Operator's Manual GB

Supervision of spools
If a valve spool movement is greater than the
equivalent lever or joystick movement on the
controller, a safety function is tripped, and all
crane movements stops.
This occurs if a control lever on the valve is
moved while the remote control is engaged.
OPS Operator Protection System [option]
OPS is a system that protects the operator from
the boom system's movements when operating
the crane.
The OPS system is integrated in the control
system, and it uses a sensor on the slewing
system and tilt indicators on the boom system, to
indicate the position of the crane.
It creates a virtual cage around the area where the
crane operator stands, while manually operating
the crane.
APO Automatic power off
APO is a function which automatically switches
off the power to the control system. It consists of:
1. Timeout controlled power off. (30 minutes
by default).
2. Parking brake controlled power off.
Through the vehicle’s parking brake, APO
offers a safety function which ensures that
the control system is off when the vehicle
is moving. When parking brake is released,
the control system receives a signal and
shuts OFF.
For emergency operation
During 5 seconds, it is possible to activate
the control system by pressing the ON/OFF
button on the user panel.
