3.4 Start-up: check zero rst

After start-up of the indicator and before rst use of the day, you better check the zero point.

The system automatically corrects its zero during the day, so the system weighs correctly with
warm oil/ parts/ sensor.
When the truck starts up the next day, the oil is cooled down and there can be greater
weighing errors than the system can correct automatically. Therefore you need to check the
zero on a cold start-up.

3.4.1 Check zero

1. Screen after switching on the indicator. 2. Lower the forks, if not on the ground.

3. The yellow arrow guides you in operating the
truck to complete a correct weighing.

4. Lift empty forks with a constant speed until
the blinking yellow arrow at the display
shows you to lower the forks.

Go up Go down

USER MANUAL

RCS Hy-Q-52 7

5. After passing the measuring trajectory the
speed indicator will show the average speed
of the forks if it was incorrect.

The speed should be in between 10 and
35 cm/s.

For error messages see: 3.6 Error messages.

6. Lower the forks with constant speed until the
forks on the display are in their lowest
position.

7. The indicator shows the weight after
completing your zero check.

8. If the weight is red, the weighing was not
correct. If the indicator does not show zero, a
new zero must be set manually. See: 3.4.2

USER MANUAL

RCS Hy-Q-52 8

3.4.2 Set zero: manually

If zero is o󰀨, follow these steps.

1. Press the zero button. 2. Repeat step: 3-8 of 3.4.1.

3.5 Perform a weighing cycle

1. A weighing cycle can be started at any time in
weighing mode. As soon as you lift the weight
and pass the rst sensor the indicator starts
measuring.

2. To perform a weighing cycle, pick up the load and
lift with constant speed for as long as the yellow
arrow keeps blinking in upward direction. If the
arrow turns in the opposite direction lower the
forks until the weight appears in the display.
For detailed explanation see: 3.4.1 step 3-6

RCS Hy-Q-52 9

3. If the arrow turns in the opposite direction
lower the forks with a constant speed until the
weight appears on the display.

4. If the weighing was done correctly it appears in
the display without any messages.
For error messages see: 3.6 Error messages

3.6 Error messages

Whenever a weighing was not done correctly the weight will turn red and the error is displayed.

1. Error: Too slow
Move forks faster through weighing trajectory.

3. Error: Try constant speed
Try to move the forks faster with a constant
speed through weighing trajectory.

2. Error: Too fast
Move forks slower through weighing trajectory.

4. Error: Out of level

- Level switch is optional:
make sure the mast is vertical.

USER MANUAL

RCS Hy-Q-52 10

5. Correct: Mast position
Mast is vertical within 2° forward and backward
tilting.

6. Error: Out of level
Tilted more than 2° forwards.

7. Error: Out of zero range
The zero o󰀨set is too high to perform a zero

correction. Check if the forks are empty.

9. Bad calibration.
There is no calibration saved.

8. Overload

The truck has been overloaded according to its
load diagram.

the load situation.

Yellow = safe
Orange = approaching the maximum capacity of the truck
Red = overload

Warning!
This bar is only an indication of the load.

8. RAVAS WeightsApp - applicable for RCS Hy-Q-52

With the RAVAS WeightsApp you can read the data from your mobile weighing
system directly from your smartphone or tablet.

The app not only displays the weight in large digits on a smartphone or tablet, it also

stores the weighed gross weights, tare weight, product code, date & time and the ID
of the device or operator. The data can be sent to any email address as a CSV le,

after which it can be imported in a spreadsheet program on a PC.

From the app you can:

• enter the ID of an operator or device

• enter tares (automatically or manually)

• zero the weighing system

Date and time are automatically generated. If your Android device has an integrated
barcode scanner, you can use it to enter product IDs.

The RAVAS WeightsApp can be downloaded for free from Google Play and the Apple
Store.

For instructions for the use of the RAVAS WeightsApp see www.ravas.com.
