SCALE INSTALLATION INSTALL NEW STREET TEE FITTING Remove the suspension air line fitting from the top of one of the air bags. Air Bag Insert a street tee fitting into the top of the Street tee air bag that matches the thread size of the tting vehicle suspension.
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.
