    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.
  • Page 8: Installation

    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.
  • Page 9: Indicator Installation

    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.

  • Page 12 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.
