  • Page 4: Product Overview

    There should also be a sticker showing the same information in the users manual and on the door sill on the drivers side of the vehicle. For the ZS MK2 models covered in this document, the following nomenclature is used. The "ZS" denotes the model designation followed by the "Mk2" which denotes second generation design of the ZS product. "SLI"...
  • Page 5 1.1.2 Main components All ZS MK2 variants consist of the same main components shown below. The support frame contains the hydraulic unit and the control system and serves as the main attachment point for the lift arm and the cylin- ders, two of which are used to lift and the other two to tilt the platform.
  • Page 6 Whether the tail lift is equipped with auto tilt or not can- not be detrmined by reading the typesign. Instead, the platform should be checked for sensors. If there's a rectangular angle sensor installed, then the tail lift is equipped with auto tilt. Fig 2. Rectangular angle sensor. www.zepro.com...
  • Page 7 The control card receives inputs from the control device and the sensors and converts them into outputs to the solenoid and magnets which produce in the desired moton. All ZS MK2 variants are equipped with the TLC-B1 control card based on solid state relay technology. The card is used in other Zepro tail lifts as well and has a few different configurations depending on which tail lift it is meant to control. It is therefore crucial to always make sure that the configuration of the installed card is correct, especially when replacing the card.
  • Page 8: Accessing The Card And Hydraulic Unit

    With the cover removed, the hydraulic unit is accessed by swinging the card out of the way, disconnecting the quick connector for the cable harness, removing the securing nut for the hydraulic unit tray and sliding the tray out. www.zepro.com...
  • Page 9: Battery And Cable Requirements

    Some vehicle models have restrictions regarding the amount of current the lift can access from the existing battery. Some vehicle models do not fully charge the battery. It may therefore be necessary to switch to a battery and sometimes also to a charger with a larger capacity. www.zepro.com...

    Control card Control card TLC B1 relay card 2.1.1 Overview The TLC B1 control card can be split into different functional sections as shown in the following figure. In- depth explanations of each section are contained in the following chapters. Fig 4. TLC B1 control card www.zepro.com...
  • Page 11 The Zepro solution consists of a cab switch, which when active, sends power to the CS pin in the cab switch section of the card. When the switch is in its "Off" position any inputs are disregarded and the tail lift is efec- tively locked.
  • Page 12 Fig 7. Supply socket for different sensors The TLC B1 card can accomodate the sensor types shown in the table below. Different variants of the ZS MK2 use different types and number of sensors depending on functionality. See the functional descriptions and schematics chapter for connection information.
  • Page 13 The control devices can be grouped into two groups depending on their functionality: primary and secondary devices. Primary devices are fixed on the outside of the box body or on the tail lift itself and can operate all functions of the tail lift without any limitations. The most common primary control devices for the ZS MK2 are shown below. Fig 8. CD 20 Fig 9. CD 3...
  • Page 14 Secondary devices on the other hand, are usually accessible from the platform and are in some cases mobile. Therefore, they have certain limitations for safety or practical reasons and cannot operate all functions of the tail lift. The most common secondary control devices for the ZS MK2 are shown below. Fig 10. CD 9 Fig 11.
  • Page 15 To the left of the output block there is a LED strip with 10 LED’s used for active output indication. The bottom LED lights up when the control card is powered. It should stay lit constantly during normal operation. The top 9 LED’s are used to indicate active output with each output having its own dedicated LED. www.zepro.com...
