1 New Zealand: 85 m3 maximum measurement per bin and 0.5 m3 minimum tradable quantity for trade verified/certified systems as approved by Trading Standards (Pattern Approval Certificate number 1556).
Australia: 35 m3 maximum measurement per tray and 1 m3 minimum tradable quantity for trade verified/certified systems as approved by NMI (Pattern Approval Certificate number 13/1/15).
USA, Canada and International: Load Volume Scanners will be provided as monitoring systems and do not currently have any specific approvals by weights and measures authorities for trade use (where financial transactions take place). However, LVS units perform to the same level of accuracy as trade approved systems operated in New Zealand and Australia.
2 0.05 m3 below 2.5 m3 measured volume for New Zealand only.
3 New Zealand: 6 kmph maximum for trade verified/certified systems as approved by Trading Standards (Pattern Approval Certificate number 1556).
Australia: 6 kmph maximum for trade verified/certified systems as approved by NMI (Pattern Approval Certificate number 13/1/15).
4 Europe: in accordance with CE certification, the following CE certified optional components are approved to be powered from the system power box (5A circuit):
- Thermal POS printer for ticket printing
- Cellular router for internet connectivity when wired internet not available on site.
Wireless (WiFi) Access Point for wireless network connectivity when wired network not available.
