Limiter
The following describes the function and operation of
the Microguard 534 Rated Capacity Limiter. The system is intended to aid the operator in the efficient operation of the crane by continually monitoring the load
and warning of an approach to an overload or unsafe
condition.
WARNING
Although the system will alert the operator of
an approaching overload or unsafe condition,
it remains the responsibility of the operator to
operate the crane safely at all times.
This system must never be substituted for the
good judgment of the crane operator using safe
operating procedures. The operator is solely
responsible for safe operation of the crane.
!!THIS SYSTEM IS AN OPERATOR’S AID −
NOT A SAFETY DEVICE!!

2. Amber Lights − Approaching Overload
3. Red Lights − Overload
System Description
The system monitors crane functions by means of high
accuracy sensors and continuously compares the load
with a copy of the crane capacity chart which is stored
in the computer memory. If an overload is approached,
the system warns by means of audible and visual
alarms and is configured to cause function limitation.
The MicroGuard 534 Rated Capacity Limiter provides
the operator with a continuous display of:
Rated Capacity
Actual Load
Percentage of Rated Capacity
Radius of the Load
Angle of the Main Boom
Crane Configuration
Length of the Main Boom
An additional feature of the system is the provision of
operator settable alarms. These alarms, when properly set, provide a method of obstacle avoidance. This is
achieved by means of maximum boom angle, maximum load radius, maximum boom head height, left
and right swing, and defined area alarms. These
alarms can be programmed for each job site and set
rapidly for the prevailing site conditions thereby aiding
the operator in safe operation of the crane.

301-371-6126
The following is a list of procedures which are used to
operate the multiple features of the Rated Capacity
Limiter. Use these procedures in conjunction with the
previous display unit control descriptions.
System Self-Test
At start-up the system automatically performs a self test
after which all lamps, audible alarms, and digital displays will be functionally tested and all memory areas
checked for accuracy. If faults in the system are detected during a test, the warning message area will
show the words SYSTEM FAULT. If the words SYSTEM
FAULT occur, press the Display/Select button to display the Calibration And Diagnostic screen. Through
the Calibration And Diagnostic screen, information can
be accessed about the fault condition by means of an
error code. Contact your local distributor for details of
the fault codes.
Note: If the batteries have been disconnected interrupting power to the computer, the start-up time for
on-board computer systems will be longer than
normal.
System Bypass
In emergency situations, the Rated Capacity Limiter
computer can be bypassed. The computer is located
on the back of the operator’s cab. Refer to
Figure 1−70. There is a RCL Status keyswitch adjacent to the computer to bypass the system. Move the
key to the Bypass" position to bypass the system. For
emergency use while the system is bypassed, refer to
System Inoperative or Malfunctioning" that follows.
WARNING

2. When the rated capacity limiter is inoperative or
malfunctioning, the designated person responsible for supervising the lifting operations shall establish procedures for determining load weights
and shall ascertain that the weight of the load does
not exceed the crane ratings at the radius where
the load is to be handled.
3. When a boom angle or radius indicator is inoperative or malfunctioning, the radius or boom angle
shall be determined by measurement.
4. When the anti-two block warning device is inoperative or malfunctioning, the designated person responsible for supervising the lifting operations
shall establish procedures, such as assigning an
additional signal person, to furnish equivalent
protection. This does not apply when lifting personnel in load line supported baskets. Personnel
shall not be lifted in load line supported baskets
when the anti-two block devices are not functioning properly.
5. When a boom length indicator is inoperative or
malfunctioning, the designated person responsible for supervising the lifting operations shall establish the boom length at which the lift will be
made by actual measurement or markings on the
boom.
6. When a level indicator is inoperative or malfunctioning, other means shall be used to level the

301-371-6126
The CANCEL ALARM button is used to cancel the
audible alarm when the alarm has occurred as a result
of either an Overload, a Two Block alarm, or an Operator settable alarm. The audible alarm may be canceled
by pressing and releasing the CANCEL ALARM button.
The audible alarm remains canceled until the condition
which caused the alarm has been removed. For example, if the audible alarm was canceled because of an
overload condition, it will remain canceled until the
overload condition is removed. However, if a different
alarm, e.g. two block condition, was to occur when the
audible alarm was still canceled for an earlier overload
condition, the new alarm condition would cause the audible alarm to be re-started.

Rigging/Travel Mode Screen
To Select Rigging/Travel Mode
The CRANE SETUP push button is also used to select
RIGGING/TRAVEL MODE. This mode is used to facilitate rigging and travel of the crane by inhibiting function limiters and the audible alarm while selected. To
resume crane operation, select proper outrigger or tire
configuration per the proper procedure.
WARNING
The Microguard 534 is not operational when in
the RIGGING/TRAVEL Mode. Return the Microguard 534 to normal operation before operating the crane.
1. From the normal working screen press the CRANE
SETUP button. The crane setup screen will
change and graphically display the carrier options.
2. Select for stationary rigging or when traveling the crane. Refer to Figure 1−84.
Note: Boom must be fully retracted to enter
travel mode.
WARNING
Once the function limiters have been
by-passed, the crane is no longer protected
against the condition that initially caused the
function limiters to occur.
Note: The CANCEL ALARM feature is a temporary
function. The audible alarm or function limit is automatically reset when the condition which caused
the alarm is no longer present.
The CANCEL ALARM is also used to reset the function
limiters when it is necessary to by-pass the function limiters which has occurred as a result of either an overload, a two block alarm, or a rope limit. Function limiters are reset by first canceling the audible alarm (as described above) and then pressing and holding the
CANCEL ALARM button for about 3 seconds, after
which the function limiters will be reset to allow normal
operation. However, should another different alarm
condition occur when the function limiters had previously been over-ridden, then the newly occurring
alarm condition would cause the function limiters to activate again.
Operator Settable Alarms
Some alarms occur automatically as a result of limitations imposed by the capacity chart. The operator has
control over additional alarms which can be set to operate within the normal chart limitations and which are, in
addition to, those already set by the chart.
Operator settable alarms will be stored in the computer
memory, even if the crane is shutdown, until they are
cleared. Refer to Figure 1−85.
