Flintec FT-30M On-Board Weighing Indicator User manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Flintec FT-30M Installation + Operation Manual. This document describes the FT-30M on-board weighing indicator, designed for industrial vehicles and agricultural machines. It has features like a touch screen, dual channel input, alarm set-points, and various communication ports. I'm ready to help with your questions about this device.
  • What type of vehicles is the FT-30M designed for?
    How many input channels are available for load cells?
    What communication ports are available?
    Can the device provide overload alerts?
    Does the FT-30M have customer identification features?
    What type of screen does the FT-30M use?

MSB Revision 19 April 2016
Accuracy and Performance
This manual is primarily concerned with the installation
and use of the Flintec FT-30M on board weighing
indicator. Accuracy and performance is dependant
on the quality, type and installation quality of the load
supporting load cells or sensors. The Flintec DSB7 range
of vehicle weighing load cells are ideally suited. Please
refer to the appropriate load cell installation manual
for the load cells installed. Optimum onboard weighing
performance is obtained when the load cells are installed
between the load-carrying body (compactor body, tipper
and carrying the entire weight of the superstructure
and payload. No weight-supporting structure other
than the load cells, such as braces or gussets should
attach the superstructure to the chassis; this will result
in an alternate load-path that will degrade weighing
system accuracy. Typical applications include: waste
mounted on either truck chassis or trailers. frame and
installing load cells between these structures.
