General Information GENERAL INFORMATION The PRS 40 EZ System has been designed to provide indication from various types of sensors, i.e. A2B, Load, Wind and Angle. The A2B system will warn the crane operator of a two-blocking condition of the crane. If a two-blocking condition is approached, the system will warn the operator by sounding an audible alarm, flashing the backlit LCD and locking out those functions which may aggravate the crane's condition, whenever applicable.
