End of aisle automatic braking
End of aisle automatic braking
This unit is used to initiate automatic braking to
creep speed when entering the aisle end area.
It is intended to help prevent the operator of the
truck from unintentionally driving too quickly
out of an aisle.
The following devices can be used to detect
aisle end areas:
• Proximity switches
• Magnet-operated switches
• Reflective light barriers
• RFID technology
If desired, an absolute stop can be activated
at the end of the aisle using an additional
transmitter. By using the drive direction
detection function, the truck can only be
driven in the opposite direction from this stop
position. Pressing and holding the enable
button allows the truck to be driven at max.
2.5 km/h in the braking direction. The truck is
then not shut off before the end of the aisle. If
the truck leaves the braking area and drives
towards the centre of the aisle, it automatically
switches to normal driving mode.
If one of the two signal t
ransmitters fails, the
full brake function is r
etained. However, it is
only possible to conti
nue driving if the enable
button is pressed and h
eld down. The drive
