Meter On/Off 

The 

on/off

 key is used to turn on and off the system 

(including the connected Smart boxes. If the 

instrument is connected to a permanent battery 

voltage (not via ignition key) it is advisable to turn off 

the system when not in use to reduce current battery 

consumption.  
To turn off the Meter the On/Off button should be 

pressed for more than 2 seconds. The display will go 

dark when the Meter is turning off. 
The Meter is turned on again by pressing the On/Off 

button shortly. Within 5 – 10 seconds the system is 

operational. 

Day / Night mode 

It is possible to use the Meter in two different modes to 

adapt to the different light conditions during day and 

night use. By pressing the On/Off button briefly (less 

than 2 sec) the display will alternate between day and 

night modes.  

(Day and Night modes apply to the 9150 normal operation 

screens showing vehicle/axle weights. It does not apply to 

menus or alarm screen. It can only be changed when a 

weight screen is shown.) 
 

 

Weight screen functions 

There are two main weight screens, one giving a 

graphical overview  and one purely numerical 

showing one weight at a time in large digits.

 

The pictures below show both a graphical weight 

screen and a purely numerical screen showing a 

vehicle total and the axle/channel weights.
