1.General Introduction

The load moment indicator (LMI) has been designed to provide the crane operator with the essential information required to operate the machine within its design parameters.

By various sensing devices, the Load Moment Indicator monitors various crane function and provide the operator with a continuous and ontime reading of the crane’s capacity. The readings continuously change as the crane moves through the motions needed to make the lift.

The LMI provides the operator with information regarding the length and angle of the boom, tip height, working radius, rated load and the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane.

If the crane exceed the limited capacity, the system 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.

2.Warnings

The LMI is an operational aid that warns a crane operator of approaching overload conditions and of over-hoist conditions that could cause damage to equipment and personnel.

The device is not, and shall not, be a substitute for good operator judgment, experience and use of accepted safe crane operating procedures.

The responsibility for the safe crane operation shall remain with the crane operator who shall ensure that all warnings and instructions supplied are fully understood and observed.

Proper functioning depends upon proper daily inspection and observance of the operating instructions set forth in this manual.

Prior to operating the crane, the operator must carefully and thoroughly read and understand the information in this manual to ensure that he knows the operation and limitations of indicator and crane.

Warning:The LMI can only work correctly, if all adjustments have been properly set. For correct adjustment, the operator has to answer thoroughly and correctly all questions asked during the setup procedure in accordance with the real rigging state of the crane. To prevent material damage and serious or even fatal accidents, the correct adjustment of the LMI has to be ensured before starting the crane operation

list1. Component

Pic.1system topology diagram

Thesystem is designed for telescopic boom crane, lattice boom crane and other kind of cranes to measure the load moment of the crane and make a judgment whether the crane is overload or not. This can prevent dangerous operation.

The system is loaded with 16-bit high performance micro-processor which support it to be a strong extended capacity and easy operation system with a compact and friendly interface. It support customized configuration and the LCD display can show the percentage, real weight, limited load ,operation radius, jib length&angle, max. of the hoist height, OM code, reeving, limited angle and error code in both English and Chinese and graphic. The system also support two kinds of install method(inner or external) according to actual requirement.The system has the prelarm function、overload alarm and overload control output function;the system also provide the self-check and error code display function which can help the operator .The working angle limit function support a more reliable working performance even under complex condition. The communication by CANBUS and has the overload memory function(black box).

The currency type sensor enable the system more strong anti-interference ability. The system mainly configured with control center and display. When process with complex cases this system runs faster due to its own configuration(calculation and display by different processor). And you have various choices such as length/angle sensor,A2B switch system, anemometer, pressure sensor and other sensors

( force sensor, pin-axistransducer, compression sensor).All connections by plug which is easy for install and maintenance.

7. Daily Maintenance

7.1 Notice:

The parts of the load moment system have been done accurately adjustment before delivery. So the operator can not remove the crust without professional training. Otherwise, moisture and dust will enter the internal institutions, and can not guarantee the normal work.

Do not cause the excessive vibration to the parts of the load moment, such as host, display and transducer.

The display panel should be wiped with cotton wool.

Do not wash the parts of the load moment with water directly, and our company takes no responsibility for any loss.

7.2 Must Check Option:

Please check the interface of all components and if any damage please replace it or contact the service people.

Check all the cable connection of the system. Damaged cables shall to be replaced immediately.

Check the insulating layer of the length sensor and A2B switch cable and the cable guides. If the insulating layer or the wire inside damaged, you should replace one immediately.

Caution: People that not trained by professional training not allowed to adjust the LMI system and not allowed to replace the components or cable.
