Selecting the Mounting Location for Digital Indicator 

Use the mounting bracket with the anti vibration mounts and fasten the digital indicator to the vehicle dashboard, or any 
other convenient place on the electric pallet truck body 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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Electrical Connections

All SkidWeigh systems operate from 12 to 55 VDC.

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  

Two 

black wires 

are connected to the internal relay located in the ED2E-EP / DL2-EP digital indicator. The internal 

relay is controlled by the microprocessor and activate only during the load weighing cycle. 

There is no power con-

nected to these two black wires.

  

 

                                                                                                                  

                                                                  

Electrical Power Short Circuit Protection  

                                                                                                            

- All SkidWeigh systems are internally short circuit protected with a resettable fuse. There is no need to install external 
inline fuse in the orange wire connected to the ignition switch. 
- Automotive 60 V load dump protection                                                                                                                              
- Reversal power supply protection 

    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

 

Weighing Function Calibration Procedure 

   

                                                                                                                                                    

The SkidWeigh ED2E-EP / DL2-EP 

calibration is automatic and is done by lifting empty and loaded forks to 

initiate and program the automatic weighing cycle. 

 MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A KNOWN LOAD WEIGHT 

AND KEEP IT NEARBY TO COMPLETE THE SYSTEMS CALIBRATION PROCESS.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

For the best results use at least minimum calibration load test weight  of 50% to 80% of maximum lifting capacity of the 
electric pallet truck. Use floor scale or find a known load weight with a confirmed and trusted weight.                                                                                                                   

Important:                                                                                                                                     

 

If you want the system to show load weight in pounds, use the known load weight in pounds and enter that 
value accordingly. The same would apply if you want the system to show load weight in kilograms. Use the 
known load weight in kilograms and enter that value into the system accordingly.
