The increase in pressure is converted in an electronic signal at the
sample rate of 16000 readings which is converted into a load weight reading.
7.0 Pressure transducer installation
The pressure transducer must be installed in the lifting hydraulic line between the lift control valve and lift
cylinder(s). Mount a T-piece in hydraulic line. In some cases you can install the pressure transducer in the flow divider,
drilling and tapping for 1/4”-18 NPT male in spare plug (if only single or double mast configuration) or in the body of the
flow divider. Also, you can drill and tap on any “larger elbow” that might be available in the hydraulic lifting circuit found
in vehicles with larger hoses to accommodate larger vehicle lifting capacities.
8.0 Pressure transducer installation precautions
Before installation of the pressure transducer the hydraulic lift circuit must be pressure free.
There are two ways to do that:
1. Place the forks on the ground in their lowest position and
make the hydraulic system pressure free by tilting the mast
forward. The chain(s) should be slack.
2. Lift the forks and position them on the top of a supporting
fixture. Start lowering the lifting cylinder into its lowest position.
Be sure that chain(s) are slack.
Make sure that that installed pressure transducer will not touch
any moving parts or assembly of the vehicle while in normal
operation. Pressure transducer has 1/4”-18 NPT male thread.
Use thread seal to ensure tight fit.
9.0 Selecting the mounting location for digital indicator
Use the mounting bracket with the anti vibration mount and fasten digital indicator on the vehicle dashboard, side railing
on the right hand side or preferably on the overhead guard. There are many examples of mounting locations that will
depend on the vehicle model. However, additional mounting items such as a flat brackets may be needed to help secure
the unit to upper right corner of the guard or side railing.
Choose the correct location and make sure that:
- Indicator is visible and within reach of the operator
- Location so that operator has a clear unobstructed view of the working environment

10.0 Compact size
All of the SkidWeigh systems are compact, housing dimension of only 120
x 80 x 55 mm is ideal for the installations to material handling vehicles of
all kinds.
11.0 Electrical connections
All SkidWeigh systems operate from 12 to 55 VDC.
Digital indicator five wires single cable
- Orange Wire (+) Ignition switch On position
- Brown Wire (-) Battery negative
- Red Wire, connect to RED wire of the pressure transducer cable
- Black Wire, connect to BLACK wire of the pressure transducer
cable
- White Wire, connect to WHITE wire of the pressure transducer
cable
12.0 Pressure transducer cable
- White Wire, signal 0 to 2,5 V
- Black Wire, signal negative
- Red Wire, power supply + 11 VDC
13.0 Power short circuit protection
All SkidWeigh systems are internally short circuit protected with resettable fuse. There is no need to install external inline
fuse in orange wire connected to the ignition switch.
Note: Any external devices connected to the SkidWeigh system, such as non standard onboard printer might require
external fuse.
Male port 1/4”-18 NPT

14.0 “Quick test to determine if electrical connections are done right”
Note 1: SkidWeigh weighing calibration function is not done yet at this stage. This procedure is only to test if electrical
connections of the system installation into the vehicle is done properly.
After you have connected electrical power and pressure transducer cable you can “quickly” check the system operation.
- Turn On ignition switch
- Digital LCD display will be activated, showing software version and serial number
- Digital LCD display will show current date and time
- SkidWeigh Plus systems with Operator ID# function.
(Bright indicator will be activated and stay on until valid operator ID# is inputed into the system) Default value is 111.
- Input valid operator ID#
- With the LCD display showing time/data
- Lower the forks to the ground
If the loaded forks are lifted above the ground LCD digital display will show “PLEASE WAIT” and within few seconds
display will show “some” load weight . (Example: 455, not calibrated load weight at this stage)
If the above test is valid than the system electrical connections are done right. The next procedure will be to calibrate the
SkidWeigh weighing function.
15.0 Lift truck equipped with hydraulic accumulators
If the standard SkidWeigh system is installed on the lift trucks equipped with hydraulic accumulators, please contact us
to provide you with digital indicator having specific software algorithm to obtain load weight accuracy within +/-1% of
vehicle maximum lifting capacity.
