Load Indicator Lights
The load indicators are the external red and green lamps on each side of the truck. In addition, the red and green LEDs on the POD indicate the status of the external loading lamps. These indicators inform the loader operator and the truck operator of the loading progress toward a target payload weight. The external lamps are active only during the loading cycle. The external lamps are off at all other times. Note: External Load indicator lamps should light if a lamp test is initiated and the truck speed is less than 8.1 km (5 mph). During the process of loading, the following will happen:
The Continue Loading lamps that are green in color will be on until the payload is 95 percent of the setting for the target weight.
The red in color Stop Loading lamps will illuminate.
The system may be setup for Last Loader Pass Indication mode.The following happens in the Last Loader Pass Indication mode:
The PMC calculates the size of an average loader pass.
The PMC predicts payload weight after the next pass is applied.If the predicted weight is above 95 percent of the target weight setting, the red lamps will flash. This indicates that the next loader pass should be the last pass.Note: The Last Pass indicator works correctly for loading applications that require at least three loader passes. If the first loader pass is used in order to spot the truck, then a minimum of four loader passes are necessary for the "last-pass" indicator to work correctly.Cycle Data
Throughout the truck's haul cycle, several conditions are monitored. All the data that is collected during each haul cycle is stored in memory for later downloading. The following items are required for downloading through the communications port:
A laptop computer
A 9X-3393 connecting cable
A printer
WINTPMS software package, EERD3600A TPMS haul cycle begins when the truck has dumped the previous payload. A TPMS haul cycle ends when the new payload has been dumped. A truck is empty from dumping the payload until the truck stops. Loading time and payload weights are monitored at the loading site. These values are measured in 1 second and .0907 tonnes (.1 us ton) units, up to 7200 seconds and 725.6 tonnes (800 us tons). The loading time is measured at the loading site. The loading time starts when an empty truck stops at the loading site. The loading time stops when the truck leaves the loading site. The weight of the payload is broadcast when both of the following happen:
The Radio Broadcast feature is enabled.
The truck moves farther than 0.16 km (.1 mile).The functions of a loaded truck that are monitored follow:
Loaded Stop Time
Travel Time
Travel DistanceThese values are measured in 1 second and 0.16 km (.1 miles) units, up to 7200 seconds and 80 km (50 miles). A truck is considered to be loaded during the following period of time:
The truck leaves the loading site.
The truck dumps the payload.When the truck is dumping, the Bed Raise switch provides an input signal to
