7.0 Lift to Weigh
Some tipping-body applications for on-board scales are best done utilizing the Lift-To-Weigh program. The lifting
ram(s) can be scaled using a pin, load cells, or pressure transducer to measure the load once the ram is activated.
These installations require that the body be elevated only slightly (about 4 to 6 inches) for accurate payload
weights to be displayed.
7.1 Using Lift-to-Weigh
1. Make sure Lift-To-Weigh has been enabled. See “Advanced Setup” on page 22.
2. Make sure the display is set to show NET, not GROSS.
3. The indicator’s weight display will show bars along the bottom of the main display when the body is in the
down (relaxed) position.
4. Use the standard calibration procedure for calibrating the empty and loaded weights, except that the body
must be raised slightly for each calibration. See “Calibration” on page 5.
5. The Lift-To-Weigh program places a +/-500 lb/kg threshold around the empty weight entered. This threshold
requires that a minimum of 500 lb/kg of material be present in the body for the scale to display payload
weight.
