PRODUCT OVERVIEW Technical Specifications: 2.5” 63 mm Operating Temperature: -4° F to +160° F (-20° C to +70° C) Storage Temperature: -22° F to +175° F (-30° C to +80° C) Voltage: 9 VDC to 32 VDC (Switched) Current: 200mA 2.4”...
INSTALLATION The 202-DDG-03 scale is designed to be mounted inside the vehicle cabin, it is not for outdoor use. The following steps will walk you through how to correctly mount and install the gauge. CHOOSE MOUNTING LOCATION The gauge can be mounted in the dash panel either using an existing factory gauge hole or by creating one.

COMPLETE SCALE SETUP USING THE SETUP WIZARD Once the scale is connected to power, initial startup will prompt a “Setup Wizard” that will guide you through a COMPLETE SETUP of the scale. Below is a list of settings that will require your input: - Language - Units Setup Wizard...
CALIBRATION OVERVIEW The 202-DDG-03 load scale must be calibrated both while 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 the axle groups being monitored.
EMPTY CALIBRATION 1. While the vehicle is empty, obtain axle group weights from a certified in-ground scale. 2. Park on a level surface. Shift the transmission to neutral and set the parking brakes. Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement, then release the parking and service brakes. 3.
LOADED CALIBRATION 1. While the vehicle is loaded, obtain axle group weights from a certified in-ground scale. 2. Park on a level surface. Shift the transmission to neutral and set the parking brakes. Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement, then release the parking and service brakes. 3.
OPERATION & WEIGHING Follow these steps while weighing your vehicle: 1. Park on level surface. Shift the transmission to neutral and set the parking brakes. 2. Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement, then release the parking and service brakes. 3.
SENSOR CONFIGURATION The axle names displayed on the weight screens and their association to each air sensor are configurable and can be set to match your vehicle. This setting is part of the "Setup Wizard" completed at the time of initial startup. To change the axle names or sensor associations after initial setup, follow the steps below: Weight Summary (lbs) Set Up...
ESTIMATED STEER FEATURE If the 202-DDG-03 load scale is used to monitor a tractor's drive axle group the Estimated Steer feature can be enabled to display and additional axle group weight for the steer axle. Estimated Steer uses the air pressure measurement from the drive axle group along with user-entered calibration values for the steer axle to calculate an accurate steer axle weight.
MULTIPLE TRAILER FEATURE The 202 series gauge has an optional “Multiple Trailer Calibration” feature. This feature can save calibration values for up to 9 different trailers for operators that pull more than one trailer. Choosing to enable or disable the Multiple Trailer Calibration feature is part of the Setup Wizard completed at the time initial startup.
Page 18
MULTIPLE TRAILER FEATURE With the feature enabled, a "Change Trailer" button will now be available on the trailer weight screen(s) to access nine different trailer calibrations. Each of the nine selections will need to be calibrated both empty and loaded while connected to it's corresponding trailer.

RESET CALIBRATION DATA In rare cases, it might be necessary to reset the calibration data back to the original default values. To reset the calibration data to the default values, follow these steps: Weight Summary (lbs) Set Up Reset Calibration Data Settings Est.
RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT If there is a problem with the gauge, it may be necessary to reset it completely back to factory default settings. This will remove previously set calibration data, air sensor configuration and names, PIN code, etc. To reset the gauge, follow these steps: Weight Summary (lbs) Set Up...
To test for an HCV is malfunctioning or broken 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. Acquire a second reading from the Right Weigh gauge.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM SOLUTION CAUSE Weight shows “0” The gauge is not receiving any Check the air pressure by going to Setup > Diagnostics and looking at each air sensor being used. Each one should be between 2 and 75 psi. If pounds or kilograms air from the axle group(s) this pressure is lower than 2 psi, the gauge is not receiving any air...

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM SOLUTION CAUSE Connect the scale to a switched power source between 9 and 32 VDC Scale is not connected to a Scale Does Not Power switched power source of (typically either the vehicle marker lights or the AUX/ABS wire). If there is between 9 and 32 VDC a bad connection in the circuit which causes voltage to drop below 9 volts, the scale will not power on.
APPENDIX A The following is a list of additional parts that may be needed for air line installation. This list is just a suggestion and may not be all of the parts needed for your specific vehicle. These parts are included in installation kit 101-SK (sold separately): Street Tee Fitting The thread size should...
