1 Overview
Fig. 1: VETTER SmartFork® Flash
The VETTER SmartFork® Flash application on the outside (fig. 1/2) of the fork arms uses
the installed LEDs to increase visibility of the fork arms and therefore improve safety in
day-to-day use. The VETTER SmartFork® Flash application on the inside (Fig. 1/1) of the
fork arms enables insertion depth orientation that can be adapted to the load thanks to
the configurable display of the LED pattern.
This operating manual describes the safe assembly and commissioning of the VETTER
SmartFork® Flash control device as well as customer-specific adjustment via the software
and hardware. The control device has the following key data:
nControl of the SmartFork® Flash LED bands.
n2 independent channels (not more than 60 LEDs per channel), corresponds to the
equipment of two fork arms.
nFunction selection via integrated switches.
nCan be configured via USB.
nSwitching signal feedthrough to the output side.

2.2 Safety instructions
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to disregard for the safety and due diligence obli-
gation
The VETTER SmartFork® Flash application is only an assistance system.
Its use does not in any way replace the general safety and due diligence
obligation during loading, unloading and the transport of goods.
– Prior to commissioning and during use, always ensure that the
VETTER SmartFork® Flash application is working properly.
– Always ensure that the VETTER SmartFork® Flash application has
been configured for the tasks to be carried out.
– Never neglect the general safety and due diligence obligation and
never rely solely on the warning function. If in doubt, actively ensure
that people and obstacles in the danger zone of the industrial truck
give due consideration to the presence of the industrial truck.
– During loading and unloading, always give due consideration to your
own experience when estimating the insertion depth.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from incorrectly executed work on the control device
The faultless function of the VETTER SmartFork® Flash application ulti-
mately depends on the unchanged state of the control device. Inde-
pendent modifications and improper repairs or the use of third-party com-
ponents could lead to damage and a loss of functionality as well as
serious injuries during use. Improper repairs invalidate the guarantee and
the manufacturer’s responsibility for any consequential damage.
– Have the VETTER SmartFork® Flash application replaced by quali-
fied electricians without exception.
– Always use original components.
WARNING!
Danger of burns due to hot surfaces!
Heat is generated in the housing during operation of the control device.
There is a danger of burns when opening the housing
– Never touch the housing during operation or immediately thereafter.
– Prior to touching it, always ensure that the housing has already
cooled down.
