HOW RCS PLUS WORKS
The operator lifts a load to the reference height mark at about 80 cm above
floor level. He then presses a button on the indicator and the system will
automatically lower the forks by approximately 15 cm. During this controlled
descent, the display counts down from 4….3….2….1…. while the software
calculates the weight and then shows it in the indicator display.
The RCS PLUS has a dynamic zero value. In fact this display value reflects the
oil pressure in the mast’s hydraulic circuit when the forks are unloaded.
After unloading the forks the display value returns to the zero point,
providing the operator with actual information on a possible drift of the
calibrated system’s zero point during use. Zero point drift can occur as
during the use of the forklift truck the oil in the mast warms up which
influences the pressure in the system and the zero point calibration
accordingly. The dynamic zero value provides this information to the forklift
driver. A possible zero point drift can easily be corrected by doing a zero
weighing and restoring the zero point.

Warning: the 0.2% tolerance can only be guaranteed if the truck mast is in good condition and the weighing system is used correctly. Rolls and bearings in the mast should be properly lubricated. During weighing, the mast should be in vertical position, the load should be placed in the center of the forks.
INSTALLATION
Please note: The installation of the T-piece, the oil pressure sensor,
and other parts of the hydraulic scale will not be carried out by RAVAS, but
must be done by the lift truck dealer!
This installation must be completed before the visit of the RAVAS technician.
The RAVAS technician will do the installation of the indicator, the connection
to the power supply as well as the calibration.
