General Information

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Hirschmann Length-Angle-Radius-Load Indicator System Mentor EI65 has been designed to provide the crane operator with the essential information required to enable the machine to be used within its design parameters. The EI65 System indicates the length and angle of the boom, tip height, working radius and the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane.

Using various sensing devices, the Mentor EI65 System warns the crane operator of certain approaching hazardous conditions, which could occur during the operation of the crane.

The purpose of this Operator’s Manual is to provide information to help the crane operator operate, maintain and troubleshoot the Hirschmann System.

The manual contains the system description, operating, and calibration information.

Always refer to operational instructions and load charts provided by the crane manufacturer

for specific crane operation and load limits.

2. WARNINGS

• The Mentor EI65 is an operational aid that warns a crane operator of certain approaching hazardous conditions, which 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 operation of the crane shall remain with the crane operator who shall ensure that all warnings and instructions supplied are fully understood and observed.

• 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 the indicator and crane.

• Proper functioning is dependent upon proper daily inspection and observations of the operating instructions set forth in this manual.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Hirschmann Mentor EI65 System consists of an operating console with a central microprocessor unit, length/angle sensor, force transducers and anti-two block switches. Boom length and boom angle is registered by the length/angle sensor mounted inside the cable reel, which is mounted on the boom. The boom length is measured by the cable reel cable, which also serves as an electrical conductor for the anti-two block switches.

The crane load is measured by running line tensiometers attached to the upper side of the boom.

3.1 System Function

After ignition of the engine, the system starts with an automatic test of all lamps, the audible alarm and the complete system.

After the system has passed through the system test without errors, the system will request the operator to confirm the boom and jib configuration data. This allows the operator to compare the system configuration with the actual crane configuration (Refer Section 4.1). After the operator confirms the system configuration, the console will indicate on the display the actual load, tip height, boom length, boom angle, and radius. If an error occurs, refer to Section 8 and the error code list.

In case of a lattice boom crane or if the crane is equipped with a jib, the operator has to confirm the boom and jib configuration data after the system test and before normal operation (refer to Section 4

Programming Procedure

4. PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

During the startup phase the Mentor EI65 System automatically starts with a programming procedure which relies on the correct entry by the crane operator.

This procedure consists of three parts:

• Startup Procedure

• Setting operating configuration of the crane

• Setting the preset limits

For simple operation, the computer guides the operator through the procedure step by step. The operator has to read the information displayed and answer questions by using appropriate buttons of the keyboard. During each step of the procedure, particular button lights will come on to identify the possible choices for the step.

4.1 Startup Procedure

After ignition of the engine the system starts the Startup Procedure with a self-test. During the Startup Procedure the crane operator will confirm the preset configuration stored in system memory as described below. The operator will compare the preset operating configuration values with the actual crane configuration.

If there is a difference between the indicated and the actual condition, the operator must correct those values by completing Steps 1 to 15 in Section 4.2.

The system stores the preset values for a minimum of 2 hours when the crane voltage is switched off. After a loss of the preset values, the operator will need to reset these values.

5. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION

Prior to operating the crane, the following checks must be made:

1. Check the cabling connecting the various parts of the system for physical damage.

2. Check the anti-two block switches and weights for free movement.

The following tests shall be performed with care to prevent damage to the machine or

injury to personnel. Proper functioning of the system requires successful

completion of these tests before operating the machine.

3. Check the anti two-block alarm light and the audible alarm by performing one of the following tests

a, b, or c. If the crane is equipped with a boom extension, perform the test procedure on both the main boom and boom extension anti two-block switches.

When checking system the operator must use caution. If the operator cannot see the load

handling device approaching the boom nose, he/she shall have an assistant (signal

person) watch the load handling device. The operator shall be prepared to stop the

machine immediately should the EI65 system not function properly by lighting the red

warning light, sounding the audible alarm and locking the dangerous crane movements.

a) Check the anti-two block alarm light and the audible alarm by manually lifting the weight attached

to the anti- two block switches.

b) Slowly raise the main boom hook block to bring it into contact with the switch weight. When the

hook block lifts the weight, the audible alarm should sound, the anti-two block alarm light should light and the motion of the hook block should be stopped. Lower the hook block slightly to eliminate this condition.

c) Then slowly lower or extend the boom to create a potential two-block condition. When the hook

block lifts the weight, the audible alarm should sound, the anti-two block alarm light should light and the boom lowering and/or boom extension function should be stopped.

NOTE: If the light and audible alarm do not function as described and the crane movements are not stopped the system is not working properly. The malfunction must be corrected before operating the crane.

4. Check that the display of the main boom length agrees with the actual boom length.

5. Check that the display of the main boom angle agrees with the actual angles.

6. Check that the display of the operating radius of the crane agrees with the actual radius.

Page 25

Pre-Operation Inspection

7. Check the load display by lifting a load of known weight. The accuracy of the load indication shall be within the tolerance of SAE J376.

Rated loads include the weight of the hook block, slings, and auxiliary load handling devices. Their combined weights shall be subtracted from the listed load capacities as stated on the load capacity chart to obtain the net load to be lifted.

If any of the displays reflects a deviation between displayed and actual values, an

authorized Hirschmann service representative shall be called for repair of the

system and/or verification of the crane’s calibration.

Any structural modifications or changes to the crane shall require verification of the crane’s

calibration.

6. OPERATION

After completing Section 4 and 5, the crane configuration must match the actual configuration. Once the system is properly set, it is the operator responsibility to be thoroughly familiar with all controls, warning lights, load, length, height, radius and other information on the Mentor EI65 console and crane. The operator is responsible for verifying the operating information is correct. Anytime the operator deems necessary; the pre-operational checks in Section 5 should be completed.

Page 26

Operator’s Manual Mentor EI65

7. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Daily maintenance of the system consists of inspecting:

1. The electrical wiring connecting the various parts of the system. If electrical wiring is damaged, it shall be replaced immediately.

2. Check the anti two-block limit switches for freedom of movement.

3. Check the displayed main boom angle agrees with the actual angle.

4. Check the displayed main boom length agrees with the actual length.

5. Grease linerider sheaves.

Other than correcting the problems identified in the Malfunctions Table and replacing faulty mechanical parts and cables, all other repairs shall be performed by Hirschmann Authorized Service Representatives.
