  • Page 4: Calibration Summary

    1 – CALIBRATION SUMMARY Calibration Summary The LM 800i/8000i system operates in a Non-Approved weighing mode. Dynamic or Static weighing is possible. The system is designed to be easily upgradable for Weights and Measures approved operation, either for automatic weighing (AWI) or non-automatic weighing (NAWI). There are a large number of functions within the calibration menu in order to optimise the performance of the weighing system for a particular loading shovel and the method in which it is to be used.

  • Page 5: Loadmaster 800I/8000I - Common Calibration

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION Loadmaster 800i/8000i - Common Calibration Sensor Setup Sensor setup should be done before any other calibration. The sensor settings apply regardless of which attachment is selected. Select the 'Sensor Setup' screen (figure. 2). 1. Calibration (Enter PIN*) 8.

  • Page 6: General Setup For Loading Shovels

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION “Sample type” : “STD” sets the system to sample a dynamic weigh procedure in the standard format, as used in the Loadmaster 8000 series with earlier S/W version PS300-026 rev.38 “ADV” sets the system to sample a dynamic weigh procedure in a new format. This mode should generally be selected, as it should be consistently more accurate in use.

  • Page 7: Auto Cal

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION Auto Cal After "Sensor Setup", do an "Auto Cal". 1. Calibration (Enter PIN*) 1. Auto Cal The instrument will automatically advance from Auto Cal step 1 (Diff. Setup) to step 5 (Cal Weight). You can however, still select from the Auto Cal menu in any order.

  • Page 8: Slow Speed Calibration

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION Slow Speed calibration With the menu pointer opposite the symbol, lower the bucket then slowly lift through the weighing position again. If you lift too quickly, the display will flash 'Error'. If so, lower the bucket and try again. The instrument will bleep once, then display the frequency output of each pressure sensor, and the sample time in milliseconds (fig.

  • Page 9: Zero

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION 2.2.6 Zero Lift the empty bucket at maximum speed. The instrument will bleep once when the weight is taken. ENTERING to set "Dynamic Zero" is automatic. Lift the bucket to the weighing position. The instrument will bleep twice. ENTERING to set "Static Zero" is automatic.

  • Page 10: Angle Calibration (Optional)

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION 2.2.8 Angle Calibration (optional) NOTE: All factors in the "Angle Factors" screen should be manually set to zero (except the Alarm Threshold Angle which is 10° by default) before carrying out the angle calibration. This is especially important if you have to recalibrate the angle compensation, after the first attempt was incorrect.

  • Page 11: Calibration Factors

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION Calibration Factors The previous pages cover "Sensor Setup" and "Auto Cal" on the "Calibration" menu. With the exception of "6. Surge Factors" , the menu items, 2. Static Factors 3. Dynamic Factors 4. Dyn. Comp. Factors 5.

  • Page 12: Static Speed Compensation Factors (Stat. Comp. Factors)

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION Proportional Scaling Proportional Scaling is used to compensate for efficiency losses in a dynamic or static lift, and is a scaling factor based on the maximum load of the machine. It is important to perform the Speed Calibration routine with the maximum load in the bucket.

  • Page 13: Surge Setup (Optional)

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION "Max Freq A / B" Variable compensation is required depending on the load. The Max Frequency figures log the signals at Max load. This is set up from the Static Comp. routine in the AutoCal. In order for the instrument to know when it is lifting a fully loaded bucket (to apply the correct compensation), the maximum signal from each load sensor is saved here.

  • Page 14: Nudge' Calibration

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION 'NUDGE' Calibration You can nudge the calibration figures up to 10%. If the error is more than 10%, the instrument will prompt you to re-calibrate ("Cal Weight" in the Auto Cal menu). This function is switched on or off from the 'Sensor Setup' screen in the SETUP menu “1.

  • Page 15: Calibrating Alternative Attachments

    LM800/ 8000 COMMON CALIBRATION Calibrating alternative attachments 2.5.1 Programming an attachment By default the LM 800i/8000i is programmed to recognise only one attachment. The Auto Cal routine will therefore calibrate for attachment 'A'. You can programme the instrument for up to 8 attachments as follows: - From the "SETUP"...

    3.1.1 Set Output Mode ASCII Text Output for Printers Set the output mode to "Text". The data is output as ASCII text formatted to suit the RDS ICP 200 In-Cab Printer. The default settings (fig. 29) are for the RDS ICP 200 In-Cab Printer.

  • Page 17: Comma-Delimited Output

    Set the output mode to "Data". The data is output as a comma-delimited string, e.g. in a format compatible for import into a database program via a PC / PDA (Palm/Psion etc). Input/Output to the RDS Data Card Module Set the output to "Card". The instrument writes/reads files in .CSV format to/from the data card.

    3 – GENERAL SYSTEM SETTINGS Store / Restore / Print Cal Data NOTE: Requires the Factory PIN number (default = 4084) The calibration factors are manually saved to memory store A. This data is NOT overwritten each time the instrument is switched off, but it WILL be cleared after a Total Software Reset ("RESET FACTORS"). If for example, any calibration data is unwittingly changed without keeping a record of previous settings or data is corrupted, you can restore the calibration data from either of these stores at any time.
