December 2012 PDF File

Technical Bulletin

Version 1

Author: Mike Parker

Description

Enhancements have been made to further notify the operator that they have the Smartlift system in both temporary and permanent override mode. This ensures that the operator is aware of the override and takes extra caution.

Models and Markets

Available on all smartlift versions with a software version SW-xxxx v03 or higher.

Details

Display Screen

In the current system the message shown below is displayed. However, once the operator switches to Arms or Legs mode this message is hidden by the weight or stabiliser extension screens.

In the new system the same message is shown but is not overridden by any operator's screens. There is also a large flashing !WARNING! text added to the message.

Red Warning Light

The red warning LED now flashes at a faster rate than any other Smartlift alarms to give another visual indication that the system is operating in override mode. The horn alarm has not used for this purpose in order to avoid confusion between the system being overridden and an actual Smartlift fault.

Backward Compatability

Available on all smartlift versions with a software version SW-xxxx v03 or higher.
