7.4.3 Update Firmware

In order for wheel weigh pads and Ai-1 indicators originally supplied with Bluetooth® modules to use RF modules, their 

firmware must be updated.

  IMPORTANT: Firmware update supports Windows 10 and 11 computers.

NOTE: Firmware update duration varies; plan for approximately five to ten minutes for a wheel weigh pad and 25 to 45 

minutes for an Ai-1 Indicator.

1. Download 2.4 GHz Load Ranger firmware from:

2. Unzip firmware file (files for Ai-1 and indicator wheel weigh pad are included):

NOTE: The Ai-1 indicator’s firmware file name starts with EGT while the wheel weigh pad’s firmware file name starts with
