Q: Is the BR 27522-12 compatible with both AC and DC electric lift trucks?
A: The BR 27522-12 is designed for DC (direct current) electric lift truck systems, which are standard on most sit-down forklifts and platform pallet jacks. Verify your equipment voltage and control system type before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a BR 27522-12 discharge meter?
A: A BR 27522-12 typically lasts 3-5 years under normal operating conditions. Lifespan depends on ambient temperature, vibration exposure, and moisture levels. Meters in cold storage or wet environments may have shorter service life.
Q: Can the BR 27522-12 be repaired or must it be replaced?
A: The BR 27522-12 is a sealed instrument and cannot be field-repaired. If the meter fails to display readings or shows erratic values, it must be replaced. Check electrical connections first to rule out wiring issues.
Q: What are common symptoms of a failing BR 27522-12 discharge meter?
A: Common failure indicators include blank or dim display, frozen readings that do not change during operation, erratic fluctuations, or complete loss of power to the gauge. These symptoms typically indicate internal component failure requiring replacement.
