Page 6: Calibration
'CALIBRATION' menu. If weighing volumetrically, you must set the density. On a Loadmaster 8000i, the units are normally displayed on screen and on printouts. If a Loadmaster 9000i Class IIII approved weighing system is used in non-approved weighing mode (i.e. as a Loadmaster 8000i), then units are not displayed on screen or included on a printout in compliance with the requirements for Weights and Measures Approval. -
Page 7: Approved Weighing Mode Certification
1 to 25 tonnes. For ease of setup, the instrument is configured for certification in the range 1 to 15 tonnes via a menu of 18 presets (see below). It is also possible to configure the Loadmaster 9000i for any maximum weight from 16 to 25 tonnes, but not via presets. -
Page 8: Loading Attachments

The four menu keys to the right of the screen access the primary screen pages (those viewed during normal operation). -
Page 9: Startup
2 - STARTUP Startup Before you start to load you need to check a few things, ?? Select Approved or Non-approved mode ?? Work the hydraulics to get up to normal operating temperature, otherwise the screen displays the message "Oil too Cold" and weighing is inhibited. -
Page 10: Zero
2 - STARTUP Zero 2.4.1 Dynamic Zero (Dynamic Mode) Pressing the key displays the "Dynamic Zero" screen when dynamic weighing is selected in AWI mode (fig. 7). Lift the empty bucket at medium lift speed. The weight will display very briefly and then the instrument zeros automatically before returning to the MAIN screen. -
Page 11: Error Messages
2 - STARTUP 2.4.3 Error Messages Angle of Slope This indicates that the angle of slope is too great in a particular direction - move to a more level area. (ii) Low Oil Temperature / Sensor Faults The instrument also warns you of low oil temperature or a sensor fault and inhibits the zero routine. -
Page 12: Re-Weigh Function (Tare -1)
2 - STARTUP 2.6.2 Re-weigh function (Tare –1) The loader operator may wish to tip a partial amount off the last bucket load to “top-off” the truck load. The “re-weigh” function enables the weight of this surplus material to be subtracted from the truck total, ensuring the recorded total matches the actual weight loaded into the truck. -
Page 13: Weighing In Approved Mode
3 - WEIGHING Weighing in Approved Mode In approved mode (NAWI or AWI), weighing will be inhibited unless the machine is up to normal operating temperature and the bucket is crowded right back. These restrictions do not apply in non-approved mode. -
Page 14: Static Weighing
3 - WEIGHING Static Weighing This uses the loader's auto-kickout system to automatically stop the lift arms in the reference position before sampling the weight. The weighing screen (fig. 19) will appear the same as for AWI Mode, other than that AUTO ENTER is not selectable. Fill the bucket as normal and crowd it right back. -
Page 15: Selecting Stores Index
3 - WEIGHING Selecting Stores Index Until a data card containing the reference files is inserted into the Data Module, the instrument will alternately display a black screen and the message "Data Card Module Needed". Select the STOR screen, then select the index required for store 1, using the key or the search function (fig. -
Page 16: Set Target Weight
3 - WEIGHING 3.4.2 Set Target Weight The target weight is set automatically to the value programmed in field 2 of the selected 'Truck' index (a blank field sets a zero target weight). After completing the store selection and returning to the MAIN screen, you can manually enter a different target weight if required. -
Page 17: Zero Error (More Than ±10%)
