Description and purpose of the ETS System ®
The ETS ® System can be used for the automatic and informatic management of the names of the vehicle users
both as immobilizer on any vehicle with 10-120 VDC and for the traceability of the latter. (Option with GPS/GPRS).
It is composed of a NFC reader and a relay control unit connected in Can BUS.
The activation of the vehicle can be realized through badge ISO/IEC 14443A (previously stored with the user data),
read and recognized by the NFC. It can be programmed up to 500 badge.
Date and time of use can be easily monitored.
All settings can be made through a PC Software or a web app.
The principle of operation
The activation of the vehicle can be made by badge having the possibility to set a maximum of 500 users.
By the switching on, the device, regularly, realize a snapshot of all the internal and external sensors that you want
to check and, if one of them has been configured as an “alarm”, the device will analyse it and, if it is over the
predetermined values, it will give a warning that will be recorded on its internal memory and then sent to the web
portal.
From the moment of the Working account activation (that is the moment when the vehicle is used, normally at the
passage of an authorized user), the device will create a “usage” to which date and the start and end times will be
associated. In relation to uses, it is possible to analyse the schematic or the eventual alarms that were generated
during the use.
At the lack of the Working account (which is normally kept operative by the signal of the key entry) the device will
go into a stand-by situation during which it will analyse periodically the sensors. The difference between the two
functioning profiles is due to the sampling frequency that is associated to the two accounts: normally the sampling
of the sensors is more frequent in the Work account than in the other one.
The range of sensors (or signals) of the device varies from internal and external voltage to speed.
Signals, which can be analysed, are more than 50 of which 4 digital access and 2 analogue access, to which you can
connect external sensors.
Users who have permission to use it, will be insert in the device and to them may be associated dates, times or days
of the week during which the card will be valid. For example, you can set that a user works only on Monday and
another one works on Tuesday from 8 to 16. At final, each user has an associated functioning profile which
characterizes the behaviour of the relay exit.
The device updates its internal programme also in a remote way avoiding going on site in case of firmware updates.

Assembly Instructions
Intended Use
The complete Kit ETS ® is designed for the exclusive use of self-propelled industrial forklift consistent with the
directive machine 98/37 and in particular in accordance with the CE directive 89/336 (compatibility
electromagnetic); to directives 86663,89240, to harmonized laws 1726-1, 1726-2, to EN1175-1-2-3 and
EN12895 (electromagnetic compatibility tests)
It is not an explosion-proof device.
It is not recommended to install the ETS® as machine lock in forklifts operating on the roadsand on those which
cross railroad track, unless you already have a system of self-restraint applied on the starter consent.
The Kit is usually installed on the following machine with drivers on board and/or on land:
-heat and electric frontlets
-Lift with covering forks
-Retractable
-With forks between metal strut

P A G . 8D I 64
Placement
Place the badge reader in a location that is easily accessible for the machine operator (the operator must use the
ETS® device every time to enable the machine)
It is recommended to fix up the relay control unit in contact with the vehicle’s frame (for example in the plant and
in an orthogonal position respect to the direction and the gravity, in order to permit the accelerometer to work in
optimal conditions, allowing a perfect detection of the acceleration. For the assembly, specials adhesive as telepass,
which consent an easy, quick and non-invasive installation, are available on request
Avoid locations exposed to high heat and bad weather.
To enable the wireless function of the devices,
it should be avoided placing the ETSUP device with metal parts
that can cover the top of it.
The current sensor (where it is present)
must be placed directly on one of the two
battery connector cables.
Do not install ETS® where it could limit the visibility or
be an obstacle to movements.
To protect the health of the operators, place the ETSUP at
least half a metre away, in order to limit the exposure to
electromagnetic waves emitted by the wireless devices.

Typical examples of connection
Typically, the ETS® system is interconnected with the machine in order to detect the activation of key entry and
the presence of the operator; Optionally, is possible to connect some of the relay outputs of the device to prevent or
interrupt the operation of the machine, report the problem (audible or visual signal) to the operator or even reduce
the performance (i.e. speed limits).
Minimum essential connections
To be functioning, the ETS device only needs alimentation/power (11-120 VDC). In this case, only the access
control functions, battery analysis, impact, position and analysis of the internal sensors to the system in general;
The operator will have to take care to authenticate (by badge, PIN code or fingerprint) at the beginning of the
work, and to log out in the same way.
Adding the two cables (relay contact) to the connection, is possible to add the immobilizer and auto logout functions
of the user. It is necessary to connect the contact (normally closed or open) in order to give the machine the consent
to start. If it doesn’t have the predetermined inputs, it can be done by inserting the relay contact in series to a consent
system already present (it is recommended, for example, the connection in series to the micro seat).
In this case, the machine cannot be activated without the authentication through the ETS® device done by an
authorized user. As the starter consent signal fails (i.e. absent operator, the switching-off of the device, etc..) and
after a predetermined time, the device will automatically do the logout of the user (it is available also the manual
logout).
Suggested connection
For an optimal functioning of the ETS® system, it is recommended to connect the key entry too. In this way, the
device “a status”starts: the latter is able to distinguish the different conditions of the machine and, consequently, it
can work in the best way.
For example, if the machine is stopped and not used, the ETS® system knows it can focus on internal operations,
such as the synchronization of data and configurations or the functions update.
If the key entry is activated, the device is prepared for the use by interrupting the operations described above.
When an operator authenticates itself by turning on the machine, the ETS® concentrates all its resources on the
sensors analysis and, generally, on the datalogger function.
For a proper functioning, it is strongly recommended to do AT LEAST the installation with key entry.

Connections for auxiliary functions
Sensor for the battery fluid presence
If you have a sensor for detecting of the lack of the battery fluid, it can be connected to a digital input. It is
recommended the use of the “ELC” kit available on request.
With this sensor, it is possible to report the lack of the battery fluid to the operator and, eventually, don’t allow the
use of the machine.
Current battery sensor
On request, it is available the current sensor for the battery usage analysis (cod. X200600). This sensor is specifically
designed to be used with the ETS system. It is provided with a connector for the plug&play assembly. Moreover, it
should be placed as much as possible close to the battery connector of the machine and there is no need it is fixed.
Performance limitation for inexperienced operators
It is possible to connect an input of the machine, used for the limitation of its performance (if it is predetermined by
the manufacturer), to an ETS® system relay input. Later, during the starting phase, you can give the limitation to
the specific operators.
Audible, visual etc. signals
The ETS system has an audible (buzzer) and visual (3 colours led with the option of flashing) warning system,
integrated of the player. It is possible to alert the operator through this system without additional wiring.
If you would like to use a warning, which is external to the system, it is enough connecting it in order to enable it
by a contact of one of the ETS system relay.
Activate a function based on the machine condition
It is possible to inhibit or enable auxiliary functions depending on the condition in which the machine is. If, for
example, the flashing lights of a forklift was connected to ETS system, you would like that this one was turned off
as the machine is not used, and turned on just turning the key, or when an operator do the authentication.
For these configurations, you can see the use guide of the PC Software, in the “User Profiles” chapter.

Switch battery
If the ETS System is placed on machines with combustion engine, due to the reduced batteries autonomy of the
vehicle, it is recommended the use of an automatic switch battery (available on request) to be connected as shown
in the following diagram:

Software ETS
Introduction
The ETS Software is the main tool to start and configure a new ETS®. device.
Moreover, it provides a synchronization feature to every device connection that allow to keep a copy of
the generated logs on the PC to be able to analyse every data the way you want.
The graphic interface
Here at the side, you can notice the main Software
window. Here, the information of immediate
importance and commands to access to the various
functions are here displayed.
In the upper half, you can see a picture relative to the
connected device (see the “Register”section) and a
series of biographic information about the company
that owns the device and the vehicle on which it is
placed.
Below, there are some icons that show directly the
situation of the individual peripheral devices.
Pointing with the mouse over one of these and hold it
still for a moment, you will see a notification that
explain the meaning of the picture:
By clicking on one of these icons you will access to
the relative section of the Diagnosis menu (not all of them have a dedicated section). Instead, clicking twice,
you can see the Setting menu section of the icon you clicked.
Going on the bottom of the window, you can see that the most relevant data, such as the activated user, are
shown.
The two bars at the upper and lower extremities provide an immediate access to the frequently used
commands, and status information about the Software; for example, if any type of operation is in progress,
its information will be here displayed. It is recommended to pay attention to the different messages that are
periodically updated.
It is possible to change the language of the interface through the drop down “Edit” menu →“Language”
Locking sections with password
Starting from software version 3.14A the new “Password manager” feature is available to restrict the areas
accessible from your customer using a password.
It is possible to access this function clicking “File” →“Password manager”.

P A G . 20 D I 64
Note. A message will ask you to inser a password. The default password is empty.
By default there’s a “Operatore base” user. This user will have
access to all the areas in the software.
If you want to prevent the default user to enter specific areas
you’ll need to define a “service” user:
Click the “New” button and choose a personal password.
Select the new user from the list and edit the name into
something like “service” and make sure to enable all the
checks from the “Authorizations” panel.
Once done, click “Save”.
Now you’ll have two users for the software. Select “Operatore base” from the list and untick the features to
disable for the default user.
Once done, click “Save”.
Using the “Reset password” button it’s possible to reset to a known value any user password in case it end to be
forgotten.
