OM6009 9/08 Payload Meter III - Section 60 Page 60-9 Total Load Counter The total load counter records the number of loads hauled since the last time it was cleared. This display can be cleared at the beginning of each shift to allow the operator to record how many loads have been hauled during the shift. The inclinometer displays whole degrees of incline. Positive incline is truck nose up. The gauge will quickly display the type of information shown every 10 seconds. For example, if the left-front pressure is being displayed, Lf = will flash on the display every minute. Only the payload display, PL = does not display this information.
To view the total load counter press and release the “SELECT” switch until LC = is displayed on the gauge. Left Front Pressure - To display the pressure in the left-front suspension, press and release the “SELECT” switch until Lf = is displayed. Clearing the Counters Right Front Pressure - To display the pressure in the right-front suspension, press and release the Clearing the total ton counter or total load counter clears both records. “SELECT” switch until rf = is displayed. Left Rear Pressure - To display the pressure in the left-rear suspension, press and release the To clear the total ton and total load counter: “SELECT” switch until Lr = is displayed. 1.
Press the “SELECT” switch until tL = or LC = is displayed. Right Rear Pressure - To display the pressure in the right-rear suspension, press and release the “SELECT” switch until rr = is displayed. 2. Hold the “SET” button until the display clears. Inclinometer - To display the truck incline, press Viewing Live Sensor Data and release the “SELECT” switch until In = is displayed. The display can also be used to quickly show the current readings from the four suspension pressure sensors and the inclinometer. This can be used during regularly scheduled service periods to check the state of the suspensions. These displays are live and will update as the values change.
Other Display Messages The live displays cannot be cleared and the SET button will have no effect. On startup of the payload meter system, the gauge display will scroll the truck type that the PLMIII is configured for. For example, on a 930E, the gauge will scroll, --- 930E --- . The units for the display are controlled by the configuration of the payload meter. If the payload meter is set to display metric units, the pressures will be displayed in tenths of kg/cm 2 . For example, if the display shows 202 the actual value is 20.2 kg/cm 2 . If the payload meter is set to display short tons, the pressures will be displayed in psi (lbs/in 2 ). Multiply by 14.2 to convert kg/cm 2 to psi.
(example -- 1kg/cm 2 x 14.2 = 14.2 psi). There is no way to detect the units setting for the gauge without the PC software. If the PLMIII encounters memory problems, it will display ER88 , where 88 is the specific memory error. In this very rare circumstance, the system should be turned off for 30 seconds and restarted.
