OVER-RIDE - The screen will show O/R on the upper left hand side of the LCD when
the over-ride key switch is turned on. The over-ride key switch is only
used when calibrating the system and/or when overriding the alarms
(and motion cut) at which time the system can no longer warn of
impending overload. Operation of this key is for authorized personnel
only who shall be solely responsible for its use.
Note: LSI-Robway recommends that the over-ride key switch be switched OFF at all times and the
over-ride key switch be held by the site-supervisor or another authorized person.
The TARE is an operator-settable function. It allows the operator to TARE out the weight of
accessories not considered part of the load.
NOTE: Please note that when the TARE function is active, the %SWL is still determined by the
total load, irrespective of what is currently displayed.
Using the TARE function
The tare function can be activated by pressing the TARE button on the lower part of the display.
Once activated, the “Tare On” indication will be shown on the screen and the displayed load will
change from the current load reading to zero (i.e. the load/weight prior to activating tare will be tared
out). This is useful when the operator wants to see only the net weight of the load minus the
accessory loads (e.g. wire rope slings, rigging accessories, etc.). When TARE is next pressed, the
displayed load reverts to the total load.
While in TARE mode, the tared load will be stored in the system memory and will still be part of the
total load calculation of the system.
The DUTY and FALLs are operator-settable functions. Prior to crane operation, the operator must
ensure that the correct DUTY and FALLS are selected to match the actual crane
configuration/operation and actual parts of line on the winch selected/used.
The list of the programmed DUTIES for the specific crane is provided at the rear of the manual. A
copy is also provided to be placed in the crane cabin for reference by the operator.
Selecting DUTY
To change the duty, press the Set Up/Cancel key until the DUTY value on the screen flashes. While
it is flashing, press the UP/DOWN arrow keys to ramp to the desired duty or sea state. Press the
ENTER key to complete selection, or wait 5 seconds when the display automatically switches back to
normal operating mode.
Selecting FALLS
To change the falls or parts of line, press the Set Up/Cancel key until the FALLS value on the screen
flashes. While it is flashing, press the UP/DOWN arrow keys to ramp to the desired number of falls.
Ensure also that the correct duty or sea state has been selected as the displayed falls apply to the
winch selected. Press the ENTER key to complete selection, or wait 5 seconds when the display
automatically switches back to normal operating mode.
This screen is also used to display ERROR codes when any errors are detected. The error code/s
will be displayed automatically if there are any errors. Please refer to Section 8. “Troubleshooting” for
the meaning and description of the error codes.
