Overview and Safety
1.1. Overview
This precision digital indicator uses advanced firmware and the LUA module to perform
axle weighing. The category logging program records truck weights to a database for
later recovery using a USB drive. There is a soft power on/off function that retains
memory of its state. Once an instrument is turned on it will automatically start up again
if the external power is interrupted. Day-to-day settings (Clock, Trucks, and Pre-set
Tares etc.) are retained when power is removed.
The instrument provides zero, truck and re-print on the fixed function keys and supports
special functions (farm/field setup, 1 key access to configuration menu.), via function
key and remote inputs (clickers). The up/down arrow and [ok] keys are used in most
menus to make selections.
There are various features written into the LUA module that are very useful for this
specific application. The discard timer allows for weighing first then setting up the truck
id. The farm configuration data can be setup to individual trucks for unique data-basing
options.
Many of the features and functions described in this manual may not be available in all
versions of the axleWEIGHr. Due to variations in Firmware and various applications not
all features described in this manual may work as described.
1.2. Operating Environment
Temperature: 14 °F to 122 °F (–10 to +50°C ambient)
Humidity: <90% non-condensing
Storage: –20 to +50°C ambient (-4 °F to 122 °F)
IP66 panel mounted
1.3. Electrical Safety
For your protection all mains electrical hardware must be rated for environmental
conditions of use.
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible power socket outlet.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the instrument, always unplug or
isolate the console from the power supply before maintenance is carried out.
1.4. Cleaning
To maintain the instrument, never use harsh abrasive cleaners or solvents. Wipe the
instrument with a soft cloth slightly dampened with warm soapy water.
