2 The Loadrite LR810 Weighing System
The Loadrite LR810 weighing system measures the weight of loads lifted by
front end loaders, log loaders, fork lift trucks and similar machines which
use hydraulic rams to lift the load.
The heart of the system is the LR810 indicator which provides a keypad for
entering instructions and LCD screens to display readings and messages.
The indicator has internal memory which stores settings and production data
even when switched off.
The LR810 is installed in the cab of the loading machine and is connected to
sensors on the lifting arms.
2
2 The Loadrite LR810 Weighing System
Weight Measurement
The LR810 measures the hydraulic pressure in the lift cylinders as the
machine raises the load. The indicator converts pressure into a weight
reading and displays the value.
An electronic trigger device mounted on the lift arms ensures that the
pressure readings are always taken at the same position on every lift.
The weight of the bucket or forks and associated structures is zeroed out
when the system is calibrated so that only the weight of the payload is
displayed.
When a weight is displayed, the driver can add it to a total or use one of the
other functions described later in this manual.
Displays
The LR810 provides two displays.
The top display gives instructions and information to the operator, including
product names and weight data.
The bottom display shows the current weight as it is lifted, then shows the
total weight loaded or weight required to reach a target, depending on the
mode of operation currently selected.
Both displays on the LR810 can be backlit for ease of operation in low light
conditions.
3
2 The Loadrite LR810 Weighing System
Indicator Lights
The LR810 provides three indicator lights (positioned between the two
displays).
TRIG Light
This light comes on when the lifting arms have passed the trigger point.
This indicates that the displays now show the currently lifted weight.
TARE Light
This light is on when a tare has been entered. This means that the LR810 is
subtracting the tare weight from the lifted weight and is displaying the net
weight.
Optical Trigger
To ensure consistent and accurate measurement, the LR810 system
incorporates an optical trigger which initiates the weight measurement as the
lifting arms pass a certain point.
4
3 Getting Started
3 Getting Started
Switching On
The on / off switch is on the right hand side of the casing, just below the
rubber mounting bush.
On power up, the upper display shows a sequence of check messages and
then the Ready message (or Warm Up message - see below).
The lower display shows the total weight recorded when the LR810 was last
turned off.
Warming Up
For best weighing accuracy, the hydraulic fluid in the lift cylinders should be
at normal operating temperature.
If the machine has been standing idle or used only occasionally during the
last 30 minutes, the empty bucket should be lifted a few times. A zero
check should be performed before weighing.
You can ignore the readings on the weight displays as you warm up the
machine.
You need to do three lifts before the display shows Check -00-.
Refer to section 8 on how to zero the LR810.
5
3 Getting Started
In total mode the LR810 displays each weight lifted and the running total as
you add weights.
In target mode the LR810 displays each weight lifted and the amount to go
to reach a specified target.
Details of total mode and target mode are given on pages 9 and 11
respectively.
Multiple Products
The LR810 allows you to weigh and store totals for up to sixteen different
products. The selected number of products are enabled when the LR810 is
installed.
The top display shows the name (number) of the currently selected product.
If your LR810 is set up for one product only, the display simply shows Total
instead of a product name.
6
4 Weighing - Overview
4 Weighing - Overview
When ready to weigh, the LR810 displays Ready on the top display.
There may be other information on the top display, depending on the mode
of operation.
The total (or target) weight is shown on the second line of the top display
and on the large bottom display.
Weighing a Load
In the diagram above, the lifted weight is 2200kg and the total so far is
5600kg.
While the TRIG light remains on (few seconds), you can:
• Press ADD, to add the displayed weight to the running totals.
• Press SUB, to reduce the running totals by the displayed weight.
• Press ZERO to zero the measuring system.
7
4 Weighing - Overview
Multiple Scales
If the multiple scale option is enabled in your LR810, you can measure
weights using Scale 1 or Scale 2.
Scale 1 and Scale 2 allow two different load bearing implements to be used
for lifting. For example, two different types of bucket/fork attachments.
The scale currently in use is displayed on the top line of the display.
8
5 Total Mode
5 Total Mode
In total mode the LR810 displays each weight lifted and the running total as
you add weights.
The short and long totals are independent and are individually cleared and
restarted as necessary.
You can return to total mode from Target mode by pressing TOTAL.
Short Total
The short total is typically used to display the total weight lifted onto a
truck.
As you add successive loads, the LR810 displays the weight of the current
load and the updated short total (sum of the loads so far).
The LR810 displays short totals on the second line of the top display and on
the lower (large) display.
The next ADD operation starts a new short total for this product.
9
5 Total Mode
Long Total
The long total is typically used for accumulating the weights lifted over a
longer period; for example a shift or a day.
(In this example, the long total for product number 1 was cleared.)
The next ADD operation starts a new long total for the current
product.
10
6 Target Mode
6 Target Mode
Target mode allows you to enter a target weight and then load up to that
weight in a series of lifts.
Each time you lift and add a weight, the LR810 displays the remaining
amount to reach the target.
Target mode is used typically when loading a truck to its optimum payload.
Target mode is an optional feature which can be enabled when the LR810 is
installed.
3. Enter the new target using the number keys 0 to 9, or simply press
ENT to select the displayed target weight again.
You can use the CLEAR ENTRY key to correct any errors made while
entering the number.
The indicator displays the amount “To Load” to reach the target and
goes to the Ready state.
11
6 Target Mode
2. The LR810 returns to the Ready state with the new “To Load” amount
displayed.
At this stage you can press TARG to enter a new target weight or continue
weighing with the current target weight.
You can still add the weight to the totals in the normal way.
12
7 Product Names
7 Product Names
Identification/Tracking
The LR810 allows you to weigh and store separate short and long totals for
up to sixteen different products.
The number of products and names for them can be entered when the LR810
is installed.
When used with an LD640 data logger, the LR810 can track up to 999
different products, but these can only be identified by number.
Multiple Products
If your LR810 is set up for multiple products, the display shows the name of
the currently selected product.
The LR810 maintains a separate short and long total for each product. The
ADD and SUB functions only affect the totals for the current product.
13
7 Product Names
Notes
• If you do not select a new product within a few seconds, the LR810
reverts to the original product.
• You can select a different product in the middle of a total or target
operation and return to the original at any time without losing the data.

Subtracting a Weight
The subtract function subtracts the lifted weight from the short and long
totals for the current product.
This can be used, for example, when a log has been added and then removed
from a truck.
Another example is when only part of a final bucket load of loose material is
required. You can add the full bucket weight and then re-weigh and subtract
the amount remaining in the bucket.

12 Weighing with Tare
2. Enter the tare weight using the number keys 0 to 9 and press ENT.
(You can use the CLEAR ENTRY key to correct any mistakes.)
3. The LR810 briefly confirms the tare entered.
Note
The LR810 rounds the tare weight to the weighing resolution of your
installation. If the weighing resolution is set to 100kg and you enter a tare
of 260kg, the LR810 rounds the tare weight to 300kg.
Notes on tare
• Whenever the tare light is on, the LR810 displays the net weight of the
product.
• You cannot tare out negative weights.
• If you enter a tare for a container or pallet and then lift the forks
empty, the LR810 displays the negative of the tare weight.
24
13 Operating with Interlock (not part of standard LR810 installation kit)
4. Lift the load smoothly until the LR810 beeps and the TRIG light
comes on.
5. You can then add or subtract the load as normal.
If you attempt to weigh when the interlock light is not on, the LR810
displays a message and no weight is measured.
25
14 Additional Data
14 Additional Data
If this feature is enabled, the LR810 allows you to enter three numbers
which provide additional information to the weight data.
Each number has a label to identify it. The specific labels for your LR810
are set up at installation time.
Typical labels might be, for example:
Customer number
Truck number
Docket Number
When you press the DATA key, the LR810 displays the three labels in
sequence and you can enter the relevant numbers for the current load. The
numbers can be up to 8 digits long.
If you have the appropriate equipment installed, this information can be
stored in the data logger and / or printed with the weight data.
Note
If you have an on-board computer, the third number can be altered remotely
from the computer or made to increment automatically when the CLEAR
key is pressed.

18 Obtaining the Best Accuracy
Trigger Point
The hydraulic pressure required to start lifting is much greater than is
required to keep the load moving smoothly upwards. It is important that the
load is moving at a steady speed when it reaches the trigger point.
We recommend that you:
(In terms of time, at least 2 seconds of lift before the trigger point.)
Bounce
Most loaders have pneumatic tyres which can cause the machine to bounce
when lifting. Any bounce causes variation in the hydraulic pressure and
affects the accuracy of the weight measurement.
Always operate the lift lever before accelerating the engine and as
recommended above “Start the lift well below the trigger point”
Centre of Gravity
The hydraulic pressure in the lifting cylinders depends on where the centre
of gravity of the load is.
It is important that:
The bucket is always in the same position - fully rolled back
Uneven Ground
Uneven or sloping ground changes the pressure required to lift a load and
hence affects the accuracy of weighing.
Whenever possible:
Avoid weighing on uneven or sloping ground.
36
18 Obtaining the Best Accuracy
Temperature
The temperature of the hydraulic fluid in the lifting cylinders affects
weighing accuracy. If the loader is idle for more than an hour, the oil cools
down.
If practical:
Warm the oil to the normal working temperature before weighing
37
19 Span Calibration Correction
If your LR810 is set up to use two measuring scales, both Scale 1 and Scale
2 calibration must be adjusted.
To perform the adjustment you need to obtain a security access code from
your Loadrite installer.
WARNING
The LR810 alters its calibration every time this function is used. It is
important that you only use this function once with a given set of data. If
the same weights are entered again, the LR810 will over correct and its
accuracy will be seriously impaired.
Suppose a bucket loader loads aggregate onto trucks which then proceed to a
weighbridge (scale house). The figures of the loads are as follows:
4. Press ENT. The LR810 prompts you to enter the security access code.
38
19 Span Calibration Correction
7. Press ENT. The LR810 prompts you to enter the Loadrite value for
the weight.
8. Enter the Loadrite weight (26.000 in this example) and press ENT.
The LR810 prompts you to enter the weighbridge value.
Notes to remember:
All trucks and trailers should have tare weights checked for all loads to be
checked. This ensures that a true weight can be established. Avoid split
weighing.
39
20 Changing the Backup Battery
When the battery requires changing, the LR810 displays a “Low Battery”
message each time the unit is switched on.
When this message appears, you should install a new battery as soon as
possible.
The battery compartment is at the top of the rear of the LR810 indicator.
All totals + time/date.
WARNING - memory lost if power off and battery out for 30 seconds

21 Error Messages
21 Error Messages
Lift Speed Changed?
For accurate measurement, the speed of raising the lift arms must be smooth,
without acceleration or deceleration.
The LR810 can detect changing speed as the arms go past the trigger point.
If this occurs, the indicator displays the following error message.
Bouncing Load
If the lift arms are bouncing significantly while weighing, an error occurs.
This can happen if, for example, the loader is driven over uneven ground
while lifting the load.
The LR810 can detect a bouncing load and if this occurs, the indicator
displays the following message.
41
21 Error Messages
Trigger Fault
The optical trigger uses light beams to sense the position of the lifting arms.
The light beams are quite powerful and pass through normal build up of dirt
or dust. However, a large chunk of dirt or mud may block one of the beams.
If this occurs, the indicator displays the following message.
If this occurs, clean the faces inside the U shaped trigger sensor with a damp
cloth. There are two dark lenses on either side through which the light
beams pass. In most situations, the beams are never blocked. However, in
extremely dusty or damp environments, regular (say weekly) cleaning is
advisable.
Warning
Avoid using abrasive cleaners
