arning
Do not use damaged power cords and plugs, or loose electrical sockets.
Unsecured connection can cause electrical shock or fire.
Do not touch electrical devices, power cords, plugs or electrical sockets with
wet hands or other wet body parts. Doing so may cause electric shock.
Do not pull the power cord excessively when disconnecting it
Doing so may cause electric shock or fire.
Do not bend or damage the power cord. Doing so may cause electric shock
or fire.
Do not drop or cause excessive impact to the Controller.
•This may damage your Controller or battery, cause the Controller to
malfunction, or shorten its lifespan.
•This may also cause overheating, combustion, fire, or other hazards.
Handle and dispose of the Controller with care.
•Never dispose of the battery or Controller in a fire. Never place the
battery or Controller on or in heating devices. The Controller may
explode when overheated. Follow all local regulations when disposing of
used battery or device.
•Never crush or puncture the Controller.
•Avoid exposing the Controller to high external pressure, which can lead
to an internal short circuit and overheating.
7

Protect the Controller, battery and charger from damage
•Avoid exposing your Controller and battery to very cold or very hot
temperatures.
•Extreme temperatures can damage the Controller.
•Do not directly connect together the battery’s positive and negative
terminals and prevent them from coming into contact with metal objects.
Doing so may cause the battery to malfunction.
•Never use a damaged battery.
Do not store the Controller in areas with high concentrations of dust or
airborne materials.
•The battery may leak.
•Your device may overheat and cause a fire.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery.
For safe disposal of your batteries, please follow local law and regulations.
Do not operate a device while driving. Not being focused on driving might
lead to collisions and injuries. Always make sure the lift truck is stationary
when using the Controller.
Do not operate a device while operating other controls in the lift truck. Not
being focused on lift truck controls while using them might lead to collisions
and injuries.
When using your own device (e.g. smartphone, tablet) to control the KOOI®
ReachControl system, always follow the safety instructions available for you
device.
When installing the Controller make sure the operators sight to his/her
surroundings is not reduced to the extended that is may result in dangerous
situations.
8

Be aware of a reduced field of vision when using equipment with a Controller
installed.
Caution
Avoid using the Controller within a 15 cm range of a pacemaker, if
possible, as the Controller can interfere with the pacemaker.
Electronic devices in your lift truck may malfunction, due to radio
interference from your Controller. Contact your supplier for
more information.
Do not expose the Controller to heavy smoke or fumes. Doing so may damage
the outside of the Controller or cause it to malfunction.
Do not use the Controller near devices or apparatuses that emit radio
frequencies, such as sound systems or radio towers. Radio frequencies may
cause the Controller to malfunction.
Turn off the Controller in potentially explosive environments
•Always comply with regulations, instructions and signs in potentially
explosive environments.
•Do not use your device at refueling points (petrol stations), near fuels or
chemicals, or in blasting areas.
•Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in
the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.
If any part of the Controller is broken, smokes, or emits a burning odor, stop
using the device immediately. Use the device again
only after it has been repaired at a certified dealer.
9

•Broken glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and face.
•When the device smokes or emits a burning odor, it may result in battery
explosion or fire.
Do not remove any parts from the Controller, including the back cover.
Removing parts will lead to parts getting damaged.
Do not paint or put stickers on the Controller. It may result in damage to the
Controller.
Install mobile devices and equipment with caution.
•Ensure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed in your
vehicle are securely mounted.
Do not disassemble, modify, or repair KOOI® ReachControl modules.
•Any changes or modifications made without prior written consent from
the manufacturer will void warranty. If any KOOI® ReachControl devices
or sensors need servicing, contact you local dealer.
•Exception to the above are part replacement as mentioned in this
manual. Follow the instructions in this manual to avoid voiding warranty.
When cleaning the Controller, mind the following:
•Wipe the Controller using a clean towel or microfiber cloth.
•Do not use chemicals or detergents. Doing so may result in discolor or
corrosion to the outside of the Controller, or may result in electric shock
or fire.
Do not use KOOI® ReachControl devices or sensors for anything other than
its intended purpose.
10

Only qualified personnel, arranged through your local dealer or the
manufacturer are allowed to service KOOI® ReachControl devices.
The Control devices contains Wi-Fi functionality. It is only to be used by
installed software to connect to the internet or local Wi-Fi network for
software updates, license/module activation, or sending log data. Do not use
the Controller to access the internet in any other way to prevent malfunction
of the KOOI® ReachControl software, malware or virus infections or data
loss.
Do not install 3rd party software on the Controller. It may lead to malfunction
of the KOOI® ReachControl software, malware or virus infections or data
loss. It may void warranty.
Do not change settings on the Android OS running on the Controller. It may
lead to malfunction of the KOOI® ReachControl software and may void
warranty.
General
The KOOI® ReachControl product family contains modules which can consist of
sensors, display and control units used to measure and display various types of
information from (forklift) attachments of hydraulic cylinders. The modules are primarily
used on lift trucks.
Training
When using the KOOI® ReachControl system on a forklift truck or other heavy
equipment, the operator should have sufficient training in accordance with local laws
and regulations. No further specific training is required.
11

Modules
Below is a list with the possible modules which are available in the KOOI®
ReachControl product family. You may have purchased one or more of them. Please
follow the cross references to the page containing the specific information and
instructions for your module(s):
If your system contains a Flow meter with integrated angle sensor (optional), please
continue at page 12.
If your system contains a Controller (optional), please continue at page 22.
For information on the ReachControl app (required), please continue at page 26.
Flow meter with integrated angle sensor
The term ‘forklift’ will be used for any forklift truck, lifter or similar vehicle
used for lifting and transporting loads.
The term ‘left’ and ‘right’ when used in combination with ‘forklift’ refer to the
left or right as seen from the driver’s seat.
The ‘KOOI-REACHFORKS®‘ are hydraulically extendable forklift forks that are
sold under this trademark. From here on they are referred to as ‘forks’.
The flow meter can be used with virtual any set of hydraulically extendable
forks regardless of the manufacturer / brand.
Keep the hose length between flow meter and KOOI-REACHFORKS® /
hydraulic cylinder as short as possible to reduce deviation in the
measurement system due to expansion of the hoses.
12

Application
The flow meter with integrated angle sensor (form hereon the ‘flow meter’) can be used
to measure the length of a cylinder or cylinder controlled system like the KOOI-
REACHFORKS®. Furthermore, the angle at which the flow meter is located can also be
measured with respect to the ground. A possible application for the angle measurement
is as a ‘tilt indicator’ for a forklift mast.
Identification
See serial number on flow meter body.
