SPECIFICATIONS & OVERVIEW The Right Weigh 201-EBT-02(B) digital load scale has two internal air pressure sensors. This scale will monitor one air suspension axle group with two Height Control Valves (HCV) or two axle groups with one HCV each. An axle group can be either a single, tandem, or triple set of axles on the truck or trailer.

INFORMATION RWLS APP It is required that the operator use the Right Weigh App to connect to all MSU’s (gauges) on the vehicle. If the operator is driving a vehicle with more than one MSU, the MSU’s must be added within the app in front to back order. Bluetooth connection must be maintained with all MSU’s on the vehicle in order for the weight information...
SCALE INSTALLATION & ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The 201-EBT-02 scale is designed to be mounted on the outside of a truck or trailer, however it must still be mounted in a protective enclosure. A protective box and mounting bracket are included with the 201-EBT-02B.

DROP & HOOK TRAILER ENABLE FEATURE ON SCALE With the scale OFF, press and hold PRESS both the UP arrow and MENU buttons and then press the ON/OFF button. Release all 3 buttons. The scale will display “A2”. This means the scale has TWO air sensors.
OPERATING MODES The next few pages cover the operation modes that are built into the 201-EBT-02(B). The load scale can only be setup in one operating mode at a time. If the mode is changed, the calibration data will be reset to factory defaults, requiring re-calibration.
OPERATING MODES SENSOR AVERAGE (AVG) Drop & Hook Trailer Feature Off In Sensor Average mode, a 201-EBT-02(B) installed on an axle group with two HCVs will display one weight reading for only the axle group it is connected to. Drop & Hook Trailer Feature On If the scale has been installed on a drive axle group and configured to use the...
OPERATING MODES INDEPENDENT + ESTIMATED STEER MODE (S-IDP) In Independent + Estimated Steer mode, a 201-EBT-02(B) installed on a dedicated tractor-trailer set with sensor A connected to the drive axle group and sensor B connected to the trailer axle group can also estimate the steer axle weight.
SENSOR AVERAGE + ESTIMATED STEER MODE (S-AVG) In Sensor Average + Estimated Steer Mode, a 201-EBT-02(B) installed on a tractor to monitor a drive axle group with two HCVs will also display an estimated steer axle weight. If the scale has been configured to use the Drop &...
CALIBRATION The 201-EBT-02(B) load scale must be calibrated both empty and loaded to work properly. The scale associates the weight you enter with the air pressure in the suspension system at the time of calibration. You will need to calibrate once while the vehicle is empty, and again while the vehicle is loaded for each axle group being monitored.

The following is a list of additional parts needed for air line installation. This list is just a suggestion and may not be all of the parts needed for your specific vehicle. Check with your Right Weigh dealer for optional installation kits.
APPENDIX B It is important that all wiring connections be made watertight. Connections which are not watertight can develop corrosion and result in loss of contact over time. Heat shrink type butt connectors are recommended. Crimp each end of the wire into the connector with a wire crimp tool (tool not provided).
APPENDIX C GENERAL APP INFORMATION Be sure to add the scales on the app in the correct order (front to back). SCALE 1 SCALE 2 SCALE 3 If the trailer scales are in the wrong order, delete them and re-add them in the correct order.
