1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The PAT Length-Angle-Radius-Load Indicator System EI65 has been designed to provide the crane
operator with the essential information required to enable the machine to be used within its design
parameters. The EI65 System indicates the length and angle of the boom, tip height, working radius
and the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane.
Using various sensing devices, the EI65 System warns the crane operator of certain approaching
hazardous conditions, which could occur during the operation of the crane.
The purpose of this Operator’s Manual is to provide information to help the crane operator operate,
maintain and troubleshoot the PAT System.
The manual contains the system description, operating, and calibration information.
Always refer to operational instructions and load charts provided by the crane manufacturer
for specific crane operation and load limits.
