Probe Display

The main steps to install the display are:

  1. Selecting the display’s location
  2. Installing the mounting plate and fixing the display

Select the installation location

Build a custom bracket (if required)

Fix the display

Connect the cables (Power, OBC and Flowmeter if applicable)

Install the protective cover

Secure the cables

Rotate the drum and make sure the speed is coherent

Add water in the drum using the line with the flowmeter and make sure the display shows the quantity of water added

Selecting the display’s location

Factor in the following considerations when selecting a location for the display:

  1. The display must be easily visible and safe to access by the driver
  2. The surrounding area should not create interference for the signal
  3. The display should not get dirty by concrete or grease
  4. The display should not be exposed too much for incident avoidance

The most common place to install the display is at the back of the truckAll machines used as a means of production on a construction site or at a batch plant. or behind the cabin.

Do not install the display inside a steel box or build a steel protective box around an installed display: this will impair the communication between the probe and display.

Installing the mounting plate and fixing the display

The display comes with a mounting plate which can be welded directly onto the truck. Depending on the truck and selected location, it may be necessary to use additional hardware parts (not included) or build a custom bracket (not included).

After the plate has cooled down from welding, it is recommended to paint the mounting plate to prevent corrosion (Figure 14 b). Use four stainless steel bolts and nuts to secure the display on the mounting plate.

Make sure to use the lock washer to avoid the bolts getting loose by vibration.
