1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of the iFLEX5 load moment limitation and control system with iSCOUT expert compact console (hereafter referred to as LMI) is to provide the crane operator with important information
necessary for the operation of the crane within the areas of operation specified by the manufacturer. The LMI uses a variety of different sensors to monitor different crane functions and communicates the crane performance data to the crane operator on a continuous basis. This data changes constantly in connection with the crane movements.
If the crane nears its safe load limit, the system will warn the crane operator by means of both acous­tic and optical signals. In addition, as soon as the crane reaches an unauthorized operating status, all crane movements will be switched off that would increase the load moment on the crane.
The PAT iFLEX5 system uses a graphics operator interface, the functionality of which is determined
by the crane manufacturer. The selection of the programmed functions is considerably simplified by the use of symbols.
The load moment limitation and control system based on the PAT iFLEX5 is made up of main com-
ponents that are connected via a CAN bus.

2. IMPORTANT NOTES
The LMI is an operating aid that warns the crane operator of imminent overloading or of the approach of the hook block, hook ball, or load to the boom head, in order to avoid possible property damage or injury to personnel.
The device is not, nor is it intended to be, a substitute for good operator judgment and/or experience, nor does it remove the need for utilizing only recognized safe procedures during crane operations.
The crane operator continues to bear ultimate responsibility for safe operation of the crane. He must ensure that he fully understands and follows the displayed notes and instructions in their entirety. Before beginning crane operations, the crane operator must carefully read and understand the entire manual in order to ensure that he is aware of the operation and limitations of both the LMI and the crane itself. Proper functioning is dependent upon proper daily inspection and observation of the oper­ating instructions set forth in the manual.
The LMI is not able to provide aid to the crane operator unless it has been properly adjusted and unless the correct load capacity chart and the correct operating code have been en­tered for the respective rigging configuration. The accuracy of the LMI settings must be guaranteed before beginning crane work in order to avoid damage to property and severe or even fatal injuries to personnel.
This system can be equipped with an external key-operated switch located in the crane op­erator's cab. This key-operated switch overrides control lever function switch-off by the LMI or by the hoist limit switch system. This switch may only be used during emergency situa­tions, and even then only by authorized personnel. Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to property and severe or even fatal injuries to personnel.
The LMI cannot perform correctly unless it has been properly adjusted. The prerequisite for this is making conscientious and correct entries during the set-up procedure, in accor­dance with the actual configuration of the crane. The accuracy of the LMI settings must be ensured before beginning crane work in order to avoid damage to property and severe or even fatal injuries to personnel.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The PAT load moment limitation and control system consist of an iFLEX5 central unit, an iSCOUT expert compact CAN console and various sensors for collection the measured values.
Fig. 1: Components of the LMI system with iFLEX5
The system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The actual value is compared with the calculated reference values and evaluated by the system. An overload warning signal is trig­gered on the display and operating console once limit values are reached. All crane movements that increase the load moment are switched off at the same time.
The crane-specific data specified by the manufacturer, such as load capacity charts, boom weights, centers of gravity and dimensions, are stored in the central data memory. This data is the reference information used to calculate the operating conditions.
The boom angle is registered by means of an angle sensor that is mounted on the boom. The crane load is determined indirectly with the aid of force and angle sensors.

3.1 SYSTEM FUNCTION
Upon switching on, the system starts with an automatic test of the LMI system, of lamps and audible alarm. During the test, the LC (liquid crystal) display shows the start screen.
If the system was turned off for more than the maximum time, the setup configuration must be entered after the system test. ( chapter 4)
First, the operating mode is determined by a step-by-step review of the rigging states.
Next, input of the reeving.
Now the LC display shows all inputs and awaits acknowledgment or cancelling.
Upon acknowledgment of the inputs the system is ready for operation. In the event of a disruption, a corresponding error code "E##" will appear on the Data dis­play (1). (> refer to error code table)

(2) Utilization display (bar graph)
The Utilization display (bar graph) indicates how much of the per-
mitted load (nominal moment) is currently being utilized. The load display also undergoes constant alteration because the nominal moment changes continuously during lifting operation.
The bar graph is filled with various colors:
green: "safe" range (0...90% of the nominal moment)
yellow: "pre-warning" range (90...100% of the nominal moment)
red: "overload range" (>100% of the nominal moment)
(3) "Load moment prewarning" light
This yellow prewarning light comes up when the load on the crane amounts to 90% - 100% of the respective nominal carrying load, which indicates that an overload situation is immediately pending.
For the crane operator, this means that the crane work can continue only with the greatest amount of caution.
(4) "Overload" w arning light
This red Overload warning light indicates to the crane operator that
an overload condition has occurred. It lights up when the crane load has reached 100% of maximum load carrying capacity permit­ted for the current operating status. The acoustic alarm sounds. The load-moment-increasing crane movements are switched off at the same time.

(5) "Hoist limit" w arning light
This red warning light lights up when the hoist limit switch contacts open, i.e. when a hoist limit situation has occurred. The acoustic alarm sounds and load-moment-increasing crane movements are switched off at the same time.
A hoist limit situation occurs when the hook block comes into contact with the boom head. The danger exists in such situations that the hoist rope will break, causing the load to fall. A hoist limit situation could arise from the load being pulled against the boom head or from the boom being ex­tended or lowered without the hoist rope being spooled off the drum(s).
(6) "Load limit device (LMI) override" warning light
This red warning light lights up when the switch-off function of the LMI system has been manually overridden.
(7) "Hoist limit sw itch override" warning light
This red warning light lights up when the switch-off function of the hoist limit switch has been manually overridden.
(8) "ESC (Escape)" key
Push button for returning to the normal LMI display

(9) "Brightness setting" pushbutton
The brightness and thus the legibility of the data display and the buttons can be adjusted at any time with this pushbutton.
(10) "Buzzer off" key
The acoustic alarm can be suppressed by pressing this pushbut­ton, although not before the alarm has sounded a minimum of 5 s. The alarm will sound again after approximately 10 s if the cause of it being triggered is still present.
The acoustic alarm sounds in the following situations:
System test, overload condition, imminence of a hoist limit situation (when the hoist limit switch function is registered by the LMI system), disruption of the LMI system, or presence of operating errors recognized by the system.
(11) "TARE" key
The "TARE" key is for the purpose of outputting the net load on the Actual load display. The net load is the current load minus the load
hoisting equipment and the hook block. The "TARE" pushbutton must be pressed before the hoisting process is initiated.
After the button is actuated, the Current Load display is set to zero (tared). After the load has been raised, the Current Load display will then show the net load (payload). As soon as the working radius (by angle or radius modification) is modi­fied, the display shows again the current load and the taring function is completed.
Note: The current load includes the hook block, the hoist rope and all of the load lifting tackle. The net load is the current load on the hook without load lifting tackle. Display errors can be caused by the effects of environmental influences such as wind on the boom or the load.

4. Configuration SETUP
It is necessary to setup the system by entering the respective mode of configuration every time the crane structure is modified.
The SLI cannot perform correctly unless it has been properly adjusted. The prerequisite for this is making conscientious and correct entries during the setup procedure, in accordance with the actual configuration of the crane. The accuracy of the SLI settings must be ensured before beginning crane work in order to avoid damage to property and severe or even fatal injuries to personnel.
The correct setting is of utmost importance for the proper functioning of the system and the crane.
Therefore, only operators who are thoroughly familiar with the crane and the operation of the system should execute this configuration procedure.
The setup procedure is cancelled any time by pressing key (8) "ESC". The system, however, is only
ready for operation, if the procedure has been completed and the inputs have been confirmed.
During the programming procedure the Load Moment Prewarning Light (3) and the Load Moment Limit Light (4) will light up and the crane movements will be interrupted.
If the system is turned off all adjustments remain stored. When turning the system on again these adjustments can be acknowledged by merely pressing the "OK" key in the confirmation screens (pro­vided that the crane configuration has not been modified)

4.3.4.2 Working Area Limitation - Virtual Wall (if equipped)
Programmable function for the limitation of the working area by up to 5 virtual walls.
The work area definition system helps the operator to define the crane’s working area. This is done by creating vertical wall(s) that can represent obstacles (i.e. buildings, towers, poles, etc.) in the crane’s working range. The wall(s) are set by defining points with the boom tip along the outer limits of the operator’s work area, see setup procedure below. Because these walls are defined by the operator and are not “actual real” walls, we refer to them as “virtual” walls. When setting the walls, always keep a safe working distance to any obstacles. Never work outside a safe working area as outlined by common practice, standards, and manuals. A virtual wall is set by defining two points.
To prevent inaccuracies when defining the two points for the virtual wall, use the following two rules:
1. The two points should be the same distance from the obstacle.
2. Set the two points at the maximum distance apart, which can be safely reached by the boom tip.
The operator can setup up to 5 virtual walls, the first wall is defined by a straight line between two set points. The second through fifth walls are created by one new point and the previously selected point. After the walls have been set, the system alerts the operator when the boom approaches them. This is done both visual and audible. Similarly, the “virtual wall” symbol in the main screen blinks.

5. PRE-OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
Prior to operating the crane, the following electrical connections must be checked to ensure that the LMI system is properly connected for the crane configuration.
Cranes with only a main hoist
If the crane works only with the boom and without boom extension or lattice extension, no additional con­nections are necessary. It must however be ensured that the lifting limit switch weight is correctly mounted on the main boom hoist rope. With even numbers of rope lines, the lifting limit switch weight shall be at­tached to the "dead end" of the hoist rope. With odd numbers of rope lines, the lifting limit switch weight shall be attached to the rope line with the lowest operating speed.
If the crane works with a main boom extension or top section, the connecting cable must be mounted between the distributor socket on the lattice extension and the distributor socket on the main boom. The weight of the hoist limit switch of the main boom must be disconnected and mounted on the hoist limit switch of the extension or of the jib.
Failure to reposition the hoist limit switch weight will prevent the hoist limit switch system from functioning properly. No weight shall be mounted on the hoist limit switch of the main boom when working with the extension/top section.
Machines with Main and Auxiliary Hoists
If the main boom extension or the top section is not used, then the bridging plug must be plugged into the distributor socket on the main boom and the lifting limit switch weight must be mounted on the main boom.
If the crane works with a main boom extension and/or with a lattice extension, then the connecting cable must be mounted between the distributor socket on the extension or on the top section and the distributor socket on the main boom. In addition, weights must be fitted to both the hoist limit switch of the main boom and the extension or the top section.
If the boom extension or the lattice extension are in working position and if the main boom is not equipped with a hoist rope, then the weight of the hoist limit switch on the main boom must be removed in order to prevent endangerment to personnel or damage to the equipment.
After the electrical connections have been checked to ensure that the system is properly connected for the respective crane configuration, the following checks must be made:
1. Check the electrical wiring connecting the various parts of the system for physical damage.
2. Check the hoist limit switches and hoist limit weights for free movement.
3. Inspection of the spring cable drum for smooth running, initial drum tension and correct winding of the cable.
4. Inspection of the mechanical and electrical installation of power measurement sockets on the lattice extensions (if present).
Inspection checks before going into operation

50 650 19 0201e_Rev C (LinkBelt278).doc / 2008-08-18 / Rev. C / rk
The following tests must be performed with care in order to avoid damage to the crane or injury to personnel. Proper functioning of the LMI system requires successful com­pletion of these tests before commencing work. If the operator cannot see the hook block approaching the head machinery, he must assign this task to an assistant (slinger). The crane operator must be prepared to stop the crane at once in the event that the LMI system is not working correctly, i.e. when the red warning lights fail to light up, the acoustic alarm does not sound and the crane movements such as raising, extending and luffing are not switched off.
Check the Hoist limit switch warning light and the acoustic alarm as follows:
1. Manually raise the weight fitted on the hoist limit switch. As soon as the weight is raised, the acoustic
alarm should sound and the hoist limit switch warning light should light up.
If the warning light and the audible alarm do not function as described and the crane movements are not switched off, then the system is not working properly. The mal­function must be corrected before commencing work.
5. If the crane is equipped with a main boom extension or with a lattice extension, then the inspection procedure must be repeated for the hoist limit switch of the extension/top section.
6. Check that the display of the main boom length agrees with the actual boom length.
7. Check that the display of the main boom angle agrees with the actual boom angle.
8. Check that the display of the operating radius of the crane agrees with the actual radius.
9. Check the load display by lifting a load of known weight. The accuracy of the load display must be within the tolerance range.

5.1 OPERATION
The LMI is operational once it has been adjusted properly. The crane operator must for that rea­son be familiar with all of the operating elements of the LMI and must make the correct entries before the crane begins work. The proper function of the system shall be checked by lifting a load of known weight and comparing the load to the information displayed on the LMI.
Rated loads include the weight of the hook block, slings, and auxiliary load handling devices. This combined weight must be subtracted from the values contained in the load capacity chart in order to determine the net load to be raised.
If any of the displays reflect a deviation between displayed and actual values an au­thorized PAT service representative shall be called for repair of the system or re­verification of the crane's LMI calibration.
Contact: www.hirschmann-usa.com
Any structural modifications or changes to the crane shall require re-verification of the crane's LMI calibration.

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 jibs for these boom lengths.
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 recognized, 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 can 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 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 shield against high­frequency interference.
All components are equipped with metallic outer housings with grounding 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 4 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
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 5 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.
