1 WARNING
The LMI is an operational aid that warns a crane operator of approaching overload conditions and over
hoist conditions that 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 crane operation 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 both the indicator
and the crane.
Proper functioning depends upon proper daily inspection and observance of the operating instructions
set forth in this manual. Refer to Section 6. Pre-Operation Inspection and Calibration Verification of the
operators manual.
The LMI will only work correctly if all adjustments have been properly set. For correct adjustment, the
operator has to correctly answer all of the questions during the setup procedure in accordance with the
current configuration of the crane. To prevent material damage and serious or even fatal accidents, the
correct adjustment of the LMI has to be ensured before starting the crane operation.
2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1
SYSTEM FUNCTION
The HC4900 system is a CAN Bus system made up of a central microprocessor unit, operating console,
length/angle sensor, pressure transducers, and anti-two block switches. All components and sensors
are equipped with CAN Bus controllers.
The Load Moment Indicator system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The real
value, resulting from the pressure measurement, is compared with the reference data which is stored in
the central processor memory and is evaluated in the microprocessor. When limits are reached, an
overload warning signal is generated through the operators console. At the same time, crane functions,
such as hoist up, telescope out and boom down, will be stopped.
The fixed data regarding the crane, such as capacity charts, boom weights, centers of gravity, and
dimensions, are stored in memory chips in the central processing unit. This data is the reference
information used to calculate the operating conditions.
Boom length and boom angle are registered by the length/angle sensor and are mounted inside the
cable reel, which is mounted on the boom. The boom length is measured by cable installed on a cable
reel which also serves as an electrical conductor for the anti two-block switches.
The
load is measured by pressure transducers attached to the piston and rod side of the lift cylinders.
The interactive setup procedure simplifies the input of the operating modes as well as the setting of
geometry limits.
2.2
DESCRIPTION OF A CAN BUS SYSTEM
CAN stands for Controller Area Network. It is intended for use as a serial bus system for a network of
controllers. Each controller, connected through a CAN chip, is called a "node" and is mostly used to
acquire data from a sensor. All nodes are connected to a common bus and all nodes are able to
simultaneously read the data on that bus. Also, all nodes are able to transmit data on that bus. However,
only one node at a given time has write access to the bus. If the message is relevant, it will be
processed; otherwise it is ignored. The unique identifier also determines the priority of the message.
2
The lower the numerical value of the identifier, the higher the priority.
The cable bus is a twisted pair of shielded wire. Data can be transmitted in blocks from 0-8 bytes at a
maximum transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s for networks up to 40 meters. For longer network distances, the
maximum transfer rate must be reduced to 50 Kbit/s for a 1 km network distance. CAN will operate in
extremely harsh environments and the extensive error checking mechanisms ensure that any
transmission errors are detected.

Exceeds the working range
LMI system error
Wrong operation
Press the button
on the interface to stop the audible alarm warning sound for 30 seconds.
3.3.11 A2B indicating 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 winch.
3.3.12 Pre-warning light

When the actual load moment has reached 90%100% of the rated load moment, the yellow
pre-warning light will appear on the operators console. This means an overload situation is
approaching and the operator shall proceed with caution.
3.3.13 Overload warning light

This red display light lights up to indicate that the maximum capacity has been reached or exceeded.
At the same time, the acoustic alarm sounds an uninterrupted signal and, depending on the system
wiring, load moment-increasing boom movements are stopped.

3.4
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The pressure transducer converts hydraulic pressure
into an electric signal. Every pressure transducer has
its own CAN Bus converter board, and it has its own
device Node-ID. The piston oil pressure transducer
is connected to the piston side of the lift cylinder, its
Node-ID is 0x3C; The rod oil pressure transducer is
connected to the rod side of the lift cylinder, its
Node-ID id 0x3D.
There are five pins on the transducer:

The default baudrate is 125K.
3.5
LENGTH AND ANGLE SENSOR

The Length-Angle Transducer: The length-angle
sensor (LWG), often referred to as the cable reel, is
a combination of two transducers in one unit. It is
installed on the base section of the boom and
measures the length and the angle of the boom.
A reeling drum drives a potentiometer, which is the
length transducer. Part of the length transducer
circuit is the length cable on the drum, which is a
multi-conductor cable. It is connected to the
anti-two-block switch at the boom tip and to a slip
ring in the LWG, and is also connected to the CAN
conversion board, which is connected to the Bus
system.
The angle transducer is a potentiometer driven by a
weighted pendulum that is oil dampened. Both length
and angle transducer are connected to a CAN Bus
conversion board, which is connected to the Bus
system.
15
3.6
LENGTH SENSOR
The length sensor (LG105), also known as a cable
reel, the reeling drum drives a potentiometer, which
is the length transducer.
We are using current signal length sensor, 4-20mA,
when it is connected in a whole CAN BUS system, it
should be converted to CAN signal by the CAN
conversion board inside the length and angle sensor
(the big cable reel).
3.7
A2B SWITCH
Anti-Two-Block Switch: The anti-two-block switch
monitors the hook block and its relationship with the
head of the boom. In working condition the switch is
closed. When the load block strikes the weight, the
circuit opens, disengaging a relay output to the lock
out solenoid valves, where applicable. To check the
cable for damage (short circuit to ground), there is a
4.7k resistor between ground and the contact of the
switch, to give a signal back to the central unit. The
weight at the anti-two-block switch keeps the switch
closed until the load block strikes it.
3.8
WIND SPEED
The wind speed sensor (anemometer) is used to
measure the speed of the wind. It converts the wind
into an electric signal. The HC4900 system supports
current and voltage signal wind speed sensors.

4 TROUBLE SHOOTING

LENGTH SENSING
The system measures the length of the main boom of the machine with a length sensor. The length
sensor is contained within the cable reel, located on the left side of the main boom.

Troubleshooting length read-out:
X1 (CAN)
X20 (length)
CAN Bus electronics in cable reel.

The length sensor has a built in potentiometer that is driven by a gear drive from the cable drum. As the
length changes, the cable drum will turn and with it the potentiometers axle. The converter board
supplies a voltage of about 4.7V to the length potentiometer and in return monitors the output voltage of
the potentiometer. The terminal used is X20. The length sensor is connected as follows:
Terminal X20
1
+ 4.71V
2
Signal
3
+ 0.29V
The length potentiometer is 10K and 10 rings and it has three pins. The resistance between pin1 and
pin3 is constant and equal to 10K. The resistance between pin1 and pin2 from 0 to 10K, and the
resistance between pin2 and pin3 from 10K to 0.
18
To troubleshoot the Length channel, perform one of the following options:

Option 1:
19
Option 2:
20
The length sensor returns a voltage between 0.29V at 0 turns of the length pot (= fully retracted) and
4.71V at 10 turns. The number of turns at full extension will depend on the gear ratio, the boom length,
the length cable used, and the spooling pattern. Due to these variables, we cannot provide a standard
table for it.
We can provide the following trouble-shooting table that shows the expected output voltage (measured
between X20-2 and X20-3 Signal) for each complete turn of the length potentiometer.

The System measures the angle of the main boom of the machine with an angle sensor. The angle
sensor is contained within the cable reel, located on the left side of the main boom.

The signal runs from the angle sensor to the CAN Bus converter board, both located in the cable reel.
From there, it travels as digital information on the CAN Bus to the CAN junction box, which acts as the
main CAN Bus running to the central unit.
Troubleshooting angle read-out:

CAN Bus electronics in cable reel

The angle sensor has a built in potentiometer that is driven by a pendulum. As the angle changes, the
pendulum will drive the potentiometers axle. The converter board supplies a constant voltage of 5V to
the angle sensor and in return monitors the voltage of the potentiometer.
The terminal used is X21. The angle sensor is connected as follows:

To troubleshoot the Angle channel, perform one of the following options:
Option 1:
23
Option 2:
Note: If you need to determine the angle for voltages other than shown above, do so by using the
following formula:
Angle (degrees) = 90 degrees ((Voltage-1.875) * 72)
24
Setting the Angle zero point

1. Lower the main boom to zero degrees
2. Open the cable reel
3. Use an allen wrench (6mm) to loosen the screw shown in Box B below, then use an allen wrench
(10mm) to loosen the screw in Box A below, until you can turn the angle sensor.
4. Rotating the angle sensor counter clockwise will decrease the angle and rotating clockwise will
increase the angle. Adjust the displayed angle to be the same as the value measured by the angle
device. The error must not exceed 0.2
4.3
CAN CONVERSION BOARD
The signal runs from the length sensor and the angle sensor to the CANbus converter board, located in
the cable reel. From there, it travels as digital information on the CANbus.
4.4
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
A pressure transducer converts hydraulic pressure into a CAN signal. One (or two) pressure
transducer(s) is (are) connected to the piston side of the lift cylinder and one to the rod side.
25
4.5
LENGTH SENSOR (LG105/11.5)
This cable reel is used to measure inner-mid length, to finish boom control telescope out sequence.
This length sensor sends a current signal, from 4mA to 20mA. When the potentiometer is at the zero
position, it outputs 4mA. The fully out signal will depend on the cable on the reel.

A2B SWITCH
The HC4900 system uses a 4.7K/open-circuit A2B switch. The central unit can check the resistance
value among 3.11K to 8.1K.
In working conditions, a weight hangs from the A2B switch. There is a 4.7K resistant signal between
the plugs pin2 and pin3, when the hook strikes the weight, A2B switch will open-circuit cutting off the
signal output.
In order to be sure that the A2B of the main and the jib hook can work at the same time, we must
serial-connect the two A2Bs, otherwise parallel connection of a piece of 20K resistance is necessary to
reduce the value range of resistance.
26
When there is a problem with the A2B, perform the following steps:
27
4.7
WIND SPEED
The wind speed is a current signal; the effective measurement range is 0~40m/s.
4mA
20mA
-----------
0m/s
40m/s
The wind speed signal must also be converted by the CAN conversion board which is located inside
the LWG (large) cable reel (length/angle sensor). By monitoring the PDB variable the digital value will
be obtained.
Sampling Resistor of wind speed is 200, so:
4mA
20mA

The standard sampling voltage is 5V, and 5V corresponds to digital 32768, so:

NO CONSOLE DISPLAY
If the console displays all of the information, but does not display a warning light when in dangerous
situations, replace the warning light board.
If the console has warning lights and back-lighting, but does not display any information on the LCD,
replace the LCD screen.
If there are no lights, warning lights or back-lighting, follow the steps below:
30

NO POWER IN CENTRAL UNIT
If there is no power supply to the sensors and display, check the central unit and the 19-pin cable which
is connected to the CU.

4.10
CAN BUS COMMUNICATION
The System measures the length of the main boom, the angle of the main boom, the pressure in the lift
cylinder, and the A2B status of the machine via a CAN Bus connection. Since this is a digital bus
connection, it is not possible to measure the signals on the bus with a multi-meter. Instead, the LMI
provides you with error codes that give you an indication of the bus status.
The error codes are one of the following:
E61 Error in the CAN Bus data transfer for all CAN units
E62 Error in the CAN Bus data transfer of the pressure transducer sensor unit
E63 Error in the CAN Bus pressure transducer sensor unit
E64 Error in the CAN Bus data transfer of the length/angle sensor unit
E94 Error in the CAN Bus data transfer between the CU and Console

The block diagram illustrates that if the CU does not see a CAN Bus component, it will report an E61
Error. If it sees only the cable reel, it will report an E62 Error (the pressure transducer is missing). If it
sees only the pressure transducer, it will report an E64 Error (the cable reel is missing). An E63 Error
indicates that the pressure transducer is available, but there is an internal error.
32
What to do when there are problems with one of these codes:
4.10.1 E61
A E61 Error indicates that there is an error in the CAN bus data transfer for all CAN units.
4.10.2 E62
An E62 Error indicates that there is an error in the can bus data transfer of the pressure transducer
sensor unit.
4.10.3 E63
A E63 Error indicates that the pressure transducer is reporting an internal problem. You cannot
troubleshoot any further, but the pressure transducer will need to be replaced.
4.10.4 E64
A E64 Error indicates that the CU is reporting no signal from the cable reel unit. Start by changing the
plug position of cable with the pressure transducers cable on the CAN junction box. If the E62 Error
occurs, replace the CAN junction box; if not, measure the cable from the CAN junction box to the cable
reel with an Ohm-meter. Check all pins of the CAN Bus cable for continuity and cross-check for short
circuit.
If the continuity check fails, the cable must be replaced. If the cable appears to be fine, check the
connector at the cable reel. You can verify that power is being supplied to the sensor by testing the
CAN connectors per the pin layout (see E61). Replace the connector if this check fails.
If the connector checks properly, the board in the cable reel might be defective.

BASIC ADJUSTMENT FOR SENSORS
Retract the boom to the shortest boom length and boom down until the boom angle is about 0
measured by electronic level.
8.1
Set Zero Point of length sensor
Use a flat screwdriver to adjust the displayed boom length to the same as the actual boom length
turning counter clockwise will decrease the length and turning clockwise will increase the length, the
error must not exceed 0.1m.
8.2
Set Zero Point of Angle sensor
Use a wrench or socket (10mm) and a allen wrench (5mm) to adjust the position of the Angle sensor
(see position 1 on the picture below). Turning counter clockwise will decrease the angle and turning
clockwise will increase the angle. Adjust the displayed angle to the same value measured by the angle
device, and the error must not exceed 0.2.
Extend the boom to about 3m, measuring the distance between the rotary center of the hook center
(which is actually the actual radius) and compare it with the displayed radius. If the error is lower than
0.1m, zero point of angle sensor must be corrected by online computer; if the error is above 0.1m,
the boom must retract to about 0, adjust installed position of angle device.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING MOISTURE
The Hirschmann LMI contains electronic components in various locations, such as the central unit, sensors,
junction boxes, etc. These internal components cannot be designed to withstand exposure to moisture over
a long period of time. For this reason, the housings of the components are water protected according to IP
65. If you find water or moisture inside any of the housings, the source of the water ingress has to be
detected and corrected to ensure proper operation.
There are two major possibilities for the occurrence of excessive moisture inside an enclosure:
z
z
Water ingress
Condensation
The outline below gives instructions for detecting the cause for excessive moisture by using simple
troubleshooting methods to determine how to prevent the moisture ingress from happening again.
10.1
WATER INGRESS
There are different reasons for water ingress. It is possible to find the source of water ingress by going
through the following steps and ruling out one possibility after the other until the cause is identified:
1) Spray Cleaning
The enclosures used for the Hirschmann LMI system are water protected to IP 65. This means
protection against the environment, such as rain. However, using a spray cleaner at short distances
can force water through the gasket or strain reliefs. For this reason, avoid spraying any components
from short distances with spray cleaners. Convey this fact to any member of a maintenance crew.
57
2) Missing / Loose Screws

All screws have to be present and should be equally tight to ensure that the enclosure is protected
from. If there are screws missing, replace them. If there are not any screws missing, check the
tightness. If any screws are loose, loosen all of the screws and then re-tighten them equally.
3) Bent Lid
An enclosure will only seal correctly if the lid is not bent. To check this, loosen all screws of the lid,
take the lid off the box and visually inspect it for deflection. If the lid is bent or damaged, it needs to
be replaced. Try to determine what has caused the lid to be bent and eliminate the reason for that.
4) Defective Gasket
The gasket underneath the lid seals the unit. The gasket needs to be in good condition in order to
seal correctly. If the gasket is torn, brittle or severely bent, it needs to be replaced.
5) Loose Strain Reliefs
The strain relief allows cabling to enter the box without allowing water to enter it. The strain relief has
to be correctly tightened in order to do this. Check the tightness by taking the external cable in one
hand and carefully trying to turn it. If the internal wires turn with the outer cable, the strain relief is
loose. Order a new grommet (insert) through your Hirschmann representative and replace the
existing one with the new one. Tighten the strain relief correctly. Note: Whenever a strain relief is
opened, i.e. to replace a cable, a new grommet needs to be used. Never re-use a grommet or the
strain relief will not seal properly!
6) Water Entry Through External Cabling
Even with a tight strain relief, water may still enter the box through the inside of the cable. In this
case, you have to find out why and where water enters the cable. Look for damage to the cable itself
and inspect the opposite side of the cable. For example, if the cable comes from a connector that is
full of water, the water will run through the inside of the cable and fill up the central unit, too.

CONDENSATION
In a climate with high humidity and rapidly changing temperatures, condensation can occur inside any
enclosure. Typically, the larger the volume of the box, the more likely condensation will occur. In this
case, water drops build up on the inner components when humid air is trapped inside the box. With
condensation, water tightness is not a problem the box is sealed, which is what prevents the trapped
air from exiting the box. There are two ways to handle condensation:
z
If the volume is very small, a desiccant bag might be able to soak up the airs humidity.
If the effect is more severe, the only way to get rid of this effect is to give the box the ability to
breathe without sacrificing its water tightness. Contact a Hirschmann representative for breathing
elements that can be added to the box and will help to reduce the effects of humid climates.
