Safety

Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing SkidWeigh systems 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 component 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 a knowledgable lift truck dealer technician or end

user with electro and hydraulic experience.

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, operating voltage from 12 to 55 VDC.

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 SkidWeigh ED2E-EP / DL2E-EP system operation principal is

based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the vehicle

lifting hydraulic circuit. The increase in the hydraulic pressure will

activate the specific “weighing cycle” algorithm and initiate automatic

motion control of the hydraulic lift motor. The microprocessor will take a

readout of the predetermined valid pressure transducer input at a

sample rate of 16000 readings per measurement session and will

convert it to the load weight that will be shown on LED display.

Pressure Transducer Installation

The pressure transducer must be installed in the lifting hydraulic line between the lift control valve and lift cylinder.

Mount a T-piece in hydraulic line for the installation of the pressure transducer.

2 Methods for Automatic Pump Motor De-Activation During Load
Weighing Cycle

Two BLACK wires are connected to the internal relay located in the ED2E-EP / DL2E-EP digital indicator. The inter-
nal relay is controlled by the microprocessor and activated only during the load weighing cycle. There is no power

connected to these two BLACK wires ! Internal relay configuration is SPDT.

Method A. (Preferred Method)!

Use the two BLACK wires to “splice” them in series with the operator activated lift control switch wire or signal
wire from the electronic controller that is activating the lift pump motor solenoid.

Note: The predetermined motion of the lifting cylinder and the load weight measurement “weighing cycle” will be

initiated and controlled automatically by the software algorithm based on the input signal from the pressure trans­ducer. Once the load weight is shown on the LED display the internal relay will be de-activated and the lift pump
motion control will be back to normal operation . (With the vehicle at a stationary position during the lifting cycle

diagnostic display on some vehicles may show ‘No power to lift motor’ or audio signal might be activated for
short time period.)!
