1. Assigning a PIN number during the system set up process will protect the calibration procedure from tampering Normally a PIN number is not assigned until AFTER the scale has been calibrated See Section IV C for PIN information 11 A 1 5th Wheel Location for Calculated Steer If your truck scale system uses the Air Weigh calculated steer weight method the steer axle weight is determined by the load on the drive suspension and the position of the 5th wheel In that case the 5th wheel must be in the same position to weigh as it was when calibrated The kit includes 5th wheel decals to remind the driver where the calibration weighing position is located In normal operations a driver will set the 5th wheel in a position that allows a maximum GVW load with 12 000 lbs on the steer axle 34 000 lbs on the drive axles and 34 000 Ibs on the trailer axles For calibration and weighing Air Weigh recommends setting the 5th wheel to the position where both the steer and drive axle weights can be maximized legally or where the 5th wheel is used most often The calculated steer axle weight will only be accurate when you weigh with the 5th wheel in the same location as it was when the scale was calibrated The 5th wheel location affects the accuracy only of calculated steer axle weights It will not affect either the drive axle weights or sensor based steer axle weights Once you have positioned the 5th wheel in the notch that is used most2. error status the QuickLoad Scale s software version numbers and its serial number and inclinometer diagnostics Use the up down arrows lt 4 w gt to scroll between the three SYSTEM STATUS displays which together show this information DIAGNOSTICS ALARM WEIGHTS MENU ALRM WEIGHTS Shows the programmed warning and alarm weights for each axle group GVW and Net Values are shown on a different display for each axle group or GVW or Net Use the up down arrows lt A w gt to scroll between the axle groups TEST ALARM Causes both QuickLoad Scale alarms to be actuated for three seconds DIAGNOSTICS SENSORS MENU 27 A D READINGS Shows the sensor reading for each axle group in A D electronic values For air suspensions this diagnostic also shows PSI and Bars Values are shown on a different display for each axle group Use the up down arrows lt A v gt to scroll between the axle groups A reading of 409 on an air suspension indicates a sensor fault sensor cable unplugged no sensor etc For model numbers with averaged dual sensor readings A D will flash By pressing the lt ENTER gt button you will be able to view the individual AD readings CALIB DATA Each axle group has values shown on three different displays The first two are considered User Data while the third is considered System Data Use the up down arrows lt A w gt to scroll between the different displays and axle groups The first display per axle
