REMOTE TRAILER CONNECTION The 201-RTS series load scale has the option of being connected to any Right Weigh remote trailer sensor. When connected to the remote trailer sensor, the load scale displays the weight of the trailer axle group based on calibration data that is saved to the remote trailer sensor itself.
SCALE OPERATING MODES The next few pages cover the operation modes that are built into the 201-257-01 and 201-257-02. 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.
SCALE OPERATING MODES SENSOR AVERAGE (AVG) In Sensor Average mode, a 201-257-01 or 201-257-02 will display a single weight for the drive axle group and a separate weight for the trailer axle group. The small number on the lower left of the display indicates which axle group is being shown.
CALIBRATION The 201-257 series load scale must be calibrated both empty and loaded to work properly. The scale associates the air pressure in the suspension system to the weight you enter 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.

If the HCV is not functioning correctly, the air pressure applied to the suspension system could be inconsistent and/or erratic. To test for an HCV problem, acquire a weight reading from the Right Weigh gauge and write it down (refer to gauge operating instructions for proper procedure). Drive the vehicle around the block and return to the same location.

TROUBLESHOOTING APP WON’T CONNECT TO THE GAUGE Scale is connected to a constant power source: The gauge should never be connected to a constant power source, rewire so that it is connected to a switched power source. If the gauge is powered too long it can stop transmitting a Bluetooth signal and may need to be disconnected and reconnected to work again.
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 very important that all wiring connections be made watertight. Connections which are not watertight can allow moisture to travel through the individual strands of the wires and make it’s way into the scale, causing permanent damage to the electronics. Heat shrinkable splices are included in the 201-SK Installation Kit.
