Tools Required You will need the following tools to install the trailer scale and airline: • Standard wrench set or adjustable wrench • Flush wire cutter • Needle nose pliers • Flat-blade screwdriver Mounting the Scale There are three ways you can mount the trailer scale. You will use the existing holes on the trailer rail for the new bracket and scale if you are using the Van or Frame Rail bracket for install.
Mounting Flush to the Trailer A flush mounted scale is mounted directly to the side of the trailer. 1. Remove the old scale, you will need to expand the port hole sizes for the new scale. Make sure the back side of the location is free of obstacles and debris that would interfere with the installation. 2. Use the supplied template (#904-0025) or hold the scale in the location you will mount it for reference and cut a hole large enough to fit the port connections on the back. At this point, determine whether you want to connect the power to the display before or after you secure it to the trailer. If after, proceed to step 6 before completing steps 3-5. Reference chart on pg. 5 for connecting power to the scale. 3. Feed the power cables to the back of the trailer display from below the edge of the trailer or through the previously cut hole. 4. Remove the 1295 ComLink cable (only applies if you have a prior model that had a 1295 ComLink). This will be replaced with the new interface cable (#014-0350-101). 5. Plug the power interface cable into Port 1 on the back of scale display. 6. Place the scale over the space you have prepared on the trailer, making sure port holes fit the hole on the trailer. Use the provided bolts, rubber washers (one for each front and back of the scale) and nuts to secure the scale to the side of the trailer. 7. Apply the provided blue Loctite to all threaded bolts to prevent bolts from backing out. Note: The provided rubber washers are required to dampen the vibration.
Mounting with a Van or a Fame Rail Bracket 1. Remove the old scale and bracket. 2. Secure the scale to the bracket by using the provided bolts and rubber washers. Insert one bolt and washer on each side of the scale through each of the scale wing holes. Apply provided blue Loctite on threaded bolts. At this point, determine whether you want to connect the power to the display before or after you secure the bracket to the trailer. If after, proceed to step 4 before completing step 3. Reference chart on pg. 5 for connecting power to the scale. 3. Remove the 1295 ComLink cable (only applies if you have a prior model that had a 1295 ComLink). This will be replaced with the new interface cable (#014-0350-101).Plug the power interface cable into Port 1 on the back of the scale. 4. Secure the bracket to the trailer surface using the existing holes from the previous bracket. Apply the provided blue Loctite to all threaded bolts before placing through the bracket and securing to the trailer, to prevent bolts from backing out. Do not overtighten mounting bolts.

Alarm Installation Note: If you ordered the Alarm Cable with your scale, follow the below instructions for install. Insert the Alarm cable into Port 2 on the back of the scale. The gray, sealed wire from the main wiring harness is the alarm circuit output. It can be connected to any self-grounded alarm device with a current draw of 1.0 amps or less. The alarm output voltage will be the same as the vehicle voltage. You must install a relay for any device that draws more than 1.0 amps. Do not disturb the sealed end of the wire if alarm is not installed. When using an alarm, connect the alarm output wire and the ground return wire to the desired device. Ensure that any unused alarm wires are electrically insulated. IMPORTANT: Leave the dummy plug in Port 2 installed if you are not installing an alarm cable.
Checking the Installation After you finish installing your scale, follow the steps below to make sure you have installed the scale correctly. This will prevent the user from running into issues when calibrating and using the scale. 1. With power to your trailer, turn on your scale. If the scale is off, touch the screen to wake it up 2. Select the image of a wrench to go to the Setup menu 3. Select the medical bag to go to Scale Diagnostics 4. Press the down arrow until you see information on A/D readings. The screen should show a number. That number is your A/D reading. Use the table below to determine if your A/D reading is appropriate. Note: For Full or Dual HCV trailers, you will see two sensor readings from Port A and Port B. 5. If the A/D readings are appropriate, your trailer has been installed correctly. If they are off, check all connections and make sure they are securely attached. Then check the height control valve to see if it is loose or broken, which can cause inaccurate A/D readings.
