CHAPTER 1
1.4 EXPLANATION
OF METER CHANNELS
The V600 meter can display information on up to six channels: A, B, C, D, E, and F. There is a VSL
Vulcoder for each channel. The number of channels is based on the number of load cells and their
grouping. For example, a trailer could have as many as four load cells per channel. The display code
tells the meter what channels to scan. For more information on how to select the meter display code,
refer to Section 3.2.2 “Configure The Display Code”.
Refuse or Logging Truck Applications:
Typically, a refuse or logging truck application usually requires only one or two meter channels, A, or
A and B. Channel A usually represents the truck or front load cells regardless of the number of load
cells connected to the VSL Vulcoder. Channel B usually represents the trailer or rear load cells. The
total weight for both the front and rear load cells is represented on Channel A+B.
