KILO System

Installation guide and fault reference

Product info

The KILO System is a lift weighing device built around latest-generation load cells. Its main job is load limitation: it measures the weight on the cell and trips a relay when the load exceeds a programmed threshold. Maximum cabin capacity is 800 kg.

A CAN-bus port lets it show the live weight directly on Movilift serial displays. It comes in three versions — CARGO (sensors under the car), ROPES (sensors on the ropes) and CELL (sensor on the car sling).

Connectors

The KILO control unit provides:

  • 4 USB ports to connect the load-cell sensors
  • Hold signal input (24/100 VDC)
  • Analog output 10 V
  • Power supply 12/24 VDC and negative/ground
  • Relay and buzzer outputs
  • CAN-bus port (1 CAN-L, 2 GND, 3 CAN-H, 4 +12/24 V)
  • 4-digit display with UP / DOWN / OK keys

Programming

The UP, DOWN and OK keys set the parameters. Press UP/DOWN to cycle the menu, OK to select and edit a value.

  • P_CC — full-load threshold (kg) → activates the CMP relay
  • P_SC — overload threshold (kg) → activates the OVL relay
  • P_AU — settable threshold (kg) → activates the AUX relay
  • ZErO — zero adjustment with the empty cabin
  • PESO — sensitivity adjustment with a known weight
  • CONF — relay polarity (+1 CMP N.C., +2 OVL N.C., +4 AUX N.C.) and +8 to enable the CAN-bus port

Calibration

Calibration is done in two steps from the on-board keys.

### 1. Zero 1. Position the empty car halfway up the shaft. 2. Select ZErO and press OK. 3. The display blinks and counts down, then shows PESO.

### 2. Sensitivity (known weight) 1. Place a known weight in the car — at least 50% of capacity — car still mid-shaft. 2. Select PESO, enter the known weight with UP/DOWN and press OK (SAVE).

The display then shows CONF for the relay/CAN configuration.

Relay outputs & thresholds

Three relays and a buzzer signal the load state; all relays can be set normally-open or normally-closed.

  • CMP relay — activated when the full-load threshold (P_CC) is exceeded.
  • OVL relay — activated when the overload threshold (P_SC) is exceeded.
  • AUX relay — activated when the custom threshold (P_AU) is exceeded.
  • Buzzer — transistor output, activated on overload (interface an external relay).

Versions & sensor mounting

Choose the version by where the sensors are fitted:

  • CARGO — sensors under the lift car, stud-anchored to the structure.
  • ROPES — sensors on the ropes; pick the stud size that matches the 6–12 mm rope diameter, fitted on the cabin side.
  • CELL — sensor on the car sling / arch, by traction or by deformation.

Sensor cable length is 3.5 m.

Faults & diagnostics

Err1No sensors detectedWarning

The KILO System does not detect any connected sensors.

Remedy: Check the sensor cables on the USB ports.

Err2No calibration performedWarning

The device has not been calibrated.

Remedy: Run the Zero and PESO calibration.
