Page 11: Overview (Automotive)
SW500 Wired Scale Systems, Users Rev E,October, 2016 Overview (Automotive) The SW Wired scale system is designed to independently measure the force applied by each tire of a car. This is referred to as the ACTUAL weight applied by each tire. The user can enter the desired corner weights, which will be displayed as the TARGET weight. -
Page 12: Overview (Kart)
(-) 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. -
