MAXMUM RATED CAPACITY (1)

 

is the maximum permitted capacity of the 
crane. This value, which appears digitally in 
the left display, is derived from a copy of the 
crane's capacity chart stored in the memory 
of the computer.  

MAXIMUM RATED CAPACITY is the 
reference capacity for any lifting operation 
and is dependent on the crane configuration 
currently selected. The currently selected 
configuration must be the same as the actual 
configuration. The current selection may be 
viewed in the lower right display. The crane 
configuration determines the section of the 
capacity chart used as the capacity 
reference. If the MAXIMUM RATED 
CAPACITY is limited by parts-of-line, the 
DISPLAYED MAXIMUM RATED CAPACITY 

is the ROPE CAPACITY and the message, ROPE LIMIT will        appear in the information area (4). 

The 

BAR GRAPH (2)

 is an analog BAR GRAPH that shows the amount of crane capacity being used 

and the rate at which an overload is being approached. This BAR GRAPH in conjunction with the 100% 
capacity marker visually indicates when an overload point is reached. 

PERCENT OF RATED CAPACITY

 

(3)

 is shown as a digital read out in which Actual Load appears as 

a percentage of Maximum Rated Capacity. For percentages less than 100%, the read out will be at the 
right side of the bar graph. For percentages over 87%, the display will move to the center of the bar graph 
to make space for the leading edge of the bar graph. 

The 

INFORMATION AREA (4) 

provides the operator with a visual indicator of the various alarms that 

may occur during normal operation of the system. For example, PRE-ALARM, OVERLOAD, ATB ALARM, 
or ROPE LIMIT.  

ACTUAL LOAD (5)

 is a digital display that shows the total load suspended below the boom or jib head.  

It includes the load, slings, pins, or tackle used to secure the load, and the hook block. Using the 
STOWED DEDUCT button, the operator can "tare out” the slings and hook (see page 9).
