Electrical power short circuit protection
- All of the SC 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.
- Automotive 60 V load dump protection
-Reversal power supply protection
“Quick test to determine if electrical connections are done right”
Note: 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.
- Lower the forks to the ground
- Turn On ignition switch
- Digital LED display will be activated, showing software version and serial number
- Number 8 will be shown on LED display above the Mode sign.
- Lift forks with any load just above the ground. Mode number
8
will go off for few seconds and some load
weight will be shown on the LED display.
- If the above test is valid then the system electrical connections are done right.
The next procedure will be to calibrate the SkidWeigh weighing function.
Use paper clip to access buttons “M” and “Arrow Up”

Lift truck equipped with hydraulic accumulator
If the standard SkidWeigh system is installed on the lift trucks equipped with hydraulic accumulators,
please contact us to provide you with different digital indicator having specific software algorithm to
obtain load weight accuracy /- 1% of vehicle maximum lifting capacity.
Fully automatic weighing calibration procedure
The SC SkidWeigh calibration is automatic and is done by lifting empty and loaded forks with known calibration load
weight just above the ground.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A KNOWN LOAD WEIGHT AND KEEP IT NEARBY
TO COMPLETE THE CALIBRATION
.
For the best results use at least minimum calibration load test weight of 40 to 60% of maximum lifting capacity of
the lift truck. Use customer floor scale or find a known skid load weight within the operational facility.
