An Example of the ALT mode

In normal operation, there are four display modes available:


ALT mode shows a description of the duty selected. The ALT mode is first
displayed on initial power-up.
NORMAL mode shows the crane’s various functions. This is the main operating mode.
L/H mode changes the second line of the display from RADIUS and BOOM
ANGLE to BOOM LENGTH and TIP HEIGHT.
TARE mode when pushed, will deduct the existing load displayed from itself and any
future load, and can be canceled by a second push.
TEST mode initiates a test routine that takes approximately 10 seconds.
DIAGNOSTICS mode shows the condition(s) of the various sensors.

TO ENTER CAL MODE


TO ENTER THE CALIBRATION MODE
The calibration mode is protected by a sequence code which is only available to
trained, authorized personnel, at the discretion of the owner.
To enter the calibration mode, press:
TEST - TEST - TEST - ALT
The display will show the crane make and model, the increments used in the system
and the load chart (“feet - pounds” or “meters - kilos”), the serial number of the
system, and the system’s date.
While this data is displayed, (approximately 10 seconds,) the entry code must be
pushed. If the incorrect entry code is selected, the display will return to its standard,
normal mode.
Once the calibration mode has been entered, the display will be at calibration mode
00, which is the starting point for the calibration process.

WARNING
THE CALIBRATION MODE ENABLES THE BASIC FUNCTION OF THE
INDICATOR TO BE CHANGED. UNAUTHORIZED INTERFERENCE WITH THE
CALIBRATION OF THE SYSTEM CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO THE SAFETY
OF THE CRANE.

SEQUENCE OF CALIBRATION
1) Go to Mode 15 and carry out “I - A” to ensure that the system is cleared back to
the factory standard.
2) Ensure that the loadpins are electrically connected before installation, and the
zeros are set (in Mode 01,Section 06 & 07) and the sensitivity of each pin is set (in
Mode 02, Section 06 & 07).
3) Check the geometry dimensions in Mode 13 and 14, ensuring that all data is
present and correct.
4) Check Mode 11 and 12 for correct settings of alarm percentages, rope limits, etc.
5) Complete Mode 01 and 02 for setting the zero and the span of boom angle.
6) Initial boom calibrations should be carried out with the shortest boom length with
Mode 03 (boom weight) and then Mode 05 (load calibration), to be completed and
working correctly before moving on to the next section.
7) After ensuring that (# 6 above) has been completed and is correct, increase the
boom length to approximately half the full length, or to the shortest boom that will
carry a jib. Next, this main boom should be calibrated for boom weight (in Mode
03), and the jib fitted and then calibrated for boom weight (in Mode 04). Boom
deflection (in Mode 06) is then carried out at this time and at any other time it is
found to be necessary.
8) Additonal boom and boom / jib combinations should then be rigged and calibrated,
to cover the maximum possible boom lengths. Typically at least three (3) boom
lengths are calibrated, and more (if practical) will ensure maximum accuracy of
calibration. If midpoint suspension is employed, calibration must be carried out at
the suspension point boom length and at the boom length immediately prior to
midpoint suspension.
9) Jib calibrations (in Mode 04) must be carried out for all combinations of jibs (for
example, all boom lengths / offsets on the minimum and maximum boom lengths).
10)After all the above is completed and double-checked, go to Mode 15 and backup
the calibration by copying “A” memory to “B” memory. TAKE GREAT CARE TO
NOT DO AN “I - A” COPY AS THIS WILL WIPE OUT THE CALIBRATION.

To change Sections, press “ALT” - this will cause the Section number to flash. While it is flashing, press
“+” or “-” until the correct Section number is displayed. To stop the number flashing, press “ALT”.
The second display line as shown above has two sets of numbers: the left-hand set are for reference only;
and the right-hand set are changed to effect the calibration.
To modify the Section, press “F”. This will cause the ‘100’s’ to flash; while flashing, this number can be
changed up or down (as required) by pressing “+” or “-”. Once the correct number has been selected,
press “F” again to change the flashing digit to the ‘10’s’; a third press of “F” will change the flashing digit to
the ‘1’s’ and an additional press of “F” will change the flashing digit to the ‘0.1’s’, etc. While any of these
right-hand numbers has a flashing digit, it can be changed up or down (as required) by pressing “+” or “-”.
A final press of the “F” button will stop the flashing and give three choices:
l “ALT” will allow a change to a different Section number.
l “L/H” will store the calibration just performed. (If “+” or “-” have not been used, the memory will not be
updated (since no change has been made), even if the command to store (“L/H”) is used.) If “L/H” is
pressed, the display will change after a delay of approximately three seconds.
l “TARE” will return to Mode 00/00 without saving the calibration just performed.

CAL MODE 03
Cal Mode 03 is used to calibrate the boom weight moment

The display will show this


when in Cal Mode 03

NOTES:
While using this mode, the hook block(s) must be on the ground, or the hoist rope(s) must be
tied back to the boom and left slack.
During the calibration, the boom angle must be increased slowly and steadily, or stationary.
The boom angle must NOT be decreasing. If the boom angle is decreased, the Cal Mode 03
must be redone.
Select the boom length to be calibrated by selecting the appropriate duty number, prior to
entering the Cal Mode. Initial calibration in Mode 03 should be on the shortest boom length,
(immediately followed by Mode 05). Next, an intermediate boom is rigged and the appropriate
duty selected, and Mode 03 is calibrated for that length. Further boom lengths follow;
ordinarily at least three (3) boom lengths, and more if practical (to ensure maximum accuracy
of calibration). If mid-point suspension is employed, a Mode 03 calibration must be carried out
at the suspension point length and the length immediately prior to the mid-point suspension.
Position the boom at approximately 0º boom angle and press ALT. The Section number will
change to 01 and the next target boom angle will be displayed. Raise the boom until the
boom angle displayed on the left side is close to the target boom angle, and press ALT. The
Section number will again change and the next target boom angle will be displayed. Continue
until the max boom angle is reached (or the display offers a target of “ - - “). A maximum of
twelve (12) Sections are available for a particular boom length.
Not all main boom lengths need to be calibrated in Mode 03; where two lengths have been
calibrated, an interpolation of weights is done by the computer for intermediate boom lengths.
To store the results, press L/H. To abort Mode 3 at any time, press TARE.

The display will show this


when in Cal Mode 04

NOTES:
While using this mode, the hook block(s) must be on the ground, or the hoist rope(s) must be
tied back to the boom and left slack.
During the calibration, the boom angle must be increased slowly and steadily, or stationary.
The boom angle must NOT be decreasing. If the boom angle is decreased, the Cal Mode 03
must be redone.
Select the boom length/ jib length / jib offset to be calibrated by selecting the appropriate duty
number, prior to entering the Cal Mode. This procedure must be performed for each jib
length / jib offset combination.
Derrick the boom up to approximately 20º boom angle and press ALT. The Section number
will change to 01 and the target boom angle will be change to 60º. Raise the boom up to
approximately 60º and press ALT; the Section number will change to 02 and the target will
show “ - - “.
Not all main boom lengths need to be calibrated with specific jibs. Where two lengths have
been calibrated, an interpolation of weights is done by the computer for intermediate boom
lengths.
To store the results, press L/H. To abort Mode 4 at any time, press TARE.

NOTES:
Cal Mode 05 should be done with the maximum possible load on a short main boom; at least
75% of maximum capacity, just inside the rated radius.
When entering the gross load value, include the weight of the hook block, slings, shackles,
rigging, and hoist rope suspended from the head sheaves.
To Enter the Test Load Value:
• Press “F” to start the first digit flashing.
• Press “+” or “-” to adjust the flashing digit to the appropriate value.
• Press “F” to move the flashing digit to the right and press “+” or “-” to adjust this flashing
digit to the appropriate value.
• Continue until all the digits have been adjusted to the appropriate value and the flashing
stops.
• Proceed to the “Derrick Up Calibration”(see next paragraph).
To Enter the Derrick Up Calibration:
• Derrick the boom up gently until the load is clear of the ground.
• Measure the radius of the load and ensure that the displayed radius is correct.
• If the displayed radius is incorrect, press TARE to exit this mode, and investigate and
correct the cause of the radius error.
• If the displayed radius is correct press ALT. The Section Number will change to 01;
proceed to the “Derrick Down Calibration” (see next paragraph).
To Enter the Derrick Down Calibration:
• After ensuring the Section Number is displaying “01” (by completing the “Derrick Up
Calibration”), derrick the boom gently down by 2º or more, with the load still suspended.
• Press L/H and wait approximately three seconds while the memory is updated and
checked.
NOTE: during this Cal Mode, all crane movements should be slow and smooth. All
buttons should be pressed only with the load stationary and not swinging or bouncing.

To change Sections, press “ALT” - this will cause the Section number to flash. While it is flashing,
press “+” or “-” until the correct Section number is displayed. To stop the number flashing, press “ALT”.
To modify the Section, press “F”. This will cause the character directly after the “=” to flash. Either a
blank (for a “positive” value) or a “-” (for a “negative” value) can be selected by pressing “+” or “-”.
Press “F” again and the next character will be flashing, allowing it to be adjusted by using the “+” or “-”.
Further presses of the “F” button will allow selection of the appropriate character; each can be
adjusted by using the “+” or “-”.
Adjustment range in this mode is from 0000 to 9999.
A final press of the “F” button will stop the flashing.

CAL MODE 15
Cal Mode 15 is used to move stored calibration information
The display will show this
when first in Cal Mode 15

Cal Mode 15 is used to move stored calibration data between memory sections. The Loadwise 500
System contains two memory sections: MEMORY A and MEMORY B.

When Power is applied to the system, data in MEMORY A is copied to the active memory which is used
for all calibrations, etc. During the calibration process, the data being entered is being placed in the active
memory and if the “L/H” button is pressed, this data is copied to MEMORY A. MEMORY B is a backup
area that is used to store a copy of MEMORY A for possible future use.

Cal Mode 15 also has a third function: an INITIALIZE sequence allows the calibration to be reset to the
factory-default settings, which clears all entered data in MEMORY A. This process must be performed as
the first step of the calibration process, and typically is not performed again.

There are three sections in Cal Mode 15:

Mode/Section Description
No.
15/01 Initializes MEMORY A (to factory default values)
15/02 Copies MEMORY A to MEMORY B
15/03 Swaps MEMORY B and MEMORY A

To change Sections, press “ALT” - this will cause the Section number to flash. While it is flashing, press
“+” or “-” until the correct Section number is displayed. To stop the number flashing, press “ALT”.
To initiate the movements, first press “F”, followed by “L/H”. To abort at any time, press “TARE” or return
to 15/00, where “NONE” is displayed, and then press “F” or “L/H” or “TARE”.

Notes / Additions
The following functions have been added to the 502 program:

Mode/Section Description
No.
This adds load to all main boom duty loads and should be set
01/02 as a default to zero.

This subtracts load from all jib duty loads and should be set as
02/02 a default to zero.

Is named “Correction %” and should be set as a default value


to 100%.
This % is 100% at high angle and progresses toward the set value
11/05 as the boom angle is reduced. Therefore the load should be
calibrated at high angle and corrected plus or minus at a low
boom angle.
