The Loadrite Weighing System measures the weight of loads lifted by small front-end loaders, forklift trucks and similar machines that use hydraulic rams to lift the load. The Loadrite is installed in the cab of the loading machine and is connected to sensors on the lifting arms.
LOADRITE SPRINT OPERATORS MANUAL The Loadrite has internal memory which stores settings and production data even when switched off. Indicator Lights The indicator lights are provided below the LCD screen. Trigger Check Auto-Add Trigger Illuminates when a load is lifted past the trigger Pages 5 point.

Switching On The Loadrite powers up automatically when you switch on the ignition of the loading machine. If the Loadrite has been switched off for more than 30 minutes, it displays the Warm Up screen when powered up. Standby The Loadrite has a ‘standby’ mode which is similar to turning the Loadrite off.
The Ready screen shows the ready status and the short total. The short total is simply the sum of loads since you last cleared the total. When the Ready screen is displayed, the Loadrite is ready to weigh. R e a d y...
Static Weigh function The Loadrite has an option known as ‘Static Weigh’. When this is used, the weight display is always ‘live’ and no trigger is used. The ‘Trigger’ light is used to indicate that the weight being measured is ‘stable’...

Total mode. This is, as you add bucket loads, the weights are added to the totals. The short total is displayed. Short and Long Totals The Loadrite keeps a total of the bucket weights that you add. Two independent totals are stored. Short Total Typically used to display the total weight loaded onto a truck.
The Loadrite beeps, turns the TRIG light on and displays the load. (See also page 5). ADD. The Loadrite waits for a few seconds for you to take one of the following actions: • Press to add the weight to the long and short totals, or •...
The Loadrite updates the total and returns to the Ready state. (New total 7800) The Loadrite has an option to use a remote add button. If fitted the remote add button is normally mounted on the lift lever. Auto-Add Auto Add is an optional feature that is selected during installation. If Auto Add is enabled, the Loadrite can automatically operate the ADD function every time a load is lifted past the trigger point.

Zeroing when Auto-Add is On The procedure to zero may be different when Auto Add is on and Auto Add Time is set to 0 second. If this is how your Loadrite is configured, you will need to carry out the following procedure:...

6 Print Functions Printed Data When a Loadrite printer is connected, weight data can be printed as you weigh loads. The print options need to be set up at installation time. The data can be automatically printed when particular functions are performed as listed below.
Lifting Speed The hydraulic pressure required to lift a load varies with the speed of lift. The Loadrite electronically corrects for most variations, but better accuracy is obtained if you limit the range of lifting speed used. Keep engine revs constant.
Module Data Lost The Loadrite has an ability to store data internally in the event that the Data Logger Module LD941 is absent or full. The Loadrite will generate this message when the internal data storage is full and some data has been lost as a result.
LOADRITE SPRINT OPERATORS MANUAL Module Error The Loadrite has detected an error when writing to the LD941 data logger module. Check that the module is securely connected to the Loadrite. Module Full The Loadrite has detected that the LD941 data logger module is full.
The Loadrite zero function can only zero up to 4% of full scale. See page 13 for details. Warm Up Lift This message appears if the Loadrite has been switched off for more than 1 hour. You need to lift the bucket/forks a few times to warm up.

Checking the Adjustment You can check the Calibration Adjustment by obtaining and comparing new Loadrite and Weighbridge Values. If necessary, the Calibration Adjustment can be performed again using the new data. Notes to remember: All trucks and trailers should have tare weights confirmed for all loads to be checked.
