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.

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.

11
3.2.4 NET WEIGHING: MANUAL TARE ENTRY
A tare weight can be entered at any moment, meaning in either a loaded or unloaded
situation. For a higher accuracy, a tare weight can be entered with a smaller
graduation step, independent of the applied load and the graduation of the indicator.
A tare weight larger than the capacity of the weighing system will not be accepted by
the indicator. On a printout a manual entered tare weight will be printed with the sign
Pt, the net weight with KgC.
The tare weight can be entered in the gross weighing mode with the keys 0-9.
A wrong entry can be corrected with the Clr-key.
Display shows “Tare entry” together with the entered value.

3.3.5 PIECE COUNTING WITHOUT KNOWN PIECE WEIGHT
The indicator has several possibilities to count articles on the scale. By use of the
known piece weight (weight per article); this weight will be used to calculate the total
number of pieces when weighing the complete load. The indicator will show, instead
of weight, the number of articles. If the piece weight is not known, the indicator can
calculate it, after which a counting is executed
Place the load which you want to count on the scale.
Key in the tare weight of the pallet or container (see 3.2.4) or tare out the empty
pallet or container (see 3.2.3): The piece counting is executed in the net mode
only.
Press thekey.
The display shows “10 pieces on the scale”.
Add 10 articles or take 10 off: the scale calculates the piece weight
Through the weight increase or decrease. (If you want to put an other number of
articles on the scale then you press the Clr key and you key in that number.)
Confirm with thekey.
The display shows the message “Piece weight. (g)” and the calculated piece
weight in grams.
Confirm with thekey.
The display gives the message “pieces” and the counted number of articles.

14
3.3.6 PIECE COUNTING WITH KNOWN PIECE WEIGHT
When the piece weight is known (or is measured on a small reference scale), it can
be entered manually after which the indicator will calculate the number of pieces on
the scale.
Place the load which you want to count on the scale.
Enter the tare weight of the pallet or container (see 3.2.4) or tare the empty pallet
or container (see 3.2.3): the calculation will only be executed with the net load.
Confirm with thekey.
The display gives the message “10 piece on scale”.
Press the key: Info.
The display shows: “Piece wght. (g)” and the last used piece weights in grams.
Enter the known piece weight through the numeric keys and confirm with the
key. (when more pallets are using the same piece weight you can use that piece
weight by confirming this with thekey).
The display gives the message “Number” and the number of counted articles.
N.B.: When a big number of containers with the same article have to be counted in a
row, the user can –after determining of the piece weight –use the same piece
weight directly with the next container. Set parameter “ Ser.mode” in Supervisor
mode on 1 (to activate Supervisor mode: see 3.1.2).
3.3.7 PIECE COUNING WITH A REFERENCE SCALE (OPTION)
When the piece weight is extremely small, or the accuracy of the piece weight is of
paramount importance, the system can be equipped with a reference scale (f.i. with a
10 kg capacity and a resolution in grams). The piece weight is determined on the
reference scale and the indicator uses that weight directly to calculate the number of
pieces of the pallet scale.
Place the load which you want to count on the scale.
Enter the tare weight in for a pallet or container (see 3.2.4) or tare out the empty
pallet or container (see 3.2.3): the calculation is executed now with the net weight
only.
Confirm with thekey.
The display gives the message “10 Pieces on scale”.
Press F2 to switchover to the reference scale. The weight, number of pieces and
messages in the display are related to information of the reference scale.
Put 10 articles on the reference scale and press thekey.
The display gives the message “Piece wght. (g)” and the calculated piece
weight in gram’s.

15
Confirm with the key.
Display gives the message “Pieces” and the number of articles of the reference
scale.
With F1 you go back to the main weighing system. The weight, the number and
messages in the display of the main weighing system are activated.
The display gives the message “Number” and the number of counted goods on
the main weighing system. When you take goods out of the pallet of put more
goods in then the counted number of articles will increase and decrease
accordingly.
3.3.8 CODE ENTRY AND PRINTING (OPTION)
When the weighing system is equipped with a printer, it is possible to enter per
weighing/count action an order or an article number. On the printout it shows gross- /
tare- / net weights, piece weight and the number of pieces and the entered codes
with date / time. The maximum number of codes is 10 alphanumeric characters.
Lift the load and execute a count action (see above).
Press key.
Display shows the text “Code Nr.: -”.
Key in the code using the alphanumeric key path. Entry of characters is executed
as with a mobile phone: sequentially pressing the same key in a short time.

shortly and a long press for the complete code
Confirm with.
The printer prints the ticket and returns to the normal program.
3.3.9 PRINTING AND DISPLAYING TOTALS (OPTION)
All printed net weights and counting results will be accumulated automatically by the
indicator into a weight total and a piece total. So with shipments with several pallets
with the same articles it is possible to get the total calculated and registered. (!: the
indicator does not recognize the different articles. All quantities of pieces are added
together).
Press theTotal key.
Display shows the text “Tot.” including the numbers of summations and the
total number of pieces
To get back to the weighing program without deleting the total memory:
