• SELF-IDENTIFICATION OF AN ATTACHMENT (selector (204) in the AUTO
position)
When an attachment equipped with a self-identification sensor is installed on the
carriage, you need to shift selector (204) to the "AUTO" position; in this case the
system automatically determines the appropriate working chart for the
machine/attachment combination, thus calculating the correct stability index, the
maximum load capacity and the safe working area. Then the icon of the identified
attachment (a bucket in this case) appears in field (222) (Fig. 3).
When an attachment equipped with a self-identification sensor is installed on the
carriage but selector (204) is not shifted to the "AUTO" position, the following
activates:
- red indicator of the LED graphic bar (210)
- red indicator (219) showing the position of the load on the dynamic load chart
- warning light (54) on instrument panel (C)
- audible alarm in the cab
In this case the system locks machine controls immediately and window "X"
appears in the middle of display (D) prompting you to turn selector (204) to the
"AUTO" position (Fig. 4).
WARNING!
The attachment self-identification system is disabled if operating mode
selector (6) is in the "B" position (road travel). In this case you need to turn
selector (6) to the "A" position (movements enabled).
If the self-identification system works correctly but there is no graphic
representation of the attachment installed on the carriage, the machine signals it
by showing the corresponding symbol in field (222) of display (D) in the cab (Fig.
5).
For a better comprehension of both the self-identification system and the manual
selection of attachments a table is provided, listing all graphic representations
shown in field (222) of display (D), together with their description.
• MANUAL SELECTION OF AN ATTACHMENT (selector (204) in the 0.5/0.6 or
1.5 or 4 position)
When either an attachment not equipped with a self-identification sensor is
installed on the carriage or an error/malfunctioning occurs in the system, you
need to manually select the category the attachment belongs to by operating
selector (204) as follows (Fig. 6):
-
turn selector (204) to the "A" position (0.5/0.6) when attachments are
installed whose centre of gravity is between 0.5 and 0.6 metres ahead of the
carriage
- turn selector (204) to the "B" position (1.5) when attachments are installed
whose centre of gravity is within 1.5 metres ahead of the carriage
- turn selector (204) to the "C" position (4) when attachments are installed
whose centre of gravity is within 4 metres ahead of the carriage
In this way the machine gets ready to be used with the selected attachment
based on attachment category, determining the work chart and calculating the
correct stability index, the maximum load capacity and the safe working area.
Field (222) shows the graphic representation of the position of selector (204)
(Fig. 7)
If the selector (204) is turned to the AUTO position and an attachment not
equipped with a self-identification sensor is installed on the carriage, or an
error/malfunctioning occurs in the system, the system automatically activates the
work chart corresponding to the "C" position (centre of gravity of the load placed
4 metres ahead of the carriage).
