OPERATOR PROGRAMMABLE ALARMS
WORK AREA SELECTION MODE
This alarm permits the operator to define an Operating Zone by only two set points. The use of this
method of setting results in an enhanced working area and defines the Exclusion Zone area more
simply. The following diagram illustrates the Operating Zone and the Exclusion Zone.
The operator defined work area alarm will define an imaginary vertical plane between two set
points. When passing the plane the red warning lamp will illuminate, the alarm will sound and the
message “EXCLUSION ZONE” will flash on the display.
WARNING!
The operator defined work area alarm is a warning device. All functions remain operational
when entering the operator defined Exclusion Zone. “Safe Working Distance” is the time it
would take an operator to react to an alarm and for the machine motion to be halted before
entering the Exclusion Zone. It is the responsibility of the operator to set points that ensure
that the cranes boom, attachment, load, rigging etc. maintains a safe working distance from
the obstacle.
Do not position the boom, attachment, load, rigging etc. in the Exclusion Zone when moving to Set
Points 1 and 2. When selecting Set Points 1 and 2, ensure the load will maintain a safe distance
