5. SAFETY AND / OR ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS


Components on any machine are subject to wear, deterioration, or damage, which limit
their useful life. When new, all parts have built-in reserve strength against unknown
conditions and reasonable loss of strength due to gradual deterioration. However, if
maintenance and lubrication are neglected, these parts can eventually reach a condition
where they become a safety hazard. Failure to maintain correct adjustments of the various
mechanisms to assure proper performance of the crane can also be a safety hazard.
Hydraulic relief valve settings should never exceed specified pressure without the consent
of the manufacturer. Re-adjustment, when necessary, should be performed by a competent
and qualified person. Since the manufacturer has no direct control over field inspection and
maintenance, safety in this area is the responsibility of the user and his operating personnel.

6. GUIDELINE

6.3 CRANE OPRATING INSTRUCTION

Primary Motion Controls


 This crane is equipped with low pressure, hydraulic remote Control Levers
(Joysticks) mounted in the armrests of the Operator’s chair.
 These controllers are spring loaded to the neutral (center) position and provide
independent, proportional, infinitely variable speed control for all of the primary
crane motions.
 When performing simultaneous operations involving two or more of the primary
motions, the diesel engine should be operated at a constant speed between 1,800
and 2,200 rpm. Individual joysticks should be used to independently control the
speed of the various crane motions.
 The “Left Hand” controller is a dual axis “Joystick” and controls the Swing (slew)
and Boom Hoist (luff) motions.
 The “Right Hand” controller has two independent single axis “Joysticks.” The
inside Control Lever controls the Auxiliary Hoist. The outside Control Lever
controls the Main Hoist.

Swing (slew) Motion


 The Left Hand Joystick is moved to the left of center to “Swing Left”
(counterclockwise), or moved to the right of center to “Swing Right” (clockwise).
 Speed of rotation is proportional to the amount of Control Lever movement from
the center position.
 Start and stop swing motion as slowly and smoothly as possible to avoid possible
damage to equipment or injury to personnel from a wildly swinging load.
 The crane is free to swing or drift when the joystick is in the center position,
provided the swing brake pedal, free slew valve is activated and swing lock lever
are not engaged.

Boom Hoist (Luff) Motion

 The Left Hand Joystick is “pulled” back to Raise the Boom (reduce the radius) or
“pushed” forward to Lower the Boom (increase the radius).
 Boom Hoist motion is always under the control of the hydraulic system and cannot
overrun or freewheel in the lowering mode.
 The speed of movement, in both directions, is proportional to the engine speed and
amount of Control Lever movement from the center position.
 The Boom Hoist brake(s) automatically set and lock the boom in position when the
Control Lever is centered.
 Simultaneous operation of both above motions is accomplished by moving the left
hand joystick diagonally. Speed of operation of both motions is independently
proportional to the displacement of the Control Lever from the center position. For
example, it is possible to raise the boom at maximum speed while the crane swings
very slowly to the left.

Main and Auxiliary Hoist Motions


 The appropriate Right Hand Joystick is “pulled” back to Raise the Main or Whip
Line (take in cable) or “pushed” forward to Lower the Main or Whip Line (pay out
cable).
 Hoist motion is always under the control of the hydraulic system and cannot
overrun or freewheel in the lowering mode.
 The speed of movement, in both directions, is directly proportional to the amount
of Control Lever movement from the center position.
 Hoist brakes automatically set and lock Drums when the joysticks are centered. In
case of a mechanical failure, releasing the controls will set the brakes and stop
drum rotation.

Swing (slew) Brake(s)


 Dynamic braking is accomplished by “Cross Controlling” the Left Hand Joystick.
For example; if the crane is swinging to the left at high speed and the joystick is
then centered, the crane will continue to “coast” to the left. Moving the joystick
away from center to the right will apply a ‘braking torque’ to the crane motion,
hence stopping rotation more quickly.
 The crane and its associated Swing System machinery are protected from damage
during this operation by means of a torque limiting hydraulic valves. These valves
will limit the amount of swing torque available during acceleration and
deceleration of the crane. However, it is strongly recommended that swing motion
should start and stop as slowly and smoothly as possible to avoid possible damage
to equipment or injury to personnel from a wildly swinging load.
 The crane and load can be held in position against the wind by means of the Foot
Pedal Brake (if equipped) or centering of the joystick, when equipped with the
hydrostatic drive. “Cross controlling”, as described above, is the preferred method
for stopping rotation.
 The crane may be locked in position indefinitely by means of the Swing Lock
Brake Lever mounted in the control console. When this lever is in the “Engaged”

position, the crane is locked against rotation. Any attempt to rotate the crane by
means of the swing control lever, while the lock is engaged, will result in the
hydraulic swing motor being stalled against the lock. This is not harmful and will
not damage any portion of the Swing Machinery.

Console Mounted Instruments and Controls


 The “Air Pressure” gauge indicates accessories.
 The “Pilot Circuit Pressure” gauge displays hydraulic pressure in the Control
Circuit.
 The “Swing Motor Pressure” gauge shows hydraulic pressure in the Swing Circuit.
 The “Boom Hoist Pressure” gauge shows hydraulic pressure in the Boom Hoist
Circuit.
 The “Load Hoist Pressure” gauge shows hydraulic pressure in the Main or
Auxiliary hoist circuit depending on which is in use.
 The “Swing Lock” Brake lever is used to engage and release the slew shaft brake.
This lever should be placed in the “engaged” position whenever the operator leaves
the cab. This lever must be placed in the “released” position to rotate the crane.
 The “Hydraulic Controls knob disables the hydraulic controls. The Hydraulic
control should be disengaged when crane operations cease to prevent accidental use
of the main/auxiliary controls and the boom/swing controls. To immobilize the
controls, simply pull up on the Hydraulic Control knob.
 The Hydraulic Gauge denotes the level of hydraulic oil in the reservoir.
 The “Fuel Gauge” shows the amount of diesel available to fuel the prime mover.
 The Upper Wiper control valve is used to start and stop the upper pneumatic
windshield wiper on the upper window (option).
 The Lower Wiper control valve is used to start and stop the lower pneumatic
windshield wiper on the main window.
 When the black “Horn” button is depressed, the horn, mounted below the cab, will
sound.
 The ‘Hyd. Oil Temp.” gauge shows temperature of the hydraulic oil in the suction
pipes.
 The “Water Temp.” gauge displays diesel engine coolant temperature.
 The “Oil Pressure” gauge shows diesel engine lubricating oil pressure.
 The Alarm Reset Control silences the diesel engine low oil pressure alarm. The
latch must be reset immediately after the engine is shut down to prevent the horn
from sounding as oil pressure subsides.
 The green Engine “Start” Button energizes the pneumatic starting motor for the
diesel engine. The button is pressed to start the engine.
 The “Tachometer” indicates diesel engine rpm.
 The “Boom Lock” is used to engage the locking pawl against the ratchet wheel of
the boom hoist drum. The pawl is engaged whenever the “T handle” is pushed in
(cable style), when the knob on the console is turned (pneumatic style) or manual
latch is activated at the hoist. The Boom Lock is designed to lock the boom hoist

drum during maintenance and repairs to the Boom Hoist gearbox and brake
assemblies. DO NOT engage the boom lock while booming down! DO NOT use
the boom lock to test luffing pressure. Damage to the lock, gearbox, and shaft could
occur as well as damage to the boom. Injury to personnel is also possible!
 The Emergency Stop Handle shuts down intake airflow to the diesel engine turbo
charger(s), thus choking the engine. This will render all of the Primary Control
Levers inoperative and lock all Hoist Brakes. The Emergency Stop Handle should
only be used in the event of an emergency. Pull the handle to apply. Reset turbo(s)
after use.
 The Engine Stop Handle is used to stop the diesel engine. When pulled out, this
prevents fuel from flowing to the intake system properly stopping the engine and
disengaging the hydraulic controls. Return handle to its original position after
engine has stopped.

Foot Operated Secondary Controls


• The Right Side Foot Operated Throttle Pedal controls the speed of the diesel engine.
Sealrax recommends an engine speed between 1.800 and 2,200 rpm while performing
simultaneous operation of the primary crane motions.

6.4 CRANE ENGINE


6.4.1 Engine Starting
Starting the Engine
1. Place the manual stop control in the RUN position. Turn the ignition switch to the
RUN position. Advance the throttle in order to supply fuel to the engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the START position in order to crank the engine.
3. Allow the ignition switch to return to the RUN position as soon as the engine
starts.
4. Move the throttle to approximatoly one quarter of the engine rpm.
5. Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes, or allow the engine to idle until
the water temperature indicator begins to rise. The engine should run at low idle
smoothly until speed is gradually increased to high idle. Allow the white smoke to
disperse before proceeding with normal operation. Increase the rpm until the
engine speed reaches 1200 rpm. Return the engine to low idle rpm.
6. Operate the engine at low load until all systems reach operating temperature.
Check the gauges during the warm-up period.
Air Starting
For good life of the air starting motor, the air supply must be free from dirt and water.
1. Open the drain valve and close the drain valve in order to drain condensation and
oil carryover. This drain valve is located on the bottom of the air tank.
2. Check the air supply pressure. The air starting motor requires a minimum of 690
kPa (100 psi) air pressure to operate properly. The maximum air pressure must not
exceed 1550 kPa (225 psi). The normal operating air pressure will be 758 to 965
kPa (110 to 140 psi).

emergency stop button. The engine will not start when the button is locked. Turn the
button clockwise in order to reset.
Manual Stop Procedure
A manual shutoff shaft will override the governor control. The shaft will move the fuel
control linkage to the FUEL OFF position.
Hold the lever at the FUEL OFF position until the engine stops.
Some engines are equipped with an air shutoff. The air shutoff is located between the
aftercooler and the turbocharger. If the engine is equipped with an air shutoff lever, move
the lever to the OFF position.
Note: Individual applications will have different control systems. Ensure that the shutoff
procedures are understood. Use the following general guidelines in order to stop the
engine.
1. Reduce the engine speed (rpm) to low idle. Remove the load.
2. Increase the engine speed (rpm) to no more than one-half of the rated speed (rpm).
Perform this procedure for three to five minutes in order to cool the engine. Reduce
the engine speed (rpm) to low idle.
3. After the cool down period, turn the start switch to the OFF position

Battery Electrolyte Level Check
When the engine is not run for long periods of time or when the engine is run for short
periods, the batteries may not fully recharge. Ensure a full charge in order to help prevent
the battery from freezing. If batteries are properly charged, ammeter reading should be
very near zero.
1. Remove the filler caps. Maintain the electrolyte level to the “FULL’ mark on the
battery.
If the addition of water is necessary, use distilled water. If distilled water is not
available use clean water that is low in minerals. Do not use artificially softened water.
2. Check the condition of the electrolyte with the 1U-7298 Coolant/Battery Tester
(°C) or the 1 U -7297 Coolant/Battery Tester (°F).
3. Keep the batteries clean.
Clean the battery case with one of the following cleaning solutions:
• A mixture of 0.1 L (0.11 qt) of baking soda and 1 L (1 qt) of clean water
• A mixture of 0.1 L (0.11 qt) of ammonia and 1 L (1 qt) of clean water
Thoroughly rinse the battery case with clean water.
Use a fine grade of sandpaper to clean the terminals and the cable clamps. Clean the
items until the surfaces are bright or shiny. DO NOT remove material excessively.

Information to be visualised on the display is transmitted from the computer on a serial


interface line.
The Display Unit consists of three major parts all housed in an enclosure supplied with a
cable entry through a gland and terminal row:
• A printed circuit board including the front plate and electronic components of the
display.
• A push-button panel mounted on the front plate. This panel consists of five push-
buttons
• A connector for the PTU connection mounted on the bottom plate of the
enclosure.
The back-light can be adjusted if one keep the AUX button pressed and use the TEST
button to change the light intensity. Release the buttons between each setting.
The display is mounted on a bracket fitting which enables the unit to be tilted in both the
vertical and horizontal planes. ‘Selica Gel’ should be included inside the enclosure to
prevent condensation of water on the display front glass.
C- Sensors
MIPEG 2000 sensors are used to measure the following:
• Loads in the hoisting lines, main and whip
• Boom inclination relatively to horizontal plane
Load Hoist Sensor
The load hoist primary sensor(s) is of S-band type. This primary sensor is MIG-welded to
a suspension part that also carries a pulley for the load sensing. The sensor measures the
material stress in the suspension part, which is proportional to the line load.
The Output from the sensor is a frequency signal in the range 350-450 Hz. The resolution
is typically 5Hz/tonne for one fall configuration. The sensor has two wire power/signal
connection and is not damaged by short or open circuits.
The primary sensor may be overloaded 5-10 times the nominal working range. This is far
above the yield strength of the material. The primary sensor is temperature compensated.
The primary sensor is sealed hermetically to SEN431614-k (MIL-STD-883A)
To verify correctlundamaged cabling and sensor, a resistance measurement from the
terminal row in the computer cabinet can be done Between disconnected cores, the
resistance shall be approximately 6 ohms (3 ohms in sensor plus cable). There shall be
open circuits between cores and drain, and between drain and chassis earth.
Pin sensors with temperature sensor included have an extra wire for the temperature
resistor. The Ssensor and the temperature sensor use a common ground wire. The
resistance in the temperature sensor shall be approximately 2200 ohms.
The load hoist sensor(s) has to be replaced as a complete unit.
Boom Angle Sensor
The Boom Angle Sensor is an inclinometer mounted in an EX d enclosure at the boom
foot. The inclinometer gives a voltage output in proportion to the boom angle (BAS+).
Voltage supply to the unit is l2Vdc (BAR+). The Inclinometer has a typical resolution of
30-35 mV/degree boom angle. The sensor is not damaged by shorts or open circuits.

The unit is manually set to give approximately 4 Volt dc at zero degree boom angle if the
unit is Installed facing towards the left hand side of the crane. At minimum radius the
voltage will then be approximately 7 Volts.
If the unit is installed facing towards the right hand side of the crane, It should manually
be set to give approximately 7 Vdc at zero degree boom angle At minimum radius the
voltage would then be approximately 4 Volts.
The output from the sensor can be read by means of a PTU function.
D- Mipeg Aux Display
The Mipeg OLM Dispiay is a microprocessor controlled unit, located in tne driver’s cabin.
Information is presented by use of 20 characters x 4 lines liquid crystal display. There are
four push buttons available on the display front.
The unit has a four two wire powerlsignal connection. Non,nal voltage; 24 Vdc
The display unit is sealed to IP54,
E- Slew Sensor
The slew sensor is used to measure the crane’s slew position. This absolute encoder is
mounted on the crane slew system. The encoder is connected into the Mipeg system via a
DEI (Dual Encoder Interface) module to the Master II card, connector J12.
The absolute encoder has 24 bits resolution:
• 12 bits, 4096 counts per revolution and 12 bits, 4096 revolutions.
• Totally number of counts: 16 millions.
The standard Mipeg system reads number of studs on a pulley wheel or drum. When an
encoder is used, the frequency from the encoder has to be divided by four.
I.E. the number of studs’ has to be set to 1024 * gear ratio in the system.

6.6.3 Operating Instruction

A- Brief Description of MIPEG 2000 Operation

MIPEG 2000 is a computerised crane safety system. It measures load and radius and
indicates safe or hazardous conditions.

It has three main parts; the computer cabinet, the driver’s display unit and the sensors. The
driver’s display unit is located in the crane driver’s cabin.
MIPEG 2000 Interfaces with the crane and prohibits some functions under dangerous
conditions. In addition, alarms are given for loads exceeding the alarm limits of the safe
working load
It is recommended MIPEG 2000 to be constantly powered if possible, even during periods
of time when the crane is not in operation. No warm up time for the system is required, but
the load sensors will need 5-10 minutes after power on to achieve maximum accuracy and
stability
B- Information presented on the Mipeg 2000 display
The outer circular analogue scale shows percentage safe working load (%SWL).
The scale is divided into three parts, coloured:
• green -for the range 0 – 85/95% SWL,
• yellow - for the range 85/95 - 110% SWL, and
• red -for the range >110% SWL.
The top Window shows the Hook Load.
• This load will vary slightly as the amount of rope paid out vanes. It also varies
depending on how the load is lifted: the smoother the lift the less the resultant
fluctuation.
The left Window displays the Crane curve selected.
The right Window shows the Hook Radius.
The lower Window shows the Safe Working Load that is related to:
• operating configuration of the crane
• crane curve selected
• radius of operation.
Push Buttons on the Display :
The PUSH BUTTONS have normally the following functions:
ACK Press this button to reset the Mipeg
Spurious error will be disabled and satisfactory operation will continue.
Pressing this button when an overload will also stop the flashing light on
the display.
TEST Press this button to check the function of the needle and LCD’s.
AUX Press this button to activate the alternative information on the display.
CURVE Press this button to toggle between the different crane curves (sea curves).
AUX+FALLS Pressing these buttons will change the number of falls in the system.
AUX+TEST The back lighting can be adjusted if one keep the AUX button pressed and
use the
TEST button to change the tight intensity. Release the buttons between
each setting.

Alarms :
The visual and audible alarms warn of approaching danger. The WARNING (Yellow)
light on Drivers Display will flash and the buzzer inside the computer cabinet will sound
when the load raised reaches the warning limit at bourn radius, crane curve and operating

configuration of the crane. This means that although a load may have been lifted at a given
radius the alarm may come on as the crane is boomed out beyond that radius and the crane
capacity reduces.
To acknowledge an alarm, press the ACK button; the WARNING light will remain
constantly lit until the overload situation has decreased below the warning threshold.
The ALARM (Red) light on Drivers Display will flash when the load raised reaches the
alarm. When the ACK button is pressed, the ALARM light will remain constantly lit until
the overload situation has decreased below the alarm threshold and the WARNING light
will remain constantly lit until the overload situation has decreased below the warning
threshold
C- Error handling
If a detectable error occurs the MIPEG 2000 clears the operators display, and blinks an
error message ERxx in top window; xx” is two digits identifying the error. Operator
should press ACK on the Display Unit that then resets MIPEG. If it was a spurious error,
satisfactory operation will continue, otherwise call for maintenance.
D- Tare Function :
The zero setting of the hook load may vary due to length of rope payed out or weight of
the slings in use. A tare function has been implemented in the Mipeg 2000 to set the hook
load read-out to zero, prior to lifting operations.
The load read-out may be ‘tared’ by pressing the ‘FALLS’ button once. Another push on
this button will deactivate the tare function,
The tare function will only work below +/- 0.5Tonne/l000Lbs. * number of falls
calculated from the last zero calibration. The tare function will not change the zero
frequency in the system.

1. Calibration of Sensors
The sensors of Mipeg 2000 are carefully checked during instalIation and their initial
calibration constants are semi-permanently kept in the Mipeg 2000 non-volatile memory.
Their output might vary within certain limits due to temperature drift, ageing arid changes

in environmental conditions, If the variation is too large, malfunction may occur, and a
calibration must be performed.
The zero point drift of the load hoist sensor(s), i.e. the deviation from zero on the display
reading with empty hook is considered to be the most important factor to monitor. It must
be kept in mind that the zero point for this sensor(s) has been defined at 45 degrees boom
angle and hook at deck level. Deviation from zero in a no load condition might be caused
by different length of hoisting rope payed out.
The calibration constants could be set up in two different ways:
- Normally one would use calibrated test loads or dynamometers for the force
sensors and crane radius marks on the deck for the inclinometer. The frequency is
read from the sensor y MIPEG. while the actual quantity. i.e. weight or angle, is
keyed in on the Display’s push buttons.
- It is also possible to enter both the frequency and the actual quantity from the
Display’s push buttons. This method is used to enter old calibration constants;
giving calibration values to MIPEG which already are recorded In the calibration
protocol.
A compensation for variation caused by an unlinear load sensor arrangement is included in
the MIPEG system. Calibration point 2 is set by the Display Unit buttons during
calibration, in the same way as point 0 and 1. If the compensation is not required, point 2
should be set to zero.
Cal. point 0: Empty hook / No load
Cal. point 1: 100% load
Cal. point 2: 40-80% of full load
Calibration of Boom Angle Sensor:
Calibration of the boom angle sensor is recommended if the deviation between the real
and the indicated crane radius is greater than one metre.
It is recommended that two permanent calibration points are used, one at minimum radius
using the boom’s end stop, the other point at approximately 30 degrees boom angle, i.e.
87% of maximum radius.
The two points must be marked on the deck as radius in metre.
As Mipeg 2000 always measures boom angle above horizontal, a calibration point at
maximum working radius is not recommended as a small inaccuracy in the radius can
cause a significant inaccuracy in the angle reading. This is because changes in boom angle
In the range 0 to 20 degrees will give a small change in radius of approximately 7%.
The calibration procedure for the boom angle sensor is given as follows:
• Boom out to the outer radius mark on the deck.
• With the hook on this mark, do a calibration of point zero
• Boom in to the inner radius mark on the deck.
• With the hook on this mark, do a calibration of point one similar to point zero.
• Set MIPEG in Online state and check the two calibration points.
• If not Ok, go back to point a) and/or d) and make adjustments of point zero and/or
point one.
• If ok, go Offline and read back the new calibration data.
• Make a record In the calibration protocol.

Calibration of Load Hoist Sensors:


Calibration of the load hoist sensor(s) is recommended if the hook load reading in a no
load condition, i.e. boom angle at 45 degrees and hook at deck level, is outside the
following limits:
Whip line: +/- 1Tonne/2000Lbs. (Optional)
Main line, Plural Falls: +/- 2Tonnes/4000Lbs.
Calibration requires calibrated Lest loads or a calibrated dynamometer to measure the test
loads.
The calibration procedure for the load hoist sensor(s) is as follows:
• Boom in/out to the radius that gives a boom angle
• Lower the empty hook to just above deck level.
• Type in zero as hook load.
• Put on the test load and hoist It just above the deck level.
• Do a calibration of point one similar to point zero.
• Go back online and check the two calibration points.
Test with approximately 50% of SWL and verify if the Mipeg readout is acceptable. If not
calibration point 2 should be activated.
• Do a calibration of point two as above.
• Repeat the load test.
• If the calibration is acceptable without point 2, the frequency and value for point 2
should be set to zero.

2. Checking of Crane Operation Inhibit Relays


Checking of the crane operation rihibit relays are recommended to be performed by the
crane supervisor every third month.
To test the overload outputs, one needs a hook load sufficient to create an oveiload
condition In order to use a smallest possible load, one can set MIPEG in the highest sea
condition Pick a load size according to the crane curves. With this load available, the
check are done in the following steps:
• Lift the load off the ground.
• While watching the %SWL readings on the driver’s display, boom out until it
reaches the warning limit. The yellow light should be activated, Boom out until It
reaches the alarm limit, The red light and the relay output(s) should now be
activated.
• Boom in and put the load down.
In addition to this, the output relays may be tested as follows:
MIPEG Nonoc,erational
Turn MIPEG power off. The horn and overload relays should be activated.
MIPEG Error
Simulate an error condition on MIPEG. The horn and overload relays should now be
activated.
3. Checking Crane Curves
The tables of safe working loads (SWL) are permanently stored in the Mipeg 2000
memory and are called crane curves. These are thoroughly tested during the

commissioning of the crane One should therefore not expect any problems with the crane
curves during operation, but it is recommended that the crane supervisor checks the crane
curves installed in Mipeg 2000 against the load- radius tables available in the crane cabin
twice a year.
The crane curve checking is done in the following steps:
• With no load in the hook, hoist the boom to top position.
• Set number of falls to the lowest implemented value.
• Set curve to the lowest implemented value.
• While reading radius and SWL from driver’s display and comparing the readings
with the loadradius
tables, lower the boom to maximum radius.
• Change the curve to next lowest value and perform point d) while hoisting the
boom to top position.
• Go through all crane curves for this number of falls, then change to next number
of falls and go through all curves, and so on until all combinations are checked.
• If possibilities for more boom lengths are implemented, change to next boom
length, and repeat.
• After the checking of the crane curves is finished, set the parameter values for
boom length, number of falls and curve back to the correct values.
C- Unscheduled Maintenance
1. Built In Test Equipment.
The computer Will start to execute once the logic supply (5V) reaches it’s working level
after power Is turned on to the system
If the bus or timer checks fails, the program will signalise the fault condition and indicate
an error message on the display. If all checks are passed the full system software is
initialised and starts it’s normal execution.
Different checks arp continuously performed during normal system execution:
• Sensor data limit checks
• Processing data evaluation
• Processing time control (swatch dog” function)
• Evaluation of the crane’s parameter set
These tasks are all contained in the software package called the Online BIT-functions, If
any of the checks fail this will lead to an immediate shut down of the system by use of the
normal error exit and indication.
2. Faults Indicated on Driver’s Display
Fault recognised by the Mipeg 2000 system during runtime, will be indicated on the
driver’s display by a flashing light in the WARNING and ALARM lamps and an error
code in the upper window The horn will blow for 10 seconds and overload alarm will be
activated.
When the crane driver acknowledges the fault, the fault indications on the driver’s display
will disappear and the overload function will be deactivated. If. however, the fault is of a
permanent nature, the same indications will appear over again.
The fault may of course be located in the computer or the cabling to the display may be
damaged both of which will display a normal error indication.

The STANDARD HORIZON VLH-3000 is a marine Loud Hailer that operates as a


multifunction unit. It has three modes:
• Hail/ListenBack
• Intercom
• Automatic Signauing
In the Hail/Listen-Back mode, the Loud Hailer can send amplified audio signals to a PA
horn and then listen bad for signals coming in from the PA horn.
In the Intercom mode, the Load Hailer can have private conversations with up to two
MLS-300i intercom stations.
In the Automatic Signaling mode, the Loud Hailer can send different kinds of signals used
mostly to alert nearby vessels to the presence and appcoximate position, and to indicate
the vessels status or maneuverability hmitation.

Hi Cool - for quick cooling.
Med Cool - to maintain a desired temperature.
Lo Cool - when demand is low.
Sleep Setting - for night time use, or when demand is low.
Fan Only - will circulate air in the room without the compressor coming on.
This setting can also be used with the EXHAUST air setting to remove stale air or smoke
from the room; or it can be used with the FRESH AIR setting to bring outside air into the
room. This is especially useful in the spring and fall when cooling may not be necessary.
The FRESH AIR and EXHAUST controls are in the upper air discharge area. The center
position of this control is the normal, or closed position, which recirculates air for
maximum performance in the cooling mode.
Temperature control
This dial is the thermostat. Turn it clockwise for cooler temperature and counterclockwise
for warmer.
Money Saver® switch
This rocker switch can be depressed to either Yes or No. The Yes position provide the
most economical operation. Both the fan and compressor will cycle on and off together,
maintaining the selected temperature at a more constant level and reducing the humidity
more efficiently. This control will only operate when the unit is in a Cool mode. in the No
position, the fan will run constantly as long as the unit is in the cooling mode.

6.10 Calibration Safe Load Indicator


General information:-

This document refers to two Appendixes located in the project specific Mipeg 2000 Operation
& maintenance Manual.
Appendix G is the crane boom angle versus hook radius relationship. This is required to obtain
the correct boom angle of the crane for boom angle calibration. This document shows the
distance measured from the centre of rotation (centre of the pedestal/kingpost) to the crane
hook which is required to be measured to establish the required boom angle. If this distance is
measured out on the deck and the crane hook is lowered down to this spot, the correct boom
angle/inclination is established. This has to be done if the mechanical angle pendulum is not
fitted to the crane or cannot be trusted.

Appendix F, the Calibration Protocol Form, shows the specific indexes or addresses used for
calibration of the system:-

The boom angle sensor or Inclinometer will always use indexes 1-4.
The whip (aux) line will always use indexes 5-10 (if the crane has a whip/aux winch fitted)
The main line will always start from index 11 onwards;
The lowest combination of falls/parts of line will always use indexes 11- 16.
If the crane can be used in other falls combination, the second lowest fall combination will be
allocated to index 17- 22. The full specification will be stated in Appendix F.

The text OFF in the right hand window in the step-by-step procedure below is an indication
that the MIPEG system is switched to an OFFline mode, accepting calibration.

No changes to the calibration are yet done. Press the green AUX button which “enters” the
value into the system. This is verified by the bottom window displayed value being copied to
the top window (Calibration Value Window)

Press CURVE button once to move to the Next index, Index 20 (If the CURVE button is
kept depressed too long, the index number may scroll through 20 to index 21, 22 ….) Verify
that the Index window shows index 20. To scroll backwards to the previous index number,
use the TARE/FALLS button.

The actual load is now to be programmed by altering the existing calibration value to conform
with the current load seen by the crane hook, eg 30000 LBS. If the Calibration Value is to be
changed, use the ACK button to increase and the TEST button to decrease the value. The
value is changed in the bottom window (New value window)

When the correct value is reached in the bottom window, confirm the value by pressing the
AUX button which “enters” this value into the top window (Calibration Value)

The second calibration point is now completed which has combined the output value from the
sensor to the programmed load seen by the crane hook. This also completes the calibration for
the Main hoist load sensor in the first or lowest capacity reeving . (NOTE 1)

Please go back on line (press the AUX and ACK buttons at the same time) to verify the
correct calibration by lifting known loads.

If the crane can be operated in other #falls/parts of line, index numbers will be referred to in
Appendix F. Each #falls/parts of line requires a calibration. The calibration sequence is the
repeat of the above “Calibration of the Main hoist sensor” procedure, only using other index
numbers.

NOTE 1:- If the third “mid point calibration point” is proven to be required, please refer to the
last page of this procedure.

NOTE 1:

The Mipeg load hoist sensors (Whip and Main hoist) are linear sensors. This means that only
two calibration points are required and the computer uses a straight line as a calibration
relationship. The required steps are already explained in detail in this document.

An additional calibration point, calibration point 2 or a “mid point calibration” is available. If


this is introduced, the computer “creates a best match through three points”, a curve.

If the “mid point calibration point” is to be introduced, the same procedure can be followed as
already described but the following indexes should be used:-

“Mid point” calibration or the calibration point 2

- the whip (aux) line:

Index 9 is the “read output” index from the sensor when the whip line is selected and a “mid
range load” is lifted by the hook. The load value lifted is entered into index 10.

- the main line:

Index 15 is the “read output” index from the sensor when the main line is selected and a “mid
range load” is lifted by the hook. The load value lifted is entered into index 16.

If other combinations on the Main line is used, the used mid point indexes will be 21&22 /
27&28 etc. Please refer to appendix F for the project specific details.

If the mid point or calibration point 2 is to be deleted, the content of the two indexes should
be put to zero by using the ACK or TEST buttons to increase/decrease the values to zero and
enter these into the system.
