Overview - RDS Technology Weighlog 200 User Manual

OVERVIEW

1. Overview
The Weighlog 200 is intended for use on industrial and agricultural loading
shovels, fore-end loaders, back-hoe loaders, (loader side only), tipping
trailers and tipping trucks.
It measures, displays and records the net weight lifted, normally based on
sensing the lift system hydraulic pressure. Pressure sensing is problematic
on certain types of equipment due to the design of the hydraulic system. In
these instances strain sensing technology may be used instead. The
Weighlog 200 also has lift speed compensation to improve accuracy when
weighing dynamically.
The instrument has an illuminated 4-digit LCD display, 5 front panel switches,
an external Load Enter Button, and an internal audible alarm. An external
audible alarm is optional. The instrument is normally powered on via the
ignition circuit and recalls the function selected when last used.
There are 5 individual display channels available. These can be calibrated for
up to 5 different loader attachments, different trailers or different
commodities. Each channel will display the net bucket weight lifted at any
time. If required the bucket weight can be added to the total for the channel
in use and will also be added to the TOTAL channel, which accumulates
weight from all of the five channels.
The instrument has a Load Alarm function. If the load exceeds a preset
figure, an audible alarm is triggered and the weight display will flash.
The instrument can be configured to automatically print each bucket weight
entered, or individual load total when the instrument is zeroed for the next
load. Also, you can at any time print out the accumulated total for channel 1
to 5, and the Grand Total (channel 6).
For each channel you can :
Adjust the Weight Calibration Factor
•
Set either Static or Dynamic Weighing Mode.
•
Set the Zero Weight.
•
Display and add the bucket weight to the sub-total.
•
Receive audible alarm confirmation of the zero and load entering.
•
Print the last bucket weight automatically
•
Print an accumulated total
•
Reset the accumulated total (and automatically print a summary)
•
Compensation for variable lift speed (dynamic weighing only)
•
