All end user capable configuration tasks are accomplished using the EQSS Gen 3 Configuration Tool

The Tech Doc -- Gen3 - Attachments - Update Existing Gen3-LMS for New Attachments outlines how to download the software suite.

What is the Gen 3 Configuration Tool?

The Gen 3 Configuration Tool is a custom software tool, designed to load and modify configurations for all EQSS LMS safety systems. Both telehandlers and ITC machines can be configured using this piece of software.

What's needed and how is it accomplished?

To configure/reconfigure a Gen 3, you will need:

PC
An internet connection
The Downloaded Software
Administrator rights to install software
An SD card reader
The SD card from your Gen 3 Display unit

Broadly, you will need to:

Install the EQSS Software suite in order to gain access the Gen 3 Configuration Tool.
Insert the SD
Run the 'Gen 3 Configuration Tool'
Select the SD card within the application
Use the various inbuilt software facilities to complete the configuration for your Telehandler/ITC
Save the configuration to your SD card
Eject the SD card from your PC card reader
Insert the SD card back into your Gen 3 Display
Boot the Gen 3 system and allow the SD card to automatically update the configuration in your Gen 3 Display
When the update has completed, the Display will auto reboot
Your Gen 3 system is now ready for use

Now that you understand how the configuration tool is used, we can move on to how the actual configuration is created/modified

Making Configuration Changes

Steps to only Creating/Modifying a Gen 3 Configuration:

1. Insert your SD card into the card reader

2. Boot up the 'Gen-3 Configuration Tool'

3. Select the SD card

4. Accept the found configuration files on the SD card that the app displays

5. All Tabs will now be un-grayed and become available

6. Select the 'Machine Model' tab and select the Machine Model that this Gen 3 is installed on. Then save the changes.

7. If you have shifted your Gen 3 ITC system from one make/model machine to a different make/model machine, then you will need to make a configuration selection from the list of available machines in the Gen 3 Configuration Tool, under the 'Change' heading.

8. Follow the steps in the 'Updating the Gen 3 Display' section to complete the software update to the Gen 3 Display

Steps to Loading ITC specific Display Software on a new Display and then selecting the config:

1. If you need to Re-Instate a new or repaired Display, then you will need to update display software (for an ITC machine) and then make a configuration selection from the list of available machines in the Gen 3 Configuration Tool, under the 'Change' heading.

2. Select the 'Update' tab

3. Under the 'Display Software Package Update' click the 'Load New Update' button

4. Select the itc config file

5. Then, select the 'Save Changes' button

7. In the center of the window is the machine make/model selection list.

8. Select your machine/model (example below shows the selection of a 'Volvo 120H - Wilshaw' then click 'Save Changes' to save the selection

Selected machine below is: Volvo 120H - Wilshaw specific

The makes/models of machines that are listed are dependent on initial login to the updater tool. When logged in as a Wilshaw user, then Volvo machines will be listed and Volvo software/configuration updates will be possible.

9. To enable/disable attachment, click on the 'Attachments' tab

10. The attachments tab will list machine attachments in the following colors:

black text
red text with a line through the center of the text (indicates that no calibration is available for that attachment)

The black text lists attachments that have a load chart, as well as a calibration and are immediately usable when the 'Attachment Enabled' box is ticked.
