1.1 Introduction
The Loadmaster 9000i DMM is designed for Weights and Measures approved operation, for either automatic weighing
(AWI) or non-automatic weighing (NAWI).
The relevant Trading Standards Type Approval is: -
?? Class IIII OIML R76 (EN45501) Directive 90/384/EEC for a non-automatic weighing Instrument (NAWI).
?? OIML R51 European Type Approval Agreement (WELMEC) for an automatic weighing instrument (AWI).
The system can also operate in a Non-Approved weighing mode i.e. as a Loadmaster 8000i instrument. Switching
between Non-Approved Mode and Approved Mode (NAWI or AWI depending on the installation setup) can be done by
the operator as required, however, the Secondary Software Module must be installed to access the Approved Mode.
The instrument is based primarily on the Loadmaster 8000i weighing system. Two pressure sensors are mounted on
each side of the hydraulic lift system. They provide an increase of frequency signal as the load increases. The average
frequency is captured at a set weighing point provided by the Reference/Direction sensor assembly. Calculated with a
factor, the system weighs the contents in the bucket being lifted. This information can then be saved to a certain
customer or product memory store.
This instruction manual covers operation for NAWI and AWI weighing modes. It does not cover use in non-approved
weighing mode. For non-approved weighing, please refer to the Loadmaster 8000i instruction manual.
What is the difference between these two Approvals?
CLASS IIII (NAWI) -This is a European Approval allowing the use of the LM 9000i in any EEC country for sale of
goods, with no further Approval required from the Trading Standards Body in the relevant EEC Country. Mode of
operation is "Non-Automatic" and therefore Static weighing procedure should be used, using Manual confirmation of
the displayed weight.
CLASS Y(b) (AWI) -This is a UK Approval allowing the use of the LM 9000i in the UK for sale of goods. Use of this
instrument in other EEC countries with this Standard is possible, providing Approval has been acquired from the
Trading Standards Body in the relevant EEC country. Contact your local RDS Distributor for the relevant details. This
"Automatic" mode allows both Dynamic or Static operation, together with Automatic entry of the displayed weight.
