Product Description
Since 2007 Rinstrum has been supplying onboard tilt compensated weighing electronics to our customers in Europe. The R400 series indicators use specialist K491 firmware. Truck tilt is measured with an inclinometer/tilt sensor that is working in two axis. The X and Y is fed into the tilt module on the R400 indicator that calculates the compensated weight. The indicator and inclinometer solution is trade approved in Europe up to 15 degrees for pay-by-weight systems.
The R400 indicator is available in various housings, panel mount stainless or ABS or full housing stainless steel or ABS. Powered with 12-24VDC and a DSD module for data storage makes it ideal for onboard tilt solutions. The R400 can handle four, six or eight load cells that are mounted between the chassis and the body. Calibration is a simple three step process for the operator.
The K491 is a general purpose indicator that uses an accessory module to connect to a 2 axis tilt sensor that provides tilt compensation. The K491 is ideal for specialist truck OEM's requiring electronics for accurate load weighing solutions where the load may be on an angle. Both the ABS R420-K491 and stainless steel R423-K491 are ideal for panel mounting in a truck cab, featuring a large display and programmable function keys. The application is for a truck to have accurate weight readings that can compensate for uneven surfaces where a weight reading might be taken.
Simple calibration: Zero/Span calibration (at 0 angle) and tilt calibration to generate the four tilt parameters that are used to correct the reading.
Accessories: The K491 requires a tilt module and tilt sensor.
- Tilt Module (M4211)
- Rinstrum tilt sensor suitable for +/-15 degree
- The tilt sensor must be correctly mounted given the axes that are providing data
- The K491 is compatible with a selection up to +/-15 degrees
Optional: DSD, Comms modules, I/O modules
Custom printing: dockets can be customised for the application. The built in RS232/RS485 port can be configured for printing.
Smart Weighing
1. Zero Calibration (at 0 angle)
- Performed on level surface
- Tilt sensor is automatically set to 0
- Calibrates out any inaccuracies
2. Span Calibration (at 0 angle)
3. Tilt Calibration - this generates four tilt parameters that are used to correct the reading.
...now that's smart weighing!
