Setup
Note: This manual covers the operation of the RFX indicator with different RFX
scales. If you have the Precision Hub Plates refer to the Hub Plate users manual
for proper set-up instructions and to the “Quick Start” sections that follow this
section.
NOTE: Motorcycle mode: For motorcycle scale sets use the LF (red cable) pad
for Front and the LR (white cable) for Rear. Refer to the “Special Display” section
for motorcycle operations.
System
indicator
System setup configuration
1. Place the four pads near their appropriate car tire: LF by left front, RF by ri ht front
and so on.
2. Connect one end of each cable to a pad: LF-Red cable, RF-Green cable, LR-White
cable, RR-Black cable.
3. Turn the control box on.
4. If the pad readin s are not zero, press the ZERO key.
5. Jack the car onto each pad.

Operations
There are automotive and a kart versions of the scale systems. The Overview and
Display sections of this manual are desi nated as automotive or kart.
Quick Start (normal)
Setup the scales as described in SETUP on previous pa e. Turn the indicator and
scales 'on'; after a copyri ht screen you will see a display screen to choose a display
format. Press and hold the on button when turnin the indicator on to display the
copyri ht screen lon er
1:OVAL 5:DRAG/RALLY
2:CUP/NW 6:WHT+%
3:ROAD RACE 7: TOTAL
4:DIRT TRK 8: TOTAL + 4
Note: If you have a Kart scale, the second display format is “Kart” instead of CUP/NW
Most of the displays are fixed display formats. However, choice 3 (Road Racin ) is a
dynamic display format which allows the user to choose which wheel wei hts will be
totaled and shown as the selected wei ht.
The four wei hts that are on the first 2 lines are the individual wheel wei hts.
The wei hts are displayed in the same pattern as a car: left front, ri ht front, left
rear, ri ht rear. You can select or deselect a pad by pressin the LF, RF, LR, RR
(left front, ri ht front, left rear, ri ht rear); each time you press the button a select
arrow will turn on and off to the ri ht of that pads wei ht. The third line shows
the selected wei ht and the percenta e of selected wei ht to the total wei ht.
The fourth display line shows the total wei ht on all four pads.

Quick Start (HUB MODE)
This section applies only to customers with the Precision Hub Plate systems. When
usin HUB MODE, please start with the “Quick Start (Normal)” instructions first for the
initial screen setup. The followin section discusses HUB MODE and describes how to
enter the hub compensations for each wheel: Tire Wei hts and Hub Assembly Wei hts.
HUB MODE allows users to compensate for the wei ht difference of the Precision Hub
Plate System and their wheel and tire assemblies.
The compensation formula used by the indicator is as follows:
Displayed weight (for each corner) =
[Uncompensated Weight* + Tire Assy Weight – Hub Plate Weight]
Note on zeroing: If there are weights entered for the hub plate and tire
assemblies pressing the “zero” button will zero the system but the display will
show the difference between the tire and hub plate for each wheel position. This
may result in the indicator zeroing to a non-zero value!
If usin the Precision Hub Plate System, setup the system as described in the SETUP
section of the Precision Hub Plate System User’s Manual.
NOTE: Prior to entering into Hub Mode weigh each wheel and tire and the Hub
Plate assembly that will replace it. Record these values for future use.
Hub Mode Entries
1. Turn the indicator and scales 'on'.
2. Press ZERO and PRINT to brin up the followin menu: (HUB MODE will show
“OFF” if currently disabled or “ON” if enabled):
3. Press “3” to enter the HUB MODE screen:
4. Press “1” to enable the HUB MODE. (HUB COMP should switch to “ON”.)

5. Press “2” to enter the Tire assembly wei hts and the Hub Plate wei hts. You will
be prompted to enter the 4 tire assembly wei hts one at a time. You will then be
prompted to enter the 4 Hub Plate wei hts one at a time. After doin this the
screen will return to the HUB MODE screen
Once HUB MODE has been enabled, the display will show “HUB COMPENSATION
ENABLED!” briefly at power-up whenever the indicator is turned on. This is a reminder
that the system is operatin in this mode, and the wei hts are bein compensated
accordin ly.
Display Contrast
Adjustin the contrast can improve the readability of the display when viewed from
different an les. The display contrast is adjusted by holdin down on the backli ht
button and one of the wheel buttons to ether. If holdin the RF or LF button with the
backli ht button, the contrast will be increased. If holdin down on the RR or LR button,
with the backli ht button the contrast will be decreased.

Overview (Automotive)
The SW Wired scale system is desi ned to independently measure the force applied by
each tire of a car. This is referred to as the ACTUAL wei ht applied by each tire. The
user can enter the desired corner wei hts, which will be displayed as the TARGET
wei ht. The COMPARE wei ht values are the amount of wei ht that needs to be
added or subtracted to a corner wei ht to achieve the TARGET wei ht. (When the
COMPARE value is ne ative (-) it implies that the ACTUAL wei ht is reater than the
TARGET wei ht.)
The SW scale can also perform a number of calculations automatically. Rather than
displayin the wheel wei hts (Actual, Tar et, or Compare) the user can select to display
the wei hts as a percenta e of the total wei ht, or as a percenta e and wei ht.
Additionally the user can select pads in roups (such as left front and left rear, or left
rear and ri ht front) and the scale will calculate what percenta e of the total wei ht that
roup is.
The scale has ei ht default display modes:
OVAL TRACK The followin parameters are displayed: Each wheel
wei ht, left side and rear %, cross %, and the total
wei ht.
CUP/NW
The followin parameters are displayed: Each wheel
wei ht, ri ht side wei ht, front %, cross %, and the total
wei ht.
ROAD RACING Choice 3 (Road Racin ) is a dynamic display format
which allows the user to choose which wheel wei hts will
be totaled and shown as the selected wei ht. Screen
shows each wheel wei ht, selected wei ht, selected % to
total wei ht, and total wei ht.
DIRT TRACK The followin parameters are displayed: left wheel
wei ht and %, rear wei ht and %, cross wei ht and %,
and the rear bite.
DRAG/RALLY The followin parameters are displayed: Each wheel
wei ht, front %, rear %, and the total wei ht.
WHEELS AND
PERCENTAGES
The followin parameters are displayed: Each wheel
wei ht, front ri ht %, left %, ri ht %, wed e, ri ht rear %,
and total wei ht.
TOTAL This option will provide a quick snapshot of the total
wei ht applied to all of the pads in the system.
TOTAL + 4 This option provides total wei ht on all of the pads and
ives each individual wei h applied to each pad.

Overview (Kart)
The SW series scale system is desi ned to independently measure the force applied by
each tire of a kart. This is referred to as the ACTUAL wei ht applied by each tire. The
user can enter the desired corner wei hts, which displays as the TARGET wei ht. The
COMPARE wei ht values are the amount of wei ht that needs to be added or
subtracted to a corner wei ht to achieve the TARGET wei ht. (When the COMPARE
value is ne ative (-) it implies that the ACTUAL wei ht is reater than the TARGET
wei ht.)
The SW500 series scale can also perform a number of calculations automatically.
Rather than displayin the wheel wei hts (Actual, Tar et, or Compare) the user can
select to display the wei hts as a percenta e of the total wei ht, or as a percenta e and

Press the ON/OFF key to turn the indicator on and off.
ZERO
Press the ZERO key to brin up the zero menu. Press LF, RF, LR, or RR to zero
an individual pad or press ZERO to zero all four pads. When the scale is turned
'off' the current zero will be remembered. That means that if a car is on the
wei h pads and the unit is turned 'off'; when the scale is turned 'on' the current
wei ht will be displayed, not zero.
AZT (Auto Zero Tracking)
This system contains a feature called Auto Zero Trackin (AZT), which
corrects sli ht zero chan es durin normal operation. If small wei hts are
added while the display is at or near zero, the indicator may zero them off.
