It can accept all types of load signals (mV, V, mA, Frequency, Abus LIS Q-Link or ControlPro Volts) and when used in conjunction with Sole Digital data loggers or load limiting systems, HiBeam connects wirelessly, eliminating the need for additional cabling.

3 INSTALLATION DETAILS 3.1 Prior to Installation Before installing your HiBeam display visually inspect the unit and check that: (a) the unit is not damaged and fits together securely; (b) cables are secure; (c) the power and signal connectors are appropriate for your application. 3.2 Wiring Details For the HiBeam to operate the following must be connected as a minimum: a.
Unless other specified at time of ordering, 7: 0-10V INPUT 1: + EXCITE your device will be provided with a 7 pin female line socket to suit the male plug on 6: +12V OUT 2: - EXCITE the device. This can be connected as shown in Figure 2.
4 COMMISSIONING DETAILS HiBeam is designed to be commissioned using a laptop computer. You will need a CASWA LINK-2 Bluetooth Modem and the Field Service Utility (FSU) software application loaded on a laptop. 4.1 Installing and Launching the FSU Application 4.1.1 FSU Program Installation Ensure that your computer is switched on, connected to the internet and that the minimum required software versions are installed (see Appendix B for minimum system requirements).
4.2 Connecting to the Device The FSU will scan for Bluetooth enabled devices. This process takes approximately 10 seconds, when complete a list of all CASWA devices within range will be displayed. If a particular HiBeam display is not found, ensure it is powered up and press <Look again> to repeat the search.

Press <Update> to update the HiBeam display to the latest available firmware version (recommended). The new firmware will be installed on the device. DO NOT switch off the computer or remove the LINK2 modem until this is complete – doing so may leave the display in an unrecoverable state.
4.4 General Tab 4.4.1 Setting Equipment Name The Display ID text is used to identify the HiBeam display when the FSU app searches for devices. It can be up to 18 characters long. NB: If the Display ID does not show the name of the HiBeam unit you selected when you connected to a device on the first FSU screen, power cycle the load display and try connecting again.
4.5 Load Input Configuration HiBeam load displays can either be used in one of two modes: (a) Direct input : the load signal is connected directly to the display, this may require the unit to be loaded and calibrated prior to usage. All standard input types (4-20mA, mV, 0-10V, AbusQ, AbusF) can be used.
4.5.2 Using/Removing a HoistNet Input HiBeam displays are now compatible with CASWA HoistNet. This means that they can obtain their load signal wirelessly from any other HoistNet enabled device , eliminating the need for long cable runs between the load cell and display. They can also sum the loads from two different hoistnet devices (e.g.
Select the desired load and press <OK>. This popup box will close. A few seconds later the former box will also close. When you return to the main FSU window the name of the bound HoistNet device will be shown on the Load screen.
If the signal is less than half of full scale, then increase the amplification by moving the gain slider to the right. 4.5.4 Units HiBeam can be configured to display the load in units of kilograms or tonnes. In tonnes mode, the display will illuminate a decimal point between the third and fourth digits (i.e.
After a brief pause the indicated load will show zero. Don’t be concerned if the indicated load changes or is slightly higher than zero; in this state the indicated load is very sensitive to both electrical noise and very small changes in applied load. Next, lift a known load with the crane.
4.6 Setting Overloads The Set Points tab lets you set the loads at which one or two load limit outputs will be triggered. In each of the Load boxes, enter the required overload in tons. For each load, select the button that corresponds to the type of fault contact being used (N/O for normally open and N/C for normally closed).

During this process you may be asked to enter parameters (e.g. rated capacity of the hoist) to verify that critical settings have been entered and have saved correctly. Any potential issues or irregularities will be described in the CheckIt Diagnostics window. Press <Close>...
APPENDIX A: COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The host sends single character commands to the device to write or query parameters. Each command must be followed by a carriage return <CR>(ASCII 13). Where the command is a query command, no arguments are sent and the device will respond with a single the requested value in ASCI text followed by a <CR>.
