Main controller
I. Diagnostic Center
The Diagnostic Center is located in the main electric box. The Diagnostic Center facilitates the troubleshooting electric and
hydraulic problems. The Diagnostic Center can also be used for parameters adjustments (see procedures in chapter 2.1).
The Diagnostic Center has the same priority than loader controls (for example, switches and joysticks). If a switch or joystick is
used to control a function, release that function before using the Diagnostic Center OPERATIONS menu.
NOTE: Both emergency stop buttons must be pulled out, and the network between
the main controller and the Diagnostic Center must be working in order to be able to
use the Diagnostic Center.
If the display shows MAIN CONTROLLER NO SIGNAL, it is possible to move the network termination
resistor on one of the elevator module to the back of the display (spare connector) in order to get the
network running between the main controller and the diagnostic.
As it depends what is the network failure, just moving the network termination resistor might not work. If not, bridge network (MB-
6) and elevator network (MB-7) connectors at the back of the main box (the two smaller connectors) can be disconnected so that
the CAN OPEN network will be only between the main controller and the diagnostic center creating a very small network between
the main controller and the diagnostic center..
Make sure both platforms are clear before pressing anything on the panel.
Loader functions can be test-run inadvertently and cargo can be
transferred off the deck.
Make sure all personnel are clear of loader before using the Diagnostic
Center. Loader functions can be test-run inadvertently and cause serious
injury or death.
Test Modes:
• Individual Test-run: It is possible to operate any available loader function from the Diagnostic Center, even if the
corresponding control switch has failed.
• The real-time value of each input can be monitored.
• Each output can be forced ON to test the components.
Adjustments:
• Engine RPM
• Adjustment of proportional valves threshold.
• Adjust cargo transfer speeds, elevator lift speeds, drive speeds from the Diagnostic Center.

INPUTS
Example for reading the display on this page: J-5 BRIDGE DOWN 800
LS-04 EL NEAR FRAME 0
• Line 1 shows a joystick value (J-5) for bridge down. LS-28 OVERTRAVEL* 1
Value 800 indicates that the joystick is activated at 80% SW-11 DRIVE FWD 0
of the full stroke. 0 would be Joystick Bridge down not
activated.
• Line 2 shows a proximity switch value (LS-04) for
Elevator near frame (24 in / 60 cm above the frame).
The value is 0 so it means that the elevator is above 24
inches. 1 would mean that the elevator is below that
point.
• Line 3 shows another proximity switch for elevator
overtravel. This proximity switch is normally closed, so
there is a “ * “ at the end of the description to indicate
that the value “1” means “nothing in front of the sensor”.
A “1” corresponds to voltage at the input. A “1” also
corresponds to a proximity sensor light ON.
• Line 4 shows the status of a switch on the console, it
tells that the drive forward switch is not active.
Figure 2.2.1.9: Diagnostic Center - Inputs
The symbol will appear at the end of the line corresponding to the valve with an open circuit.
The symbol will appear at the end of the line corresponding to the valve with short circuit.
The status of the open/short circuit is reset every 30 seconds. A valve with an intermittent short or open circuit could work fine,
then OFF for 30 seconds, and then if the problem disappears, it will be ON again and so on. The fault will be displayed in the F4 -
ERROR LOG menu and the trouble light on the cargo console will be ON indicating an entry in the error log.
The symbol will appear at the end of the line corresponding to the valve with an open circuit.
The symbol will appear at the end of the line corresponding to the valve with short circuit.
The status of the open/short circuit is reset every 30 seconds. A valve with an intermittent short or open circuit could work fine,
then OFF for 30 seconds, and then if the problem disappears, it will be ON again and so on. The fault will be displayed in the F4 -

NOTE: On the same I/O module, if there is a short on one of the outputs, the output
will be turned OFF. If there is another output shorted, this output will also be turned
OFF. However, if there is an open circuit, the other short or open circuit on this same
I/O module will not be detected. Note that the outputs are still short protected but it
won’t show the error on the diagnostic center.

Symptoms: When this sensor is faulty, the elevator will not move up.
Solutions:
Figure 2.2.1.36 Overtravel proximity switch
-Check in DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS – LS-28 to make sure that the
sensor is working properly.
Solutions:
-Check the value at interface in DIAGNOSTIC
– INPUTS – RFT1 or RFT2.
-If the value is 0, check the voltage in the
transducer connector. There should be
Figure 2.2.1.37: Bridge rear cargo stops transducers
approximately 24V between pin A and C of the
transducer connector (under the bridge at the
back).
- If there is no voltage, make sure that the network module is powered (green light on the module, at the front of the
bridge). Correct the situation if required.
- If there is still no power at the connector, check the wiring.
-Check also the transducer with an ohmmeter to make sure it works properly. The resistance should be approximately
5 kOhms between pins A and C. Pin B is the signal and the resistance value should varie between 0 and 5 kOhms
when the sensor turns (between pins A and B, and pins C and B).
-It could be also an intermittent problem with the transducer even though it seems to work fine. If there is a dead zone
inside the sensor, it might trigger a fault. Replace the transducer.
-This error is reset only when the system is turned OFF.
- If the wiring is ok, check the network module. The two transducers (left and right) connectors on the network module
can be inverted to test if the input is faulty. In this case, RFT-1 and RFT-2 on the diagnostic center will be inverted.
Symptoms: When this sensor is not adjusted, the elevator will move up slowly.
Solutions:
-Try to readjust the transducer set point in CONFIGURATION – BR TRANSDUCERS RESET. The transducer could be
simply unadjusted.
Solutions:
-Check the voltage on the CAN LOW and CAN HIGH lines. CAN LOW should be around 2VDC and CAN HIGH should
be around 2.5VDC. If one of those lines is at 0V or 24V, check the wiring.
-If one line was connected to 24V, there is a high probability that many CAN ports are damaged.
-If one line was connected to 0V or ground, there is normally no damage. Find the problem and the network should
come back to normal.
-CAN1 is related to wires 0180 (CAN low) and 0181 (CAN high).
-CAN2 is related to wires 0190 (CAN low) and 0191 (CAN high).
-Disconnect wires 0180, 0181, 0190 and 0191 from the main controller in the main controller box. Those wires can be
found on the terminal blocks. Turn OFF the power, and then back ON. If the error is still there, replace the main
controller.
Solutions:
-Check the value of the pedal with a voltmeter in the console on pin 6 of the 6 pins connector at the back of the switches
module in the cargo console (wire 9616).
-If there is no voltage, check the 5V supply from the switches module pin 8 of the 9 pins connector (wire 9600)
-Check the wiring.
-Check also the voltage directly in the pedal connector.
-It is not possible to mesure the pedal output in ohms as it is an electronic pedal that needs 5V supply to output a
voltage.
-Make sure that the switches module SWM-1 in DIAGNOSTIC – NETWORK is working (value 1).
The error will occur when a joystick does not communicate with the main controller network requests.
Solutions:
-Check the light at the back of the joystick. It must be solid green for the joystick to work properly.
-If there is no light, there is a power problem. Check the wiring (wires 0180 and 0181).
-If there is a red light flashing or not, either there is a network problem or a faulty joystick.
-If the green light is flashing, it means that the joystick is working functional, but it does not receive signal from the main
controller. Most probably this is a network problem. Check the wiring
-Check the joystick troubleshooting section in this chapter.
Symptoms: In this case, the elevator rear section will not allow any reverse movements.
Possible causes: No hydraulic power to the rear stop cylinder so the rear stop did not move as it was supposed to.
Incorrect adjustment, sensor too far from rear stop
Faulty proximity sensor LS-18
Wiring problem
Network module problem
Solutions:
-If the error is repetitive, check in DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS –
LS-18 to make sure that the sensor is working properly.
-If not, check wiring.
-If the wiring is ok, check the network module.
-Check the wire junctions inside the float tube to make sure there is not an open circuit there.
Symptoms: The elevator will not lift (side guides interlock option)
Possible causes: No hydraulic power to the side guide cylinder so the
guide did not move as it was supposed to.

Incorrect adjustment, sensor too far from side guide
proximity switch (838 shown)
Faulty proximity sensor
Wiring problem
Network module problem
Solutions:
-If the error is repetitive, check in DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS – LS-XX to make sure that the sensor is working properly.
-If not, check wiring. If there is no diagnostic light on the proximity switch, there is no power so it might be the cable.
-If the wiring is ok, check the network module.
Symptoms: None
Possible causes: Water intrusion
Internal module problem
The error will occur when a problematic situation with the bridge movement
is detected by the bridge security device sensor located at the front of the
bridge between the scissor and the chassis.
The system will stop the engine when there is a problem detected.
Different situations are covered:
1- The bridge is moving up or down and the bridge lift switches/joystick
are not activated.
2- The bridge is moving in the wrong direction than what is requested.
3- The elevator lifts the bridge while the bridge lift switches/joystick are Figure 2.2.1.48: Bridge Security
not activated. Device (121 shown)
Solutions:
- Check that there is no error #48 (sensor RFT-7) first and solve this before troubleshooting this error #49.
- Check for any problems related to the bridge or elevator movements.
- Check for stuck hydraulic valves or shorts in the wiring that would activate bridge or elevator lift valves.
There are 2 redundant bridge lift switches. The error will occur when
one of the switch is active and that the other is not active for more
than 2 minutes.
This is a warning only. It does not block operation.
Solutions:
- Check voltage on all bridge lift switches to make sure that the
switches are working properly. It could be on the driver side or cargo
side.
- Check inputs in the diagnostic center to see if the PLC can read the
switches signals.
Symptoms: The elevator will not lift (side guides interlock option)
Possible causes: No hydraulic power to the side guide cylinder so the
guide did not move as it was supposed to.

Faulty proximity sensor
Wiring problem
Network module problem
Solutions:
-If the error is repetitive, check in DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS – LS-XX to make sure that the sensor is working properly.
-If not, check wiring. If there is no diagnostic light on the proximity switch, there is no power so it might be the cable.
-If the wiring is ok, check the network module.
Solutions:
Check pump pressure to make sure the pump delivers some pressure.
Check pressure sensor wiring
Replace pressure sensor
Possible causes:
Incorrect adjustment, sensor too far from Driveshaft
Faulty proximity sensor
Wiring problem
Solutions:
-The sensor must read 4 pulses per shaft revolution. Make sure the
sensor is adjusted properly.
-If there is no power to the sensor, check wiring.
-If the sensor detects pulses but the speed displayed in INPUTS is 0 then check wiring from sensor to PLC.
-Replace sensor.
Possible causes:
No pressure from pump
Faulty pressure sensor
Wiring problem
Solutions:
Check pump pressure to make sure the pump delivers some pressure.
Check pressure sensor wiring
Replace pressure sensor
Possible causes:
Incorrect adjustment, sensor too close to target when
the bumper is not compressed
Faulty proximity sensor
Wiring problem
Solutions:
There are 2 strings of proximity sensors connected in
series. The first string is for the longer center section
and it is connected to 1 input. The other bumpers are
connected together and connected to another input of
the bridge I/O modules.
-Check that you have signal from the 2 inputs in
DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS to make sure that the sensor
is working properly. All sensors are normally closed so both inputs should show “1”.
-All proximity switch sensors behind the bumper should have their status light ON when the bumper is not pressed.
Possible causes:
-Faulty alternator
-Faulty battery
Possible causes:
Incorrect adjustment, sensor too high
Faulty Sensor
Wiring problem
Solutions:
The sensor is normally closed and it is a simple
mechanical contact inside the float.
-Check that you have voltage feed wire and also on
the signal wire inside the float switch.
-Also check that the signal is coming back to the
main box.
-Check in DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS – LS-XX to
make sure that the sensor read by the PLC. You
should read a “1” when there is oil.
Symptoms: Pump pressure is limited. You may not be able to lift full weight on bridge.
Possible causes:
Faulty pressure sensor
Wiring problem (4-20 mA loop is open)
Solutions:
Check pressure sensor wiring

NOTE: Bridge And Elevator Manifolds Are All The Same As Shown Above But
Configured With Different Number Of Valves.
The first step to find out the source of a problem is to identify what is not working. For example, the bridge up function is not
working from the cargo console. There are many elements between the joystick and the valve that do the action. To cut the
problem investigation by half, try first the function with the diagnostic center to discard the input portion from the system. Use the
OPERATION menu to activate BRIDGE UP function.
If the function works with the diagnostic center, it means that there is a problem with the input device or the wiring. Use the
diagnostic center, section F2-DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS. It is very simple to confirm that the input works just looking at the joystick
bridge up line on the diagnostic center as it will show you the real-time value of the input. Activate the joystick bridge up and you
should see the value changing on the diagnostic center. If not, it is either a bad joystick or bad wiring.
In case the value of the joystick does not change on the diagnostic center when actuated, there is a diagnostic light under the
joystick to check its status. Refer to the joystick section in this chapter for joystick troubleshooting information.
If the inputs are found functional, the problem is on the outputs side. Activate the function (bridge up in this example) and check on
the diagnostic center in F2-DIAGNOSTIC – OUTPUTS DIGITAL OR ANALOG. Find the valves related to the problematic function
and check if they are activated or not. This will confirm that the PLC wants to activate the valves. It might not work but at least the
logic is checked here. At this point, if the valve is activated on the diagnostic center and that there is no voltage at the connector
(or light on the connector), there might be a problem with the output circuitry of the corresponding electronic module or wiring.
Replace if necessary.
Problem
II.A.1. Joysticks
The joysticks are “CAN Open joysticks” meaning that the position of the handle and the status of the switch, if any, are transmitted
over the network. This simplifies the wiring as there are only 6 wires to make it work.
The joysticks can be “daisy chained” together using the male and female connectors. Those two connectors are connected in
parallel inside the joystick. Two wires are for power ( red (+) and black(-) ) Two wires are for the CAN bus network.
Male Female
connector connector
All joysticks share the same wires. This means that two same joysticks can be connected on the network. What differentiates
them for the main controller is the resistor connected to the joystick. The resistor is a small square black box with two wires that
connect to the two pink connectors on the joystick. This gives a number to the joystick.
IDK-200
238769
001
On the electrical schematic you will find the joystick’s ID. The last digit of the identification IDK-200 is the ID, e.g. IDK-204 is ID 4.
Bridge lift and elevator lift joysticks DO NOT NEED resistors as the network ID is hardcoded inside the joystick.
A troubleshooting strategy to state whether or not a joystick is bad and need to be replaced is to try it at another place. Disconnect
all joysticks and connect the suspected bad one to the 4 pins connector coming from the console terminal block if it does not work,
change the ID resistor of the bad joystick with the resistor of a working joysticks. Reset the joystick and check if the problem
moves.
For troubleshooting, only connect one joystick at the time to see if this one works or not and do this for all joysticks. The joysticks
can be connected in any order as long as one connects to the main connector coming from the terminal blocks.
Changing the joystick resistor will not change the ID of the joystick as it is stored in memory. To install a new joystick or move it
from one location to the other on the panel requires a joystick RESET.
1. Power OFF.
2. Temporarily install a wire between the two resistor terminals on the joystick. (short-circuit)
Resistor
terminals
3. Power ON during 2-3 sec ONLY. (Power ON for more than 5 sec exits the reset sequence.)
4. Power OFF.
5. Power ON. At this point, the LED inside the joystick should be blinking RED. If not, go to step 1.
6. Power OFF.
7. Install the new resistor.
8. Power ON. At this point, the LED inside the joystick should be GREEN.
NOT all joysticks can be exchanged. Only Bridge cargo, Elevator Front cargo and Elevator Rear cargo can
be exchanged. The Bridge lift and Elevator lift joystick do not have an external resistor.
STATUS LIGHT
There is a status light under the joystick that indicates its status. The following table shows the different possibilities.
PREOPERATIONAL STATE means that the main controller is not sending signal.
OPERATIONAL STATE means that the main controller is sending pulses to the joystick. If a joystick is bad, it could still send
messages with position 0 but an error will be logged in the ERROR LOG menu to indicate a bad signal.
STOPPED STATE means that the main controller stopped sending pulses to the joystick and it is just waiting.
NOTE: If the light is YELLOW, the joystick must be returned to the manufacturer as it is in programming mode.
The switches and light indicators on this module are connected to the CAN Bus network 2 and controlled by the main controller.
There is no wiring for those switches. It is only the power and the network wires.
The switches module is installed on the cargo console. It has 2 connectors. The 9-pin is for power, network and outputs. The 6-pin
is for inputs. (Switch is secured by means of C-clip brackets, make sure these are slightly tight just to put enough pressure on the
gasket loated at the perimeter of the switch. Since perimeter gasket is glued, a new gasket is needed everytime the switch module
is dismantled)
Most of the console switches are connected to the inputs of this module so that the system can read the status of those switches.
II.B.1. Wiring
The back of the module looks like the following picture.
For example, input 2 is wire number 9612 (96 is the ID of the module, 1 stands for Input and 2 means input 2). Another example,
output 4 is wire number 9604 (96 is the ID of the module, 0 stands for Output and 4 means for output 4).
When an input pin is left unconnected, the voltage reads a few volts (around 4.5V except for input 6) because of the internal
resistors. The typical connection of a switch is the switch common connected to the input and the switch either pulls that wire to
ground or positive voltage. The status of all those switches is dispalayed on the diagnostic center in the section DIAGNOSTIC –
INPUTS.
CAN_L (#190) and CAN_H (#191) are the 2 wires for the network. THEY MUST NOT BE INVERTED or else it won’t work.
• No light: No power
• Red flashing light (1 Hz): This is the normal mode. This status indicates that the module is powered.
• Red flashing light (3 Hz): Internal problem, the module must to be replaced.
CAN is the protocol use for the transmission of data between the modules. The principle is that each module sends messages to
each other to share their information. The Main Controller located in the main box is the brain where all the decisions are taken.
For example, when ELEVATOR UP fonction is active, valves connected to the main controller activate the rear platform lift. The
bridge I/O module (on which the bridge stop transducers are connected) transmits the position of the bridge stops to the main
controller where the decision will be taken to stop the elevator at the bridge interface. All the information is transmitted over the
two network wires.
The wires for Network 1 are 0180 (CAN_L) and 0181 (CAN_H). The resistance value between those two wires is 60±10 ohms
because there are two 120 ohms resistors in parallel.
The wiring for an I/O module is either through the strain relief at its end or through the CAN in or CAN out connectors on top.
There is a green light and a red light on all those modules to determine their status. The following table shows the different
possibilities.
There are also 3 rotary switches to set the network speed and network ID for each of the IO modules. The information is in the
electrical schematic.
The wires for Network 2 are 0190 (CAN_L) and 0191 (CAN_H). The resistance value between those two wires is 60±10 ohms
because there are two 120 ohms resistors in parallel.
Only the console switches module and the main controller are connected to this network.
NOTE: One network may be functional while the other may not.
Check the status lights on the modules to find out if there is only one portion of the network that is not working. All green lights
must be flashing at 2 Hz. The goal is to isolate the problem with the different strategies.
You can disconnect parts of the network to isolate the problem. If the network is not functional, disconnect the 6 pins connectors at
the back of the main box. Reconnect them one by one or only one at the time and see if that part of the network is working looking
at the green flashing lights on the modules.
If you installed a new module, double check the switches settings with your electrical
schematic to make sure that the network speed and network ID are ok (S1, S2 and S3).
The rotary switches are very small and to make sure that the selected number is the right
one, turn the switch one position and then come back to the right setting. The new setting
only takes effect after a power OFF / ON cycle
Turn the power OFF (turn OFF ignition key or push the E-Stop button)
Measure the resistance between CAN_L (wire#0190) and CAN_H (wire#0191) with an ohmmeter.
The resistance must be 60±10 ohms. If it is not the case, there is an open circuit on either of those wires.
Network
Network 1, wires 0180 and 0181 60±10 Ohms termination
Network 2, wires 0190 and 0191 60±10 Ohms resistors
Table 2.2.2.4: Resistance of CAN Networks Network Network
connectors terminals
1. Test at different locations the resistance between the two network wires to find out where
the wire break is (directly in the modules, on the terminal blocks, on the resistors in the
terminal blocks, in the connectors). For example, if the resistance is 60 ohms near the
main controller and 120 ohms on the switches module, the wire break is located between
the main box and the module. Test the resistance in the console on the connector coming
from the main box. If you read 60 ohms, it means that the wire break is between there
and the switches module… and so on.
2. If there is no wire break, it might be that wires CAN_L and CAN_H are inverted. In this
case, the resistance will be 60 ohms between the two lines but the network will not work.
Follow the two wires and make sure that they are not inverted somewhere.
Resistors Locations
Network 1:
-Resistor on the terminal block in the console
-Resistor on the front IO module on the elevator
Network 2:
-Resistor on the terminal block in the main box
-Resistor on the terminal block in the console
If there is a bridge stop transducer error in the ERROR LOG, the voltage read by the system is either out of range or misadjusted. Two
separate messages will appear in the ERROR LOG to distinguish the two problems.
The bridge stop real-time value can be monitored in the menu DIAGNOSTIC – INPUTS under RFT-1 (RIGHT) and RFT-2 (LEFT).
• Locate transducer on right side or left side depending of which transducer is faulty.
• Pull out both emergency stop buttons. Start loader.
• Lower elevator completely in the down position
• Select menu DIAGNOSTIC – INPUT. Find in the list RFT-1 and RFT-2.
• With ignition key ON, check the value of both transducer and make sure it is within the range of 130 to 800 while moving the pallet
stop with one hand from the down position to the up position (flush with the bridge).
• If the value is not within that range, replace the faulty transducer. Install elevator and bridge safety supports before replacement.
Make sure there is no cargo on the decks and make sure all personnel are
clear of loader before using Diagnostic Center for any of the following
procedures.
Note: Loader must be in load mode with motor running. The Bridge and the Elevator
must be at frame (Bridge and Elevator completely down).
Lift the left hand side bridge stop with one hand to simulate the elevator at
interface with the bridge and make sure that the overtravel proximity
sensor located just behind the bridge left stop detects the bridge stop in
the interfaced position. If it is not the case, correct the situation before
starting the setup.
Adjust prox so that it detects
just when the bridge stop is
leveled with the bottom of the
bridge.
1) Validate that the proximity switch Yellow light is ON when the elevator is NOT at interface.
a. If this is not the case, check the wiring to verify that the proximity switch is powered. Refer to your electrical
schematic. If the proximity switch is faulty, order a replacement.
2) Validate that the proximity switch yellow light is OFF when the elevator is at interface with bridge.
a. If this is not the case probably the proximity switch is too far from the pallet stop and it does not detect it when the
elevator is at interface. The proximity switch should be at about 3/16” or 5mm from the pallet stop. Adjust it so
that it detects the pallet stop (the yellow light should be turned off when if detects metal).
b. THIS IS SERIOUS FAULT IF THE PROXIMITY SWITCH FAILS TO DETECT THE PALLET STOP WHEN THE
ELEVATOR IS AT INTERFACE AS THE PROTECTION WON’T BE ACTIVIATED IF A PROBLEM OCCURS.
TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTIONS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
3) With diagnostic center, go to DIAGNOSTIC - INPUTS menu and validate that the Input LS-28 (the overtravel proximity
switch) is changing when the elevator is at interface with bridge (value will be 0) or not (value will be 1).
Proximity sensor
NOTE: If an Overtravel error is in the ERROR LOG and you are not able to move the
elevator ‘’UP’’, you must lower the elevator at frame position to reset the error. If the
elevator won’t response, you must readjust the overtravel proximity switch LS-28 to
correct the problem.
There is an ultrasonic sensor installed on the front of the elevator facing toward the bridge. When you loose the detection of the
bridge with the ultrasonic sensor, a check is made on the bridge transducer to detect if something is on the bridge pallet stop. If it’s
the case, the elevator down, bridge lift and cargo transfer are blocked in order to avoid abnormal situation. To clear this status, you
need to raise the elevator at bridge interface in order to reactivate cargo transfer to clear the pallet stop.
NOTE: If a straddle interlock engaged status is in the INFORMATION menu you are
not able to move the elevator ‘’DOWN’’, bridge “UP/DOWN” and carago transfer, you
must raise the elevator at interface with bridge position and clear the bridge pallet
stop to clear the status.

Open the cover as shown above and set the 3 rotary switches S1, S2 and S3 according to what was set in the module that was just
removed, or check your electrical schematic.
There is a green light and a red light on all those modules to determine their status. The following table shows the different
possibilities.
When the main controller module is replaced, it must be programmed. This is normally done by TLD service. If you connect the
module and the green status LED is flashing at 5 Hz, it means that there is no software. Contact TLD service for programming.
- Simply unplug the module and remove the 4 screws holding it in place.
- Pull up the metal clip to remove the connector.
- Install the new module.
- Reinstall the connector by inserting the bottom part first, then align the metal clip and push it down.
- Turn the power ON.
- The green status light should blink at 2 Hz. If it stays steady ON, there is a problem with the programming as the software is not
running.
NOTE: The software is specific to each loader. Replacing the module with the one
from another loader is not garanteed to work. The software number and version for
the main controller program (P-) and diagnostic (D-) is indicated on the diagnostic
center startup page at power up.
To reprogram the main controller, you will need the programming cable TLD#054496 and if your computer is not equipped with a serial
port DB-9 connector, you will need also an USB to RS232 adapter. Not all converter works so we recommend that you buy the converter
TLD#7933209.
It is possible to reprogram the main controller using a software called “Downloader”. The program looks like the picture below.
1.1) Connect the PC to the connector shown on the picture below in the main box door.
Make sure that the lamp in the main box is ON as wire 0324 from the main controller is connected to that lamp. This tells to the main
controller that it can be programmed. You will get a communication error if wire 0324 is not powered.
1.3) Select the COM port that you are using on your computer to download to the PLC and then click OK. You could have different COM
port than what is shown below. Contact your technical support to know that is the COM port you are using for your computer.
The Bits per Second parameter is not really important as the software will look for the correct setting automatically.
Depending on the operating system installed on your computer, the communication might not work. For example, if you use Chinese
Windows version, the following setting must be applied.
Go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Option -> Advanced -> Language for Non-unicode programs -> English (United States) ->
Apply
All the files on the web site do not contain any parameters (elevator speed, valve thresholds, etc…). However, if a controller is replaced on
a unit and that this controller can still communicate with a PC, it is possible to retrieve the parameters and the program from the “old”
controller in order to program the new one and maintain original parameters.
If the program is loaded without the parameters, the loader must be setup according to chapter 2.1.
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE ON THIS PAGE ONLY IF YOU WANT TO UPLOAD THE SOFTWARE FROM THE MAIN CONTROLLER
TO YOUR COMPUTER. IF NOT SKIP THIS PAGE.
2.1) Click on the button Upload to transfer the program from the controller to your PC.
2.2) Enter the file name and location of the file that will be saved on your computer.
2.3) Click on “Save” and the program inside the controller will be transferred to your PC.
All the files on the web site do not contain any parameters (elevator speed, valve thresholds, etc…). However, if a controller is replaced on
a unit and that this controller can still communicate with a PC, it is possible to retrieve the parameters and the program from the “old”
controller in order to program the new one and not change any parameters.
3.2) Click on the button “Download” and a new window will be opened to select the file that you want to download (either a new version or
the program that you uploaded from another controller). The box “File of type” must be “H86 Files (*.H86)”. The files can be downloaded
from the TLD web site for each equipement.
3.3) Click on the button Run when the download is finished to start the program. At the same time, the green light on the controller will
start to flash to indicate that it is running.
4.2) This will send a reset command to the controller. This screen will appear.
Turn OFF the power to the controller for 5 seconds, and then turn it back ON. Click on OK to close the window. The diagnostic light on
the controller should be flashing green fast (5 Hz).
The operating system and application software must then be reloaded. Go back to the beginning of this section.
• Attach 0 to 350 bar / 0 to 5000 psi pressure gauge to test port of chassis manifold. Check secondary pressures, as
described in the procedure, from this point
Pump are factory set. If you replace a new pump, usually no adjustement are are needed.
• Bleed air from pump.
• Disconnect electric lines to fuel shut-off solenoid (on engine) and pump enable (EP-10) on pump manifold). Engage
starter for 10 second intervals with 10 second rest periods — do this 6 times. System pressure at pump should be
between 17,2 and 41,4 bar / 250 and 600 psi during the last cranking. Turn the ignition (starter) switch off .
• Reconnect electric lines to fuel shut-off solenoid. Check hydraulic fluid level and refill, as required. Start engine. Check
system pressure (should be less than 41,4 bar / 600 psi).
NOTE: For newer loaders featuring adjustable differential on pump – **REFER TO
CHAP 2 SECTION 1 item IV.B for pump adjustment screws location on different
models. If system pressure is more than 41,4 bar / 600 psi at this point, loosen jam
nut on adjustable differential. Turn clockwise until system pressure is 31 to 34,5 bar /
450 to 500 psi at idle. Tighten jam nut and paint exposed threads to mark correct
setting.
• Stop Engine. Remove bleeder vent on pump and let air escape, until bubbles stop, then replace screw plug.
• Reconnect pump enable (EP-10). Start engine, idle for 1 minute. Turn pressure screw on pump clockwise until system
pressure reaches 103,5 bar / 1500 psi.
• Let loader idle for a few more minutes, checking for leaks around the pump and manifold.
Next step is the pressure adjustments, **REFER TO CHAP 2 SECTION 1 item IV.B for pump adjustment screws

• Turn pump pressure cutoff screw** (on pump) clockwise until system pressure (pump test port reading) read 214 bar /
4100 psi.
• Loosen jam nut on system relief valve (bottom of pump manifold). Turn relief screw clockwise until it no longer turns.
Turn adjustment screw* on relief valve counterclockwise (bottom of pump manifold), until system pressure drop to 327
bar / 4750 psi. Tighten jam nut and paint exposed threads to mark setting
• Turn pump pressure cutoff screw* clockwise until system pressure = 317 bar / 4500 psi. Tighten jam nut and paint

• Loosen jam nut on secondary pressure reducing valve (big block manifold). Turn pressure reducing valve adjustment
screw* counterclockwise until secondary pressure (read pressure at chassis or bridge manifold test port) = 210 bar /
3000 psi. Tighten jam nut and paint exposed threads to mark setting.
• Proceed to the next section of this procedure: Setting Drive Pressures (next page).
• Attach pressure gauge (0 to 70 bar / 0 to 1000 psi) to charge pressure test port (stamped C.P.) on the rear of the Big
Block manifold (see figure below).

• Loosen jam nut on large pressure reducing valve (see figure above).
• Make sure both red emergency stop buttons are pulled out and start engine. Put loader in load mode (stabilizers down).
With the help of an assistant, go to the main electric box and select on the diagnostic center F1 - OPERATION and
then LOW DEMAND function.
• Loosen jam nut on torque screw** (horsepower limiter) on the pump. Have a helper operate the elevator lift up, while
turning torque screw clockwise until engine just starts to bog down. Several trials might be needed to find proper HP
limiter adjustment. New pumps are factory adjusted and should not require adjustments.
NOTE: This can be done at ground level (instead of using load panel on operator’s
console) by using the F1-OPERATION menu on the Diagnostic Center. (Use function
Elevator lift slow or fast, then use the up/down arrow keys to raise or lower the
elevator).
• Back out torque screw (on pump) slightly (counterclockwise) from the point where engine just begins to bog while lifting
a load on the elevator. Tighten jam nut and paint exposed threads to mark correct setting.
**REFER TO CHAP 2 SECTION 1 item IV.B for pump adjustment screws location on different models.
• Lower elevator and remove/transfer test loads from platform. Turn ignition (starter) switch off.
• Remove all gauges and cap test ports securely.
• Check oil level in hydraulic tank with platforms fully down and refill, as required.
• Adjust speed for engine RPM, LOW RPM and HIGH RPM, as described in section 2 of this chapter. Adjust speed for
bridge lift and/or elevator lift speed, as required. Set conveyor speeds for bridge and elevator, as described in Chapter
2, using Diagnostic Center.
Braking/decelerating distance
If needed Adjust braking/decelerating valves as per recommendation - see chapter 2 section VII. Several trials might
be needed to properly adjust deceleration distances. Do not readjust unless valves are to replace old ones
• The front axle is equipped with a parking brake. 27.6 bar (400 psi) pressure is required to unlock it. To
setup this pressure, refer to the following procedure:
• Attach pressure gauge (0 to 70 bar / 0 to 1000 psi) to test port TP6 near the front right of the Big Block
manifold (see figure below).
• The parking brake must be engaged to read the pressure on TP6 (Connector LED OFF).
• Adjust pressure reducing to 27.6 bar (400 psi) taking great care to never go over 30 bar (435 psi) which
could damage the axle.
• Tighten jam nut and paint exposed threads to mark correct setting.
The bridge auto-level option adjusts the bridge height automatically to follow aircraft door heigh changes.
The enable switch is located on the switch module on the cargo console as shown on the picture below.
Auto-Level Enable
Auto-Level Disable
When it is possible to activate the auto-level (condition is bridge not at frame), the switch lower LED will be ON. To
enable the function, press the upper button.
There are operations not allowed for security. The bridge is not allowed to move more than 2 in (5 cm) “by itself”.
Also, if the wheel is turning too fast, it will call an error. When a problem occurs, the lower LED of the switch
flashes.
Troubleshooting:
The first thing to look if the autolevel is not working is the INPUTS menu of section F2-DIAGNOSTIC to check the
functionality of the rotary sensor mounted on the auto-level wheel.
Autolevel sensor value 'RFT-6 AUTOLEVEL S1' is in the range 250 to 4750.
Autolevel sensor value 'RFT-6 AUTOLEVEL S2' is in the range 4750 to 250 (inverted signal).
Spring clip
Magnet
Sensor
If you pull on the spring clip to test the auto-level, turn it very slowly (as there is a filter function to slow down the
signal received) to avoid bouncing up and down as the bridge platform moves due to cargo movements.
Start engine and put loader in LOAD mode. Raise bridge to a height to allow some movement and to use
1 a forklift at the front to “manipulate” the clip and cable by +/- 1 cm or 0.25”.
Bring loader and forklift “nose-to-nose” with fork directly over auto-level box, clip cable to fork, and turn
2 ON auto-level system. Check for green LED on auto-level switch on the console.
3 Check that bridge flat-top chains or PDUs move in forward and reverse directions.
Lift fork by 0.5” (12mm) and stop (in order to pull the cable up). The auto-level system should adjust
bridge height. Repeat this, up and down, nine times. Note that movement of the cable does NOT cause
4 instant movement of bridge height. Note that the distance between the fork and the bridge should stay
constant (±0.25", 6mm) after every adjustment.
Now lift the fork by 6 inches (15 cm) to make sure auto-level system goes into safety shutdown mode.
5 Test bridge flat-top chains or PDUs to make sure they do NOT move in forward. Check for flashing LED
on auto-level switch on the console.
Now lower fork by 6 inches (15 cm) to make sure auto-level system goes into safety shutdown mode.
7 Test bridge flat-top chains or PDUs to make sure they do NOT move in forward. Check for flashing LED
on auto-level switch on the console.
Lift fork very, very slowly 2 inches (5 cm). This way, the safety shutdown is triggered because of the
timedown, but not because of the distance. Again, make sure auto-level system goes into safety
9 shutdown mode. Test bridge flat-top chains or PDUs to make sure they do NOT move in forward. Check
for flashing red LED on auto-level placard on the console.
If everything checks out, auto-level system is in correct operating condition. Turn system OFF, lower
10 bridge, turn engine off. End of procedure.
To maintain correct operation of dynamic braking (hydrostatic pressure required to stop the loader when foot is
lifted from accelerator pedal, but NOT using brake pedal/service brakes). NOTE: In general, TLD policy is to
recommend NOT tampering with factory adjustment of counterbalance valves which control dynamic braking.
However, factory seal MAY be broken, and if this is the case, this procedure explains the correct adjustment.
NOTE: If dynamic braking is too aggressive, it could be a safety hazard when driving in the
standing position. If dynamic braking is not aggressive enough, it may lead to premature
wearing of the service brake shoes and/or aircraft damage.
Description: Check to see if factory seal has been broken on counterbalance valves controlling dynamic braking. If
seal is unbroken, no adjustment is necessary – procedure is complete. If factory has been broken and
adjustment is necessary, check stopping distance for dynamic braking, both forward and reverse. Adjust
counterbalance valve(s) as required.
1. On a clear, dry stretch of pavement where it will be possible to drive
loader full speed for at least 20 m (65 ft), set a marker or flag at the
halfway point.
2. With stabilizers up and both emergency stop buttons pulled out, start
engine and drive loader for approximately 5 – 10 minutes to “warm up”
drive circuit / hydraulic fluid. IF you have an 838 unit, make sure it is
set to low speed (turtle mode)
3. Now go to one end of the “driving track” and step on the accelerator to
bring the loader up to full speed in the forward drive mode, before
reaching the “halfway flag.”
4. When front wheels (or drive console) pass by this halfway point, lift
foot from accelerator pedal.
NOTE: DO NOT PRESS BRAKE PEDAL.
5. After unit comes to a full stop under dynamic braking, put stabilizers down to secure this position and measure
the stopping distance from halfway marker to front wheels. Stopping distance should be 4.5m to 6m (15ft to 20ft)
for an 838 loader in low speed and 6m to 9m (20ft to 30ft) for a 929**. There is one CB valve for FWD movement
and another one for the REV movement (located on each side of the big block manifold),If not, adjustment
procedure, starting with step #6 below. Try to set speed to the middle of this interval, as much as possible playing
with the Counterbalance valve adjustment, see section Pump Setup Procedure for valve location.
6. With stabilizers down, operate bridge lift up until it is possible to install safety supports. Stop engine and push
emergency stop button for safety.
7. Locate counterbalance valves for dynamic braking. Look on Big Block manifold. The manifold is inscribed with
markings to show “forward” and “reverse.” see section Pump Setup Procedure for valve location.
8. If stopping distance is TOO SHORT (dynamic braking too aggressive), turn C/B valve CLOCKWISE. If stopping
distance is TOO FAR (dynamic braking is not aggressive enough), turn C/B valve COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Retest
braking distance and readjust, if necessary, until dynamic braking is within recommended distances in step #5.
9. Repeat steps #3 through #5 for REVERSE drive mode – and also adjust steps #6 through #8, if necessary.
10. If everything checks out, procedure is complete. Make sure join nut are secured on C/B valve.
