It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use the LOADRITE Weighing System in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe operating practices.
As a load is lifted, the trigger and hydraulic pressure transducers send information to the LOADRITE Indicator. This information is converted into a digital weight reading that is displayed on the LOADRITE Indicator. The LOADRITE Weighing System can add each lifted load to running totals so that Trucks are loaded accurately and daily productivity levels can be tracked.
LOADRITE Sprint User manual 1.3. INDICATOR FEATURES Icon Name Description Illuminates when a load is lifted past the trigger point. When this light is on, the Trigger Light load may be added. Exit Moves back one menu screen. Cancels changes.
LOADRITE Sprint User manual 1.4. ACCURATE WEIGHING For maximum accuracy, ensure that: Check Zero is performed regularly. Load lifting motion is steady and smooth, with no acceleration or bounce. The bucket is fully rolled back during the lift.
Zero the empty bucket. Weigh and add each bucketload. When you have finished loading the truck, clear the short total. When you have finished using the LOADRITE Weighing System, put the Indicator into Standby mode. 2.1. HOW DO I TURN ON THE INDICATOR? The LOADRITE Indicator will turn on automatically when you start the loader.
LOADRITE Sprint User manual 2.4. HOW DO I WEIGH AND ADD A LOAD? Depending on the settings selected at installation, there are two possible methods for weighing and adding loads: Method Definition Bucket loads are weighed when the vehicle is stable for a specified amount of time.

LOADRITE Weighing System. The LOADRITE Weighing System can be set to automatically add a bucket load when lifted past the Trigger Point for a specified number of seconds OR when the bucket is rotated forward to tip off the load. This means that you don't need to press after lifting each load.
The short total will display briefly, followed by the Total Cleared message, then the Ready screen. 2.6. HOW DO I PUT THE INDICATOR INTO STANDBY MODE? If you are not going to use the LOADRITE Weighing System for a while, you can put the Indicator into Standby mode by completing the following: Option 1 ...
The unit of weight being used. The Short total is displayed in this unit of weight. 3.1. THE SHORT AND LONG TOTALS The LOADRITE Weighing System keeps a running total of the load weights. Two independent totals are stored - the short total and the long total: Term Definition The running total amount of product weighed and loaded onto a truck or carriage.

The Long Total Clear? message will display. Press again to clear the long total. The Long Total Cleared message will display. If the LOADRITE Weighing System has a printer connected, the total will be printed. Press to cancel the clearing of the long total.
Depending on your configuration, various weight data is printed either: when is pressed at the end of a load, or when is pressed. The information that is printed depends on settings selected at installation. For further information, contact your LOADRITE distributor. 4-16...
LOADRITE Sprint User manual MENU The Menu options that are available depend on options selected at installation. The Menu provides options for configuring the LOADRITE Weighing System. To display the Menu, press twice. Press to scroll up or down, then press to select an option.
LOADRITE Sprint User manual 5.1. SETUP... The Install Menu provides options for configuring the LOADRITE Indicator at installation. A security code is required to access this menu. For further information, contact your LOADRITE distributor. 5.2. AUTO-ADD Controls whether or not the Auto-Add functionality is enabled.
LOADRITE Sprint User manual 5.5. CLOCK The time, date and year can only be changed if Clock Edit functionality has been enabled during installation. You can set the time, date and year on the Indicator. 5.5.1. Setting the time From the Clock Menu select Time, then press The time will display with the cursor over the first digit.
5.9. UPLINK This option is used to upload a configuration file created using LOADRITE Toolbox via a LOADRITE Data Module or from a PC via a EDP cable. The configuration file contains product names, data lists and settings. For information on creating a configuration file, refer to the LOADRITE Toolbox User Manual.
Uploading a configuration file via a LOADRITE Data Module From the Uplink Menu select Data Module, then press Connect the LOADRITE Data Module containing the configuration file to the Indicator. When the Sync Config From Module? message displays, press A counter will display as the Indicator receives the configuration file.
CAUTION The LOADRITE Weighing System alters its calibration every time this function is used. It is important that this function is only used once with a given set of data. If the same weights are entered again, the LOADRITE Weighing System will over-correct and its accuracy will be seriously impaired.
7.1. CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT The Span Calibration Adjustment can be checked by obtaining and comparing new LOADRITE and weighbridge values. If necessary, the Span Calibration Adjustment can be performed again using the new data. IMPORTANT: All trucks and trailers should have tare weights confirmed for all loads to be checked. This ensures that a true weight can be established.
If the lift arms are bouncing significantly while weighing, an error occurs. This can happen if, for example, the loader is driven over uneven ground while lifting the load. Depending on the installation of the particular LOADRITE Weighing System, there are two possibilities: No weight is displayed and therefore there is no weight to add. Repeat the lift.
This message displays if the speed of raising the arms is too fast and exceeds predefined limits. Lift the arms again slower. If the message displays again, there may be a fault in the system. The LOADRITE Weighing System should be checked and, if necessary, re-calibrated.
This prevents any accidental zeroing of valid weights. NOTE: If the bucket is empty and the message still occurs, there may be a fault in the system. The LOADRITE Weighing System should be checked and, if necessary, re-calibrated.
Also known as Loader Driver or Loader Operator. Indicator Pressure Transducer The LOADRITE user interface installed in a loader or A pressure sensor connected to the loader’s hydraulic excavator which the operator uses to record bucket system in order to measure the hydraulic pressure required weights.

A sensor which responds to the position of the lift arms, function as the Add button on the LOADRITE Indicator. and informs the Indicator when to take a weight reading. The button enables the operator to add a load without LOADRITE weighing systems have three types of trigger: having to remove their hands from the loader controls.
