RW Onboard Load Scale User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Installation & Operation Manual for the Right Weigh 201 series Load Scale. This manual provides detailed instructions for installing, calibrating, and operating the scale on vehicles with air or spring suspension systems. It also covers important details like setting up operating modes, security PIN codes and performing troubleshooting. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about this device and the information presented in the document.
  • What is the operating temperature of this device?
    What is the power requirement for the gauge?
    How often should I re-calibrate the scale?
    What should I do if there are erratic/inaccurate weight readings?
    What should I do if the gauge is reading "noAir"?

DO NOT connect directly to a baery or any constant power source, gauge should be connected to a switched
source so that it can be disconnected from power when not in use. Most users connect the power to vehicle
marker lights or the AUX/ABS wire.
Electrical connecons MUST be insulated, see Appendix B for instrucons.
!
If you need to change the number of strain sensors at any point, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the scale
2. Press and hold the C HIGH buon and the MENU buon, press the POWER buon, then release all 3
3. Use the UP arrow buon to change the number of strain sensors to the number desired
4. Turn off the scale to save seng
Please note that by changing the number of strain sensors the scale recognizes, all calibraon data will be LOST
