Use care when routing the components cables. Route the cables where they will be protected. Use commonly accepted install practices for after market industrial vehicle electronic devices. The installation of the SkidWeigh ED2-EP systems should only be performed by an acknowledged lift truck dealer technician or end user electro and hydraulic technical installer.
Overview of components The standard ED2-EP SkidWeigh Series check weighing system consist of the following components: * Digital LED indicator, with master power on switch, wiring harness, mounting bracket and anti-vibration mount * Hydraulic pressure transducer with 3 wires cable * Installation &...

and the lift motion control event will be automatically enable. (With vehicle stationary and during the lift- ing cycle diagnostic display on some vehicles might show “ No power to lift motor” or audio signal might be activated for short time period.) Consult vehicle wiring diagram or contact the OEM for the proper interface of two black wires to control lift pump motor travel...
Pressure transducer installation precautions Before installation of the pressure transducer the hydraulic lift circuit make sure to be pressure free. Make sure that that installed pressure transducer will not touch any moving parts or assembly of the vehicle while in normal operation.

Verification of the electrical connections done properly - Turn master On /Off switch to on position. The LED display will show the software version. - Lower forks to the ground. The LED display should show Mode 8. - Activate lift control switch and hold it. Forks will be lifted and automatically stop at height predetermined by the input signal from pressure transducer.

Important Note: 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.

Calibration of loaded forks with known calibration load weight Position your electric pallet truck into the skid load with your known calibration load weight. - Lower the loaded forks to the ground. (In our example we will use the known calibration load weight of 4000 pounds) - Start entering a known load weight into digital indicator by pressing arrow up button (increments from 0 to 9) with...
