10. Bringing the system into service
10.1 Turning the system on or off
The system will turn off after 3 minutes, this saves the power of the batteries.
When the batteries are empty, LO-BA will flash in the screen of the indicator. It is still possible to
perform a number of weighing’s before the system turns off completely.
Attention!
It is only possible to press a key when the weight in the display is stable, the “load stable”
indication can be seen in the indicator display. If the load is not stable the keys will not react, this to
prevent mistakes. Weighing or adding a moving load is not accurate.
10.2 Using the reference height
Lift the forks a little bit higher than the point at which the stickers are on the carriage plate and lower
them to the reference height. For more information on the reference height see chapter 4.2
10.3 How can I weigh as accurately as possible?
As explained, the hydraulic measuring is very precise but the accuracy is influenced by the mechanical
parts, for example, through dirt, bad bearings in the mast or internal leaks in the oil circuit. It can also
be influenced when the load which has to be weighed is not in the middle of the forks. Another cause
is that the system is not used correctly.
It is possible to increase the accuracy. How?
•
By keeping the mast vertical during the load measurement. (An angle of 2 to 3 degrees has
almost no influence);
•
By putting the centre of gravity in the middle of the forks;
•
By measuring the load at a fixed height;
•
By not taking the forks to the reference height to fast. It is best to lift the forks past the
reference height (the height of the stickers on the carriage plate and mast) and then lower
them to the reference height. This should be done slowly, without sudden stops;
•
When raising- or lowering the load takes relatively long you have to raise parameter 1.
Raising this parameter increases the measuring time.
Standard P01 is set on 4 sec. (in most cases the correct configuration)
Turn the indicator
