Electrical power short circuit protection  

                                                                                                            

- All 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  

(No hydraulic pressure in lifting cylinder

)                                                                                                                                          

- Turn on ignition switch or power on switch                                                                                                                                                    
- Digital LED display will show software version (

Example 1600

)                                                                   

- Number

 8 

will be shown in

 Mode 

digit                                       

- 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.  

       

                                                                                                                                                                  

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.

The 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.
