Reference/Direction Sensor
First establish the most convenient weighing
position. If possible sensor position should be
at the middle of the lift height. In some cases
this is not possible. Position the sensors so
the weight reading will be obtained as high
as possible .The sensor and magnet must be
arranged so the magnet is opposite the sensor
face at the weighing position. The sensors are
identified by the tags "R"for Reference and
"D" for Direction Sensor.
NOTE: If you take the sensor clamp apart when
the sensors are reassembled the direction
sensor must be on the bottom (first sensor
the magnet will pass).
1. Lift the bucket to the height you want the
weight reading to be taken.
2. General purpose mounting brackets are
provided which can be modified if
necessary. The sensor can be mounted
parallel or at right angles to the lift arm.
Its recommended that the sensor be
positioned at least 10 inches from the lift
arm pivot point.
The magnet should pass the end of the
sensor, 1/4" to 1/2" away from the sensors
as shown.
Use caution positioning the brackets
to ensure they will not interfere with
the lift arms when fully raised!
