Installation & Calibration

Product catalog summary
General Installation Guide
This guide provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, calibration, testing, and operation of the ED2-SLL Series SkidWeigh system, which displays load weight as a percentage of the vehicle's lifting capacity. For further assistance, contact Integrated Visual Data Technology Inc.

Safety Precautions
Before installation, disconnect the vehicle battery. Ensure all components are securely mounted and do not interfere with vehicle controls. Installation should be conducted by a qualified technician, using soldering or crimp connectors for secure and insulated wire connections.

Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
The system adheres to CE directives for EMC, ensuring stability against interference and compliance with emission standards.

Components Overview
The system comprises a digital indicator, a hydraulic pressure transducer, and an installation manual. The pressure transducer is installed in the vehicle's hydraulic circuit to measure load weight.

Pressure Transducer Installation
Install the transducer in the lifting hydraulic line, ensuring the circuit is pressure-free. Use thread seal for a secure fit and ensure the transducer does not contact moving parts.

Digital Indicator Mounting
Mount the indicator on the vehicle dashboard or side railing for optimal visibility and accessibility.

Electrical Connections
The system operates on 12 to 55 V DC. Connect the digital indicator and pressure transducer cables as specified. The system includes internal short circuit protection.

Quick Test Procedure
After system connection, perform a quick test by lowering the forks, turning on the ignition, and checking the LED display for correct operation.

Calibration Procedure
Calibration is automatic and involves lifting known load weights. Use the "M" and "Arrow Up" buttons to enter calibration mode and adjust settings. Ensure calibration with a load weight of 30-50% of the vehicle's lifting capacity.

Calibration Starting Point
Begin by lowering empty forks, turning on the ignition, and following the procedure to zero the scale function. Lift the forks just above the ground to complete calibration.

Calibration Steps
1. Ensure the display shows '0' unless previously calibrated.
2. Drive the vehicle into a skid load with a known weight and lower the forks.
3. Calculate the load weight percentage relative to the vehicle's capacity.
4. Enter the calculated percentage using the 'M' and Arrow Up buttons.
5. Lower the forks, press 'M' to advance to Mode 6, and lift the load slightly.

Overload Warning Setup
1. After calibration, lower the forks to display Mode 7.
2. Enter the desired overload value using the 'M' and Arrow Up buttons.
3. The overload value is stored once the Mode 7 digit turns off.

Standard Weighing Procedure
1. Insert forks into the pallet load and lower them.
2. Lift the load slightly; the display will show the load weight percentage.
3. The system updates the load weight every second and provides warnings if an overload is detected.

Overload Warning System
1. The system detects overload events and flashes the overload value on the display.
2. To reset, lower the load to the ground.
3. Optional features include wireless reporting and additional warnings.

Operational principal The ED2-SLL Series SkidWeigh system operational principal is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the vehicle lifting hydraulic circuit that will automatically activate the “weighing cycle / specific algorithm ” every time a skid load is lifted just above the ground. The increase in pressure is converted in an electronic signal at the sample rate of 16000 readings which is converted into a load weight reading. Pressure transducer installation The pressure transducer must be installed in the lifting hydraulic line between the lift control valve and lift cylinder(s)....

“Quick test to determine if electrical connections are done right” Note: SkidWeigh weighing calibration function is not done yet at this stage. This procedure is only to test if electrical connections of the system installation into the vehicle is done properly! After you have connected electrical power and pressure transducer cable you can “quickly” check the system operation. - Lower the forks to the ground - Turn On ignition switch - Digital LED display will be activated, showing software version and serial number - Number 8 will be shown on LED display above the Mode sign. -Go ahead and lift...

Important: If you want the system to show load weight in pounds, use the known load weight in pounds and enter that value accordingly. The same would apply if you want the system to show load weight in kilograms. Use the known load weight in kilograms and enter that value into the system accordingly. Digital Indicator (Calibration and two keys description) - Upper right button “M” is used to enter calibration mode and to shift left to the next digit. - Lower right button “Arrow Up” is used to enter numerical increments from 1-9, wrap around. - Both buttons are used during the system calibration....

Automatic zeroing is done ! 2. Calibration of loaded forks lifted just above the ground At this point drive your vehicle into the skid load with known weight and lower the loaded forks to the ground. (In this example the known load weight is 1000 kg) EXAMPLE: 1.YOUR KNOWN LOAD WEIGHT TO CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM IS 1000 KG 2. LIFT TRUCK MAXIMUM LIFTING CAPACITY IS 3000 KG. Use a following formula to arrive to the % value that you will have to input into the system. Known Load Weight X 100 Known Load Weight ( %) = Lift Truck Maximum Lifting Capacity 1000 X 100 Known Load Weight (%) = Use value of 33...
