Introduction This manual is intended for use by technicians responsible for installing and servicing LoadRunner Series Onboard Weighing Systems. This manual contains instructions for installing various types of Onboard Weighing Systems (non Legal-for-Trade systems). For straight trucks, this manual includes rigid under-body mounting instructions in four and six point configurations, as well as under-body load pin installation instructions for tipping bodies and hoist chassis.
Considerations Before Installation Failure to observe these recommendations and instructions could result in a hazardous WARNING operating condition. This manual is intended to provide information for the mounting of Onboard Weighing Systems sensors in a variety of applications. In applying the installation procedures, which follow, some fundamental precautions and recommendations must be observed by the installer: •...
Load Pin and Transducer Specification The Rice Lake Roll Off and Dump Truck kits are typically LIFT-TO-WEIGH KITS. This means that with the hoist in the relaxed state (on the chassis), no weight reading is available. The hoist needs to be elevated to a position showing the correct angle on the in-cab digital display unit, approximately 4 degrees, for the weight reading degrees to be valid and accurate.
Load Pins Hinge pivot and lift cylinder load pins built by Rice Lake Weighing Systems are available in two sizes: • 2 inch diameter (see Figure 2-2) Dump Truck • 2.5 inch diameter (see Figure 2-3) Roll Off Full length hinge bars are also available as direct replacements for tipping bodies with hinge bars (contact a Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer or the factory).
Roll Off Load Pin Installation Load pins supplied are custom sized to fit the specific hinge and ram brackets of the vehicle. The LoadRunner Roll Off system is compatible with Galbreath, Accurate and Ruddco. Installation requires removal of existing pins, and replacements of these pins with Rice Lake load pins and collars.

9. Using grease, lubricate the hole and insert the load pin into the frame ensuring the strain gauge seals are facing toward the front of the truck. The load pins have arrows indicating the downward force, or direction of load applied to register a positive weight value. The load pin should extrude from the outside of the frame 4 inches.

Leave access to easily install the bolt and nut that secures the load cell. Skip weld collar to frame Figure 3-5. Skip Weld Collar to Frame 14. Apply grease to each center pivot using existing lubrication points. 15. Reinstall the load pin, lining up the bolt hole with the hole in the collar. Do NOT strike the load cell directly, as it may cause damage to the load cell.
Installing the Inclinometer Inclinometer should be installed on the hoist as close as possible to the load pins. Grind off any paint or rough areas of the frame. The inclinometer should be installed on a flat surface that will not interfere with any moving parts on the Important frame.
Power Cable Connection to Battery Fuse Blue wire to negative Brown wire to positive Figure 3-8. Power Connection to Battery 1. Wire the fuse (5A) to the brown wire. 2. Connect the power cable to the battery. - Brown wire connects to positive terminal. - Blue wire connects to ground.
Routing Wiring Because each truck is different, cable routing will be specific to the truck the system will be installed on. Plan a route that has little or no risk of pinching, stretching or melting the cables. Important Use split loom on all exposed cable to protect in areas where damage could be an issue. Wire tie any excess cable to the frame.
