6 HOW TO ACCESS THE HOIST CONDITION MONITORING UNIT
THROUGH PWRSII 6-2-13 RADIO SERVICE MODE
(IFAPPLICABLE
).
6.1 General Description of Service Mode
For PWRSII 6-2-13 systems, there is a special “Service Mode” of operation for
maintenance and set up of the Hoist Condition Monitoring Unit via radio.
This unit is connected to the receiver PWRS 6-2-13 by a serial data communication
CL20mA.
When in Service mode, the transmitter PWRS 6-2-13 is able to act as a data console for
the Hoist Condition Monitoring Unit, sending commands and receiving information,
using the radio link and the appropriate software in the transmitter PWRS 6-2-13 and in
the receiver PWRS 6-2-13.
During the Service Mode of operation, due to the amount of data being sent in the
reverse link, the amount of frames per second in reverse mode is increased such that the
feedback in the display is fast enough. The movements of the crane in this mode of
operation are inhibited, this is, there are no movement orders being sent by the
transmitter or acknowledged by the receiver. The Stop relays are activated.
PLEASE NOTE:
It could be too slow to enter in service mode by the receiver if the transmitter and the
receiver are in different channels. Whenever possible, avoid the scanning of radio
channels.
