Overview (Kart)
The SW series scale system is designed to independently measure the force applied by
each tire of a kart. This is referred to as the ACTUAL weight applied by each tire. The
user can enter the desired corner weights, which displays as the TARGET weight. The
COMPARE weight values are the amount of weight that needs to be added or
subtracted to a corner weight to achieve the TARGET weight. (When the COMPARE
value is negative (-) it implies that the ACTUAL weight is greater than the TARGET
weight.)
The SW500 series scale can also perform a number of calculations automatically.
Rather than displaying the wheel weights (Actual, Target, or Compare) the user can
select to display the weights as a percentage of the total weight, or as a percentage and
weight. Additionally the user can select pads in groups (such as left front and left rear,
or left rear and right front) and the scale will calculate what percentage of the total
weight that group is.
The scale has eight default display modes:
OVAL TRACK
The following parameters are displayed: Each wheel
weight, left side and rear %, cross %, and the total
weight.
KART
The following parameters are displayed: Each wheel
weight, left side %, front %, cross %, and the total
weight.
ROAD RACING
Choice 3 (Road Racing) is a dynamic display format
which allows the user to choose which wheel weights will
be totaled and shown as the selected weight. Screen
shows each wheel weight, selected weight, selected % to
total weight, and total weight.
DIRT TRACK
The following parameters are displayed: left wheel
weight and %, rear weight and %, cross weight and %,
and the rear bite.
DRAG/RALLY
The following parameters are displayed: Each wheel
weight, front %, rear %, and the total weight.
WHEELS AND
PERCENTAGES
The following parameters are displayed: Each wheel
weight, front right %, left %, right %, wedge, right rear %,
and total weight.
TOTAL
This option will provide a quick snapshot of the total
weight applied to all of the pads in the system.
TOTAL + 4
This option provides total weight on all of the pads and
gives each individual weigh applied to each pad.
