Descriptive Annex

1 INTRODUCTION This instrument is designated the QTLTSC Forklift Scale System consisting of an electronic indicator (FLI-225 ANALOG or FLI-425 ANALOG), connected to a QTLTSC Analogue Scale Carriage and Summing / Angle Box assembly to create a Class III or IIII, self-indicating non-automatic weighing instrument.

The instrument shall not be used for direct sales to the public. 2 DESCRIPTION 2.1 Construction 2.1.1 Indicator (Figure 1) 2.1.1.1 FLI-225 ANALOG The indicator enclosure is manufactured from a composite plastic front section, with a stainless steel rear cover. The LCD display and the operator function keys are located on the front of the enclosure. The rear cover houses the power and interface connectors.

Main features:

− Backlit dot matrix LCD display – 19 mm high weight display, with multiple lines of additional data

− Nine hard Keys – STANDBY, ZERO, PRINT, SELECT, TARE, F1-F4

− Two RS232 serial ports – allow data transmission and peripheral connection, including optional Wi-Fi module.

− Load cell and inclinometer conditioning and digitising electronics. The FLI-225 ANALOG Indicator may only be connected to a QTLTSC Analogue Forklift Scale Carriage and Summing / Angle Box as detailed in 2.1.2 below.

2.1.1.2 FLI-425 ANALOG The indicator enclosure is manufactured from a cast aluminium front section with a stainless steel rear cover. The LCD display and the operator function keys are located on the front of the enclosure. The rear cover houses the power and interface connectors. A foam rubber cushioned case surround is provided to prevent injuries from accidental head contact. Main features:

− 7” Touchscreen TFT colour LCD display – displays up to 19 different data fields simultaneously.

− Four hard keys – STANDBY, ZERO, STORE, F1

− Windows CE.NET® Platform – compatible with existing Information Systems infrastructure

− Flexible Data Transmission – stored data can be transmitted via serial ports, USB (e.g. memory stick, portable storage device), Ethernet or optional Wi-Fi module.

− Load cell and inclinometer conditioning and digitising electronics.

The FLI-425 ANALOG Indicator may only be connected to a QTLTSC Analogue Forklift Scale Carriage and Summing / Angle Box as detailed in 2.1.2 below.

2.1.2 QTLTSC Analogue Forklift Scale Carriage and Summing / Angle Box (Figure 2)

The QTLTSC Forklift Scale System load receptor consists of a weigh carriage, which is fitted with a load cell assembly of four load cells as described in 2.1.3 below. This carriage fits onto the existing forklift truck carriage. The forks of the truck are placed onto the weigh carriage. The front and back plates of the weigh carriage are coupled together by the load cell assembly, thus eliminating flexures.

The system is fitted with a junction box containing the load-cell summing circuitry along with transverse and longitudinal angle sensing devices. The output from the junction box is transmitted to the attached indicator for filtering, digitising, processing and display.

The indicator compensates for up to 8° longitudinal (forward or back) tilt and up to 4° transverse (left or right) tilt. When these angles are exceeded, the display will show an error code consisting of a line of dashes with the word ‘Over Angle’ across the top of the display.

2.1.3 Load cells

The load cells used in the QTLTSC carriage assembly described in 2.1.2 are as follows:

Manufacturer Avery Weigh-Tronic LLC, USA

Carriage capacity 2500 kg 5000 kg

Type Weighbar LTT-2.5k Weighbar LTT-6k

Emax 2500 lb 6000 lb

2.2 FLI-225 ANALOG Operation

2.2.1 Switch-on

At switch-on, the instrument will show an information screen while completing the boot sequence, and will then start in standard operating mode.

2.2.2 Display test

A test routine is initiated on power-up, and additionally a diagnostic routine may be initiated that exercises all display pixels.

2.2.3 Zero-tracking

Zero tracking will operate when the indication is at zero, or at a negative Net value equivalent to Gross Zero; and when the display is stable and at a rate of ≤ 0.5 d/s within 4% of maximum capacity.

2.2.4 Semi-automatic zero setting

The zero button operates provided the instrument is within a range of not more than 4% of maximum capacity and the weight value is stable.

2.2.5 Over- and under-range

Any loads greater than maximum capacity + 9 e will display an error code shown as a line of dashes with the word ‘Overload’ across the top of the display. Loads below zero, will display an error code shown as a line of dashes with the word ‘Underload’ across the top of the display.

4/14

2.2.6 Semi-automatic tare

A semi-automatic subtractive tare device is provided. This is set by pressing the TARE key once the weight is stable. The instrument display returns to zero, and the annunciator changes from Gross to Net. The tare will remain active until it is cleared.

2.2.7 Net/Gross indication

Once a valid tare has been stored, switching between Gross, Tare and Net indication can be achieved by pressing the SELECT key. The state of function is shown by annunciators in the display.

2.2.8 Printing

Printers can connect to the indicator via peripheral interfaces. The indicator may be programmed for printing combinations of Gross, Net, Tare (semi-automatic), date and time of printing and transaction number. Reports such as accumulated total weight, and transaction summaries may be produced. Pressing the PRINT key will start a printing operation.

Printing will only take place if the weight is stable.

2.2.9 Identification number

An Installation Identification Number, Forklift Identification number and Scale Identification number may be stored in the FLI-225 ANALOG instrument. These numbers may be used for the identification of printouts.

2.2.10 Date and time

The date and time of transactions may be shown on printouts. The date and time may be altered via the password protected user management menu.

2.2.11 FLI-225 ANALOG Software and Verification Information

Software

The software is held on the Flash Memory and cannot be modified without gaining access to the internal PCB.

The current software information is displayed in the ‘About FLI 225’ screen which can be navigated to from the password protected User Management menu. To access the menu, follow the following steps:- Press and hold the SELECT key for approximately 5 seconds, then release the key when the display starts flashing… The password entry screen shown below is displayed:

5/14

Enter the password for the User Management menu (111 is the default password), using the Up or Down Arrow softkey to scroll up and down from zero as necessary. Press the ZERO key to move to the right, then repeat these steps until all the digits have been entered. Press the Enter softkey… The User Management screen is now displayed. To access the About FLI 225 screen, press the Down Arrow softkey as necessary to highlight About FLI 225 and press the Enter softkey.

2.3.6 Tare

2.3.6.1 Semi-automatic tare

A semi-automatic subtractive tare weighing device is provided. This is set by pressing the TARE key once the weight is stable. The instrument display returns to zero, and the annunciator changes from Gross to Net. The tare will remain active until it is cleared.

2.3.6.2 Preset Tare

A Preset tare value (up to maximum capacity) can be manually entered by using the touchscreen, and can be associated with a specific identification. When a Preset tare is in use the value is displayed in the separate ‘Tare’ field of the display.

2.3.7 Net/Gross indication

Once a valid tare has been stored or selected, the Tare weight is displayed in the ‘Tare’ field, while the Net weight is shown in the main weight display. Switching between Gross and Net indication may be implemented by pressing the optional SELECT softkey. The state of function is shown by annunciators on the display.

2.3.8 Printing

Printers can connect to the indicator via peripheral interfaces. The indicator may be programmed for printing combinations of Gross, Net, Tare (semi-automatic), Preset tare, date and time of printing and transaction number. Reports such as accumulated total weight, and transaction summaries may be produced. Pressing the ‘Print’ key will start a printing operation.
