Impact Sensor - Yale VERACITOR GCC030VX Operating Manual

Operating Procedures
the center of gravity of the load. Both the vertical and hori-
zontal load centers are specified on the Nameplate.
Loads should be transported while centered on the center-
line of the lift truck. The operator must know whether or not
a load is within the maximum capacity of the lift truck
before the load is handled.

Impact Sensor

The lift trucks covered in this Operating Manual may be
equipped with an optional impact sensor that can be ena-
bled or disabled by a service technician. The impact sensor
will sense when the lift truck has hit an object, and will
cause the lift truck to shutdown. There are two types of
impact that the Vehicle System Manager (VSM) recogni-
zes: soft impact and hard impact.
The data parameters that determine whether an impact is a
soft or hard one are entered into the lift truck's VSM by per-
sonnel with a service password (see Operator Passwords
in this section).
If the impact sensor option is enabled and an impact has
been detected, then lift truck will shut down once the
Impact Shutdown Timer has expired (range is from 0 to 30
seconds). During this time an alarm will sound and the
66
Impact Detection icon will be displayed on the LCD screen.
If the time is set to 0 seconds, the lift truck will shut down
right after the impact is detected and no alarm will sound.
The Impact Shutdown Timer and other Impact related
setup parameters can be set by either a service technician
or supervisor.
The truck can be configured to completely shut down after
an impact, which will include the electro-hydraulic func-
tions. If a load is in the raised position and needs to be low-
ered, see Load Handling, Emergency Load Lowering
and Figure 15.
Once shutdown, the lift truck cannot move until the impact
sensor is reset by a supervisor or service technician. The
Impact Detection icon will be displayed on the LCD screen
any time the accelerator pedal is depressed (or hydraulic
lever is moved, if configured to shut the truck completely
down) while the truck is shut down.
