Calibration Manual Mentor EI 65 3 ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR CALIBRATION: 3.1 Prior to powering up the system, verify all wiring. It is not necessary to wire the unused analog input channels. 3.2 Mechanically set the length and angle sensors as follows: (See Appendix A. Mechanical Adjustment for Sensors). - Page 9 ESSENTIAL INFORMATION FOR CALIBRATION: B O O M F O O T P IV O T P IN D IM C D IM B D IM A C E N T E R L IN E R O T A T IO N G R O U N D F IG U R E 1 .

Calibration 4 CALIBRATION 4.1. Power up the system, the screen will display Mentor EI 65 and the software revision. 4.2. Within 5 seconds, press the “i” button in order to start calibration. The screen will change to “CALIB. PASSWORD”. If this button is not pressed the screen then changes to the existing operating configuration. - Page 12 Calibration Manual Mentor EI 65 4.7.3. RADIUS OFFSET - This is the horizontal measurement between the boom foot pivot pin and the centerline of rotation, as taken in Step 3.3.B. If the boom foot pivot pin is located behind the centerline of rotation, the value needs to be entered as a positive.
- Page 13 Calibration 4.9. CONFIG EXTENSION - This section configures two extensions with minimum and maximum length, a minimum and maximum angle (OFFSET MIN/MAX) for the second extension (LENGTH 2), and whip extension or variable angled extension with angle sensor. Use Figures 2 through 5 to help identify your configuration. Press “OK” and proceed by entering extension lengths, angle, and calibrating whip extension angle.

Enter luffing extension as Length 2 minimum and maximum and set whip extension angle sensor.) 4.9.1. _1 - Press the arrows “UP or “DOWN” to display the length. Press “OK” JIB LGTH to enter length.
- Page 15 Calibration NOTE WHEN SETTING THE FORCE – There are 2 possible sets of minimum and maximum load data when calibrating the force sensors. The first set of load data is used to calibrate the force sensor at single or minimum parts of line and must be completed.
- Page 16 Calibration Manual Mentor EI 65 4.12.1. FORCE 1 ZERO – With no load on the hook block, use the arrows “UP or DOWN” to enter the value for the minimum force on the main boom. NOTE: The total load includes the rigging, cables, and hook block. 4.12.2.
- Page 17 Calibration 4.15. Press “OK” to calibrate the KMD2 - Auxiliary linerider/load cell or press the arrow “DOWN” button to continue. 4.15.1. PARTS OF LINE - Use the arrows “UP or DOWN” to select parts of line. NOTE: For the second set of data the parts of line should be a large figure. Recommended is the maximum number of possible parts of line.
- Page 18 4.18. CALIBRATE RADIUS – This selection allows the main boom radius to be adjusted for deflection of the boom. When operating the crane in this section, special care must be taken to operate in a safe condition, since the Mentor EI65 safety checks and limits are not active at this time.
- Page 19 Care must be taken when lifting the load since the Mentor EI65 safety checks are not active at this time. 4.19.5. CAL LOADED RAD. - The loaded radius adjustment factor displayed on the top line may be adjusted using the UP and DOWN arrows.

Page 20: Operational Checks
1 . If the angle is incorrect, complete Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.6. NOTE: Use the select button to specify crane configuration before performing the following checks. See the Mentor EI65 Operators Manual. 5.2. Check the radius displayed and compare it with the measured radius. The radius is a horizontal measurement from the centerline of rotation to the center of the hook block. -
