1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual describes the function, operation and maintenance of the DS 350 Load Mo-
ment Indicator1 (LMI).
The LMI has been designed to provide the crane operator with the essential information required to
enable the machine to be used within its design parameters.
Using various sensing devices, the Load Moment Indicator monitors various crane functions and pro-
vides the operator with a continuous reading of the crane's capacity. The readings continuously
change as the crane moves through the motions needed to make the lift.
The LMI provides the operator with information regarding the length and angle of the boom, tip height,
working radius, rated load and the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane.
If non permitted conditions are approached, the DS 350 Load Moment Indicator will warn the operator
by sounding an audible alarm, lighting a warning light and locking out those functions that may aggra-
vate the crane's condition.
1
LOAD MOMENT: generally the product of a force and its moment arm; specifically, the product of the load and the load-
radius. Used in the determination of the lifting capacity of a crane.

2. WARNINGS
The LMI is an operational aid which warns a crane operator of approaching overload conditions and
also warns of overhoist conditions which could cause damage to equipment and personnel.
WARNING
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 ob-
served.
Prior to operating the crane, the operator must carefully and thoroughly read and under-
stand 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 op-
erating instructions set forth in this manual.
WARNING
The displays will only aid the operator when the LMI is properly programmed and the proper
load capacity chart is selected for the crane configuration being utilized. To prevent prop-
erty damage or serious bodily injury or death to personnel, ensure the LMI is properly pro-
grammed before operating the crane.
WARNING
This system is equipped with an override key on the central microprocessor unit. This key
switch bypasses control lever lock-out function of load moment indicator device. The
switch may only be used by authorized personnel during emergency situations. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in property damage and/or personal injury.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The PAT Load Moment Indicator DS 350 consists of a central micro processor unit, operating console
and various peripheral sensors.
The system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The real value, resulting from the
pressure measurement is compared with the reference data, stored in the central processor memory
and evaluated in the micro processor. When limits are reached, an overload warning signal is gener-
ated at the operator's console. At the same time, the dangerous crane movements, 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 processor unit. This data is the reference infor-
mation used to calculate the operating conditions.
System operation is controlled partially by automatic devices such as angle sensors and partially by
manual devices such as switches on the operator's console.
Boom length and boom angle are registered by the length/angle sensor, mounted inside the cable
reel which is mounted on the boom. The crane load is measured by pressure transducers attached to
the piston and rod side of the lift cylinders.

After ignition of the engine, the system starts with an automatic test of all lamps, the displays, the
audible alarm and the complete system. All segments on the display are triggered. Upon completion
of the different tests without errors, the key "operating mode" (6) lights up. The system now awaits
either the acknowledgment of the operating mode code displayed in the field K of the data display
(1) or the input of a new operating mode code corresponding to the momentary crane configuration.
Then, real load, lifted load as well as different crane data are now displayed on the LCD screen. Only
now the system is in ready for operation.
Note: When turning off the system, the adjusted values for operating mode and reeving will be
stored.
In case of malfunction, the respective error code "E##" will be displayed on the data display (1) in the
field M (please refer to chapters 3.4 and 7).

The DATA DISPLAY (1) is a multi-functional LC display which shows load, geometrical and crane
data. The display is further described at chapter 3.4.
WARNING
This condition, if not prevented, will cause the wire rope to break, allowing the load to fall.
Two blocking can be caused by raising the load into the boom head, lowering the boom
without paying out hoist line and, in case of a hydraulic crane, by extending the boom with-
out paying out hoist line.

ATTENTION
This means for the operator to continue his crane operation with extreme caution.
The red LOAD MOMENT LIMIT LIGHT (4) warns the operator that
a rated load condition has been reached. It lights up when the load
on the crane reaches the crane load capacity.
The audible alarm also sounds when this condition has been
reached. The following crane movements will be stopped concur-
rently: hoist up, boom down.
This red pilot lamp lights up if the cutoff function of the LMI system
has been manually bridged. The manual bridging is done by a key
switch which is located at the side of the central unit housing.
This key may only be use in emergencies and by authorized per-
sonnel exclusively.

WARNING
The correct setting is of utmost importance for the proper function of the system and the
crane.
The button "TARE" (8) serves to output the net load on the load
display (see #F, chapter 3.4). The net load is the real load minus
tackle and hook block. The button "TARE" has to be actuated be-
fore starting the lifting procedure.
Upon actuation of the button "TARE" (8) the load display is set to
zero (tared) and the tare symbol (see #G, chapter 3.4) starts to
blink. When the load is lifted, the load display shows the net load
(payload).
As soon as the working radius (by angle or radius modification) is
modified, the display shows again the real load and the taring
function is completed.
NOTE
The real load contains hook block, lifting rope and all tackle. The net load is the present
load on the hook without tackle. Display errors can be caused by environmental influences
such as wind acting on boom or load.

A Overload Symbol
This red symbol is permanently lit. It will flash when the load on the
crane is in excess of 100% of the crane rating.
B Prewarning Symbol
This yellow symbol is permanently lit. It will flash when the load on
the crane is between 90% and 100% of the crane rating, indicating
that an overload condition is approaching
The term "two block" is a crane term which refers to a condition which occurs when the hook block
comes into contact with the boom head. This condition, if not prevented, will cause the wire rope to
break, allowing the load to fall. Two blocking can be caused by raising the load into the boom head,
lowering the boom without paying out hoist line and, in case of a hydraulic crane, by extending the
boom without paying out hoist line.

4. PROGRAMMING
Upon switching on the system it is necessary to enter the operating parameters corresponding to the
actual equipment of the crane. Here, the correct inputs by the crane operator is of utmost importance.
This procedure consists of two parts:
· Programming of the LMI to the rigging state of the crane using the correct operating code for the
selected load chart
· Enter the reeving corresponding the actual reeving
The key operating mode (6) serves to adjust the LMI to the rigging condition of the crane. The re-
quired operating code is indicated in the load chart.
WARNING
The correct setting of the Operating Code Switch is of utmost importance for the proper
function of the system and the crane. Therefore, only crane operators who are thoroughly
familiar with crane load capacity charts and the use and operation of the system shall set
the Operating Code Switch.
a) Please refer to the operating mode for the code number and to the load chart for the "operating
code".
This number is indicated in the load chart, such as "on outriggers", "on rubber", "with jib", etc..
b) Note the code number corresponding to the crane configuration.
c) Start programming by pressing button (6) "operating mode". The key lights up.
During the programming, the system temporarily interrupts the crane movements. Furthermore, pilot
lamps (2) and (4) light up.
d) Enter the code number on the numerical keypad (14). The code number is shown on data dis-
play K.
e) Confirm the input by pressing „C“ (15), or enter again the number.
The entered operating mode code is confirmed by pressing key „C“. The input becomes valid upon ac-
knowledgment. Upon acknowledgment, the key is normally lit again.

Prior to operating the crane, the following electrical connections must be checked to ensure that the
system is properly connected for the crane configuration.
If the crane works only with the boom and without boom extension, no additional connections are
necessary. However, be sure the weight of the anti two-block switch is properly installed on the main
hoist load line. With even parts of hoisting line, the weight shall be attached to the dead-end line. With
odd parts of hoisting line, the weight shall be attached to the line of lowest speed.
If the crane works with boom extension, the connecting cable shall be installed between the junction
box on the boom extension and the boom junction box. The weight attached to the main hoist anti
two-block switch shall be removed. In that case the anti two-block switch has to be locked with the red
Anti Two-Block Retainer, which is fixed with a red lanyard at the anti two-block switch (described on
page 16). Then the weight shall be reattached to the boom extension anti two-block switch.
WARNING
Failure to re-position the anti two-block switch weight will prevent the overhoist system
from functioning properly. No weight shall be on the main hoist anti two-block switch when
the boom extension is being used.
If the boom extension is not in the operating position, the by-pass plug shall be installed in the main
boom junction box. The weight of the main hoist anti two-block switch shall be installed.
If the boom extension is in the operating position, the connecting cable shall be installed between the
junction boxes on the boom extension and the main boom. Weights shall also be attached to the anti
two-block switches on both the main boom and boom extension.
If the boom extension is in the operating position and no load line is being used on main boom, to
prevent injury or damage to equipment, the weight shall be removed from main boom switch. In that
case the anti two-block switch has to be locked with the red Anti Two-Block Retainer, which is fixed
with a red lanyard (not shown) at the anti two-block switch.

19_1272E.DOC / 2001-04-02 / Rev. C / ko.
After the electrical connections have been checked to insure that the system is properly connected for
the crane configuration, the following checks shall be made:
1. Check the electrical wiring connecting the various parts of the system for physical damage.
2. Check the anti two-block switches and weights for free movement.
3. Check the spring-loaded cable reel to be sure it is free to rotate, has tension and the cable is
reeled properly.
WARNING
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.
If the operator cannot see the load handling device approaching the boom nose, he shall have an
assistant (signal person) watch the load handling device. The operator shall be prepared to stop the
machine immediately should the LMI system not function properly as indicated by lighting the red
warning light, sounding the audible alarm and locking the crane movements, hoist up, (telescope out)
and boom down.
Check the anti two-block alarm light and the audible alarm by performing one of the following tests:
1. By manually lifting the weight attached to the anti two-block switches. When the weight is lifted, the
audible alarm should sound, the anti two-block alarm light should light.
2. Slowly raise the main boom load handling device to create a potential two-block condition. When
the load handling device lifts the weight, the audible alarm should sound, the anti two- block alarm
light (2) should light and the motion of the load handling device should be stopped. Lower the load
handling device slightly to eliminate this condition.
3. Slowly lower the boom to create a potential two-block condition. When the load handling device
lifts the weight, the audible alarm should sound, the anti two-block alarm light should light and the
boom lowering function should be stopped. Lower the load handling device slightly to eliminate this
condition.
4. Slowly extend (telescope) the boom to create a potential two-block condition. When the load han-
dling device lifts the weight, the audible alarm should sound, the anti two-block alarm light should
light and the boom telescope out function should be stopped. Lower the load handling device
slightly to eliminate this condition.

WARNING
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 shall be corrected before op-
erating the crane.
5. If the crane is equipped with a boom extension, repeat the test procedure for the boom extension
anti two-block switch.
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 angles.
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.
5.1 OPERATION
After being properly checked, the LMI is operational. The operator shall be thoroughly familiar with all
controls of the LMI and he shall properly set the Reeving Switch (external unit) before operating the
crane. The proper function of the system shall be checked by lifting a load of known weight and com-
paring the load to the information displayed on the LMI.
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.
WARNING
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 re-verification of the
crane's LMI calibration.
WARNING
Any structural modifications or changes to the crane shall require re-verification of the
crane's LMI calibration.

PAMPHLET 1 Cut-off Values for Boom Cranes with Variable Capacity depending
on Variable Radius
The crane cut-off values are calculated by us on the basis of the load charts and construction drawings supplies
by the crane manufacturers.
These theoretical cut-off values must be checked by testing the crane with weighed test loads in all operating
modes and at least in the following equipment conditions depending on the crane type.
· Cranes with fixed boom length during operation:
Minimum, medium and maximum radius with shortest, medium and longest boom length as well as with
shortest, medium and longest jib length with these boom lengths.
· Cranes with variable boom length during operation:
Minimum, medium and maximum radius at each length step as well as with all jibs.
The LMI is an operational aid which warns a crane operator of approaching overload conditions and also warns
of overhoist 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
the crane/SLI 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 the manual.
WARNING
This system can be equipped with an override key on the central micro-processor unit. This
key switch bypasses cut-off functions of the load moment indicator device. The switch may
only be used by authorized personnel during emergency situations. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in property damage and/or personal injury.

The boom crane delivered to you has a safe load indicator (overload cut-off device) according to §24 of the accident preven-
tion regulation UVV "boom cranes" which will cut off the hoist and boom hoist unit of the crane when exceeding the admissi-
ble safe load. The opposite movement must remain possible in order to be able to relieve the crane of the load after the safe
load indicator has reacted, e.g. it must be possible to lower the load when the hoist was cut off.
Installation of a safe load indicator (overload cut-off device) has the purpose to prevent the crane from lifting a load which
would endanger its stability. Hence the safe load indicator (overload cut-off device) is an emergency switch which, in the
event of overload, cuts off all movements increasing the load moment thus avoiding a possible damage or accident. The
following must be observed for the safe load indicator to comply with its function as a safety device.
1. Safe load indicators (overload cut-off devices) must not be used operationally to cut off the hoist or boom hoist unit. The
crane operator must in any case previously make sure that the load to be lifted will not exceed the lifting capacity of the
crane. Superheavy loads exceeding the lifting capacity of the crane must not be lifted even with a safe load indicator in-
stalled. The unit must not be loaded beyond the respectively admissible load.
2. Freeing loads which are stuck may only be effected in agreement with the crane manufacturer and with cranes especially
equipped for this purpose. During these jobs it is not allowed to use the safe load indicator (overload cut-off device) as an
operational unit for force measurements.
3. The built-in safe load indicator must be regularly serviced and checked as to its functional safety before starting opera-
tion. According to the accident prevention regulation UVV "boom cranes" §35 maintenance of the crane also includes
regular checks of the safe load indicator.
4. Generally, the safe load indicator does not adjust automatically to the various operating conditions of the crane. When
changing the operating condition of the crane, the operator is therefore responsible of changing the safe load indicator
over to the new load or load moment range as well. For this purpose, observe the manufacturers operating instructions
for the safe load indicator installed. Safe operation of the device and accident-free operation of the crane depend to a
high extent on careful observance of this instruction. Maladjusted safe load indicators, e.g. set to a high load moment
with retracted outriggers, are much more dangerous than cranes without a safe load indicator since the crane operator is
given a wrong feeling of safety which might be the cause of serious accidents.
5. When changing the crane over to various operating conditions, the safe load indicator installed must be changed over to
the new load or safe load ranges resp. by the crane operator, e.g.:
a) when extending or retracting the outriggers (changing over to high or little load moment);
b) when changing the boom length by:

19_1272E.DOC / 2001-04-02 / Rev. C / ko.
6. It must be strictly pointed out that due to wrong operation of the crane it might not be possible for the safe load indicator
to respond or resp. that the engine might not be cut off quickly enough. In this case you cannot exclude an accident de-
spite of a safe load indicator installed.
In particular, this applies to:
- underhooking the load or the load handling accessories;
- excessive retardation forces,
- loads falling into the line,
- diagonal pull,
- moving the crane to an area of higher gradient,
- yielding ground,
- wind pressure.
7. If there is a device available to switch off or bridge the safe load indicator (load moment limiting system), it must only be
used with regard to special measures of precaution and in presence of the crane super-intendance, for instance when
testing the crane and for special applications provided for by the crane manufacturer. The safe load indicator must not
be switched off or bridged operationally under no circumstances in order to lift loads which exceed the respectively ad-
missible loading capacity of the crane.
Careful observance of the regulations contained in this instructional pamphlet and in the operating in-
structions of the crane manufacturer is the precondition for the safe function of the safe load indicator
(overload cut-off device).
In all cases of doubt consult the operating instructions of the manufacturer. Should this be not suffi-
cient, it is necessary to inquire at the company concerned.
Unauthorized interventions in the mechanism of the safe load indicator will void the warranty.

Electromagnetic fields increasingly affect electronic systems and can thus cause malfunctions for whose elimi-
nation we shall indicate some preventive measures according to today's state of engineering below:
1. The preventive measures are mainly based upon the idea to shield the electronic circuits from irradiated
high frequency interferences:
- All components will have metal housings outside with grounding possibility;
- The cables used will have braided shields. The shield applied must be highly conductive as to the sur-
face of all junction areas;
- Coupling of crane ground and electronic ground at only one point of the system.
2. The general measures listed in item 1, however, cannot ensure complete protection against electromag-
netic fields in individual cases because the size and the type of the effect depends on the local conditions.
With unfavorable conditions you can therefore not do without taking any measures exceeding the preven-
tive ones experimentally on site, taking into account the principles mentioned in item 1, e.g.:

PAMPHLET 5 Notes for Protection of Labour During Repair of Display and Oper-
ating Consoles
Possible risks are chemical reactions because of skin contact with broken LCD displays. In
case of contact with chemicals, carefully clean the parts of body affected with soap. Cau-
tion in case of open wounds.
In order to avoid radio interferences, high frequency devices and systems subject to the general approval the
Federal Minister of the Post Office and Telecommunication published in the gazette no. 163/1984 as order no.
1045/1984 and no. 1046/1984 have to observe the limits and requirements stipulated.
In case of display and operator's console without closed metal housing (panel-mounted) type, the cable shield
must be applied via a bare clamp on the panel directly in front of the console.
