When you want to do complex load limiting, or you need to replace a faulty Traffic Light display controller (or put in a new one).

You will need a load signal from somewhere. This is typically a load cell or an output from a crane controller (e.g. Konecranes ControlPRO, ABUS LIS etc). If you don’t have either of these, we sell a couple of types of rope clamp load cells that can be easily bolted on.

Yes, definitely. The recommended method for connecting a TrafficLite to an existing load display is to use a 4-20mA output from the display to a 4-20mA configured TrafficLite or to insert a 4-20mA TrafficLite into an existing current loop.

Where this is not an option, it may be possible to piggyback the TrafficLite onto the strain gauge inputs of the load display.

TrafficLite can be configured wirelessly using a laptop fitted with a Link-2 long range Bluetooth modem and running our FSU application. We don’t recommend using existing Bluetooth modems in your PC as these aren’t sufficiently reliable for configuration purposes. The good news is that we supply one free Link-2 with your first order and the latest FSU software is always available for free download from the Liftlog™ webpage. For more details on configuration, refer to the User Manual.

Yes. When using a strain gauge load cell, TrafficLite can be configured to one of 3 gain settings by moving an internal jumper. Note that you will need to recalibrate the TrafficLite device after changing the gain.

Yes. We've developed an application note that contains details on how to do this. It is available from the Documents section of this webpage.

Almost certainly. The only times when calibration will not be required are when the TrafficLite is being connected an already calibrated Konecranes ControlPro (Model LL102)or ABUS LIS (Model LL103).

You will also need to recalibrate the unit after changing the gain, input type or if you erase the calibration for any reason.
