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
prots 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 identication, 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 eciency. On screen calibration
makes set-up simple.

Dimensions and Mounting Options
Versatile Mounting Options
The indicator is sized to t neatly into the spare radio DIN slot in vehicle cabs and be unobtrusive to the driver’s eld of vision. A RAM
swivel-mount option allows the indicator to be positioned and adjusted to suit in-cab conditions and the position of the driver. A
range of bracket accessories is available to adapt to any kind of installation. An IP68 enclosure option allows it to be tted outside of
the cab; e.g. on the side of the trailer.

Installation
Radio DIN Mount Assembly
Industrial vehicles have spare radio slots for after market hardware
devices. The FT-30M is sized to t the DIN specication of radio slot.
A DIN radio kit comprises two ears, a zinc plated DIN cage, extraction
keys and screws.
In the truck cab, locate a suitable spare DIN radio slot. Remove the
existing cover plate. The DIN cage ts snugly into the opening right
up to the lip of the DIN cage. Before you push it in, pull the wiring
cables through the cage.
Once in place, use a small screwdriver or similar tool to pry down on
the securing tabs around the perimeter of the cage so they grip the
inside the opening. This will prevent the cage from slipping out or
tilting from the weight of the FT-30M.
The DIN cage is symmetrical, either way, top and bottom, left and
right. Some vehicles may already have an ‘ISO Mounting’, this means
the DIN cage is not required, the FT-30M will t snugly into the
opening without the cage.
Connect the power and signal connectors to the back of the FT-30M.
Screw the DIN mounting ears to the FT-30M using the Torx screws
provided.
Push the indicator in to the DIN cage until it snaps into position.
Remove the FT-30M using the two extraction tools, place the keys
into the slots located in either ear and press downwards so they grip
inside the ears, gently pull on the keys and the indicator pulls out.
RAM-Swivel Mount
Locate the most convenient place for mounting the indicator. When
attaching the RAM mount ensure sucient headroom, bear in mind
there will be cables wired into the back of the indicator, make sure to
allocate enough space for them. Device support manufacturers such
as RAM, Tallon and others supply an extensive range of RAM-Mount
and Tallon accessories.

Accuracy and Performance
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, at-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, at-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 uid pressure sensors, extensometers and other forms of secondary sensor are routinely tted
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;

lifting hoists on waste refuse collection vehicles.
Pressure
sensors
• Air pressure sensors
• Fluid pressure sensors
For applications where pressure sensors are preferred
such as vehicle air pressure suspension systems -
typically 20 bar with a mV output. Hydraulic pressure
sensors on vehicles tend to be 150 bar, mV output.
Load cells and load sensors
FT-30M is compatible with any load cell or sensor with a strain gauge output and the new DSB7 range of high accuracy, high
capacity truck load cells 7.5t, 15t & 25t. Each IP68 load cell is tted with a 5 meter fully sealed M12 cable connector.
