Installation PM Onboard Connecting the Display Rear Connections Various connectors are used on the back of the TruckWeigh display. These are shown on the right. Connecting the Display to a Power Supply The power is supplied to the display through a 3 Amp blade type fuse from the battery live (24Volt) feed.
Installation PM Onboard Fitting the TruckWeigh Display Depending upon customer requirements, there are three methods of mounting the display available: DIN Slot Mounted • Bracket • Trailer box mounted • DIN Slot Mounted This method can be used if there is an available DIN slot in the vehicle cab, usually the dashboard, or on larger vehicles also in the trim area above the windscreen.
Installation PM Onboard Removing the TruckWeigh Display To remove the display from a DIN slot: • Insert the two removal keys (notch facing downwards) into the two slots on either side of the display, just far enough to hook the notches over the fascia.
