Opera�on
Auto-diagnos�cs
During the start up procedure, and during normal opera�on, the system performs constant checks on all
inputs and systems to ensure that the data is within prescribed limits. If an input data is in error then the
system will issue a warning. Depending on the severity of the error, the system may con�nue to operate
at a de-rated performance or forbid further opera�on. The system may request the operator to slew
through the zero reset. (Over the front of the machine). The operator will be required to acknowledge
the message to remove the warning.
Daily Checks
Before opera�ng this system the operator should check the following on a daily basis:
�
Visually inspect the angle sensors and pressure sensors for damage or misalignment.
�
Visually inspect angle sensor and pressure sensor cables for damage and proper connection.
�
Visually inspect the rail gear detec�on switches and cabling (if fitted).
�
Start the machine allow RCI to complete start-up procedure. Note any errors and call service if
required.
�
Raise boom and then slew through 360 degrees to ensure the slew counts correctly and allow a
reset of slew to be carried out (Important if machine has been idle for a long period of �me).
Ensure the slew counts in both direc�ons.
�
Operate the booms and verify that the height and radius displayed on the screen correspond with
the actual height and radius to the selected li� point, and that the displayed height and radius
change as appropriate when the booms are moved.
�
Select the
MENU
screen and press the
TEST
tab, and then press the alarm test bu�on. The external
indicator lamps and alarms should be ac�vated one by one in sequence as reported on the 3RCI+
screen. Verify that they all work as expected.
For SpaceGuard systems the following checks should be carried out, in addi�on to those listed above,
prior to commencing works in a restricted area. These checks should form part of a pre-use work
procedure which should be signed by the operator and witnessed by a competent person.
�
Set a height limit. Operate the machine at full speed to attempt to exceed the height limit.
�
Set slew limits. Operate the machine at full speed to attempt to exceed the slew limit.
�
Set virtual wall limits. Operate the machine at full speed to attempt to exceed the wall limits.

The 3RCI+ system uses a colour touchscreen for control of the indicator functions. The touchscreen is
designed for use by finger or gloved hand or with an approved stylus.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY SHARP OR HEAVY ITEMS TO OPERATE THE INDICATOR.
USE OF UNAUTHORIZED OBJECTS MAY SCRATCH THE OVERLAY OR DAMAGE THE SCREEN GLASS AND
