    Lift mode, the blue beacon will cycle on and off at 2 second intervals.  Balfour Beatty Indicators - Optionally the 3RCi system may be fitted with an additional two indicator lamps on the side of the cab. These are coloured red and white. The white indicator lamp mimics the blue beacon as described above while the red indicator will illuminate when the system is not in a lifting configuration (i.e.

  • Page 12: On/Off Tracking And Rail Gear Interlocks

    ON/OFF Tracking and rail gear interlocks (optional) The 3RCI may control the deployment of the rail-gear to ensure that a dangerous situation cannot occur where the braked road wheels are not in contact with either the ground or the rail wheels.

    When the machine has the axles locked then drive is cut and the machine will not be allowed to travel. The 3RCI will also cut drive in an overload state, or when the brake air pressure is detected as low.

  • Page 15: Height Restriction

    USE AT SPEED MAY RESULT IN AN OVERSHOOT INTO A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POSITION. The height restriction functions in the GKD 3RCI continually monitor the highest part of the machine. If the highest part of the machine should exceed the pre programmed height restriction then the appropriate motion cut signals will be activated.
  • Page 16 Select “YES“ to set the restriction. The height limit will be set based on the highest point of the machine equipment. You may exit from this screen without setting a height restriction by selecting the “NO” button. M3000001 GKD Technik Ltd...

    This includes setting a new limit when the machine is already outside the set limit. The 3RCI system will cut any hydraulic function that will allow travel further outside the set limit being exceeded, and will allow all hydraulic functions that will cause the machine to move back into a “safe”...

  • Page 22: Calculator

    Calculator The 3RCi has a calculator function built in which allows the operator or crane planner to determine the lift capacity of the machine in the event of an unforeseen (unplanned) lift. By pressing the calculator button on the MENU screen, the lift conditions may be typed in to check the lift capacity of the machine.

  • Page 23: Dig Mode

    Lift Point Selection 3RCI supports multiple lift points. If multiple lift points have been set up, from the “Restrictions” page, press the bottom left button to cycle through the available lift points.

  • Page 24: Override Key Switch

    “straight”, normal lift duties are allowed. When the boom is not detected as “straight”, the 3RCI will impose a capacity restriction of typically 700kg, to prevent potential overturns caused by forces imposed when lifting with the boom in an offset position.

  • Page 25: Spaceguard System

    SpaceGuard Systems Introduction The 3RCI SpaceGuard system adds dual sensing and processing of machine component position to the standard system. This allows the system to provide improved electronic stops for the height and slew limits and for virtual walls. There are two independent angle sensors fitted to each of the stub boom, fore boom and dipper.
  • Page 26 There may be occasions when the safety mismatch occurs at start up due to slew angle differences accumulated during shut down. Use the override button to slew round past the reset sensor on the floating end (0°) of the machine. Once the slew is synchronized the machine may be operated normally. M3000001 GKD Technik Ltd...
  • Page 27 Offset Boom or Swing Boom machines Where a GKD 3RCI SpaceGuard system is installed onto a machine with a swing boom or swivel boom, additional protection is provided to ensure that the boom is in the “straight ahead” position when working with positional limits.
