Weighing Methods
SEKO Modular Weighing System with Rinstrum Indicator
Prepared by Technical Support 25 May, 2017
Simple weighing procedure which produces desired weight consistency and accuracy:
Simply "Lift and Weigh":
Load the forks and lift
Allow the scale to calculate and display the weight of the load.
Liquid, dangling and hanging loads can be difficult to weigh because the shifting load produces unstable
inertial and gravitational stresses on the lifting mechanics.
Try to operate the truck to avoid sloshing, swinging or bouncing of the load when lifting to weigh.
The Rinstrum Indicator can be set up for "Live Weight" weighing of unstable loads, such as live animals.
See Section 8.4.7 of the Reference Manual for setup and weighing details.
Weighing liquid, dangling and hanging loads:

Operator Briefing
What is "Scale Weighing Accuracy"?
Prepared by Technical Support 25 May, 2017
What does the term "Accurate" mean?
"Accurate" means that the scale displays the actual weight of the load, within the specified +/-
tolerance of error, plus one display graduation, whichever is larger.
What does the terms "Consistent" and "Reliable" mean?
"Consistent" means that the weights displayed are close in value and not "scattered". We consider
consistent and reliable weights to be those which vary less than +/- one scale display increment.
"Reliable"relates to your level of confidence that the weighing system is producing a consistent and
accurate weight display each time you lift and weigh.

Operator
What does the terms "Scale Error" mean?
******************************
Scale Error or Accuracy is defined as a percentage of full scale capacity.
SEKO Forklift Scale systems utilize Rinstrum's NTEP certified Scale Indicator producing display errors
of less than +/- 0.03% and NTEP certified S-beam type load cells producing signals with +/- 0.03% error.
The SEKO weigh module low-friction mechanical design allows better than +/- 0.1% displayed weight
error in practice.
Mast tilt can cause weighing errors due to the altered gravitational vector producing strain on the scale
load cells. In normal truck operation, this effect is small and generally not noticed.
However, when +/- 0.1% accuracy is essential, we recommend that the Tilt Compensation scale option be
considered. This option will automatically sense and correct the weight display for the effects of load tilt
up to +/- 10 degrees of truck/mast and carriage tilt.
A Note to you, the Operator - Your operation experience is the basis for all that is written in these notes.
Your feedback, comments and recommendations are very important and can aid other operators as the
information is passed along, such as we have done in these notes. I hope these comments have been useful for
your work. Please feel free to call 307-321-4505 for additional assistance and to share experiences of success
and not so successful. Your input will help improve these notes.

Passcodes and Operator Lock-Out
The instrument has two levels of passcodes to provide restrict Setup via the keypad.
Full Setup Passcode (For calibration and Technician Access)
Setting a passcode for Full Setup restricts any access to Full Setup.
Full Setup passcode can also be used to access Safe Setup.
Safe Setup Passcode (May allow limited Operator Access)
Setting a Passcode for Safe Setup restricts access to Safe Setup functions.
Setup Operator Lock-Out
If an attempt is made to enter Full or Safe Setup using an incorrect Passcode, the instrument will respond
with the message ENTRY DENIED and then the user will be returned to normal operating mode.
A Passcode counter has been set so that only three failed attempts can be made to access Full/Safe
Setup. On the fourth attempt the user will be 'locked out' of Full/Safe setup.
Should this occur the ENTER PASS prompt will not display, but instead the ENTRY DENIED
message displays and returns the user to the normal operating mode. To rectify this issue the instrument
must be turned off. When the instrument is turned back on the Passcode counter is reset to zero
(allowing the user to enter the correct Passcode).
SAFE.PC (Safe Passcode for Operator access.) allows partial access to Digital Setup (ie. only
non-calibration/trade critical settings can be changed).
For the Safe Passcode (SAFE.PC) to have any effect, the FULL.PC (Full Passcode) must also be set.
The default Passcode setting is 000000 that allows free access.
Any other number will restrict access.
Range: 000000 to 999999
Default: 000000
FULL.PC (Full Passcode) can be set to restrict access to Full Digital Setup.
This Passcode is used to prevent unauthorized or accidental tampering in the instrument setup.
The default Passcode setting is 000000 allows free access.
Any other number will enable the Passcode functions and restrict access.
Range: 000000 to 999999
Default: 000000
It is important to note that when restricting Full access to Setup the Passcode must not be
forgotten. It is only possible to circumvent the Passcode loss at the factory.
Care must be taken when setting the Full Digital Setup Passcode to ensure that the instrument does not
become permanently locked.

POWER CHECK and Troubleshooting
1. POWER SOURCE
Check to be sure the system has primary DC power applied.
Power should be between 8Vdc and 18Vdc if powered from truck electrical or greater than
6Vdc using fresh "AA" batteries if utilizing internal battery pack.
2. POWER-UP
Press the small UNITS (Power) button to turn on Indicator.
The Indicator should show the Firmware version (A301 v4.16), then count down from
9 to 0 and then display READY.
PRIMARY POWER PROBLEMS:
If the system does not turn ON or not stay ON, or if the system turns OFF unexpectedly:
1. If no characters are displayed, if no back light is seen, check the Primary Power wiring and
connections.
Truck power should be in the range of 11 to 13.8Vdc.
If a Voltage Converter is installed, Primary Power to the Indicator should be the labeled
Output Voltage +/- 20%
Check for correct Voltage polarity at the Indicator Connection.
Note: Use a Voltmeter, if possible, to verify that the proper Voltage and polarity is present
at all test points.
2. If the wiring to the scale indicator is equipped with a fuse, check the fuse.
Note: The standard LTWS-1 hydraulic weighing systems normally consume less than 0.200
Amperes (200 milli-Amp).
The purpose of a in-line fuse is to protect the truck electrical from a catastrophic short in
the weighing system electronics and electrical wiring.
This fuse rating should be in the range of 1.0 Amperes to 10 Amperes.
3. When measuring Primary Truck Voltage, the indicated Truck Voltage should not vary by more
than about 0.1 Vbetween when the indicator is turned ON and turned OFF.
Truck electrical systems, especially older trucks, commonly utilize the truck frame as the
common or negative connection to the battery. It is not unusual to experience high resistance
caused by corrosion or loose fitting of the elements of the chassis between the battery terminal
and the primary power to the indicator.

Power / SetUp
This condition can produce an open circuit Voltmeter indication of satisfactory Voltage, because the
resistance of degraded continuity is difficult to detect in an open circuit. Degraded circuit/wire/
ground connections can often be detected by detecting the difference in Voltage at the load when
OFF and when ON. Resistance of degraded connections will prevent full Voltage when the circuit
load (Indicator) is ON.
If possible, turn the Indicator ON and OFF while monitoring the primary power Voltage. Be alert
for a significant drop in Voltage when the system is turned ON.
For example if the open circuit Voltage is 11.5 and drops to 10 V or 9.5 V etc. when the indicator is
turned ON, this change is an indication that the system battery may need to be charged or that
continuity of the conductors and connections between the battery to the indicator may have been
degraded by corrosion or loosening, etc.
4. During testing, move the Indicator in its bracket while monitoring the Primary Voltage.
The Indicator should not turn OFF. Watch for any disturbance in the display (if the Power problem is
intermittent).
Voltage readings and Indicator Display should show no aberrations, flicker, etc.
If movement of the Indicator affects the Primary Power, test each power connection.
If Primary Power is delivered via a plug at the side of the Indicator, check that the plug is the correct
size to fit the barrel and also the center pin. Install the correct size plug, if this connection is
physically sloppy or electrically intermittent.
If power is hard-wired to the internal Euro connections of the rear panel, remove the rear cover and
check the internal power wiring for connection and continuity.
The Euro connections are spring-loaded with an internal knife-edge. The insulation of the wires
inserted in these terminals should have the insulation trimmed back to expose at least 3/8 inch or
10mm of bare wire.
The bare wire strands would be twisted so that there are no "flying" strands and so that the twisted
wire may be inserted smoothly into the Euro connector block connection.
Depress the loading tab, insert the twisted wire, release the loading tab. Now, give the wire a gentle
tug to seat the internal clamp and assure that the wire does not slip loose.
5. Internal dry cell batteries may be discharged to below minimum Voltage required to operate and will cause
the Indicator to turn Off.
