4.4 Recommendations to increase the accuracy
By using the following points, you can ensure that the system works as precisely as possible.
(see also chapter 10.1)
•
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;
•
Friction in mechanical parts such as the mast, the precision rollers and bearings influence the
accuracy of the weighing. Therefore it is important that these parts are in good condition:
- No local wear
- Clean
- Well lubricated mast and chains
- Regular maintenance
•
Use the lift truck at least for 5 minutes or move the forks up and down several times (5 x)
before the zero weighting and/or the first weighing is carried out;
•
Weigh on a fixed height
;
•
Do not rise the forks to the reference point to fast. The best way is to raise the forks above the
reference point (the point where the stickers on the fork carriage and the mast are opposite of
each other) and then lower them down to the reference point. Do this slowly, without sudden
stop;
•
When reaching the reference height, the weight will be fixated on the display. The weight is
not secured at loads below 20 reading steps;
•
Make sure the system is relieved before beginning a new weighting;
•
If the RCS sytem is installed on a new lifttruck, it is recommended that you perform a
recalibration after 3 months and 1 year.
The hydraulic weighingsystem has a tolerance of max. 2% of the capacity of the weighingsystem.
At a capacity of 2500 kg that is a difference of 50 kg! When used properly the accuracy is usually
significantly higher.
