Introduction

Product description

FT-30M is an on-board digital indicator with a clear and easy to read LED touch 
screen display. It is designed for industrial road vehicles, trailers and agricultural 
machines. It is modular plug & play, easy to install and use. It provides users with 
precise weight information where and when it’s needed. It has two input channels for 
separate groups of load cells. The RS485 and RS232 communications ports allows it 
to integrate with PLC systems and devices such as printers.

Applications

The FT-30M is designed to work with a range of Flintec products and other makes of 
load cells and sensors.

Fits neatly into spare radio slots, panel-mount or on the dash.

FT-30M is a simple to use on-board vehicle weighing indicator. Its easy-to-read full 
colour LCD touch screen gives operators the power to control payloads, maximise 
profits and avoid dangerous overloads. Simple on-screen menus mean drivers can 
choose between Net, Gross, Percent, Collected or Delivered weights. 

It’s packed with standard features such as on-screen customer identification, printing 
and storing weighing transactions as well as high security anti-tamper pin code 
protection and on-screen diagnostics. It’ s compatible with a range of accessory 
devices for maximum vehicle utilisation and payload efficiency. On screen calibration 
makes set-up simple.
