Page 7: General Information
General Information 1 GENERAL INFORMATION The PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) DS 350 has been designed to provide the crane operator with the essential information required to operate the machine within its design parameters. Using different sensing devices, the Load Moment Indicator monitors various crane functions and provides the operator with a continuous reading of the crane’s capacity.
Page 8: System Description
Operator's Manual DS 350 / 1319 3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The PAT Load Moment Indicator DS 350 consists of a central micro processor unit, operating console, length/angle sensor, pressure transducers, and anti-two block switches. The system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The real value, resulting from the pressure measurement is compared with the reference data, stored in the central processor memory and evaluated in the micro processor.

Page 10: System Function
Operator's Manual DS 350 / 1319 SYSTEM FUNCTION Upon switching on, the system starts with an automatic test of the LMI system, of lamps and audible alarm. During the test, the LC display shows the initial logo. If the system was turned off for more than two hours, the setup configuration has to be entered after the system test.
Page 11: Operating Console
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OPERATING CONSOLE The console has 3 functions: • inputs by the crane operator (operating mode, reeving) • input of geometry limit values and signalization of exceeded limit values • display of important data and information The operator’s console is mounted in the crane’s cab in the operator’s field of vision. For a better identification of displays and operating elements, they are continuously backlit during operation.

Page 38: Pre-Operation Inspection And Calibration Verification
Operator's Manual DS 350 / 1319 6 PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND CALIBRATION VERIFICATION Before operating the crane, the following electrical connections must be checked to ensure that the system is properly connected for the crane configuration. MACHINES WITH ONLY A MAIN HOIST If the crane works only with the boom and without boom extension, no additional connections are necessary.
Page 39: Installation Of Anti Two-Block Retainer In Locking Position
Pre-Operation Inspection and Calibration Verification INSTALLATION OF ANTI TWO-BLOCK RETAINER IN LOCKING POSITION Procedure (see Fig. 1 and 2): 1. Pull the cable out of the switch and bend back parallel to the boom and hold (1). 2. Slide the retainer from left side with its slot over the cable between the crimped stop and the switch (2). Push it firmly straight onto the cable guide of the Anti Two-Block switch (3).
Page 40: Pre-Operation Inspection And Calibration Verification
Operator's Manual DS 350 / 1319 PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND CALIBRATION VERIFICATION After the electrical connections have been checked to insure that the system is properly connected for the crane configuration, the following checks shall be made: 1. Check the electrical wiring connecting the various parts of the system for physical damage. 2.
Page 41 Pre-Operation Inspection and Calibration Verification If the light and audible alarm do not function as described and the crane movements are not stopped, the system is not working properly. The malfunction shall be corrected before operating the crane. 2. If the crane is equipped with a boom extension, repeat the test procedure for the boom extension anti two-block switch.
Page 42: Operation
Operator's Manual DS 350 / 1319 7 OPERATION Upon correct inspection the LMI is operational. The operator shall be thoroughly familiar with all controls of the LMI before operating the crane. The proper function of the system shall be checked by lifting a load of known weight and comparing the load to the information displayed on the LMI.
Page 43: Service And Maintenance
Service and Maintenance 8 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE Daily maintenance of the load moment indicator consists of inspecting: 1. The electrical wiring connecting the various parts of the system. If electrical wiring is damaged, it shall be replaced immediately. 2. If the insulation is worn on the length sensor cable or cable guides are damaged, these parts shall be replaced.
Page 44: Troubleshooting
