Safety
Always disconnect the vehicle battery while installing SkidWeigh system or any other electronic product.
Make sure that unit, pressure transducer and any other associated cables are securely mounted and do not impede any
of the vehicle’s controls. Use care when routing the components cables. Route the cables where they will be protected.
Use commonly accepted install practices for after market industrial vehicle electronic devices.
The installation of the SkidWeigh systems should only be performed by an acknowledged lift truck dealer technician or
end user electro and hydraulic technical installer.
Here are two acceptable methods of making a wire connections:
* Soldering your connections (recommended)
* Crimp connectors ( with the use of the proper crimping tool)
Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that the connection is mechanically sound and properly insulated. Use
high quality electrical tape and shrink tubing where necessary. This product is connected directly to the vehicle’s ignition
switch, 12 to 55 VDC. There is no on-off switch on the unit.
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility
CE conformity to EC directive 89/336 (EMC) by application of harmonized standards: Interference stability EN 61000-6-2
and EN 61326-1 interference emit EN 61000-6-3, EN 61326-1 for the pressure transducer.

Operation
The ED3/ED4-AT SkidWeigh Plus operation is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the vehicle
lifting circuit
Pressure transducer installation
The pressure transducer must be installed in the lifting hydraulic line between the
lift control valve and lift cylinder(s).
Mount a T-piece in lifting hydraulic line.
Pressure transducer installation precautions
Before installation of the pressure transducer the hydraulic lift circuit must be
pressure free.
Pressure transducer has 1/4”-18 NPT male thread. Use thread seal to ensure tight fit.
Selecting the mounting location for digital indicator
Note: Use the mounting bracket with the anti vibration mount and fasten digital
indicator on the vehicle dashboard. There are many examples of mounting
locations that will depend on the vehicle model. However, additional mounting
items such as a flat brackets may be needed to help secure digital indicator.

Electrical connections
All SkidWeigh Plus systems operate from 12 to 55 VDC.
- Orange Wire (+) Ignition switch
- Brown Wire (-) Battery negative
- Red Wire, connect to RED wire of the pressure transducer cable
- Black Wire, connect to BLACK wire of the pressure transducer cable
- White Wire, connect to WHITE wire of the pressure transducer cable
Power short circuit protection
All SkidWeigh systems are internally short circuit protected with resettable fuse. There is no need to install external inline
fuse in orange wire connected to the ignition switch.
Note: All data is recorded in excel file.
Verification of the electrical connections done properly
- Turn on vehicle power switch
- Lower forks to the ground
- Digital LCD display will be activated, showing software version and serial number
- Digital LCD display will show current date and time
If the above test is valid than the system electrical connections are done right.
