Gen3 - User - Understanding the Screen Layout

All principle Telehandler operating data is displayed on the EQSS Gen 3 main screen

Screen below with normal and stability within range conditions


Screen below with overloaded and stability out of range conditions


Load Percentage – Shows the percentage of maximum load for the Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL) and Load Moment Indicator (LMI). If the LMI has not been fitted there will only be one percentage bar for the RCL. The load percentage number displays the maximum of the two bars.

The bars are color coded depending on their load percentage, with green between 0% - 79%,

yellow between 80% - 99%

and red 100%+.


Attachment – This displays the description of the currently selected attachment. 


Rating Chart – This shows the rating chart for the currently selected attachment and the stabilizer configuration. Each rating chart band is color coded to indicate the maximum reach of the telehandler with the current load. The current position of the attachment within the chart is indicated with the blue cross-hairs. Using the operator control dial the chart can zoom into the current load center for greater detail.


Current Date - shows the current date and time.
Stability Triangle – The stability window shows the current stability status of the telehandler.  It shows the current load center of the telehandler indicated by the blue cross-hairs. If the cross-hair approaches the edge of the triangle the telehandler will tip over.


Notification Icons – This area displays the important notification icons (e.g. such as dynamic stability warning).
These will only be displayed under special circumstances or if certain faults are detected.


Status Window
Current Load – This displays the currently lifted load in tonnes and has a 100 Kg resolution.
Maximum Load Rating – This displays the maximum rating in kilograms from the rating chart for the current boom position.

Working Radius – This displays the current radius of the attachment in meters measured from the attachment load center to the front of the tire.
Total Height – This displays the current height of the attachment from the ground to the bottom of the attachment.
Boom Length – This displays the current length or extension of the boom in meters
Boom Angle – This displays the current boom angle in degrees 
Override Indicator - is shown while pressing the override button. The remaining override time is shown in seconds.
Stability Indicator - is shown when the center of gravity is approaching the edge of the triangle. The warning sound is also produced when this indicator is shown.
Cutout Indicator - is shown when a hydraulic cutout is produced by either the RCL or LMI. The cutout sound is also produced when this indicator is shown.
Lateral Tilt - shows the lateral carrier angle in degrees. The arrow on either of the left or right side indicates the tilt direction.
Stabilizers - shows the status of each stabilizer, with the left stabilizer down currently shown. When both stabilizers are down the size of the stabilizer triangle increases and the rating chart is updated.
Longitudinal Tilt - shows the longitudinal carrier angle in degrees. The arrow on either sides indicates the tilt direction. 
​
As an added safety feature the Gen-3 safety system will automatically de-rate the maximum rating further than is specified on the rating chart when the attachment load center is within the negative working radius region (when the load is above the front wheels and the cabin). This should have a minimal impact on the performance of the machine since the load center rarely passes within the negative working radius region during lifting operations.
The height measurement is taken from the ground to the bottom of the attachment. It is not the total height of the telehandler and should not be used as a maximum height limit. If a suspended load is attached it does not measure the height of the load from the ground.

Please note that the GEN 3 LMS is not a weighing system. It is a weight monitoring system - designed to create operation safety cutouts when limits are exceeded.
