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 technical installer familiar with material handling vehicles operation.
Here are two acceptable methods of making a wire connections:
* Soldering electrical 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.
For vehicles with voltages higher than 55 VDC use voltage convertor ( 36 to 160 VDC, Part No. VC-160)
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.

Overview of components
The standard SC1 / SC2 SkidWeigh Classic check weighing system consist of two main components:
* Compact digital indicator with mounting flange with wiring harness cable
* Hydraulic pressure transducer with 3 wires cable
* Installation & calibration manual and operator usage instruction
SkidWeigh Classic operational principal
The SC1 /SC2 SkidWeigh system operational principal is based on the hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the
vehicle lifting hydraulic circuit between lift control valve and lifting cylinder(s). There is need for external switches,
proximity sensors or specific operational procedure of lifting the forks in order to obtain a proper load weight readout.
