2. Brief Introduction
www.zemicusa.info
2.1 Operating Principle
Shovel Loader Weigher is a dynamic weighing and auto-totalizing equipment installed on shovel
loader without changing the original structure of shovel loader.
When the lift-arm of Shovel Loader is lift to a certain height, the position sensor will trigger the
weighing process, and the weighing indicator will collect the oil pressure signals from lower and
upper oil chambers of arm-lifting oil cylinder. After signal processing and compensation,
Single-bucket-loading-weight will be got and totalized to Totalized Loading Weight automatically,
and the Deviation Value between Totalized Loading Weight and Setpoint, alarm messages will be
displayed. The operator can judge if the present Single-bucket-loading-weight is valid according to
the alarm messages, and confirm the loading weight of last bucket according to Negative Deviation
Value for avoiding overloading. After Totalized Loading Weight reached setpoint, the operator should
stop loading process, save and print Loading Record.

5.1.4 Installation of Oil Pressure Sensor
1. Intallation Position
The upper oil connecting port and lower oil connecting port of
arm-lifting oil cylinder are the installation positions of oil
pressure sensors.
Suggestion: Install the oil pressure sensors on the arm-lifting
oil cylinder which is at the same side that the weighing
indicator installed on.
2. Safety Precaution
Using a stable and strong base to support the bucket of the
loader for avoiding accidental injury.
In the process of dismounting and mounting, the shovel loader
should be kept at flameout state.
Put a bucket under the oil connecting ports that will be
dismounted for oil collecting.
If the shovel loader has worked for a long time, the oil
temperature in the bucket-lifting cylinder will be very high.
Please let the shovel loader at flameout state for some time
before dismouting to avoide scalding.
Before dismounting the oil connecting port of the upper oil
chamber, let the bucket-lifting action bar stay at the position of
„LIFT‟ for making the upper oil chamber connect with main oil
tank and relief pressure.
Before dismounting the oil connecting port of the lower oil
chamber, let the bucket-lifting action bar stay at the position of
„FALL‟ for making the lower oil chamber connect with main
oil tank and relief pressure.
When somebody stays in driving cab, do not stay under the
shovel loader for avoiding accidental injury.
3. Installation
Wrap some sealing ribbons on the screw of oil pressure sensor
avoid oil leakage, and install it on the three-way joint firmly.
Fix the three-way joint [thickness: 19mm/21mm] and the oil
tube connector on the arm-lifting oil cylinder by the
lengthened screw rods which is about 20mm longer than
original screw rods.
4. Check Oil Passage
