Operational principal The ED2-AT Series SkidWeigh system operational principal is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the vehicle lifting hydraulic circuit that will automatically activate the “weighing cycle / specific algorithm ” every time a skid load is lifted just above the ground. The increase in pressure is converted in an electronic signal at the sample rate of 16000 readings which is converted into a load weight reading.
Choose the correct location and make sure that: - Indicator is visible and within reach of the operator - Location so that operator does not hit a head Compact size All of the SkidWeigh systems are compact size, housing dimension of only 120 x 80 x 55 mm.

“Quick test to determine if electrical connections are done right” Note: SkidWeigh weighing calibration function is not done yet at this stage. This procedure is only to test if electrical connections of the system installation into the vehicle is done properly! After you have connected electrical power and pressure transducer cable you can “quickly”...
Important: If you want the system to show load weight in pounds, use the known load weight in pounds and enter that value accordingly. The same would apply if you want the system to show load weight in kilograms. Use the known load weight in kilograms and enter that value into the system accordingly.

Automatic zeroing is done ! 2. Calibration of loaded forks lifted just above the ground At this point drive your vehicle into the skid load with known weight and lower the loaded forks to the ground. (In this example the known load weight is 4000 kg) - Start entering a known load weight into digital indicator by using arrow up button (increments from 0 to 9) with wrap around function.

- With forks on the ground press “M” button to advance to Mode “6” and lift loaded forks just above the ground. Within few seconds display will show the value of the known load weight. Standard ED2-AT SkidWeigh System Weight Calibration Function For Standard ED2-AT Series Is Done OPTIONAL (ED2-AT-SM): Overload Warning Input Value Procedure In order to input the overload value into the system you must lower the loaded forks to the ground.
