Operational principal The ED3-EP and ED4-EP SkidWeigh Plus operational principal is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the vehicle lifting hydraulic circuit and lift accurate technology. The load should be placed all the way in towards the load back guard. With the load lowered to the ground the LCD display will show time and date which is a starting point to initiate a load weight procedure.
Electrical connections All SkidWeigh systems operate from 12 to 55 VDC. - Orange Wire (+) Ignition switch On position - Brown Wire (-) Battery negative - Red Wire, connect to RED wire of the pressure transducer cable - Black Wire, connect to BLACK wire of the pressure transducer cable - White Wire, connect to WHITE wire of the pressure transducer cable Two Black wires are connected to internal relay, dry contacts located in ED3/ED4-EP digital indicator.

If the forks are lifted above the ground LCD digital display will show “PLEASE WAIT” and within few seconds display will show “some” load weight . (Example: 455, not calibrated load weight at this stage) LCD Display PLEASE WEIGHT WEIGHT = 455 If the above test is valid than the system electrical connections are done right.

Lift Accurate Technology Automatic lift motor travel de-activation methods during the load weighing cycle Two BLACK wires are connected to the internal relay, dry contacts located in the ED3/ED4-EP digital indicator. This internal relay is controlled by the microprocessor and activate only during the load weigh- ing cycle.

Method B. (Some older electric pallet trucks with solenoid coil wiring interface) Use two Black wires and splice them in series with one of the lift solenoid coil wires acti- vating the lift motor. Disconnect one of the original solenoid coil wire ( From either positive or negative terminal of the solenoid coil ) and splice two BLACK wires in series to disconnected wire and the so- lenoid terminal.
