LNW-4 Important Notice Your new LNW-4, Serial No.___________, was calibrated for installation on a ________________ Make _____________ before leaving the factory. Model Please read the Operating Instructions on pages 4 & 5 and Troubleshooting on page 9 before attempting to re-calibrate the indicator.
Pacific Scale Co., Inc. strongly recommends that when instal- lation procedures are followed which depart from those out- lined herein, the safety of personnel and equipment must be accorded primary consideration.
Note: Many newer systems of 36 Volts or above may need an external Heavy Duty Line Filter (HD-LF) and Heavy Duty Voltage Regulator (HD-VR) to block power spikes from doing damage. Contact Pacific Scale for more information. • 1 •...
LNW-4 DC Power Filters Pacific Scale Co. builds LNW Indicators for use on a wide variety of equipment and vehicles. Our Wide Input Voltage Regulator (WIVR) will work on an input voltage of 12-48 volts DC and has basic power line noise filtering built in.
LNW-4 Installation - While the LNW indicators are capable of very good accuracy on the RUCK ONDITION test bench, the lift truck condition is the primary limit on accuracy. To achieve the best accuracy possible, usually approximately +/- 1-2% of the capacity of the truck, the lift truck should be in good mechanical and hydraulic condition.
LNW-4 Indicator Installation Indicator Installation 1. Power cord should be plugged in and connected preferably direct to the battery. The LNW-4 has it’s own ON/OFF switch and fuse. 2. If the lift truck has twin lift cylinders, be SURE that the hydraulic connection to the LNW-4 is plumbed into the system so it sees the pressure from the two (2) lift cylinders.
LNW-4 Operation Weighing Reference Point Point established for zeroing and weighing. This point must be within the freelift portion of the uprights . First Stage Cylinder The LIFT-N-Weigh will weigh accurately only in the first stage on a truck with telescoping hoist cylinders.
LNW-4 Operation - Weighing (Continued) Zero Set 1. Bring mast to vertical position. 2. Raise forks 2” or so above weighing mark. 3. Jog forks down to mark and press the ZERO button. ZEROING and WEIGHING must be done in the same manner and at the same point for consistent weights. Weighing 4.

LNW-4 Calibration The Lift-N-Weigh is normally precalibrated to the customer supplied lift truck specifications. This is a test bench calibration to the calculated pressure. Because of friction in the lifting mechanism and control valve bleedback, weight errors may exist in the system when installed on the customers equipment.
LNW-4 Calibration (continued) Step 3 - Set Span. Turn on Display Hold. To enable on Display Hold, first turn unit off. Press and hold the ZERO (Red) button while turning power on. Display will then flash, showing a “P” and some numbers. If there are dashes alternating with the “P xxx”, then Display Hold is off.

LNW-4 Calibration (continued) Turn Unit OFF then back ON to return to normal weight mode. Recheck zero, Zeroing if needed. Then pick weight back up to recheck Span. If display shows correct weight, within 2% of capacity, start using scale. If displayed weight is out of tolerance, repeat Step 3 - Set The Span If you do NOT wish to use the Display Hold in regular use, turn off now..
