Page 6: System Identification
562100-000, Issue 1.3 January 2022 3. System Identification The PME system provides an envelope safety function All safety functions are achieved through real time monitoring of some or all of the machine’s moving parts (booms, other articulations, turret etc) and its environment (ground pitch and inclination, load etc) and actively determining the safety of the current operation where appropriate limits have been set. -

Page 8: Mec Override
562100-000, Issue 1.3 January 2022 4.1. MEC Override The system can optionally be fitted with a key operated master override switch. To access the master override switch, a tamper detection device must be broken and the operation of this switch will be automatically logged. Turning the switch to the override position will allow normal operation of any of the hydraulic services regardless of safety status. -
Page 9: Operating Instructions
562100-000, Issue 1.3 January 2022 5. Operating Instructions 5.1. Power Up The PME system automatically powers up when the machine ignition is switched on. The in-cab display incorporates a 4.3” high resolution LCD display and is controlled with three buttons at each side. - Page 10 562100-000, Issue 1.3 January 2022 If the system is fitted with a supervisor key switch (see section 5.4), this key must be turned to the SET position to disable/enable the Height Limiter function. If a safety function is unavailable – for example due to a system or sensor fault – this will be made apparent to the operator from this screen.
