1 Introduction
1.1 The Weighing Hand Pallet Truck
1.1.1 Startup
Press -key to switch the terminal on.
After approx. 3 to 5 minutes the electronics and the loadcells have reached their operating temperature.
Before that deviations of up to 0.3% may occur.
Please set display to zero before weighing loads.
1.1.2 Operation
A fully charged battery provides power for approx. 10 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.
The weighing hand pallet truck is equipped with a battery change module. After opening the door, the battery
packs can be removed from the compartment and replaced with a new set. This provides for continued
availability of the weighing system.
Removing the battery packs

8 Operation Manual RAVAS Proline Touch Basic Rev. 6
The load must be lifted freely without touching the housing of the indicator or other objects.
Incorrect lifting of load
Correct lifting of load
When operated on a non-even, sloped surface the accuracy of the scale is reduced by 0.1% for every 2° of
inclination. This effect is also caused by holes in the floor. For best weighing results use scale on flat and
even level surface.
The best weighing result is obtained when the center of gravity of the load lies between the forks. Excentric
load may lead to bending and twisting of the forks, and can result in greater inaccuracy.
Units subject to Weights & Measures approval are equipped with an incline sensor that disables the display
when the inclination exceeds the permissible limit.
Non-optimal positioning of load
Optimal positioning of load
Temperature range: Within the range from –10 to +40°C the max. weight deviation is 0.1% of the measured
load. Outside this range deviations of up 0.3% may occur.
In order to prevent condensing of humidity in the electronics, rapid changes of temperature should be
avoided. If substantial differences in ambient temperature are experienced, the scale should be switched off
to give it time to acclimatize to the new environment.
1.1.3 Maintenance
The calibration of every scale must be checked at regular intervals. RAVAS recommends maintenance of the
weighing system once a year. Scales subject to Weights & Measures approval must be verified with certified
test weights every year by a certified organization.
The same rules that apply to a simple pallet truck also apply to the chassis of your mobile scale, i.e. based on
experience, the scale will continue to operate even if the chassis is already damaged due to excessive
overload.
In general:
Pulling the pallet truck instead of pushing it makes moving the load easier because of the steering
wheels on the side of the draw bar.
When the lifting mechanism is not in use, the hand lever should be in middle position. This
provides for a longer lifetime of the gaskets.
Only clean the indicator with a soft clean cloth that has been dampened with a mild window type
cleaner. Do not use any type of industrial solvent, do not spray cleaner directly on the unit, do not
use water jets or the unit may be damaged.
To prevent damages to the weighing system make sure that any welding work on the unit is solely
carried out by RAVAS Service.
The bearings of the wheels (except for Vulkollan) as well as the joints at the rollers should be
cleaned and lubricated at regular intervals.
Check oil level at 6-month intervals.

5.3 Special Functions For Mobile Weighing
The weighing terminal features a power save mode and remains in sleep mode when external power is on.
To switch the terminal on press -key.
Power off on battery low
If the input voltage falls below 11.3 V a blinking 'Battery Low' signal is shown. If no key is pressed within the
next 2 min after the signal started blinking, the terminal is switched off. With every key stroke timeout is reset
to 2 min. The terminal can be switched on again by pressing -key, then the timeout period of 2 min is
started anew.
The further power off functions (after time, on key stroke) must be enabled in the configuration and are active
only if corresponding time intervals have been entered. These settings cannot be changed by the operator.
Backlighting off
If terminal is not in use, backlighting of the display can be switched off after selectable time has elapsed (time
after last key stroke). The weighing terminal remains operational. Backlighting can be switched on again by
pressing -key.
Backlighting can also be configured to be permanently switched off after power up and initialization
messages.
Power off after time
In the configuration a time (in min) can be entered after which the terminal is switched off after the last key
stroke. The terminal can be switched on again by pressing the -key.
Power off on key stroke
If this function is activated in the configuration, the terminal can be switched off and on again by pressing the
-key.
Printer control
Via a parallel output the power supply for the printer is controlled as follows:
When the terminal is switched on, this output is set for approx. 10 sec (to replace the paper roll).
Furthermore, the output is set 1 sec before data are sent to the printer and it remains on after printing has
been completed for approx. 9 more sec.
Incline sensor
If scales are equipped with an incline sensor (connected to a parallel input of the weighing terminal), this
sensor opens the contact when the permissible inclination angle is exceeded. If this is the case for longer
than 3 sec, the message 'Level Error' is shown in the upper line of the display (instead of the weight). In this
state printing is disabled. When the scale returns to a position within the permitted inclination range, the error
message is cleared and printing is released again.
The error message also appears on power up if the incline sensor is activated.
