1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The PAT Length-Angle-Radius-Load Indicator System EI 65 has been designed to provide the
crane operator with the essential information required to enable the machine to be used
within its design parameters. The EI 65 System indicates the length and angle of the boom,
tip height, working radius and the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane.
Using various sensing devices, the EI 65 System warns the crane operator of certain
approaching hazardous conditions which could occur during the operation of his crane.
The purpose of this operator's manual is to provide information to help him operate, maintain
and troubleshoot the PAT System.
The manual contains the system description, operating, and calibration information.
2. WARNINGS
Always refer to operational instructions and load charts provided by the
crane manufacturer for specific crane operation and load limits.
