    55M4000BCE00 REV A Provided password is used the calibration menu will remain accessible until the system is powered off. The password will be required every time the menu is selected after a power on. Your password number is: 98765 2.2 Step #2: “Enable/Disable sensor” Setting Note: these settings reflect the configuration of your system and will generally be made during factory testing prior to delivery and should not need changing.

    55M4000BCE00 REV A 2.4 Step #4: “Load data” Entry Note: these settings reflect the configuration of your system when a load sensor is fitted and will generally be made during factory testing prior to delivery and should not need changing. Some or all of this information may be pre-loaded prior to delivery but all entries should be verified and edited as required before proceeding.
  • Page 11 55M4000BCE00 REV A After selecting “limits setting” from the main calibration menu the screen will show: Set the approach gap for each limit in turn, angle approach gaps are in degrees, length, radius and height gaps are set using the calibration units. 1- In the calibration menu, scroll down to the item "Limits data:".

If the wind speed goes over this approach gap an intermittent audible alarm will be activated and the yellow display LED will blink.  App Rotation(if Rotation sensor fitted) : This variable represents an approach warning gap before to reach the slew limit set by the operator in the normal mode. If the slew goes over this approach gap an intermittent audible alarm will be activated and the yellow display LED will blink.
  • Page 13 55M4000BCE00 REV A Main boom geometry: Note sign convention: All dimensions shown positive except cf, the centreline of slew is generally in front of the boom pivot pin in which case cf is negative. If any other dimension falls the opposite side of it’s datum line shown in the diagrams then it’s sign will change eg if the boom foot pin is above the centreline of the boom then cl8 will be negative etc.

These switches are factory set prior to dispatch and will not normally require changing. Please refer to the wiring diagram to see the address dip switch setting for each angle sensor interface.

  • Page 18: Step #10: "Zero Sensor/Span Sensor" Length Sensor Calibration

    55M4000BCE00 REV A Zero angle calibration: Ensure the correct side of boom setting has been made before setting the zero datum, if the side of boom setting is changed then the zero setting must be repeated. 1) Use “” or “” to choose “Zero” and press “”. 2) Boom down to zero degrees (main boom horizontal) using a precision angle measure to accurately establish the true angle of the base boom section.
  • Page 19 55M4000BCE00 REV A 4) Retract the boom completely. The sensor’s value must be approximately 100 bits (0,50 volts; adjust the potentiometer inside the cable reel if necessary). 5) Edit the zero value: when the boom is completely retracted, the value must be set to zero.

  • Page 20: Step #11: "Zero Load/Span Load" Sensor Calibration

    55M4000BCE00 REV A 3.3 Step #11: “Zero load/Span load” sensor calibration When calibrating load sensors, always slowly hoist and stop the test loads smoothly in order to eliminate errors in the load reading due to frictional effects. The frictional effect on dynamometer (line rider) systems will cause the displayed load to decrease when lowering the load and to increase when hoisting the load.
  • Page 21 55M4000BCE00 REV A Zero load calibration: 1) Use “” or “” to choose “Zero” and press “”. To zero the load sensor, position the boom at a safe radius for the large test load but attach and slowly lift the small test load until it is just clear of the ground. The reading on the Sensor value is in bits and the maximum scale value is 4095.

    55M4000BCE00 REV A 3.4 Step #12: “Rotation” sensor calibration This sensor is available if the range limiting feature is fitted to the system, in this case a sensor is used to monitor the slew position of the crane. Encoder type: This will be factory set and should not be changed in “Enable/ Disable sensors”.

The system will give a value in terms of bits for single 360° rotation of the crane, only if you have selected a multi-turn encoder as 33S0047, otherwise the value stays at zero.

    55M4000BCE00 REV A 3.5 Step #13: “Unloaded boom deflection” This procedure is used to add an allowance into the calculation of the hook radius to compensate for natural main boom deflection. This procedure should only be used with machine configurations on outriggers or on crawlers.

    55M4000BCE00 REV A 2) Accurately measure the actual radius of the hook block from the centre line of slew of the machine. 3) Use “” or “” to adjust the Corr.: x.x value until the displayed radius equals the measured radius, note that the indicated radius can only be increased, not decreased.
  • Page 27 55M4000BCE00 REV A With the hook block suspended, telescope the boom out to the target length specified on the display, this is normally the maximum length available for the duty so be sure to check that the hook block does not foul the boom tip and that the boom is at a high enough angle to safely permit maximum extension.

  • Page 28: Step #15: "Transfer" Calibration Backup

    A copy of the calibration file can be made at any time after completing a calibration step and should be made once the final calibration is completed. Note a USB memory stick must be connected to connector ‘UBB’ of the i4000 display unit using a Deutsch to USB converter lead (RaycoWylie part no. 33V0338) before proceeding.

  • Page 29: Transfer" Restoring Calibration

    #16 as a precaution before continuing. If in doubt consult Rayco Wylie. A copy of the calibration and/or load chart files can be restored to the i4000 system at any time. Note a USB memory stick must be connected to connector ‘USB’ of the i4000 display unit using a Deutsch to USB converter lead (RaycoWylie part no.

Init all memory Select this option to re-initialize the system memory, a warning screen will be displayed to ask for confirmation, if confirmed all calibration data will be deleted.
