How does the load weighing system perform functions (motor pretorque, bypass, etc)? |
 |
The K-Weigh is like a scale. Based on the changing load, it sends signals to the controller. The
controller, in turn, performs the actual functions. Signals from the K-Weigh can be used directly to
turn on alarm bells, load limit indicators, announcers, etc.
|
|
|
|
Can it ever be used as a stand-alone device? |
|
Yes, the K-Weigh can be used as a stand-alone (not directly tied into the controller) device for
overload protection. Other features like bypass and anti-nuisance do require controller interface.
|
|
|
|
What controllers is it compatible with? |
|
The K-Weigh is compatible with most any controller and has been approved by some of the largest controller manufacturers. |
|
|
|
What makes K-Tech’s unit superior to competitive units? |
|
With almost 30 years of testing and development, along with thousands of installations, K-Tech has
developed a unit that is easier to install, has greater accuracy and stability, and has better reliability
than any other unit.

|
|
Who can install a load weighing unit? |
|
Load Weighing units require mechanical and electrical installation by a professional elevator
technician.
|
|
|
|
What do I have to have to take advantage of load weighing? |
|
The most important thing is to be sure your controller is properly configured to take advantage of the
load weighing signal(s).
|
|
|
|
How long does it take to install? |
|
The K-Tech unit can be installed in less than a day, reducing downtime to the customers. |
|
|
|
How often does it need to be calibrated? |
|
The requirement for calibration varies, however; the unit can be set to self calibrate. Thus the unit
becomes virtually maintenance free.
