Intrductin INTRODUCTION The LadMan LM310 is a precisin instrument capable f running and cntrlling many different vehicle weight measurement applicatins. The Applicatin Sftware dcumented in this manual supprts LadMan s Weigh-In- Mtin Cart Lifter Weighing Systems. These Weighing Systems are usually munted n vehicles that weigh residential carts in mtin as they are picked up, dumped, and lwered t the grund. The LadMan system is cmpletely autmatic and the driver/peratr des nt need t press any buttns r take any actins t btain a weight reading. The 16 character display prvides all the infrmatin needed t understand the status f the weighing system. Fr example, the meter autmatically prvides the fllwing instructin displays during the weigh-in-mtin prcess: READY TO WEIGH WEIGHING LOAD GROSS WEIGHT DUMP LOAD WEIGHING TARE NET WEIGHT TRUCK The cart lifter arm is belw the start f the weighing windw and the system is ready t begin weighing. Message while cart is lifted up thrugh the weighing windw. Displays weight f the cart and its grss lad weight. Weighing is cmplete and lad is ready t dump. The grss lad weight measured ging up is still displayed. Measuring the empty cart weight while cart is cming dwn. Displays the cmputed net weight f the dumped material. Displays the accumulated lad net weight that has been dumped int the truck. LM310 An nbard in-cab-meter fr displaying weight, rute and system infrmatin. ARM310 A cmputer based arm weigh-in-mtin assembly munted n 7
Intrductin the arm f the cart lifter (blted t the lift arm f the cart lifter). CART310 -- A cart weigh-in-mtin assembly munted between the tw munting plates which supprt the cart lifter assembly. Figure 1. ARM310 Cnnected with CART310 The CART310 weigh-in-mtin assembly cnverts the sensitive analg data signals frm the tw cart lifter ladcells t digital, using a precisin digital t analg encder called a CanCder. It als receives the angular psitin f the cart lifter arms measured by the ARM310 alng with speed; cnverts the infrmatin t digital, and transmits the data up the LM310 meter fr display and prcessing. The ARM310 weigh-in-mtin assembly als cntains an angle sensr; s the weighing system nt nly knws the psitin and speed f the cart lifter, but als the angular psitin and speed f the lift mechanism at all times. The CART310 cart bx cmputer gathers the weight measurement frm the cart lifter ladcells, the lift arms angular psitin and speed frm the ARM310. It then prcesses this infrmatin t determine the weight f the cart plus its cntents while ging up (grss weight). Then, in the same manner, measures the tare weight f the cart ging dwn. The difference between these tw weights determines the net weight f the material that was dumped int the truck (NET). All f this infrmatin is transmitted t the LM310 in-cab meter and displayed t the driver/peratr. The lad data recrd can wirelessly transmit t LadMan s 8
Intrductin Lad Management Sftware if the data cllectin sftware is perating in the back ffice. LadMan's Lad Management Sftware allws remte tracking f trucks, drivers, custmers, rutes and prducts by accunt r jb. Rute lists are created with the sftware and dwnladed t the LadMan meter. Any recrded lad data and/r GPS psitin data in LadMan s data cllectin memry will be autmatically transferred t the Lad Management Sftware - withut any prmpting r interventin frm the driver whenever a wireless mdem r wireless Bluetth cnnectin is established between the truck s LM310 cmputer and the back ffice sftware. 9

It has been set up t autmatically prvide the peratr all the instructins and infrmatin needed t run the in-mtin weighing system. CYCLE ARMS Infrequently if the cart lifter arm is nt in the READY TO WEIGH psitin at pwer n, this message infrms the peratr t re-psitin the cart lifter arm back t the READY TO WEIGH psitin s weighing can begin. READY TO WEIGH Infrms peratr that the cart lifter weigh-inmtin system is ready t weigh. WEIGHING LOAD This message is displayed nce the cart lifter arm has reached the start f the weighing windw. There is n need t stp the arm during the weighing sequence as LadMan cmputes the weight while the arm is in-mtin. GROSS xxxxxx Grss weight f the laded cart nce the arm has been raised abve the weighing windw. xxxxxx represents the grss weight f the cart and its cntents. 24
Nrmal Operating Mde DUMP xxxxxx LOAD xxxxxx These tw messages display alternately t infrm the peratr t cmplete the lifting prcess by cmpletely dumping the lad. xxxxxx represents the grss weight f the cntainer and cntents. If the arms are lwered befre reaching the prgrammed DUMP set pint, LadMan ignres the weight and display the message, IGNORING LOAD!. LOWER ARMS LadMan displays this message nce the lad has been dumped and the arm is being lwered. WEIGHING TARE Message displayed as the emptied cart is being weighed while the arm cntinues lwering belw the weighing windw. NET xxxxxx Displays the net weight where xxxxxx represents the weight f the material just dumped int the truck. RECORDING LOAD The message indicates that the weigh-in-mtin prcess has successfully cmpleted and the net weight has been entered int the lad recrd. Additinally, the recrded net weight is added t the accumulated ttal weight f the TRUCK. 25
Nrmal Operating Mde WEIGHT DISPLAYS While in the Nrmal Operating Mde, LadMan presents varius weight displays, sme f which can be cnfigured in the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS grup f the Setup & Calibratin cmmands (see the sectin n Setup & Cnfiguratin Mde fr instructins n chsing ptinal weight displays). LAST xxxxxx LB Displays the net weight f the cntents dumped frm the last cart picked up and weighed. TRUCK xxxxxx LB Displays the ttal net weight f the cntents dumped int the truck fr all cntainers since the last ZERO TRUCK cmmand was executed. (See PROGRAM FUNCTION belw fr executing the ZERO TRUCK cmmand). TARGET xxxxxx LB This is a prgrammable display that shws the current target net weight set pint. When turned n, this display allws the peratr t set a target net truck weight that will activate an alarm when exceeded. (T enable the TARGET display, use the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS/TARGET SETPT->ON cmmand in Setup & Calibratin). T prgram the TARGET weight: In the Nrmal Operating Mde lcate the TARGET display using the SELECT key. Nw use the / PROGRAM keys t prgram the target lad weight. Press SET PROGRAM t set and activate the target weight. Sftware Alarm T enable an verlad display message when the TARGET net truck weight is exceeded, use the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS/FLASH OVERLD cmmand in the Setup & Calibratin mde. S in the nrmal perating mde, the message GROSS >>> TARGET displays any time a net truck weight exceeds the target weight ( NET >>> TARGET when in the NET display mde). 26
Nrmal Operating Mde Hardware Alarm T activate a hardware alarm (like a light r buzzer), an verlad hardware signal will shrt t grund whenever the net truck weight exceeds the TARGET set pint value. See Figure 8. LM310 Wiring Diagram fr Cart Based Weight System. Rute Infrmatin Displays While in the Nrmal Operating Mde, LadMan presents varius ptinal displays that can be cnfigured in the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS grup f the Setup & Calibratin cmmands (see the sectin n Setup & Cnfiguratin Mde fr instructins n chsing ptinal status displays). LOAD NAME & ACCOUNT # Cnfiguring these tw ptinal displays allws the peratr t display, select and recrd a Lad Name and its assciated Accunt Number fr every lad in a pickup rute. This display functin can be turned n r ff by using the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS/FLASH LDNAME, FLASH ACCT# and FLASH STOP# cmmands in the Setup & Calibratin Mde. When these ptins are turned n, the Lad Name, Accunt Number and/r Stp Numbers will flash n the LadMan display. This helps the driver identify the pickup accunt. When enabled, up t 940 sixteen unique alphanumeric character lad names alng with their assciated seven digit accunt numbers can be dwnladed frm LadMan s Lad Manager Sftware. The Stp Number is the sequence number the pickups were laded int LadMan frm Lad Manager Sftware. Lad Manager Sftware uses varius cmmunicatin methds (such as wireless Bluetth r cellular mdem) t cnnect and dwnlad rute and accunt infrmatin. When the Lad Manager sftware dwnlads rute infrmatin t the LadMan meter, the number f Lad Names, Accunt Numbers and Stp Numbers are set autmatically. The lad name, accunt number and stp number cmbinatin is tied t each lad t be picked up n the peratr s rute. When a lad is recrded cnfirmed by the RECORDING LOAD infrmatin display message the currently displayed lad name, accunt number and stp number are recrded int LadMan s data cllectin memry. After all f the lad and rute infrmatin is recrded, LadMan autmatically sequences t the next lad name/accunt number in the rute list (if enabled with the SET 27
Nrmal Operating Mde RECORD Optin f the Setup and Calibratin Mde). Unexpected departures frm the planned sequence in the rute list can be managed using the PROGRAM grup f keys t select an ut f sequence stp and lad r by using accunt barcdes frm a Rute Sheet. Use Ge Ruting Mde t nly display thse accunts within defined radius (300 t 1000 feet) f the Trucks lcatin. Refer t the sectin Cllecting Lad Data fr details. STOP # xxx In additin t the ptinal Lad Name and Accunt Number, every lad has a Stp Number (#) that is recrded in LadMan s data cllectin memry whenever a lad is recrded. The Stp Number represents the sequence in the rute list f Lad Names and Accunt Numbers that have been dwnladed by the LadMan Lad Management Sftware. The Stp Number is prgrammable and allws the peratr t select accunts by prgramming any stp number that has been previusly laded int its memry frm Lad Manager Sftware. Each time a lad is recrded, LadMan autmatically increments the stp number (if enabled with the INSTALL/SET RECORD/INCR STOP# cmmand). This ptinal display functin can be setup t flash during a weight display using the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS/FLASH STOP# cmmand in the Setup & Calibratin Mde. The stp number is reset t ne (1) whenever LadMan s Lad Manager Sftware dwnlads rute infrmatin. The peratr can verride the current stp number by using the PROGRAM grup f keys t prgram a desired stp number. Refer t the sectin Cllecting Lad Data fr the ut f sequence instructins. PRODUCT NAME LadMan allws up t 50 different Prduct Names t be captured whenever a lad is recrded int the data cllectin memry. (These prduct names can be dwnladed with LadMan s Lad Manager Sftware.) This ptinal display functin can be setup t flash a PRODUCT NAME during a weight display by using the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS/FLASH PRODUCT cmmand in the Setup & Calibratin Mde. When the Lad Manager Sftware dwnlads rute infrmatin t the LadMan meter, the 28
Nrmal Operating Mde number f Prduct Names is set autmatically. When enabled, and befre a lad is recrded, the peratr can select a prduct name (e.g., RECYCLE, CARBOARD, COMPOST, etc.) that will be recrded in LadMan s data cllectin memry. T chse a prduct name: Lcate the current PRODUCT display using the / SELECT keys. Lcate the particular prduct name using the / PROGRAM keys. Activate the prduct name with the SET PROGRAM key. When a lad is recrded cnfirmed by the RECORDING LOAD infrmatin display the prduct name is recrded int LadMan s data cllectin memry alng with the accunt name, accunt number, stp number and any ther enabled rute ptins. Once a prduct name has been selected, it remains in effect fr all subsequent lad recrdings. The prduct name shuld be reprgrammed whenever the prduct cnditin changes. EVENT LadMan prvides up t 50 different Event Cnditins that can be recrded whenever a lad is recrded int the data cllectin memry. (These event cnditins can be dwnladed with LadMan s Lad Manager Sftware.) This ptinal display functin can be setup t flash an EVENT cnditin during a weight display by enabling the functin with the INSTALL/SET DISPLAYS/FLASH EVENT cmmand in the Setup & Calibratin Mde. When the Lad Manager sftware dwnlads rute infrmatin t the LadMan meter, the number f event cnditins is set autmatically. When enabled, and befre a lad is recrded, the peratr can select an event cnditin (e.g., ROAD CLOSED, CONTAINER LOCKED, etc.) that will be recrded in LadMan s data cllectin memry. T chse an event cnditin: Lcate the current EVENT display using the / SELECT keys. Then lcate the particular event cnditin using the / PROGRAM keys. Activate the event/prblem cnditin with the SET PROGRAM key. When a lad is recrded cnfirmed by the LOGGING EVENT infrmatin display the Event cnditin is recrded int LadMan s data cllectin memry alng with the accunt name, accunt number and any ther 29
Nrmal Operating Mde enabled rute ptins. Once an event cnditin has been selected and recrded, it reverts back t the NO EVENT cnditin fr all subsequent lad recrdings. New event cnditins shuld be re-prgrammed anytime an event r prblem is encuntered, and befre a lad is recrded. DATE and TIME The currently displayed Date and Time is recrded in LadMan s data cllectin memry whenever a lad is recrded int the data cllectin memry. This display functin is nt ptinal. Prgramming DATE and TIME Using the prgramming basics discussed in the previus sectin, the date and time can be changed with the PROGRAM keys: Lcate the Date and Time display with the SELECT key.

This light/switch allws the peratr t wrk at the rear f the truck, reading the green strbe light while leveling the cart arm angle t zer. Depressing this switch initiates the zer lad prcess that was just described abve. And it als features a green light strbe that prvides real-time feedback n the cart angle. The clser the angle t zer, the faster the light flashes. And when the frk angle is between 0 and +/-1, the light will hld steady. When finished, the light prvides a high frequency chattering strbe indicated that the Zer Weight is calibrated accurately. When finished, depress the switch t turn ff the light and the zering prcess. Calibrate Cart Lifter Grss Ging Up Verify that the cart lifter lad measured ging up is calibrated t zer. Begin this prcess in the READY TO WEIGH state. With n lad n the cart lifter, slwly raise the cart lifter arms thrugh the weighing windw t verify if the GROSS xxxxx LB measurement ging up is zer. Perfrm several slw lifts ging up t find an average grss weight. If zer, then skip this next calibratin step. If the average grss weight ging up is nt zer, the meter shuld be finetuned t allw fr the variance frm zer. G t the TROUBLESHOOT sectin f the Setup & Calibratin Mde and chse the sectin titled TROUBLE CAL. This calibratin adjustment will ALWAYS be listed in punds even when LadMan is using KG in the nrmal perating mde. Fine tune the ZEROUpCAL setting t accunt fr the average grss 73
Initial Startup and Calibratin Prcedures weight variance. Fr example, if the average grss weight is +10 LB ging up, then increase the ZEROUpCAL by 10 cunts frm the current setting. (In KG mde, change the cunt 2.2X larger than the LB mde value displayed.) Fr this example prgram ZEROUpCAL t 10 using the PROGRAM keys, and activate with the SET key. After prgramming the adjustment EXIT SETUP; return t the READY TO WEIGH state. Verify that the GROSS xxxxx LB averages zer (0) ver several slw test weights. Repeat this prcess until an average reading f zer is measured. Calibrate Cart Lifter Net Ging Dwn After LadMan returns t the READY TO WEIGH display, verify if the arm lad ging dwn is calibrated t zer: With n lad n the cart lifter, slwly raise, and then very slwly lwer the arms thrugh the weigh-in-mtin windw t verify if the NET xxxxx LB measurement ging dwn is zer. D several measurements ging dwn t find an average net weight. If zer, then skip this next calibratin step. If the average net weight ging dwn is nt zer, the meter shuld be finetuned t allw fr the variance frm zer. G t the TROUBLESHOOT sectin f the Setup & Calibratin Mde and chse the sectin titled TROUBLE CAL. This calibratin adjustment will ALWAYS be listed in punds even when LadMan is using KG in the nrmal perating mde. Fine tune the ZERODnCAL setting t accunt fr the average net weight variance. Fr example, if the average net weight is +10 LB ging dwn, then adjust the ZERODnCAL 10 cunts frm the current setting. (In KG mde, change the cunt 2.2X larger than the LB mde.) Fr this example, prgram ZERODnCAL t 10 (ten) 10 using the PROGRAM keys, and activate with the SET key. After prgramming the adjustment, EXIT SETUP; and return t the 74
Initial Startup and Calibratin Prcedures READY TO WEIGH state. Verify that the NET xxxxx LB averages zer (0) ver several slw test weights. 9. Fine Tune Span Adjust This step requires a laded cart with a knwn weight; s have a cart weighed n a knwn accurate scale. The cart shuld be laded with a gd size weight that represents at least 80% f the cart lifter s capacity. This lad shuld be tightly secured within the cart fr safety, and t make certain there is n abrupt buncing f the cntainer s cntents during the calibratin prcedure. When LadMan is READY TO WEIGH, pick up the laded cntainer and mve thrugh the weigh-in-mtin windw at a slw speed. D this several times t btain the average GROSS xxxxx LB reading ging up and nte this average grss weight reading. Next, perfrm a span truck calibratin prcess. Use the PROGRAM key t select SPAN TRUCK? and activate with the SET PROGRAM key. LadMan respnds with directins t ENTER METER LOAD. Use the prgramming keys t enter the average f weight readings that were just btained frm the LadMan meter. Press the SET PROGRAM key t save. Press the SELECT key and LadMan will respnd with the directins, ENTER CAL LOAD. Use the prgramming keys t enter the weight reading btained frm the calibrated scale. Press the SET PROGRAM key t save. Nw press the SELECT key and LadMan will respnd with the directins, DO AUTOCAL?-->NO. This display is cnfirming that the weights have been entered prperly. T cnfirm that the weight entries are crrect, select YES and press SET. LadMan will nw cmplete the SPAN calibratin and cnfirm with, DOING SPAN ADJUST and SPAN COMPLETE!. EXIT SETUP and return t the READY TO WEIGH state. At the READY TO WEIGH state, slwly pick up an empty cntainer and mve up thrugh the weigh-in-mtin windw. 75
Initial Startup and Calibratin Prcedures Lwer the cntainer dwn thrugh the weigh-in-mtin windw at the slwest speed. D this several times t btain an average NET xxxxx LB reading ging dwn. If the NET reading is nt zer (0) then use t the TROUBLE CAL sectin f the TROUBLESHOOT Setup & Calibratin categry t either increase r decrease the SPANDnCAL value t crrect the errr using the rati calculatin: Rati = Grss Weight Ging Up (Grss Weight Up Net Weight Dwn) Fr example, if the average ging dwn NET weight reading is +20 LB and the average ging up GROSS reading was 720 LB, then the system ging dwn is measuring nly 720-20 = 700 LB. S the SPANDnCAL value needs t be adjusted by the rati: 720 700 = 1.02857 Reprgram SPANDnCAL by multiplying the current SPANDnCAL value times(x) the weight rati. Then EXIT SETUP. Cntinue this calibratin prcess until the weights ging up and ging dwn are equal, and the empty cart NET xxxxx LB reading is zer (0). Once this calibratin prcedure is cmpleted, the SPANUpCAL and the SPANDnCAL values may nt be equal, but they shuld nt be different by mre than 500 cunts fr a system that is perating prperly. REMINDER During these calibratin prcedures, COUNT BY was prgrammed t 1 and SHOW NEGATIVE WTS was set t YES. Reprgram either r bth these values (if desired) fr the nrmal perating f the weighing system. 76
Trubleshting Guide TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This sectin f the manual prvides a guide t trubleshting cmmn issues with the LadMan Cart Lifter Weigh-In-Mtin System. It is assumed that the reader has already becme familiar with using the prgramming keys and understands hw t access Setup & Calibratin functins that are all detailed in the chapter titled Setup & Calibratin Mde. LadMan must receive all sensr signals in rder t display the valid weighing display message READY TO WEIGH. The fur sensr signals are: Left Cart Ladcell Signal Right Cart Ladcell Signal Cart Arm Angle Sensr Signal If any f these signals are nt detected, then LadMan suspends all weighing functins and enters int a Trubleshting Diagnstic Mde. When LadMan enters this mde, ne t three diagnstic messages will be displayed: NO ARM SENSOR! r ARM SENSOR OK! NO RGHTCART SIG! r RGHTCART SIG OK! NO LEFTCART SIG! r LEFTCART SIG OK! 1. NO ARM SENSOR! This message is displayed when there is n cmmunicatin t the arm weigh-inmtin sensr. The arm weigh-in-mtin assembly (ARM310) cntains a micrcmputer and arm angle sensr. The micrcmputer cmmunicates the cart lifter arm angle measurement t the LadMan CART310 bx munted between the cart lifter plates. The CART310 sends all the results t the in-cab meter fr prcessing and display. If LadMan cannt detect the arm assembly micrcmputer, then there are three pssible surces t the prblem: 77
Trubleshting Guide a) The cable cnnectin frm the CART310 Bx t the arm weigh-inmtin assembly bx has failed r is nt cnnected. b) The arm weigh-in-mtin assembly has failed. This unit is a ptted assembly t survive harsh utdr envirnments. The unit is nt fieldrepairable and must be replaced r rebuilt. c) The LadMan meter has failed. The meter is nt a field-repairable fr this type f cmmunicatin failure. It must be replaced with a new r rebuilt unit. 2. NO LEFTCART SIG! and NO RGHTCART SIG! If these tw messages are displayed, first make certain that the cable cnnecting the LM310 Ladman Meter is prperly cnnected t the CART 310 Bx munted between the cart lifter plates. a) The CART310 weigh-in-mtin assembly cntains the digital t analg cnverters fr bth the right and left cart lifter ladcells and receives the cart lifter arm angle frm the arm sensr bx (ARM310) munted n the cart lifter arms. Check the cable that cnnects the LadMan meter (LM310) t the CART310 bx munted between the cart lifter munting plates. b) If the cables are cnnected securely, then check the cable harness fr damage and perfrm a cntinuity check. c) If the cable is OK but the messages NO LEFTCART SIG! and NO RGHTCART SIG! still display: Attempt t discnnect bth ladcell cables that plugged int the CART310 weigh-in-mtin bx t eliminate a fault in ne r bth f the ladcells. If after unplugging bth ladcells the messages NO LEFTCART SIG! and NO RGHTCART SIG! still displays, then the CART310 weigh-inmtin bx has mst likely failed r the LadMan Meter (LM310). The CART310 weigh-in-mtin mdule is a ptted assembly t survive harsh utdr envirnments. The unit is nt field-repairable and must be replaced r rebuilt. 78
Trubleshting Guide 3. NO LEFTCART SIG! but RGHTCART SIG OK! LEFTCART SIG OK! but NO RGHTCART SIG If ne f the ladcell signals is present but the ther is nt, then it is mst likely that ne f the ladcells has failed. Swap the tw ladcells n the weigh-inmtin assembly and see if the errr message reverses. If it des, then ne f the ladcells has failed. Swap the ladcells again t make certain which ladcell has failed. When islated, replace the failed ladcell. 4. Lad Measurements Inaccurate Lad measurements that are nt repeatable r are inaccurate can be traced t ne f the fllwing: One r bth ladcells have failed. The CART310 digital t analg cnverter (CanCder) has failed. Cart arm angle measurements are faulty. Check Ladcell Respnse and CART310 CanCder Press the PROGRAM key t lcate the TROUBLE LOADCELL ptin and press the SET key t activate. Press SELECT t display CH1 xxxx.x LB where xxxxx.x is the current weight reading f the CH1 ladcell. Mve the cart lifter t zer arm angle, which will cause the plates t be in a vertical psitin. The CH1 lad shuld read near zer (0) weight Pick up an empty cntainer and verify that the ladcell respnds in a psitive directin. If the ladcell respnds in a negative directin under lad, then swap the ladcell cnnectrs n the CART310 Bx as they are cnnected t the wrng ladcell cnnectrs. If the ladcell reading is buncing hundreds (100 s) f cunts, drifting, r will nt repeat the same reading under a given cntainer lad, then: either the ladcell has failed; r the cart lifter CART310 weigh-in-mtin analg t digital cnverter has failed; r a ladcell cable has been damaged; r the cnnectr is lse and has misture/dirt in the cntacts. Check fr damaged ladcell cables r dirty cntacts. If the cntacts are dirty then the pins shuld be cleaned with isprpyl alchl and a Q-tip. The signals n these pins are n the rder f less than ne millinth f a 79
Trubleshting Guide vlt s any film residue r misture n the cntacts can cause the ladcell signals t drift wildly. If the prblem persists after cleaning the cntacts then the Cart310 CanCder weigh-in-mtin bx shuld be replaced. If replacing the Cart310 weigh-in-mtin bx des nt fix the prblem then the ladcells shuld be replaced. Press SELECT t display the message, CH2 xxxx.x LB and repeat the abve prcedure fr the CH2 ladcell. Checking Cart Lifter Arm Angle Measurements LadMan relies heavily n the accuracy f the cart lifter arm angle measurement t determine accurate weight measurement results. The ladcell weight measurement respnse is influenced by the cart lifter arm angle. Any errr in the arm angle will have a majr effect n the verall accuracy f the weighing system. Furthermre, the arm angle infrms LadMan when t lk at the cart lifter ladcell signals. Any errr in the arm angle can cause LadMan t lk at the ladcell weight measurement respnse in the wrng part f the weighing cycle. T check n the arm angle calibratin: While still in the TROUBLE POSITION ptin f the TROUBLESHOOT Setup & Calibratin categry, view the current arm angle, ARMS xxxx.x DEG. The arm angle shuld read zer degrees when the cart lifter has lifted the cart ff the grund near a ft. If nt, then gt t step 5 f the Initial Startup and Calibratin Prcedures and fllw the directins fr calibrating the arm angle. 80
Cllecting Lad Data COLLECTING LOAD DATA When a lad is recrded, lad data is stred int LadMan s data cllectin memry. The lad infrmatin is recrded and stred as shwn in Table 12. LOAD DATA Table 12. Recrded Lad Data CONDITIONS FOR RECORDING DATA Date & Time Lad Name Accunt Number Stp Number Cntainer Grss Weight Lad Weight (Dumped Lad) Cntainer Net Weight (Empty) Net Truck Weight (Paylad Weight) Prduct Event GPS Crdinates Optinal (INSTALL/DISPLAYS/ACCOUNTS) Optinal (INSTALL/DISPLAYS/ACCOUNTS) Optinal (INSTALL/DISPLAYS/PRODUCT) Optinal (INSTALL/DISPLAYS/EVENT) If GPS mdem and signal available After each recrding f a lad, LadMan sequences (when aut sequence enabled) t the next Stp Number and its crrespnding Lad Name and Accunt Number, and is therefre autmatically set up fr the next cllectin. Out-f-Sequence r Unplanned Cllectins It may smetimes be necessary t cllect a lad ut-f-sequence r t recrd a lad that was unplanned during a cllectin rute. There are several ptins available thrugh the frnt panel PROGRAM buttns fr these and similar situatins. 81
Cllecting Lad Data Prgramming the STOP# Display If a printed cpy f the rute schedule is available, then the stp numbers will be listed fr each stp n the rute. Use the rute schedule t find the stp number f the accunt that needs cllected and recrded ut-f-sequence. Then use the SELECT and PROGRAM frnt panel keys t select the new stp number befre recrding a lad. Fr example, LadMan is currently displaying STOP #45, but instead, STOP #198 needs t be cllected and recrded. Using the / SELECT keys, lcate the STOP # display; then use the / PROGRAM keys t change #45 t #198. This will direct LadMan t g directly t Stp #198 and the crrespnding lad name and accunt number fr the stp. If a stp number is entered that is nt fund in the rute list (i.e., a stp number that is higher than any n the list) then LadMan will display the highest stp number in the rute list. Prgramming the ACCOUNT # Display If the accunt number is knwn, use the SELECT and PROGRAM frnt panel keys t enter the accunt number befre recrding the lad. Then, when the SET PROGRAM key is pressed, LadMan will search the dwnladed rute list fr the entered accunt number. If the accunt number is fund in the dwnladed rute list, LadMan will display/cnfirm with the assciated stp number and accunt number. If the accunt number is nt fund in the dwnladed rute list, then LadMan autmatically creates the new accunt and displays the message CREATING ACCOUNT ; fllwed by the display f a new stp number and the newly created accunt number. The new stp number will be added t the dwnladed rute list, alng with the new accunt number, and a newly created lad name UNPLANNED STOP XX ; where XX represents the number f unplanned stps in memry. This new stp number, accunt number and lad name will be added after the last stp in the currently dwnladed rute list. Selecting a Lad Name Using the LOAD NAME Display T select a specific lad name frm the list f dwnladed rute lad names, first use the / SELECT keys t lcate the current LOAD NAME display. The PROGRAM key will sequentially display the next lad name frm the rute list. A flashing curser will indicate that LadMan has entered the Prgram Operating Mde. Pressing the PROGRAM key will sequence frward t the next lad 82
Cllecting Lad Data name, while the PROGRAM key will sequence in reverse. PROGRAM key t select and lad a displayed lad name. Press the SET Recrding a Prduct Sme cmpanies will dwnlad rutes that include specific prduct names fr describing their pickup services (e.g., cardbard, recycles, garbage, yard clippings, etc.). T chse and recrd a prduct fr the current Stp #: PRODUCT displays must first be enabled with the SET DISPLAY/FLASH PRODUCT cmmand. Lcate the PRODUCT display using the / SELECT keys. Lcate the particular prduct name using the / PROGRAM keys. Activate the prduct name with the SET PROGRAM key. When the lad is recrded, the prduct name will be recrded int LadMan s data cllectin memry alng with the stp #, accunt name, accunt number and any ther enabled rute ptins. Once a prduct name has been selected, it will remain in effect fr all subsequent lad recrdings. The prduct name shuld be re-prgrammed whenever the prduct cnditin changes. Recrding Unexpected Events Smetimes a prblem/event will ccur in the prcess f picking up r delivering a lad and it is valuable t recrd that event fr a particular rute stp (e.g., n cntainer, rad blcked, gate lcked, etc.). T chse and recrd an Event fr the current Stp #: EVENT displays must first be enabled with the SET DISPLAYS/FLASH EVENT cmmand. Lcate the EVENT display using the / SELECT keys. Lcate the particular prblem/event name using the / PROGRAM keys. Activate the event name with the SET PROGRAM key. When the lad is recrded, the event cnditin will be recrded int LadMan s data cllectin memry alng with the stp #, accunt name, accunt number and any ther enabled rute ptins. Once an Event cnditin has been selected and recrded, it will revert back t the NO EVENT cnditin fr all subsequent lad recrdings. New event cnditins shuld be re-prgrammed anytime an event is encuntered and befre a lad is picked up and recrded. 83
