6 Crane Load Calibration
We use “Weight Debugging” to calibrate the load as below

7 Boom Length Calibration

We use “Length Debugging” to calibrate the boom length as below, ”Length
Debugging” need to enter password 666888.

8. Boom Angle Calibration
We use “Angle Debugging” to calibrate the boom angle as below, ”Angle
Debugging” need to enter password 666888
Angle debugging
1st, put boom down to horizontal position
2nd, input 0 for Horizontal
3rd, move the down arrow to Voltage
4th, press pencil icon to get the voltage from angle sensor
5th, press tick to save
Lifting angle debugging
1st, lift boom to maximum angle
2nd, input max. boom angle(normally 80)
3rd, move the down arrow to voltage
4th, press pencil icon to get the voltage from angle sensor
5th, press the down arrow button, to exit from the edit status
6th, press tick to save

9. Normal Settings

Press button in the main interface to enter normal settings as below

第 9 页 共 15 页
Normal settings include: Operation Mode(OM) setting, Reev setting, Torque setting and A/D view

9.1 Operation Mode (OM) Setting

Operation Mode Setting interface as below to choose the crane operation mode(load chart)

9.2 Reev Setting
Reev setting interface as below。

9.3 Torque Setting

Torque Setting interface as below

Torque Setting is to setup the warning load percentage and cut off load
percentage(Max load setting, crane will stop to telescope to longer boom or lower down
the boom angle after reaching cut off load percentage as set above).

9.4 A/D View
A/D View interface as below , A/D View is to check the working status of sensor.

10. Error Code

When system detects a fault, the main display interface will show an error code.

Press button to check detailed explanation related to this error code. For
example, error E01, as shown below.

11. Mute

When system detects a fault, the buzzer will sound an alarm. Press button in the main
interface to close the buzzer until another fault occurs or the fault is removed.

12. Alarm Reason

The buzzer will alarm when encountering the following situations:

1. The load capacity reaches 100% of the rated load capacity (adjustable);

2. During the debugging process, the loaded analog sampling value is less than or equal to the

no-load analog sampling value;

3. During the debugging process, the difference between the loaded simulated sample value and

the no-load simulated sample value is too small;

4. The signal of the load sensor is disconnected;

5. The signal of the load sensor exceeds 20mA.

6. System failure;

7. Operation error

Blue: Cut Off Load ( stop to telescope to longer boom or lower down the boom
angle, both will increase the actual load, works when A2B Switch is pushed or
the load rate exceeds)
