A useful four-function calculator. 3. WEighlog 3.1 WEighlog ModES dynamic Weighing: The weight is measured without interrupting the lift. The load is lifted straight through the reference position. Dynamic weighing can give consistent results without significantly slowing down the loading job, but it does rely on a certain degree of care on the part of the operator.
WeighLog ™ 3.2 MachinE rEquirEMEntS the accuracy of the system depends to some extent on the following: 1. operating temperature: Always allow the machine and the hydraulics to warm up to the normal operating temperature before commencing weighing. 2. Weighing on level ground: Avoid weighing when on a slope or a side slope.
WeighLog ™ 3.4 SEt zEro - The weight should be zeroed if the weight reading for an empty bucket is more than ±0.02 (20 kgs) or in Imperial units ±40 (40 lbs). Press to confirm. dynamic weighing mode: Lift the bucket through the reference position.
WeighLog ™ 3.5 dynaMic WEighing Fill the bucket as normal and crowd it right back. Hold the lift lever back. Lift the bucket smoothly at a constant speed through the reference position, keeping the loader as steady as possible while the weight is taken.
WeighLog ™ 3.6 Static WEighing Lift the load up to the weighing position. The alarm will sound one beep and the “live” weight will be displayed. Keep the loader as steady as possible while the weight is taken. An Overload audible alarm may also be enabled: At 90% to 97.5% of maximum load=...
