1. THE WEIGHING HAND PALLET TRUCK
1.1. TAKING THE SYSTEM INTO OPERATION
The weighing system is activated with thekey (see 3.1.1).
After three to five minutes the electronics and load cells have reached the operational
temperature. Before this, inaccuracies of up to ca. 0.3% may occur.
It is recommended not to lift loads before the zero point correction has been
executed.
1.2. USE
How to disconnect the rechargeable batteries out of the housing:
To recharge or exchange the battery packs please follow instructions underneath.
Open the door of the
battery compartment
Press the lock upwards with
your thumb
Release the lock
completely and take out
the battery pack
How to charge the batteries:
A fully charged battery provides power for approx. 25 hours of uninterrupted
operation.
To avoid damages to the battery it should never be completely discharged. Deep
discharge strongly reduces the life time of the battery. Charging at regular intervals
ensures full operational availability.
Charger: When the battery packs are being charged, the red LED is on. After the
charging time of 8 hours min. has elapsed, the charger is switched off and the
batteries are fully charged. The LED signal turns from red to green.
Important note: Both battery packs should always be charged at the same time!

Charger
Attention: When the charger is connected to 230 VAC mains supply and no battery
pack is plugged in, the green LED is on. The battery packs are protected against
overcharging by the auto shut-off function of the charger.
When batteries are placed in the charging holder and plug is out of the 230 VAC, the
batteries will be de-charged by the charger. So when you take out the 230 VAC plug,
also take out the batteries.
How to connect the charged batteries into the housing:
Always recharge both
battery packs at the
same time!*
Charging function LEDS:
RED = CHARGING
GREEN = FULL
Please take attention to the
notch when replacing the
full battery packs!
Push the top-side against
the back wall and close the
release again

The weight must be lifted freely: without touching the housing of the indicator or other
pallets.
Wrong way of lifting the load
Correct way of lifting the load
The accuracy of the weighing system diminishes with circa 0.1% per degree starting
from a tilted position of 2°. This effect also occurs with pits / potholes in the floor. An
even floor is optimal.
The optimally accurate weighing result is obtained when the centre of gravity of the
load is placed between the forks. With a non-centric loading the forks will tordate and
bend. This may result in a higher inaccuracy.
With legal for trade versions, the level control will switch off the indicator with a non-
centric loading or a tilted position that influences the weighing accuracy.
Non-optimal placement of the
load
Optimal placement of the load
Temperature range: between -10 and +40°C the maximum inaccuracy is 0.1% of the
weighed load. Outside this range inaccuracies up to 0.3% may occur.
Fast temperature changes must be avoided because it can cause condensation in
the electronics. During acclimatisation the weighing system must be switched off.

1.3. MAINTENANCE
For the chassis of the mobile weighing system the maintenance guidelines for normal
hand pallet trucks apply. From experience we know that the integrated weighing
systems still functions when the chassis is damaged by overloading.
Main guidelines:
- Because the steering wheels are mounted in front, pulling the hand pallet truck is
preferred above pushing it.
- When the lifting mechanism is not used, it should be kept in the neutral, middle,
position. This prolongs the life span of the sealings.
- The electronics may only be cleansed with a moist cloth. Chemical cleansers and
high-pressure cleansing will cause damage.
- For the whole system goes that only specialists may execute actions involving
welding. This to avoid damage to electronics and load cells.
- The bearings of the wheels (not with polyurethane) and the pivoting points of the
levelling bar of the loading wheels must be cleansed and greased regularly.
- The oil container must be checked every six months.

Front indicator
THE ALPHANUMERIC DISPLAY
The indicator has an alphanumeric display, containing 20 segments. The display
shows: weights and help-prompts and it indicates which function is active at any
moment, f.i.:
NET the main display shows the net weight
TAR the main display shows the tare weight
PT manual entered tare weight

Use for numeric entries. ' Yes ' (= 1) confirmation
or denial ' no ' (= 0) and entries of alpha characters via the
multiple key-mapping.
ALFANUMERIC KEYS
Data entry is as with mobile phones –one key has more characters which can be
seen, by pressing the key more then once within in a short period the display will
show the characters.
REMOVE CHARACTERS
An incorrect entry can be removed by quickly pressing the CLR key (removed the last
entered character) or by clicking on the CLR key for 1 sec. (removed the complete
entry).
WARNING
When the weighed load surpasses the pre-set maximum, the help display shows: “----
---------”. In order to prevent damage to the indicator or load cells, the weighing
system must be unloaded immediately.
TILTED POSITION
With the approved version of the weighing system, the help display indicates a tilted
position larger than 2° with the remark: “/”. In this case, the weighing system must be
placed in a horizontal position.

3. FUNCTIONS INDICATOR
3.1 GENERAL
3.1.1 SWITCHING INDICATOR ON/OFF
The indicator is switched on by pressing the key. Pressing the F7 key will switch of
the indicator. To save the life span of a charged battery, the indicator will switched off
automatically after 15 minutes of load stability.
If the battery level is too low, a rectangle will flash on the right of the display to show
that the battery needs to be charged. After 2 minutes the indicator will turn off
automatically.
3.1.2 DATE & TIME ADJUST
After switching on of the indicator the display gives sequentially the following
information: IT3000M..” (initialization takes about 12 sec.) software version number,
date/time and the active programme (BASIC or COUNT). This information can also
be displayed by pressing the key.
Adjusting date & time is done in the supervisor mode. This is done like this:
Press F8 to activate the supervisor mode.
The display gives the text “Supervisor mode” and “Password [2958].
Key in password (a wrong password will give “Invalid Password”. With the key
you can go back to the normal weighing mode.)
On the display appears “Choose: Parameter”.
Confirm with
The display shows the entered date & time.
Change the date with the numeric key path and confirm with
(or confirm the current setting of the date with).
The display shows the entered time.
Change the time with the numeric key path and confirm with
(or confirm the current setting of the time with ).
The display shows “Ticket nr.”.
Scroll through the other items in the supervisor mode by pressing the key
several times.
The display shows “Saving”, the entered values will be stored
On the display appears ‘’Choose: Parameter”.
To return to the weighingprogramme push ↑
The indicator returns returns to the weighing programme.

3.1.3 WEIGHING PROGRAMM’S: BASIC AND COUNT
The indicator knows two weighing programmes: BASIC (standard weighing and
registration of data) and COUNT (for weighing and piece counting). You can toggle
between both programmes by pressing the function key F6.
3.2 BASIC: WEIGHING AND REGISTRATION
With the F6 Key –you can switch between the BASIC program and the COUNT
program.
3.2.1 BEFORE WEIGHING: CHECK ZERO POINT
Before each weighing it is necessary to check whether the system is unloaded and
free. The indicator is fitted with an automatic zero correction. This means that small
deviations of the zero point will be corrected automatically. If the indicator does not
determine the zero point automatically, it must be done manually using the 0
key.
3.2.2 GROSS WEIGHING
After lifting a load, the display shows the gross value of the weighed load.
3.2.3 NET WEIGHING: AUTOMATIC TARE
The indicator has an automatic tare function to tare out a (empty) pallet or container
automatically. This way the net added or subtracted weights can be determined.
Lift load.
Press key T.
The display shows 0 kilogram, with at the right the indication NET.
Place or remove the net load.
The display shows the net value of the weighed load. When removing load, this
is a negative value.
With the Info key you can read the actual tare weight.
By pressing the key T again, the indicator returns back to gross weighing.
