General Information / Important Notes

The PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) and control system iFLEX5 has been designed to provide the crane operator with the essential information required to enable the machine to be used within its design parameters. Using various sensing devices, the Load Moment Indicator monitors various crane functions and provides the operator with a continuous reading of the crane's capacity. The readings continuously change as the crane moves through the motions needed to make the lift.

If non permitted conditions are approached, the Load Moment Indicator will warn the operator by sounding an audible alarm, lighting a warning light and locking out those functions that may aggravate the crane's condition.

The PAT iFLEX5 system provides a graphical user surface whose functionality and layout is determined by the crane manufacturer. The selection of the programmed functions is essentially simplified by the use of symbols.

The Load Moment Indicator and Control system consists of an iFLEX5 system consisting of two units, an operator’s console IK 1368 CAN and different sensors for the acquisition of measuring values.

The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the contents of this manual without notice. Hirschmann offers no guarantee whatsoever for this material, including guarantees with reference to commercial availability and suitability for particular applications. Hirschmann shall not be liable for errors contained herein or for identical or consequential damages in connection with the furnishing, performance, or use of this manual.

General Information / Important Notes

The LMI is an operating aid to warn the crane operator of an imminent overload or proximity of the hook block to the boom head, in order to avoid possible damage to property or personal injury.

The system cannot be, and is not intended to be, a substitute for good judgement or experience on the part of the crane operator, or for the application of recognised, safe working methods when using cranes.

ATTENTION

The crane operator is not released from his obligation to operate the crane safely. He must ensure that he fully understands and follows the notes and instructions displayed.

Before beginning work with the crane, the crane operator must carefully read and understand the entire Manual to ensure that he is aware of the operation and limitations of the LMI.

Proper functioning depends on due daily inspection and compliance with the operating instructions listed in this Manual. Please read section 5 of this Manual.

The LMI can only offer the crane operator help if it is correctly adjusted, and the correct load chart and the correct operating code have been selected for the particular rig arrangement. To avoid damage to property and serious or even fatal injuries to persons, it is essential to ensure that the LMI is correctly adjusted before beginning crane work.

This system can be equipped with an external key-operated switch which is located on the side of the housing of the central unit. This key-actuated switch bridges (overrides) the control lever's shut-off function by the LMI. This switch may only be actuated in emergencies by authorized personnel. Non-compliance with these instructions may lead to damage to property and serious or even fatal injuries to persons.

System description

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Load Moment Indicator and Control system for the FA 035 / ATF110G-5 consists of an iFLEX5 system consisting of two central units, an operator’s console IK 1368 CAN and different sensors for the acquisition of measuring values.



5

System description

The system works according to the principle of variance comparison. The actual value which is obtained by pressure measurement, is compared with the set values stored in the central data memory, and evaluated by the microprocessor. When the limit values are reached, an overload warning signal is triggered on the display and control console. At the same time, any crane movements that could increase the load are disabled.

The crane-related data specified by the manufacture, such as load charts, boom weights, centres of gravity and dimensions, are stored in memory chips in the central data memory. These data form the reference values for calculating the operating states.

In some cases, the system function is controlled by automatic components such as boom length and angle transmitters, and in other cases by manual devices, such as keys on the display and control console.

The boom angle and the boom length are detected by a length-angle transmitter mounted on the boom. The crane load is measured using pressure sensors mounted on the piston and rod sides of the boom elevation cylinder.



6

System description

After the system is switched ON, it starts with an automatic test run of the LMI system, the displays and control elements as well as of the acoustic alarm.

During the test run, the start screen is displayed:

After the system has passed through the system test without errors, the crane data display appears.

In case of malfunction, an appropriate error code "E##" appears on the data display (1). (In this context, refer also to chapter 7.)

The console has two functions:

• Inputs into the LMI system by the crane operator (operation modes, numbers of rope falls)

• Indication of important data and information

• Information for service purpose

The control console is located in the crane cabin in the crane operator's field of vision. To improve identification of the displays and control elements, these are backlit during operation. The console comprises various control elements as well as a multifunctional LC display; these are described in detail in chapter 3.3

Operation

The data display (1) is a backlit graphic LC display which shows, depending on the operating state, the required information, such as load values, geometric and crane data, symbols etc. During night work, the indication appears inverted to prevent dazzling the crane operator.

Examples for possible indications:

Set-up menu (operation mode) Normal operation display Programming slewing angle

Service menu analog inputs II Tele control indicator Contrast setting menu

A detailed description of the symbols and indicators is given in chapters 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 6. of this manual.



9

Operation

(2) Utilization bar graph

This utilization bar graph display indicates how much of the loader‘s rated capacity is being used. (utilization)

As the rated capacity of the loader changes as it is moved through its various motions, the utilization display will constantly change as well.

The bar graph is marked with different colors:

• green: and safe section (0%...90% of rated cap.)

• yellow: prewarning section (90%...100% of rated cap.)

• red: overload section (>100% of safe working load)

(3) Function keys F1...F5

These keys can be used to select certain functions from among menu symbols with selection options. The symbols above the keys identify the function in question.

The meaning of the various symbols is shown in chapters 3.4 to

3.6 and in chapter 6.

(4) "LMI override" warning lamp

This red warning lamp goes on if the LMI shut-off feature has been bridged manually.

(5) "Anti-Two Block switch (A2B) override" warning lamp

This red warning lamp goes on if the hoist limit switch shut-off feature has been bridged manually.



10

Operation

(6) "A2B" warning lamp

This red warning lamp goes on if the contacts of the hoist limit switch open, i.e. a hoist limit state has occurred. The acoustical alarm sounds, while crane movements increasing the load moment are stopped.

NOTE

A hoist limit state occurs if the hook block touches the boom head. In this case, there is a risk of the winch rope breaking and the load falling. The cause of the hoist limit state may be that the load has been drawn against the boom head or that the boom has been extended or lowered without the corresponding length of winch rope having been unwound.

(7) "Pre-warning load moment" warning lamp

This yellow pre-warning lamp goes on if the load of the crane amounts to more than 90 % of the rated lifting capacity in question, thus indicating an imminent overload situation.

(The warning light will

flash

, if the upper main boom angle limit is exceeded (if operation mode is "on rubbers")

ATTENTION

This means that the crane operator is only allowed to continue crane work with extreme caution!



11

Operation

(8) "Overload" warning lamp

This red overload warning lamp informs the crane operator that an overload condition has occurred.

It goes on when the load imposed on the crane has reached 100

% of the maximum lifting capacity which is admissible for the current operating state. The acoustical alarm will sound. At the same time, the crane movements increasing the load moment are stopped.

(9) Sensor "display contrast"

Dependent to the surrounding light conditions this sensor controls the brightness of the LC display and the buttons.

(10-11) "Contrast setting" tip switchs

(12) "Horn off" key

With this buttons the display contrast can be adjusted according to the environmental light conditions. By pressing both buttons simultaneousely the preset contrast is set. The contrast setting also can set via the contrast setting menu (chapter 4.3)

Operation of this push-button serves to briefly suppress the acoustical alarm (soonest after 5 s alarm duration). The alarm sounds again, if the reason for which the alarm has been triggered is still present.

This key selects system information menu (refer to chapter 6.1)



12

Operation

(15) "Select" key (SEL)

These numerical keys are used for numerical inputs.

The keys and have no function !

The key "SEL" is used to call up the set-up menu for setting the mode codes, the number of rope. Upon actuation, the hoist limit

switch warning lamp (7) and the overload warning lamp (8) go on, and the LMI shut-off feature is activated.

The correct setting of the LMI for the rig arrangement in question is extremely important for correct functioning of the system and the crane. Thus, mode codes and the number of rope falls may only be set by crane operators who are absolutely familiar with load charts, utilization and operation of the system.

The procedure for entering the mode code, the number of rope falls and the speed preselection for the master controllers is described in chapter 4.



13

Operation

(16) "Limits" key (LIM)

Key used to program limitations of geometry.

(refer to chapter 4.5)

(17) "Tare" key (TARE)

The "TARE" key serves to issue the net load to the actual load

indicator "ACT" (refer to chapter 3.4). The net load is the actual load less load lifting equipment and hook block. The "TARE" key must be pushed before hoisting operation is commenced.

After the key has been actuated, it lights up and the actual load indication is set to zero (tared). After the load has been lifted, the net load (payload) appears in the actual load indicator.

As soon as the working radius is changed (due to changes of the angle or radius), the indicator displays again the actual load, and the taring function is finished.

(18) "Control" key (CTRL)

NOTE

The actual load comprises the hook block, the winch rope and all load handling devices. The net load is the load currently fixed to the hook, without load handling device.

Incorrect indications may be due to ambient influences, e.g. the wind acting on a boom or the load.

The "CTRL" key serves to select the special functions. The following special functions can be selected:

• Display contrast setting (see chapter 4.3).



14

Operation

Acoustical alarm

(without illustration)

The acoustical alarm sounds in the following cases:

System test, overload condition, approaching a hoist limit state (if hoist limit switch function is detected by the LMI), malfunction of

LMI system, and in case of operating errors detected by the system.

The acoustical alarm can be suppressed briefly via the key (12)

"Alarm switch" soonest after 5 s alarm duration. The alarm sounds again, if the reason for which the alarm has been triggered is still present.

Programming

4. PROGRAMMING

After switching ON the system, the operating parameters must first be entered according to the actual rig arrangement of the crane. Here, it is essential that the crane operator's entries are made correctly!

This procedure consists of two parts:

• Programming the LMI according to the crane's rig arrangement, using the correct operating code for the selected load chart (refer to chapter 4.1).

• Input of the rope fall arrangement (rope reeving) according to the actual number of rope falls used

(refer to chapter 4.2).

Wrong input into the LMI of the operating code and the number of rope falls used can result in material damage and/or in serious, even fatal injury to persons.

The correct input of the operating code and the number of rope falls is essential for proper functioning of the system and the crane.

Consequently, these entries may only be performed by crane operators who are absolutely familiar with load charts and the application and control of the LMI.



20

Programming

4.1 Programming the required mode

Any modification of the crane structure requires a setup of the LMI system by input of a corresponding operation mode code. The setup procedure can only be started during normal operation display.

5. CHECKS BEFORE START-UP

Before crane work is commenced, the following electrical connections must be checked to ensure that the LMI system is correctly wired for the current crane rig arrangement.

• Cranes with main hoisting gear only

If the crane is working with the main boom, i.e. without boom extension or fly jib, no additional connections are required. However, it is important to ensure that the hoist limit switch weight is correctly mounted on the main boom winch rope. With an even number of rope falls, the hoist limit switch weight is mounted at the "dead end" of the winch rope. With an odd number of rope falls, the hoist limit switch weight is mounted at the rope fall with the lowest working speed.

If the crane is working with a main boom extension or fly jib, the connecting cable must be installed between the distributor plugbox on the fly jib and the distributor plugbox on the main boom. The weight of the hoist limit switch of the main boom must be removed and then mounted on the hoist limit switch of the boom extension or of the fly jib.

If the hoist limit switch weight is not repositioned, the hoist limit switch system cannot work properly. During work with the boom extension / fly jib, no weights should be mounted on the hoist limit switch of the main boom.

•

Cranes with main and auxiliary hoisting gear

If the main boom extension or fly jib is not used, the override plug must be inserted into the distributor plugbox on the main boom and the hoist limit switch weight must be mounted on the main boom.

If the crane is working with a main boom extension or a fly jib, the connecting cable must be installed between the distributor plugbox on the boom extension or the fly jib and the distributor plugbox on the main boom. Moreover, weights must be mounted to the hoist limit switch of the main boom and the boom extension or the fly jib.

If the boom extension or the fly jib is in working position, and if the main boom is not equipped with a winch rope, then the weight of the hoist limit switch must be removed from the main boom in order to eliminate any risk to persons or damage to the equipment.

After the electrical cable connections have been checked for the rig arrangement in question, the following inspections must also be carried out:

1. Check all cable connections to the system components for damage.

2. Check the hoist limit switches and hoist limit switch weights for ease of movement.



33


3. Check the spring-loaded cable drum for ease of running, drum pre-tension and correct cable winding.

4. Check the mechanical and the electrical installation of the load cells on the fly jib (if fitted).

The checks described below must be carried out carefully in order to prevent damage to the crane and injury to persons. The correct function of the LMI system depends on successful completion of these checks before work is started. If the crane operator cannot see the hook block while approaching the pulley head, he must instruct an assistant (slinger) to help him. The crane operator must be ready to stop the crane immediately if the LMI system does not work correctly, that is, if the red warning lamps do not light up, the acoustic alarm does not sound and crane movements, such as hoisting, telescopic extension and lowering cannot be disabled.

Check the hoist limit switch warning lamp and the acoustic alarm as follows:

1. Manually lift the weight attached to the hoist limit switch. As soon as the weight is lifted, the acoustic alarm should sound and the Hoist limit switch warning lamp should light up.

2. Use the main hoisting gear to pull the hook block slowly against the hoist limit switch weight. As soon as the hook block starts lifting the weight, the acoustic alarm should be actuated, the hoist

limit switch warning lamp should light up and the main hoisting gear should be switched off. Lower the hook block slightly in order to terminate this state.

3. Lower the main boom slowly using the boom elevation in order to bring about a possible hoist limit state. As soon as the hook block starts lifting the weight, the acoustic alarm should sound, the

hoist limit switch warning lamp should light up and the boom elevation should be switched off.

Lower the hook block slightly in order to terminate this state.

4. Slowly extend the telescopic boom in order to bring about a possible hoist limit state. As soon as the hook block starts lifting the weight, the acoustic alarm should sound, the hoist limit switch

warning lamp should light up and the telescoping function should be switched off. Lower the hook block slightly in order to terminate this state.

If the warning lamp and the acoustic alarm do not function as described, and if the crane movements are not disabled, the system is not working properly. The fault must be eliminated before work is started.

5. If the crane is fitted with a main boom extension or a fly jib, the test must be repeated for the hoist limit switch of the boom extension / fly jib.



34


6. Check whether the displayed main boom length corresponds to the actual length.

7. Check whether the displayed angle of the main boom corresponds to the actual angle.

8. Check whether the displayed working radius of the crane corresponds to the actual working radius.

9. Check the load display by lifting a known weight. The accuracy of the load display must be within the given tolerance.

5.1 Operation

After being set correctly, the LMI is ready to operate. The crane operator must therefore be familiar with all the control elements of the LMI and enter the correct commands before the crane can start work. All settings must be tested by lifting a known weight and comparing this with the information displayed by the LMI.

The figures in the load chart contain the weight of the hook block, the load securing ropes and other load lifting devices. This combined weight must be deducted from the figures in the load chart in order to determine the net load to be lifted.

If any of the displays shows a discrepancy between the values displayed and the actual values, please contact your local PAT Service Centre for repair of your system or to have calibration of the LMI tested.

Contacts: www.hirschmann-ac.de

Any modification of the crane structure or changes to the crane require subsequent testing of the LMI's calibration.



35

Service and maintenance

6. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the Automatic Safe Load Indicator (LMI) comprises the inspection of the following:

1. Wiring connecting the various parts of the system. If a cable is damaged, it must be replaced immediately.

2. The insulation of the length transmitter rope or the hoist limit switch cable and of the cable guides.

If the insulation is worn, or the cables guides damaged, these parts should be replaced.

3. Inspection of the hoist limit switch for ease of movement.

4. Inspection of the cable drum for sufficient pre-tension.

5. Inspection of the pressure sensors on the boom elevation cylinders and connection hoses for oil leaks.

Staff who have not been specially trained may only eliminate the faults listed in the error table, but must not replace any defective mechanical parts or cables.

Annex: Important notes for crane operators and crane operating companies

INSTRUCTIONS 1 Shut-off values for boom cranes with variable load ratings depending on variable working radius

The crane shut-off values are determined by us based on the load charts and design drawings specified by the crane manufacturer.

These theoretical shut-off values must be checked by means of tests on the crane with weighed test loads for all modes and at least with the following rig arrangements, depending on the crane design.

• Cranes with fixed boom length in operation:

Smallest, medium and largest radius for shortest, medium and longest boom length, as well as shortest, medium and longest fly jibs for these boom lengths.

• Cranes with boom length variable in operation:

Smallest, medium and largest radius for each length increment as well as for all fly jibs.

INSTRUCTIONS 2 Important notes for the crane operator

The LMI is an operating aid to warn the crane operator of an imminent overload or of the hook block approaching the boom head, in order to avoid possible damage to property or personal injury.

This system cannot be, and is not intended to be, a substitute for good judgement or experience on the part of the crane operator, or for the application of recognised, safe working methods when using cranes. The crane operator is not released from his obligation to operate the crane safely. He must ensure that he fully understands and follows the notes and instructions displayed. Before beginning work with the crane, the crane operator must carefully read and understand the entire Manual to ensure that he is aware of the operation of the

LMI and the crane. Proper functioning depends on due daily inspection of the system and compliance with the operating instructions listed in this Manual.

The system can only offer the crane operator help if the LMI is correctly adjusted, and the correct load chart and the correct operating code have been entered for the particular rig arrangement. To avoid damage to property and serious or even fatal injuries to persons, it is essential to ensure that the LMI is correctly adjusted before beginning crane work.

This system could be equipped with a key-operated switch which is located in the microprocessor central unit. This key-operated switch overrides the LMI's shut-off feature.

The switch may only be actuated in emergencies by authorized personnel. Non-compliance with these instructions may lead to damage to property and serious or even fatal injuries to persons.

INSTRUCTIONS 3 Important notes for the crane operating company

In the Federal Republic of Germany, the design of overload safety devices for cranes is subject to the directives of VDI standard 3570 (VDI = Verein Deutscher Ingenieure - Association of German Engineers). The significance and the limitations of overload safety devices are also pointed out in this directive.

"In the operation of cranes, overload safety devices are intended to prevent accidents and risks to persons, property, the load and the crane as far as possible as a result of overloading. The crane operating company and the crane operator must remember that an overload safety device cannot detect all hazards in good time, and that a malfunction is possible through influences that are not apparent. For this reason, you cannot be released from your obligation to exercise due care and from your responsibility for complying with the operating regulations and the load limits of the crane. Overload safety devices must not be used for standard operation.

They should only react in emergencies. The load rating of the hoisting equipment must not be reduced by an overload safety device."

VDMA Instruction Sheet for Overload Safety Devices (Automatic Safe Load Indicators) for Boom Cranes

According to § 24 of the UVV (provisions for the prevention of accidents) "Boom cranes", the boom crane delivered to you is equipped with an overload safety device (automatic safe load indicator) which switches off the crane's hoisting gear and the boom retracting mechanism when the admissible load moment is exceeded. In order to enable discharging after the overload safety device has reacted, it must still be possible to perform a contrary movement. This means, for example, that it must still be possible to lower the load after the hoisting gear has been switched OFF.

An overload safety device (automatic safe load indicator) is installed to prevent crane use for lifting of loads which endanger its stability. Thus, the overload safety device (automatic safe load indicator) is an emergency switch which, in case of crane overloads, shuts off all movements which might increase the load moment, and thus prevents possible damage or accidents.

In order to enable the overload safety device to fulfil its functions as a safety unit, please pay attention to the following instructions:

1. Overload safety devices (automatic safe load indicators) must not be used for switching off the hoisting gear or the boom retracting mechanism during normal operation. The crane operator has to make sure in all cases before such work that the lifting capacity is not exceeded by the load to be lifted. Loads which exceed the lifting capacity of the crane must not be lifted in spite of the fact that the overload safety device is installed. This device must not be used for weighing purposes, and the crane must not be charged with loads exceeding the individually highest admissible load.

2. Tearing off fixed loads is only admissible if the crane manufacturer has agreed to it, and only with cranes which are specially equipped for this purpose. During such operations, the overload safety device (automatic safe load indicator) must not be used as load measuring equipment for normal operation.

3. The overload safety device installed in the crane must be serviced at regular intervals and checked for safe operation before crane work. According to § 35 of the UVV (Provisions for the Prevention of Accidents) "Boom cranes", crane maintenance work also comprises regular inspections of the overload safety device.

4. In general, the overload safety device is not automatically adjusted to the different modes of operation of the crane.

Therefore the crane operator is obliged to adjust the overload safety device to a different range of lifting capacities or load moments, when the mode of operation of the crane is altered. To this effect, the operating instructions of the manufacturer of the installed overload safety device must be complied with. Safe operation of the machine and crane work free of accidents depend to a large extent on careful compliance with these instructions. An incorrectly set overload safety device, e.g. a device which is set to a high load moment while the outriggers are retracted, is considerably more dangerous than a crane without an overload safety device, as it conveys a feeling of safety to the driver, which is in fact not justified, and which may cause serious accidents.



57


5. The overload safety device (automatic safe load indicator) installed must be adjusted by the crane driver to the different ranges of lifting capacities or load moments, when the crane is adjusted to different modes of operation, such as: a) when the outriggers are extended or retracted (switching over to the high or low load moment) b) when the boom length is changed by:

- manual extending and retracting (telescoping)

- mounting or dismounting intermediate elements; c) when the crane is swung or slewed into the range of the higher or lower stability moment (switching over to the high or low load moment) d) when changing over to a different lifting capacity range by fitting multiple rope falls to the hoisting gear or the boom retracting mechanism.

6. Please note positively that the overload safety device cannot become effective, i.e. the drive assembly cannot be switched off quickly enough when the crane is operated incorrectly. In this case, accidents cannot be precluded completely in spite of the overload safety device being installed. This applies particularly to the following cases:

- the hook or the load lifting equipment is fixed underneath the load;

- excessive time-lag forces are effective;

- loads are dropped into the rope;

- the load is pulled diagonally;

- moving the crane in an area with significant ground slope;

- subsiding subsoil;

- wind load.

7. If an equipment for switching off or overriding the overload safety device (automatic safe load indicator) is installed, it may only be used if particular precautions have been taken, and in the presence of the crane supervisors, e.g. during crane inspections and during the operations intended by the crane manufacturer.

Careful compliance with the provisions comprised in this instruction sheet and in the operating manual of the crane manufacturer is a prerequisite to safe operation of the overload safety device (overload disconnect unit).

Should you have any doubts, please consult the manufacturer's Operating Manual. If it does not provide sufficient information, it will be necessary to contact the company in question.

Unauthorized tampering with the overload safety device's mechanical components will rule out all warranty claims.

INSTRUCTIONS 4 Notes on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in electronic systems taking account of the effect of electromagnetic fields

Electromagnetic fields are having an increasing effect on electronic systems and may lead to malfunctions; to avoid these, we have listed preventive measures in the following, according to the latest state of technology:

1. The preventive measures proceed primarily from the basic idea that the electronic circuits should be shielded from irradiated high frequencies by a closed, low-resistance protective skin against highfrequency interference.

− All components are equipped with metallic outer housings with earthing option;

− only cables with a braided screen are used. The screen must generously cover all connectors and must be of high conductivity;

− coupling of the crane earth and the electronics earth in one single point of the system only.

2. The general precautions listed under Section 1 cannot assure complete protection against electromagnetic fields in all cases, however, since the size and type of effect depend on local conditions.

Examples of such influencing factors are:

− particularly unfavourable arrangement of the aerials in relation to the system,

− very high transmission power,

− consistent compliance with measures of Section 1 not possible due to local conditions,

− long cables,

− coupling of interference into the supply leads.

In unfavourable conditions, one has no choice but to take experimental measures on site, in addition to the preventive measures, while taking account of the principles mentioned in Section 1, for example:

• fitting filters or short-circuiting the interference frequencies using capacitors;

• establishing or separating earth connections;

• using a guarded shield system.

INSTRUCTIONS 5 Notes on industrial safety when repairing display and control consoles

Caution:

Liquid crystal displays contain liquid chemical substances in the display.

Particular caution and care are therefore necessary:

• when operating equipment containing liquid crystal displays

• during storage and transport (risk of breakage !)

• when disposing of unusable or excess liquid crystal displays

Broken Displays !

Possible sources of danger are chemical effects in the event of skin contact with broken liquid crystal displays. In the event of contact, wash the affected skin areas thoroughly with soap. Be particularly careful with open wounds !

INSTRUCTIONS 6 Installation instructions for display and control consoles without closed metallic housing

To avoid radio interference, high-frequency devices and equipment coming under general approval requirements published by the Federal Minister for Post and Telecommunications in his Official Gazette No.

163/1984 as Decree No. 1045/1984 and No. 1046/1984 must comply with the limit values and conditions laid down there.

For display and control consoles without closed metallic housing (dashboard installation version), the conductor screen must therefore be mounted on the dashboard directly in front of the console by means of a bare cable clip.
