Data Archive

A record is stored for every completed weighing transaction in the internal W&M approved data archive with date, ident No. and gross and net weight. The Id-No. is reset to 0001 with every change of the date. To allow for a later verification of the weighing data, date and identification No. of the weighing have to appear on the printout or must be stored together with the weight on the host computer. The printout made by an EDP system must also show a reference that weighing data can be verified in the W&M approved data archive of the weighing terminal. Call up W&M approved data archive

Traffic Light Control

Via the optional parallel interface or an external relay module, IT TRUCK/ONLINE E provides the option to control two traffic lights. These traffic lights, with red and green light each, are located in front and behind the weighbridge. The weighing terminal sets the traffic light behind the scale to red and the light in front to green. When the weighing cycle is started and the minimum load exceeded, also the front light is set to red. After capturing the weight and printing the ticket, the traffic light behind the weighbridge is set to green and the vehicle can drive off the scale. As soon as the weight on the scale falls below the preset minimum weight, the scale is released for a new cycle.

Note: The option 'traffic light control' requires that the minimum weight be set >0 !

Notes:

Transport, Maintenance And Cleaning

Transport and storage of the weighing terminal only in the appropriate cardboard box with foam cushions. The unit must not be subjected to shock or vibration. Transport and storage of electronic components such as boards, EPROMS, etc. must only be made in suitable anti-static ESD bags or cases. Storage temperature 25 to +70C at 95% max. relative humidity without condensation.

8.1 Transport

8.2 Maintenance
CAUTION This unit and its associated equipment must be maintained by qualified personnel only, who are familiar with the construction and operation of all equipment in the system and the potential hazards involved. WARNING Disconnect all power to this unit before servicing! Failure to observe these precautions could result in bodily injury! Notes: The weighing terminal is designed to require a minimum of maintenance and service, however, depending on the environmental conditions a visual inspection at regular intervals is recommended. The frequency at which normal maintenance (cleaning and inspection) should be performed, when installed in a clean office environment, should be twice a year. However, if the unit is subject to a dusty or dirty environment the frequency should be increased as required. At these inspections it should be made sure that all connected cables are undamaged and that all connectors are tightly fastened. Maintenance of scale platforms is required at regular intervals depending on use and environment. The accuracy of scales can be affected by dirt, foreign objects, etc. and appropriate maintenance is strongly recommended. Also recommended is the calibration with certified test weights at regular intervals.

8.3 Cleaning
WARNING Disconnect all power to this unit before servicing! Note: Clean the keyboard and covers with a soft clean cloth that has been dampened with a mild window type cleaner. Do NOT use any type of industrial solvent or the finish of the unit may be damaged. Do not spray cleaner directly on the unit.
