2 THE PRINCIPLE OF THE PALLET TRUCK SCALE
The pallet truck scale consists of the following components:
1. Mechanics
2. Load cells
3. Indicator (module)
4. Battery
2.1 MECHANICS
The mechanical part is the pallet truck chassis with a special fork construction.
For the weighing system the pallet truck fork consists of two parts:
1. The basic chassis
2. The upper forks
Between the lower / basic fork construction and the upper fork, sensors / load cells
are mounted that will sense the force placed on the upper fork.
2
1
It is most important that all forces pass through the load cells and that no parts of the
basic fork, pushrod or load wheel holder of the pallet truck have mechanical contact
with the upper fork (weighing part).
VHT-SH-e-0910 5

2.2 LOAD CELLS
One of the two most important components of weighing pallet truck are the load cells.
A load cell is a rectangular steel component, built in the special pallet truck chassis,
in the lower part of the fork. The load cell has a deformation 0.07mm under a load of
1000 kg. This deformation depends on the weight of the load. In the load cell,
electrical resistor, called strain gauges, are glued to the load cell body.
Strain gauge
The electrical resistance of the strain gauges in the load cells changes linearly with
the deformation of the load cell.
The load cell is connected with four wires to the indicator. Two wires, black and red,
supply an input voltage to the load cell. This voltage to the load cells is called
excitation. The output voltage of the load cell, called “signal”, green and white wires,
depends on the strain gauge resistance change.
With a maximum load on the load cells (example: 4 x 1000 kg), the signal voltage
(caused by the change in resistance) is approximately 0.01 Volt. The signal voltage
at 100 kg is only 0.0002 Volt. The signal change level with 1 kg weight change is only
0.000002 Volt. When working with such small electrical signals, the cabling has to be
100%. Therefore, the signal is transmitted from the load cells to the indicator via a
special cable. All connections have to be soldered and humidity or corrosion of
contacts will cause instability in the reading.
6 VHT-SH-e-0910

2.3 INDICATOR
The indicator operates like an ohm/voltmeter. The change in resistance is measured,
translated and displayed as a weight. The indicator is a multitude more accurate then
a multimeter but in a very limited voltage range. It measures micro voltages at
extreme high accuracies, independent from temperature changes and distortion of
radio frequencies.
Because of the extremely small signal levels the board is very sensitive to humidity
and contact with chemical substances that will influence the solder contacts.
2.4 BATTERY
The power supply takes place via an 12V interchangeable battery module
(VHT-A01).
VHT-SH-e-0910 7

3 POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
The most frequently occurring causes of malfunctioning of the weighing
systems are:
•Supply: Worn out battery, fuse, or power supply
•Bad or broken contacts
•Jammed or worn out cabling
•Loose screws or bolts
•Mechanical problems: the upper part of the fork has contact with the chassis or
lifting mechanics of the pallet truck due to deformation, wear or accumulated dirt.
•Moisture in the electronics or load cells
These problems cause 99% of all possible failures and will result in the
following problem descriptions:
A. Nothing works. The display is dead, even when pressing the keys.
B. The indicator is unstable; the weight readout goes up and down.
C. Different weights are displayed for the same load when weighed several times.
D. The weighing system is accurate with lower weights but inaccurate with higher
weights.
E. The weighing system is inaccurate, however, the inaccuracy is linear, meaning
the error is always the same percentage of the weighed load.
F. Without a load, a positive or negative weight is displayed and it is not possible to
reset the display to 0kg. The scale reacts normally when a load is placed on the
scale.
G. An error message indicates over- or underload, with or without load on the scale.
H. The display does not react to loads being placed on or removed from the scale.
I. Keys do not work.
J. Segments fail on display.
For error messages displayed on the indicator, please refer to chapter 9.

4 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM AND WHERE TO LOOK
FOR CAUSES
A. Nothing works. The display is dead, even when pressing the keys.
1Check battery and charger.
6Check the indicator.
JIs the safety fuse still good, or is there a bad contact?
B. The indicator is unstable; the weight readout goes up and down.
2Check the mechanism of the fork construction.
4Check the load cell cables and the load cell calibration board.
6Check the indicator for moisture or loose contacts. (5.6.2) up to (5.6.6)
3Check the load cells.
JAre the screws tight?
C. The same load is lifted several times, but different weights are
displayed.
2Check the mechanism of the fork construction.
3Check the load cells.
JThe weighing parts may not have contact with fixed, non weighing parts.
D. The weighing system is accurate with small weights, however, it is
inaccurate with heavy weights.
2Check the mechanism of the fork construction.
JBecause of the bending of the loading part of the system, the weighing part
has contact with the rigid part of the system.
E. The weighing system is inaccurate, however, the inaccuracy is linear.
This means that with a load of 100 kg the inaccuracy is 1 kg, with 500 kg it is
5 kg, and with a load of 1000 kg the inaccuracy is 10 kg.
JSee calibration procedure.
F. Without a load on the forks a negative or positive weight is displayed. It
is not possible to reset the display to zero. The system works normally
once a weight is placed on the unit.
5See calibration procedure.
JThe zero setting has a restricted capacity. Calibrating the system will bring
the zero setting to within the restrictions.
H. The display does not react to loads being placed on the scale.
6Check the indicator. Only 5.6.1 and 5.6.4.
4Check the cabling.
3 Check the load cells.
I. Keys do not work.
6Check the indicator.
J. Segments fail on display.

5 EXPLANATION OF POSSIBLE CAUSES AND HOW TO
FIX THEM
5.1 CHECK BATTERY
•Check the battery
Empty battery can be replaced with an 12V interchangeable battery module
(VHT-A01).
5.2 CHECK MECHANISM
5.2.1 Check whether weighing is obstructed mechanically.
Weigh yourself while standing on the extreme corners of the system. Your
weight must be identical on all corners. The difference between the weights
maybe up to one graduation.
If this is the case, it may be concluded that all load cells are working and the
mechanics are fine with small loads.
After finishing this test, load the weighing system with a normal or heavy load.
Using the tare key, the display is reset to zero. Now, with this weight on the
scale, load the corners of the weighing system by placing your own weight on
top or side of the weight that is on the scale. Each corner should give an
identical read-out plus or minus 1 or 2 kg. If the read-outs are not identical and
show a difference larger than 2 graduations, see 5.2.2.
5.2.2 Try to determine where there is interference between weighing and non
weighing components.
It may be necessary to dismantle the system to see where the interference
occurs. Often there are traces on the paint that indicate the most likely place. If
there is doubt, assemble the weighing system with paper placed between the
weighing and non weighing parts. After loading the system to its full capacity
and maybe by moving (shacking) the load side ways, traces on the paper will
show where the friction might be.
Determine what can be done mechanically in order to end this friction. e.g.
align the load cells and the upper fork shoes, allow less moving space for the
lifting mechanics in the forks like the push rod and the load wheel holder. It
might be necessary to align the rods of the load wheels to prevent them from
touching the load cells. It can be that with an unloaded truck it is not possible
to see that friction does occur. Therefore see if the rods can touch the load
cells by pushing them towards the load cells. Clean the inside of the forks.
5.2.3 Are the bolts tightened correctly?
The load cells are mounted with bolts. These must be tightened correctly.
Check if all bolts are tightened firmly.
5.2.4 Are the fork shoes mounted freely? (Always check this!)
Underneath the pallet truck you can see whether the fork shoes are mounted
correctly and do not interfere with the frame (basis of the forks) at the sides.
Especially welding of the load wheel axel fixture can interfere. Sometimes
pieces of wood or stone can cause friction between weighing and non-
weighing parts.
10 VHT-SH-e-0910

5.3 CHECK LOAD CELLS
5.3.1 When the weighing system is inaccurate, check whether all load cells
give the same weight
Using your own weight, this is very easy to check. Weigh yourself while
standing on the extreme corners of the system. Your weight must be identical
in all corners. It may vary one graduation. When the load cells get older, or
when one of them has been replaced, the difference may become somewhat
larger. When a large difference occurs, continue from 5.3.2.
5.3.2 Check whether the problem lies with the load cells or with the
mechanism
Dismantle the forks shoe (or the upper part of the fork). Place bolts in the
assembly holes of the load cells. Balance a test weight of approx. 1% of their
capacity on each load cell (on the bolts) and check whether each load cell
gives the same weight. The maximum difference may only be
1 graduation. When the difference is larger see 5.5. If there is no difference,
see 5.2.
5.3.3 If a high weight is shown, without a load, and it is not possible to
calibrate to 0kg, check if the load cells are working correctly.
Try to recalibrate the system (see 5). To check whether the problem is caused
by the indicator, it is most simple to replace the indicator and perform a simple
calibration. If this does not solve the problem see 5.3.4 and 5.3.5.
5.3.4 When the indicator shows an error message or is unstable
Turn off the indicator and measure with an ohm/voltmeter whether the
resistance between all load cell wires and the pallet truck chassis is infinite. No
resistance value at all is allowed between the black, white and green load cell
wires to the chassis.
The resistance between disconnected load cell excitation wires; black and red,
should be:
+/- 350 Ohm if one load cell is checked
+/- 87 Ohm if all 4 load cells are checked when connected parallel.
These values should also be measured between the load cell signal wires;
white and green.
With the indicator turned on, between the load cell excitation wires (black and
red) the following values should be measured:
•Standard system and without printer: 3.3 V DC.
•Legal for trade system (class III) and / or with a printer: 2.5V AC. Because
of a block voltage, depending on the voltmeter, a voltage between 2.2 or
2.5 will be measured.
If not, the indicator has a problem.
With the indicator turned on, with no load on the forks, between the load cell
signal wires, green and white, the following values should be measures:
•Standard system and without printer: 0.000 to 0.002 V DC. (V AC for
printer and /or approved systems)
VHT-SH-e-0910 11

If the signal level is higher or negative, there is a problem with the load cells.
If the signal is only slightly higher, it may be that it works anyway but may be
temporary.
If a problem is found, the last test can be repeated with the individual load
cells connected to see if one or more and which load cell(s) have the problem.
5.3.5 Check each individual load cell
The load cells are connected to the indicator with the load cell cables. The
cables are connected to each other by a coupling cover. By removing this, the
load cells can be tested individually.
1.Possibility:
Measure the power supply. The power between +power supply (mostly red)
and +signal (mostly green) and the power between –power supply (mostly
black) and –signal (mostly white) should be equal to 2Ω. The power between
the cables and the load cells should be infinite (∞).
2.Possibility:
To check whether the problem is caused by a single load cell: connect the
load cells to the indicator separately from each other (use the indicator as
voltmeter) and compare the data on the indicator per load cell. The values
should be almost identical. The weight shown is dependant on the calibration.
Is a value instable or varies considerably from the other values, then this load
cell should be replaced. Before replacing the load cell, the batteries should be
replaced.
5.3.6 If the display is unstable, check which load cell is defective
When the cables of the load cells are all disconnected, it is possible to test
each load cell separately. Connect each load cell separately to the indicator in
order to see if and which load cell is unstable. If the indicator reacts unstable
at each load cell, check again if the indicator is not the cause for this problem,
see 5.6.
5.4 CHECK CABLING AND LOAD CELL BOARD
5.4.1 Check for damaged cables
Touch the load cell cable or move it back and forth, especially where the cable
is connected. The indicator should not react to this. If the indicator reacts, then
the cable is damaged internally or there is moisture in the cable and the cable
needs to be replaced. The load cell board should also be checked. If the load
cell board of the connected cables is bent, without touching the contacts
points, and the indicator reacts, then there is a bad connection. If the load cell
board is oxidized then warming the solder points with a soldering unit can offer
a solution.
The cable can be replaced (temporarily) by another cable to see if this will
solve the problem.
12 VHT-SH-e-0910

5.5 CALIBRATE LOAD CELLS
Calibration of load cells
Standing on one of the two forks will load the load cells with your own weight.
Register the weight and then stand on the other fork. The difference should
not be more than 1 graduation (eg. 200 g). If there is a bigger difference, then
the load cells could be broken.
Position of the load cells in a pallet truck scale
5.6 CHECK INDICATOR
!!!!!!! Do not touch the contacts on the board. Static energy can destroy several
components !!!!!!!!
With mobile weighing systems, most problems are caused by shocks. Keep this in
mind when trying to locate a problem in the indicator housing or on the board. Don’t
be afraid to check and apply heavy shocks to the indicator. It is the only way to
discover problems that occur when the system is used. It will also show latent
problems.
5.6.1 Check the safety fuses
In the housing of the indicator, a safety fuse is mounted. Check this fuse with
an ohm/volt meter.
5.6.2 Check the separate components
When the indicator board has been taken out of the housing, it is possible to
see whether everything looks all right, whether other components are loose or
if bending the board changes the problem.
5.6.3 Check for broken or loose connections
None of the cables to the switch, safety fuse holder or plug should be loose.
VHT-SH-e-0910 13

5.6.4 If the display is unstable or does not react to weights, check whether the
indicator causes the problem
Disconnect the indicator from the load cells (also if the display will give an
error message). Connect each load cell individually. If the indicator remains
unstable or does not react to the different load cells, most likely the indicator
module is faulty.
5.6.5 If the display is unstable, check for moisture
Look for condensation or water drops on the plugs. Look closely at the circuit
board, when dismantling the upper plate and pulling out the plug from the
indicator module. Dry it with warm air. If the board is oxidised, it can help to
heat solder points carefully with a solder iron around the analogue circuit.
5.6.6 When can you be certain that the indicator board is faulty?
The display is faulty when:
- nothing changes when load cells are being disconnected
- nothing lights up with voltage (DC) at the right contacts, and functioning
keyboard
- the indicator remains unstable, even with only one load cell connected
- the display reacts when the indicator module is subjected to shocks
5.6.7 Check the touch panel.
Look at the flat cable. The silver conducting layer is very thin. Wear in a small
area can cause the touch panel to dysfunction.
The connector on the flat cable is very sensitive to humidity. Check for this. If
humid, heat this component for a longer period of time.
5.6.8 Check LCD display on the indicator
By bending the board slightly while functioning, in different directions and
diagonally, broken display contacts can be located.

7 CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
The calibration mode can only be reached from the standard weighing mode.
You cannot get into the calibration mode when you are in piece count mode.
There are two different ways to calibrate the system. In both cases a zero calibration
should be performed before the calibration takes place.
7.1 ZERO CALIBRATION
¾Unload the system.
¾Switch the system on.
¾To enter the zero calibration mode press the key for 10 seconds.
After 3 seconds the display will show the last entered code.
After 7 seconds the display will go into the zero calibration mode and start
adjusting.
The display will show “Adj08” and run down until “Adj00”. The adjustment has
been completed.
The indicator shows the percentage of the total capacity that was adjusted.
For a normal weighing system this would be between 5 and 8 percent. A
larger percentage could mean one or more load cells are broken. A lower
percentage could mean the fork cover is not mounted.
The zero point has been defined, the system automatically returns to the
standard weighing mode.
18 VHT-SH-e-0910

7.2 SINGLE POINT CALIBRATION
The weighing system should be turned on and the zero calibration should already be
completed.
¾Press the
() PRE-
key for about 10 seconds.
After 3 seconds the display will show the last entered pre-set tare value.
After 7 seconds the display will go into calibration mode.
The display will show the first calibration point with the pointer flashing.
¾Using the [ ] and [ ] keys you can see the three earlier programmed values on
the display.
The pointer will move through to . is the first calibration
point, the second and the third.
When calibrating only one point the second and third values should be set to
zero.
¾Use the [ ] and [ ] keys to move to the second calibration point.
The display will show the pointer flashing.
