  • Page 507 ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS HANDLE LOAD METER MEASURING METHOD OF LOAD METER It is necessary to understand the measuring principle of the load meter to use it with high accuracy. And pay attention to the following points when calibrating it or use it in actual measurement. Measurement start conditions The measurement starts when the following conditions are satisfied.
  • Page 508 HANDLE LOAD METER ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONS NOTES ON USING LOAD METER AT OPTIMUM ACCURACY Calibration Necessity The machine monitor has registered maps which show the relationship between lift cylinder pressure and loaded weight when the bucket is loaded with no load, 1/2 of rated load, and rated load. To use the load meter at a desirable accuracy when the machine has individual variation in performance or the bucket has been repaired, the saved maps need to be corrected in advance.
