Safety

Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing SkidWeigh system or any other electronic product.

Make sure 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.

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.

Operational principal

The ED2E Elite SkidWeigh system 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 per session which is converted into a load weight reading.

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.

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.

Selecting the mounting location for digital indicator

Use the mounting flange and fasten digital indicator on the vehicle dashboard or side railing preferably on the right hand

side. 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 does not hit a head
