The alarm light may not appear on the screen of the LSI-Robway RCI-1502 HRT if there is a grounding issue. Specifically, if the unit is on alarm but no error code is shown and the ATB LED is ON, you should check the “earth lead” from the display for proper grounding to the crane chassis. If the grounding is correct, then check the ATB switch and cable for faults.

If the LSI-Robway RCI-1502 HRT mounted LMI screen is not displaying even though the control box ignition switch is on, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check for Data Logger Control Error: If the screen hangs during boot-up and does not complete startup, it may be due to a corrupted internal data logger. This can happen after software upgrades or memory chip (Dallas IC) replacement.
2. Use Override Key: Insert and turn the override (bypass) key ON.
3. Press ENTER: Press the ENTER button. The display should show “YES” to confirm.
4. Confirm with ENTER: While “YES” is shown, press ENTER again. The unit should enter the normal initialization/setup routine and then switch to normal operating mode.
5. Check Power Supply: Ensure that the input voltage is within the range of 10 VDC to 40 VDC and that power consumption is under 1 amp.
6. Verify Grounding: Ensure the display unit is properly earthed. If a good earth connection via the mounting bracket is not guaranteed, use the earthing wire attached to the base of the display. Improper grounding may cause display issues due to Radio Frequency Interference.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, further inspection of wiring and components may be needed.

5.2. Configuring User Variables LSI-Robway stores the load-charts, crane geometry, default alarm and motion control settings, default da ta logging parameters, fine-tuning settings, and other useful user variables in the memory of the RCI-1502 at the time of manufacture. As this information may vary from crane to crane, even if they are of the same model, the RCI- 1502 allows the installer to change these variables on site.

Mounted LMI screen, connect cable, control box ignition switch on light on digitech doesn't on the screen.
If the LSI-Robway RCI-1502 HRT mounted LMI screen is not displaying even though the control box ignition switch is on, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check for Data Logger Control Error: If the screen hangs during boot-up and does not complete startup, it may be due to a corrupted internal data logger. This can happen after software upgrades or memory chip (Dallas IC) replacement.
2. Use Override Key: Insert and turn the override (bypass) key ON.
3. Press ENTER: Press the ENTER button. The display should show “YES” to confirm.
4. Confirm with ENTER: While “YES” is shown, press ENTER again. The unit should enter the normal initialization/setup routine and then switch to normal operating mode.
5. Check Power Supply: Ensure that the input voltage is within the range of 10 VDC to 40 VDC and that power consumption is under 1 amp.
6. Verify Grounding: Ensure the display unit is properly earthed. If a good earth connection via the mounting bracket is not guaranteed, use the earthing wire attached to the base of the display. Improper grounding may cause display issues due to Radio Frequency Interference.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, further inspection of wiring and components may be needed.
