Product overview
1.1.5 Control cards
The control card converts the inputs from the user and the sensors into outputs to the motor solenoid and
the valves which accomplish the desired motion. The Z 1500/2000 can be equipped with one of two models
of control cards, depending on market and required functionality. The first control card is the ZePRO1 control
card which is an advanced processor based circuit card. The second is the simpler TLC B1 card which is
based on solid state relay technology.
The cylinder configuration and the auto tilt functionality or lack there of has an impact on the software
configuration of the control card required to operate the tail lift. Using a software configuration not meant
for a particular cylinder configuration can lead to the tail lift nor functioning properly or in some cases, not
functioning at all. Every card has a decal showing its configuration. On the ZePRO1 circuit card the configura-
tion is also displayed every time the card is powered on, see "Startup sequence" on page 17 for details. On
the TLC B1 card the configuration can be determined by examining the position of the three switches on the
block in the middle of the card, see "2.2.6 Card configuration" on page 26 for details. The following table
shows the required configurations for the different variants of the Z 1500/2000.
