Payload Meter III - Section 60 OM6009 8/11
Page 60-6
LOAD DISPLAY AND OPERATOR
SWITCHES
The lower display on the speedometer/load display is
used for payload information. Use the operator
switches to scroll to the “PAYLOAD DATA” main level
screen, then through the following payload meter
information displays:
• Operator ID
• Total Shift Tons
• Shift Load Counter
• Suspension Pressures and Inclinometer
The display holds the operator ID and total shift tons
information until the OK position of the operator
switch is pressed. The suspension pressures,
inclinometer, and payload displays are based on
current sensor inputs.
Setting the Operator ID
The current operator ID number is recorded with
each haul cycle. The number can be between 0 and
9999.
To set the operator ID, use the arrow positions of the
operator switches to scroll to the “PAYLOAD DATA”
main level screen. Then refer to “Digital Display
Operation - Entering Payload Meter Data” in Section
32. Follow the flow chart, substituting your operator
ID for the one in the example.
If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds, the display
will return to normal operation. The number being
entered will be lost and the operator ID returns to the
previous number.
Total Ton and Total Load Counters
PLMIII allows the truck operator to monitor and track
the total tons hauled and the number of haul cycles
during the shift. This display can be cleared at the
beginning of each shift to allow the operator to record
how many loads and tons have been hauled during
the shift.
To view the total ton and total load counters, refer to
“Digital Display Operation - Toggling Through Main
Level Screens” in Section 32. Follow the flow chart to
the desired payload meter information screen.
The total ton counter records the number of tons
hauled since the last time it was cleared. This display
is in 100’s of tons. This display can be cleared at the
beginning of each shift to allow the operator to record
how many tons have been hauled during the shift.
The total load counter records the number of loads
hauled since the last time it was cleared. This display
can be cleared at the beginning of each shift to allow
the operator to record how many loads have been
hauled during the shift.
Clearing the total ton counter or total load counter
clears both records.
To clear the total ton and total load counter, press the
OK position of the operator switch while viewing this
screen.
Viewing Live Sensor Data
The display can also be used to quickly show the
current readings from the four suspension pressure
sensors and the inclinometer. This can be used
during regularly scheduled service periods to check
the state of the suspensions. These displays are live
and will update as the values change.
The live displays cannot be cleared and the OK
position of the operator switch will have no effect.
The units for the display are controlled by the
configuration of the payload meter. If the payload
meter is set to display metric units, the pressures will
be displayed in tenths of kg/cm
2
.
The inclinometer displays whole degrees of incline.
Positive incline is truck nose up.
