Das Gerät darf nur von geschultem oder beruflich ausgebildetem Fachpersonal (z. B. eichrechtlich anerkannter Instandsetzer) repariert werden. Die Serviceanleitung ist bindend für Reparaturen. Das Gerät muss nach erfolgter Reparatur wieder in den Originalzustand zurückversetzt werden. Es dürfen nur Originalersatzteile verwendet werden. VHT-SH-e-0910...
!!! IMPORTANT !!! Do not weld on the system with the load cells mounted. If the welding current passes through the load cell, they will be destroyed. Do not touch the contacts on the electronic boards. Static electricity will destroy components. VHT-SH-e-0910...
It is most important that all forces pass through the load cells and that no parts of the basic fork, pushrod or load wheel holder of the pallet truck have mechanical contact with the upper fork (weighing part). VHT-SH-e-0910...
0.000002 Volt. When working with such small electrical signals, the cabling has to be 100%. Therefore, the signal is transmitted from the load cells to the indicator via a special cable. All connections have to be soldered and humidity or corrosion of contacts will cause instability in the reading. VHT-SH-e-0910...
Because of the extremely small signal levels the board is very sensitive to humidity and contact with chemical substances that will influence the solder contacts. 2.4 BATTERY The power supply takes place via an 12V interchangeable battery module (VHT-A01). VHT-SH-e-0910...
G. An error message indicates over- or underload, with or without load on the scale. H. The display does not react to loads being placed on or removed from the scale. Keys do not work. J. Segments fail on display. For error messages displayed on the indicator, please refer to chapter 9. VHT-SH-e-0910...
The display does not react to loads being placed on the scale. Check the indicator. Only 5.6.1 and 5.6.4. Check the cabling. Check the load cells. Keys do not work. Check the indicator. Segments fail on display. Check the indicator. VHT-SH-e-0910...
5.1 CHECK BATTERY • Check the battery Empty battery can be replaced with an 12V interchangeable battery module (VHT-A01). 5.2 CHECK MECHANISM 5.2.1 Check whether weighing is obstructed mechanically. Weigh yourself while standing on the extreme corners of the system. Your weight must be identical on all corners.
With the indicator turned on, with no load on the forks, between the load cell signal wires, green and white, the following values should be measures: • Standard system and without printer: 0.000 to 0.002 V DC. (V AC for printer and /or approved systems) VHT-SH-e-0910...
If the load cell board is oxidized then warming the solder points with a soldering unit can offer a solution. The cable can be replaced (temporarily) by another cable to see if this will solve the problem. VHT-SH-e-0910...
5.6.3 Check for broken or loose connections None of the cables to the switch, safety fuse holder or plug should be loose. VHT-SH-e-0910...

The connector on the flat cable is very sensitive to humidity. Check for this. If humid, heat this component for a longer period of time. 5.6.8 Check LCD display on the indicator By bending the board slightly while functioning, in different directions and diagonally, broken display contacts can be located.

If no changes were made, the display will return directly into the normal weighing mode. In the following pages the different parameters are explained and the standard settings are given. Parameters which are not yet used will not be accessible or displayed with underscores. VHT-SH-e-0910...

For a normal weighing system this would be between 5 and 8 percent. A larger percentage could mean one or more load cells are broken. A lower percentage could mean the fork cover is not mounted. The zero point has been defined, the system automatically returns to the standard weighing mode. VHT-SH-e-0910...
