    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.

    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.
  • Page 14 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.

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.
  • Page 17 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.
  • Page 18: Printing

    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...

  • Page 26: Appendix B: Span Calibration Adjustment

    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.
  • Page 27: Checking The Adjustment

    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.
  • Page 28: Appendix C: Error Messages

    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.
  • Page 29: No Lock

    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.
  • Page 30: Too Heavy, Zero Aborted

    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.

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.
