Microprocessor Monitors Truck ComponentsThe lift truck's electronic brain is a microprocessor control panel. Its microprocessor provides "run-time" diagnostics and self-diagnostics. With run-time diagnostics, the microprocessor continually monitors the truck's performance and alerts the operator to problems. Built-in self-diagnostics let serviceman completely check electrical functions without expensive, external testing equipment. Numerous programmable options are standard. |
Integrated Instrument PanelThe multi-colored LED instrument display panel shown is standard on all models. |
The fault detection circuit shuts down the truck if the pump or drive circuits fail, preventing motor damage. An identifying fault code appears on the LED to alert the operator to the specific fault condition. |
The truck won't shift to drive when the park brake is engaged : a park brake indicator alerts the operator to this condiion. |
An over-temperatur indicator warms the operator of excessive drive motor or hydraulic motor temperatures. The monitoring system protects the drive and hydraulic motors by automatically limiting travel or lift speed until the problem is corrected.
|
The brush wear indicator promotes timely drive brush sevicing to prolog drive motor life. This same display doubles as a hydraulic motor brush wear indicator. |
In addition to displaying various fault conditions, the battery discharge indicator(BDI) monitors battery discharge levels to encourage timely recharge. A lift interrupt feature slows lift speeds if the battery discharge level reaches 80%, protecting the truck and battery from deep discharge damage. |
Battery Discahrge Indicator(BDI) with lift interruptBattery charge is constantly monitored and a digital display counts down form 9 to 1. When the level reaches 1(80% discahrge), it warms the operator by rapidly flashing the full countdown. If ignored, the system shuts down the lift circuit to protect motors and battery from over-discharge damage. |
Fault detection circuitIf pump or drive circuits fail, the truck shuts down to prevent damage. |
Return-to-neutral, power-on indicator To prevent inadvertent truck movement, an "E" apperas if the direction control lever is placed in forward or reverse or the accelerator is depressed before both key and seats switches are activated. The operator must return the control to neutral before the truck can operate. A power-on indicator reminds the operator to turn off the truck when leaving the seat. |
"LED" leads serviceman through self-diagnostics Switching the control panel from its normal run mode to its self-diagnostic mode lets your serviceman test seat swith, direction selector swith, lift, tilt and auxiliary circuits, accelerator control, battery voltage and individual contactors. The display numerically advanceds as tests are successfully completed. The display will not advance if a failure is detected, allowing the serviceman to pinpoint the problem. The self-diagnostic procedure is located on the control panel cover. |
