This publication is optimized for A4 printing. Weighing system specifications SUPPLY LTP: 4 AA batteries (max. duration 40h), or 12V via power supply unit (optional). LTPKPXP: 12V from forklift truck, via power supply unit (optional). MAXIMUM CAPACITY 4000 PSI / 280 bar.
• Please read this manual carefully before using the system. • Assistance must only be carried out by personnel authorized by Dini Argeo. • Dini Argeo is not responsible for any weighing errors resulting from improper use of the system. USER_MAN_ENG_LTP...
Weight indicator Two indicator models are available: • LTP: powered by AA batteries (including about 40 hours of autonomy), 5-key keypad. The vertical inclination can be adjusted using the integrated bracket. • LTPKPXP: powered at 12 Vdc directly from the forklift truck, extended keyboard with 17 keys.

Bracket for fixing the indicator in the cabin Bracket compatible with both models of weight indicator that allows horizontal adjustment during installation. Pressure sensor Stainless steel sensor, IP65 degree of protection and hydraulic connector with 1/4 inch parallel PSB female. Sensor dimensions: length: 73.5 mm;...
Kit installation Before installation • Check that the maximum oil pressure is lower than the maximum value indicated on the sensor datasheet (4000 psi = 280 bar). • Remove the pressure in the hydraulic circuit; this can be done in two ways: Lower the forks to the maximum and Place the forks on a stable object.
Sensor installation The sensor is connected to the lift truck’s hydraulic system via a compatible T-connector (not included in the kit). Install the sensor in the pressure pipe that guides the cylinder (the sensor should be positioned as close as possible to the cylinder). Forintensive use of the forklift truck, it is advisable to use a tube of about 50 cm between the T-piece and the sensor.
Installing the indicator 1. FIND A SUITABLE LOCATION FOR THE INDICATOR: Direct the indicator vertically (LTP model only) and horizontally so that it is clearly visible and easy to reach. For the LTPKPXP model, recommended installation is (at dashboard height).

(indicated by the stickers). The theoretical precision of the LTP system, correctly installed on suitable forklifts and used under optimal conditions, varies from 0.5% to 5% of the capacity (min. 20 kg).
Calibration BRING THE OIL OF THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT TO TEMPERATURE Before starting the calibration procedure for all purposes, it is necessary to heat up the oil in the hydraulic circuit by lifting the forks a few times in a vacuum. In this way the oil temperature during calibration and during use will be almost equal.
