OPERATION
AUTOMOTIVE OVERVIEW
The SW500 Wired Scale System is designed to independently measure the force
applied by each tire of a car. The measurement is referred to as the ACTUAL weight
applied by each tire. Corner weights can be entered and will be displayed as the
TARGET weight. The COMPARE weight values equate to the amount of weight that
needs to be added or subtracted to a CORNER weight to achieve the TARGET weight.
For example, when the COMPARE value displayed is a negative (-) value, the ACTUAL
weight is greater than the TARGET weight.
The SW500 Wired Scale System can also perform a number of calculations
automatically. In lieu of displaying the wheel weights (Actual, Target or Compare), the
weights can be displayed as a percentage of the total weight or as a percentage and
weight. Additionally, scales can be selected in groups (for example; left front and left
rear or left rear and right front) and the scale will calculate the percentage of the total
weight that applies to the selected grouping of scales.
The scale has eight default display modes.
