1 Overview
The Weighlog Ex is a CAN-based system that measures, displays and records the net weight lifted, based on
sensing the lift system hydraulic pressure.
Main components
Two pressure sensors [1], [2] are installed into the hydraulic lift system, with possibly two more [3], [4] installed on
machines fitted with accumulator-assistor cylinders. The pressure signals are captured, filtered and corrected by measuring
the angle of the main boom using an inclinometer [5]. Slope corrections are made from another inclinometer [6] on the
chassis. Dipper arm position is measured from a mechanical angle sensor [7] mounted on the boom to dipper arm pivot.
As an added option, oil temperature compensation is provided by a clamp-on sensor [8]. An ultrasonic sensor [9] is
used to provide reliable and precise bucket compensation.
All signals are processed in a separate Weighing Module [10], and the resultant weight calculation is sent via
CANBus to the head unit [11]. Load and store information is saved in the head unit where it can be distributed to an
in-cab printer, modem or internal SD card.
SQL database capability with up to 8 reference fields, provides virtually unlimited inputs of products, customers,
trucks, hauliers, locations, destinations, mix blends and notes.
Video input for switching the head unit into reversing camera mode, removes the need for an additional display
monitor.

Weighing modes
When used dynamically, the pressures are captured through a set weighing zone.
The system may also be used in static weighing mode. The boom can either be lifted to a set weighing position
where the pressure is captured, or measured constantly in a “live” mode at any required boom height.
Both dynamic and static weighing positions are adjustable by the operator to suit any job required, which will
enable the machine to be used at its most efficient output.

•Printing with configurable output
Hard copy of load summaries and job totals.
•Calibration 'Nudge'
Quick and easy calibration adjustment to match site reference
e.g. weighbridge.
•Internal Audible Alarm
Set to alarm at overload threshold (90% and 100% of max. load)
•System 'Pause' mode
Disable weighing mode during non-weighing tasks.

Chassis Angle Display
The instrument can be configured via the ‘Home Screen Functions Setup’ screen in
the ‘Calibration’ menu, to display the Chassis angle (Uphill / Downhill) in place of an
Information Store.
The Status Bar
Touchscreen
The instrument has a 5-wire resistive touch screen. 5-wire technology offers superior life and reliability without
requiring re-calibration. However, it consists of a polyester film outer layer that must be treated with respect,
compared to a non-touch display with toughened instrument glass. Therefore, pleas observe the following,
DO NOT use a sharp-pointed object - the screen will be damaged beyond repair!
Do NOT wipe or otherwise attempt to clean using any kind of solvent cleaner!.
Do NOT wipe using a dirty cloth or gloves. Use only computer screen wipes designed for the purpose!.
You may use a blunt, smooth-ended plastic object (e.g. a pen body / cap) as a stylus, if found necessary!
