MEMORANDUM FOR ALL UNITS MAINTAINING UFBLJ UTC

FROM: 621 CRSS

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ

SUBJECT: Change to UFBLJ

1. As pilot unit for UTC UFBLJ Portable Scales, we have been working on a variety of issues to correct documentation and basis of issue for these important mobility assets. The following information is provided for units to assist in appropriation of the equipment.

2. Specifications: NSN: 3930-01-532-9305 (6 Pack System)

a. Scale must use two fully electronic shear beam load cells. Mechanical or hydraulic load sensing devices are less reliable in out of level conditions and extreme temperatures.

b. Scale must be 3” high to ensure inside tire of dual tire configuration is safely off the ground

c. Scale must have integral ramps providing a slope of no more than 17 degrees to the platform to ensure military vehicles can properly drive on and off the scale.

d. Scale must have at least 12x12 inch platform to ensure military tires properly contact the weighing surface.

e. Scales must be capable of operating continuously from renewable energy as a primary means of power. As a secondary means of power, scales shall operate for up to 300 hours continuously on a full charge from 120/240VAC power sources when access to renewable energy sources is restricted.

f. Scale must not weigh more than 37 lbs. Scales weighing more than this prevent one person from carrying two scales.

g. Scale should have at least a 1 inch LCD digital display with optional backlight for accurate viewing from all angles in any lighting conditions.

h. Scale must have the ability to wirelessly communicate via an encrypted signal with handheld barcode reader. Barcode reader will display axle weight, total weight and CB and interface that data with Military Load Planning Software and DACMS.

i. Scale communication and physical characteristics must be interchangeable as they will be combined with those from different sets to weigh a wide variety of vehicles.

3. Recommended equipment: After extensive experience in the field and at home station, the following scales have proven to fulfill all requirements listed above including durability and operation in austere conditions. These scales are already in extensive use in the CENTCOM theater of operations.

Note: Includes: Six (6) MH300 Solar Powered/Wireless Scales, 1 Wireless Data Acquisition

System with cargo/vehicle measurement software and Military Load Planning Software

Interfaces. Universal charging transformer, Military-approved manual and MIL-SPEC carrying case.

4. NSN 3930-552-7386, NSN 3930-01-532-9298 and NSN 3930-01-532-9303 are the same type of scales although in quantities of 1 single, 2 and 4 ea respectively for replacement or non-standard UTC deployment.
