Can you really tell the difference in weight of Dry material or Wet material? With the same size bucket weighing dry and wet material can make a big difference. It can be hundreds of pounds in a single load.

Angle Sensor Install
Angle sensing technology - inclinometer
An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument for measuring angles of slope (or tilt), elevation or inclination of an object with respect to gravity. It is also known as a tilt meter, tilt indicator, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator. Clinometers measure both inclines (positive slopes, as seen by an observer looking upwards) and declines (negative slopes, as seen by an observer looking downward).

TOP MASTER one of the most technologically advanced weighing systems, despite its ease of use (user friendliness). It has been programmed with all the information necessary for better management of your machinery. Graphic display of Truck loading and bucket displays for total,single and bucket counter. Easy to read 16 character names for all data displayed, Water proof (IP65), compact graphic display w/integrated processor. TOP MASTER is a weighing system which can measure the load on moving mobile machines.
 User installable!
 Just 1 day to install & Calibrate!
WEIGHING MODE The system is based on the measurement of the pressure of the lifting cylinder in the up phase (by means of the pressure transducer) and the calculation of the up speed (with proximity switches or inclinometer). To perform the weighing just lift the arm keeping the motor revs constant, keep the lifting lever hooked and wait for the unit to give the whistle which signals when the system is performing the weighing. It is important during this “whistle” not to alter the conditions of use: the upward movement must remain constant, as must the motor revs. The machine must work as level as possible and should be subjected to as few jolts as possible. When the “whistle” is finished the central unit will display weight.

Some of the key features include:
• alphanumerical display
• Unit of Measure Selection ( Ton, Kg, Tu, Lbs)
• Operating Voltage: 10-30 Vdc
• Speed Compensation
• Temperature Operating Range: -22°F to 158°F / -20°C to 70°C
• Target Weighing limits with visual warning, Count up or count downloading features
• dynamic weighing (without stopping the lifting movements)
• display of partial weights and relative totals automatically summed without operator intervention
• possibility of partial zeroing for precise fillings
• setting of 1000 different customers with name, address, etc.
• setting of 200 types of goods with name
• setting 50 different operators
• setting 500 truck No's.
• setting 100 projects
• sum of the partial loads going up
• subtraction of the partial loads starting from the target
• display of totals for goods
• 2 RS-232 outputs ports
can save 4 different machine calibrations (program up to 4 system on one meter)
• can set the maximum load also if the system has a printer:
• print tickets for each weighing
• print total ticket at the end of each load
• end of day (week, month or year) summary grouped together by type of material loaded.
• date and time TOP MASTER systems have RS-232/C serial communication for connections with other intelligent external units: infrared port
Optional: Top Share software for data collection via com port on meter.

What You Should Know!

Why it saves you money:
No more Overweight Fines: Everyone can understands that!
Eliminate Legal Liabilities: With accidents involving an overloaded trucks.
Cut Maintenance Costs: Reduces maintenance expense on springs, brakes and tires cause by overloading.
Increase Driver Efficiency: By loading trucks to maximum legal loads without running to the scale to check the load.

Loading light to avoid over weight fines can cost a company thousands of dollars a year in lost profits. When your trucks are paid for how much weight they deliver you want your trucks to carry their maximum load each time you send a truck on a job. Not only is it important that your trucks carry their maximum load but your bucket loader must be able to load the trucks quickly and accurately to be cost effective to use. When the truck driver has to stop at the scale get a weight to see if they are light or heavy. It can be very costly retuning to the pit to load or unload product. This takes valuable time and increases the cost of the product. It just makes sense to load the truck right the first time.

What you should know about the Hydraulics, of any Wheel Loader.
Do not install any wheel loader system on any loaders that are poorly maintained.
Hydraulic leak can degrade the performance of any system.
Under powered loader can cause hydraulics to surge. This is caused by over sized buckets installed on your loader.
With each of our system you will receive helpful information that will increase the accuracy of your system.

What you need to install scale:
Customer may need to drill & tap in to the hydraulics. Customer is responsible for hydraulic fittings for the pressure transducers connected to the pressure lines of the machine. You will need One flange block or tap the hydraulic line. The pressure sensors supplied are equipped with ¼” BSSP ¼NPT to ¼ BSSP adapter comes with kit.
• The customer to have a mechanic on site to tap into hydraulic system.
• Tools for install.

What you need to calibrate scale:
• Calibration of this system requires a known weight.

Most customers calibrate with on site with available materials. Scale must be calibrated at full capacity of the loader! Load a truck, verify the weight on a truck scale. Using the nudge feature in the scale indicator, correct the calibration as needed. (If calibrated with less than full capacity of bucket the weights may not be accurate)

Note: The weighing system is hydraulic based. The hydraulic system on the machine MUST be free of any leaks or defects. Mechanically, the machine must be sound. Free of play in boom upper structure. Any discrepancies in the areas will result in improper operation of the weighing system.
