COMMAND 01 PERSONALITY
Command 01 Personality is used to manipulate the crane calibration data. The system stores two sets of data in EEPROM IC7. A Active Personality (IC7) contains the data actually used by the main program. B Backup Personality (IC7) contains a protected copy of the calibration data.
COMMAND 01 FUNCTION
DISPLAYS THE STATUS OF THE PERSONALITY SETS. MOVES DATA BETWEEN THE TWO SETS. DELETES DATA FROM THE ACTIVE PERSONALITY. COPIES DATA TO A BACK-UP CHIP. RETRIEVES DATA FROM A BACK-UP CHIP. When the command is first selected (after copying data), both A and B sets are checked for correct Check-Sum. This is indicated on the display screen by Good or Bad. Set A is also checked against set B. Data that is identical is indicated by Same or if not the same, by Diff.
WARNING
Data can be moved using selected sub-commands and the calibration security code. Data entered may also be aborted before completion of the routine. Special care must be taken when working with the sub-commands as some of the sub-commands can cause previously entered data to be
irretrievably lost.
SUB-COMMAND 01/0 SAVE SAVES A INTO B (B DATA IS LOST). SUB-COMMAND 01/1 XCHG EXCHANGES A WITH B (DATA IS NOT LOST). SUB-COMMAND 01/2 INIT INITIALIZES A PRIOR TO NEW CALIBRATION (A DATA IS LOST). SUB-COMMAND 01/3 BACK COPIES THE ACTIVE CALIBRATION TO A BACK-UP CHIP (DATA IS NOT LOST). SUB-COMMAND 01/4 RETR RETRIEVES THE CALIBRATION FROM A BACK-UP CHIP (PREVIOUS A DATA IS LOST).
Power to the system should be switched off before inserting or removing any integrated circuits. Failure to observe this precaution may cause permanent damage to the system or its components and result in the loss of calibration data.

NUMBER ENTRY
The Microguard RCI 500 does not have number entry keys. When numerical entry of data is required, the display will change to allow the entry of numbers.
A strip like the one below will appear with numerals from 0 to 9 followed by the three symbols shown. The upper left corner identifies the Command (in this case, 06 Pressure). The upper right displays each numeral as entered until the complete number to be calibrated appears, including decimals and minus sign. The keys operate as in the calibration routines (A B C D).
06 Pressure Calibration Load 0 1 2 3
( 1.0 4 5 6 7 8 9 < <>
) -
1) When the number entry panal appears, the selectors < > will surround the zero < 0 >
numeral which will be flashing. Use key B or key D to select a numeral. If key B is pressed, the cursor will jump to the opposite end of the display panel and the selectors will surround the minus sign. With each press of key B the cursor will backtrack by one digit toward the original site 0 (zero). When key D is used, the identical process occurs in reverse.
2) When not at the starting point (0 or -), pressing key B or key D will cause the cursor to move one digit at a time toward its original site. Example: if the cursor were flashing at numeral 5, pressing key B once would cause the cursor to move one digit toward 0 (zero).
3) WHEN ENTERING A MINUS SIGN FOR A NEGATIVE VALUE, ALWAYS DO SO AFTER ALL NUMERALS HAVE BEEN SELECTED.
4) As each digit is selected, press key A to enter it into the system. The numeral will then appear in the upper right bracket. Continue entering numerals and decimal point, as appropriate, until the complete number appears in the upper right box. A total of five digits may be entered in this way. 5) If an error is made when entering a numeral, immediately select the less than symbol (<) and press key A. The number should be removed from the right upper selection box. Numbers can be removed this way one digit at a time. 6) When all digits look correct, press key C to calibrate the complete number.

Perform this Command ONLY if the crane has a swing potentiometer. Command 05 includes the scale, zero, and direction routines. These routines are usually carried out consecutively. However, zero and direction can be done in isolation of scale. When scale is redone, zero and direction must follow. SCALE Command 05 does not require the entry of measured data. Measurements of swing data are acquired automatically during the calibration of the swing sensor. However, it is essential that the crane upper be rotated slowly during this procedure. ZERO To obtain the data required for the zero of the potentiometer, the crane upper must be directly in line over the front of the crane. This applies to all crane models, lattice or hydraulic and truck or all terrain. DIRECTION Swing direction is similar to a compass. Swinging to the right increases the readings and swinging to the left decreases the readings. If the swing potentiometer is mounted so that output is in the wrong direction, use the direction command to change the displayed direction.

CONFIGURATION SELECTION
Before proceeding with further calibrations, ensure that the crane configuration setup is correct and that the calibration configuration selection is correct. The system automatically chooses the configuration last selected each time the system is powered up. The system automatically records the configuration last selected when in the normal operational mode. If changes have been made to the crane configuration, return to the normal operational mode and reenter the crane configuration data applicable to the area of change before calibrating. When changes are made after the initial calibration, only the area(s) relating to the change will require recalibration. When calibrating the main boom, always select lifting over the main boom. All calibrations pertaining to the main boom require that the operator lift and measure from the main boom.
If there is a stowed attachment on the boom, select it on the display as stowed. If nothing is stowed, select nothing stowed.
ACCESSING THE NORMAL OPERATIONAL MODE
Press A to Command 01 Run. A system safety check will begin followed by a printed warning message and a return to the normal operational mode. or Press Exit repeatedly until it no longer says Exit to access the normal operational mode.
CRANE SET UP CATEGORIES
Review the operators manual and the following categories before starting the crane setup routine on page 31.
1) Outriggers, tires, rigging/travel mode. 2) Applicable to cranes with multiple boom mode selections: active tip, modes A & B, main
boom + manual, etc. If the crane has no boom options other than the main boom, skip this step.
3) Auxiliary head, fitted or not fitted. 4) Erected attachments (see notes below). 5) Lifting point for front winch. 6) Lifting point for rear winch. Cranes equipped with one winch can omit No. 5, but still require a lifting point selection when 2 or more lift point options exist. Note: Any stowable attachment (stowed or not stowed) that will be selected for erection must first be selected as stowed.

COMMAND 06 PRESSURE
IMPORTANT: Command 06 requires special attention. If the routine directions are not followed carefully, other routines in the system can also become invalidated.
1. Select fully extended outriggers, Main Boom, & No. of Attachments (preferably none). 2. Prepare to lift a known calibration load (preferably certified) at a precise angle of 45 +/- 2 . Use 90 to 100% of the cranes capacity (as defined by the crane capacity chart) to put as much pressure as possible on the lift cylinders. This action is accomplished (depending on the capacity chart) by either extending or retracting the boom.
The calibration load includes the weight of the pins and slings but does not include the weight of the block or ball. When the load is grounded, the slings should also be grounded and not supported by the hook. When raising and lowering the load, use the winch. Do not use the boom. Before acquiring data, wait at least 10 seconds for the pressures to become stable.
CALIBRATE THE PRESSURE SPAN FOLLOWING THE STEPS ON THE NEXT PAGE.

COMMAND 07 RADIUS/MOMENT MAIN BOOM
COMMAND 07 is used to calibrate the radius and moment of the main boom. Before starting Command 07, ensure that the crane is appropriately configured and that the related data has been entered into the computer (see pages 29-33). This Command requires computer entry of the radius measured with the boom retracted at both high and low angles, and the radius measured with the boom extended to the prescribed lengths at both high and low angles. The radius is the distance between the centerline of rotation and the center of the hook load. Calibration is carried out at each length. Both high and low angle radius measurements for each length are required for the calibration to operate. This data is called store data. If this data is not stored, a warning message no data will appear requiring re-entry of this information. Radii are entered in tenths of feet. Recommend using a surveyors tape that is marked in tenths. A high angle is between 60 and 65 and will have a shorter radius. A low angle is below 20 and will have a longer radius. Entering data outside of these limits will result in the warning message, poor angle. If entered in error, Press D to abort the entry. Continue the procedure using correct keyboard entries. When this message occurs due to entry of data outside of the preferred angles, press A or B to select the desired function; then enter the radius. The routine on pages 38-41 is used for the main boom. The routine on pages 42-45 is used for the main boom + manual. Select the appropriate routine and continue. If and when calibrating the main boom + manual, first select main boom + manual as well as setting up the crane in that physical configuration. Interpretation of the display Command 07 output is as follows:
(D (
) = LOW ANGLE DATA ACQUIRED. U) = HIGH ANGLE DATA ACQUIRED.
(DU) = HIGH AND LOW ANGLE DATA ACQUIRED.

COMMAND 09 ANNULAR GAIN
There are two pressure transducers fitted in the system. One measures piston side pressure and the other measures rod side pressure. Because these are not identical cross-sectional areas, data must be entered that define the ratio of the two areas. This ratio is referred to as annular gain (a.g.). Annular gain is calculated from the rod (r) and bore (b) diameters as follows:
A.G. = [(RXR)/(BXB)] - 1
E.G. R = 8 AND B = 10 A.G. = - 0.360
Although the annular gain value is automatically entered at the time of initialization, modification of this value may be required due to differing pressure transducer sensitivities. If the load reading changes significantly when booming down, the annular gain should be changed.
TO CHANGE THE SETTING OF THE ANNULAR GAIN: 1) 2) PRESS PRESS
A TO 09 ANNULAR GAIN. C TO START THE COMMAND.

IF THE LOAD DECREASES WHEN BOOMING DOWN, PRESS THE UP ANNULAR GAIN KEY (A). IF THE LOAD INCREASES WHEN BOOMING DOWN, PRESS THE DOWN ANNULAR GAIN KEY (B).

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ABORT ALARM AMPLIFIER
Interrupts and cancels data as it is being entered into the computer. A signal that warns or alerts ( a flashing light or loud noise). A device that takes an input and produces an output of greater magnitude (as in the case of a pressure transducer where a signal in the millivolt range is amplified up to ten volts). The factor used to express the level of amplification. A mechanism in which data is represented by continuously variable physical quantities. A device that measures the angle of a boom. Relating to, or forming a ring, e.g. the pressure around the rod of a boom hoist cylinder. The factor used to modify the pressure signal from the rod side of the boom hoist cylinder based on the difference in areas of the rod and bore. Move data from the working area of memory to a microchip which is stored elsewhere, e.g. in a service department. The change of radius due to the bending of a boom under load. The turning moment around the boom pivot caused by the moment of the unladen boom. The piston side of a boom hoist cylinder. The adjustment of the graduation of sensors. A table showing the rating of a crane. The point at which the entire weight of a body may be considered as concentrated so that if supported at this point, the body would remain in equilibrium in any position.
