Offset Boom or Swing Boom machines
Where a GKD 3RCI+ SpaceGuard system is installed onto a machine with a swing boom or swivel boom,
addi�onal protec�on is provided to ensure that the boom is in the
“straight ahead”
posi�on when
working with posi�onal limits.
Sensors automa�cally detect when the offset or swing boom is in the
“straight ahead”
posi�on.
When the boom is NOT detected as being straight, access to se�ing of posi�onal limits (height, slew and
virtual wall limits) is disabled. The machine li� capacity is also reduced, typically to 700kg.
It will only be possible to set a limit when the boom is in the straight ahead posi�on. Once a limit is set,
the hydraulic controls to the boom swing or offset will be motion cut, and it will not be possible to swing
or offset the boom whilst a limit is ac�ve.
Orange beacon
3RCI+ SpaceGuard installa�ons incorporate an addi�onal beacon on the outside of the cab and is orange
in colour. This beacon is designated as a
“Limit Set”
indica�on and will be ac�vated when either a slew
limit or a virtual wall is set and ac�ve AND the foreman’s key switch on the display is turned to the
“Locked”
position, preven�ng the limit from being changed or turned off.
