    The error codes are listed in Section 4, Error Codes. The table identify various faults that can occur with the EI65, explain each fault, and describe the action which shall be taken to correct the fault.
  • Page 6: Warnings

    EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 2. WARNINGS • The EI65 is an operational aid which warns a crane operator of certain approaching hazardous 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.
  • Page 7 EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3. TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHARTS This section explains how to handle a problem that may arise with the EI65, PAT Load Indicator System. The procedures are easy to follow and are given in flowcharts on the following pages. Start with the general flowchart below which will guide you to one of the detailed flowcharts shown in this section.
  • Page 8: No Display

    EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3.1 NO DISPLAY PROBLEM: Blank console display with no warning light shown. Start Check fuse F1 in console. Refer to Drawing 2, Connection Board, Section 5. Drawings. Correct? Replace fuse (2amp/250V) Measure crane voltage on connection board between X1:1 (+UB) and X1:3 (ground).
  • Page 9: Anti-Two Block Problem

    EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3.2 ANTI TWO BLOCK PROBLEM PROBLEM: Function of Anti-Two-Block System is faulty. START Check to see whether or not crane is in two-block condition. Correct? Lower hook down into safe position Check weight position. Refer to Operator's Section of Handbook 031-300-190-015 Section 5.
  • Page 10 EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3.2 ANTI TWO BLOCK PROBLEM - continued Continued from previous page. PREVIOUS PAGE With power off, measure the A2B signal in the console at the X1:9 and X1:10. With the switch weight in position the ohm meter reads 4.7K ohms.
  • Page 11: Angle Reading Problem

    EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3.3 ANGLE READING PROBLEM PROBLEM: Displayed Angle Incorrect. Actual measured angle is different from displayed angle. START Use a calibrated inclinometer to measure the actual main boom angle and compare with displayed angle on console. Refer to Drawing 5. Angle Sensor Adjustment in Section 5. Drawings.
  • Page 12: Load Reading Problem

    EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3.4 LOAD READING PROBLEM PROBLEM: Displayed Load is out of tolerance. The displayed load should be equal to or 10% greater than the actual load. START Complete Pre-Operation Inspection in Section 5 of the Calibration Section of the Operator's and Calibration Handbook 031-300-190-015.
  • Page 13 EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 3.4 LOAD READING PROBLEM - continued Previous Page Remove hoist rope so there is no load on the load cell of the linerider. Check the zero point of the Linerider on connection board between Main X1:26 (+sig) and X1:27 (-sig) Aux X1:30 (+sig) and X1:31 (-sig) Voltage = 0 ±0.025V...

    EI65 TROUBLESHOOTING HANDBOOK 5. DRAWING 9, LINERIDER SUPPLY VOLTAGES The supply voltage can be checked directly at the cannon connection. Using a digital volt meter measure between pins A and B, (A= +9v) + (B= -9v) = 18volts. If this voltage is not correct refer to the system wiring diagram and verify all cable connections.
