Accuracy and Performance
This manual is primarily concerned with the installation and use of the Flintec FT-30M on board weighing indicator. Accuracy and
performance is dependent on the quality, type and installation quality of the load supporting load cells or sensors. The Flintec DSB7
range of vehicle weighing load cells are ideally suited. Please refer to the appropriate load cell installation manual for the load cells
installed. Optimum on-board weighing performance is obtained when the load cells are installed between the load-carrying body
(compactor body, tipper body, box, tank, flat-bed, etc.) and the vehicle chassis and carrying the entire weight of the superstructure
and payload. No weight-supporting structure other than the load cells, such as braces or gussets should attach the superstructure to
the chassis; this will result in an alternate load-path that will degrade weighing system accuracy. Typical applications include: waste
trucks, tippers, tankers, flat-beds and van type structures mounted on either truck chassis or trailer frame.
Truck bodies and payloads are supported above the chassis with load cells mounted directly to the truck frame (see example
illustrations below). This is usually accomplished by separating the suspension subframe from the body frame and installing load
cells between these structures. Air and fluid pressure sensors, extensometers and other forms of secondary sensor are routinely fitted
to vehicles. The FT-30M is compatible with any sensor with an output range up to 3.5 mV/V.
Applications
Installations are typically accomplished by separating the body frame from the chassis or trailer frame and installing load cells
between these typical vehicle structures;
