This alarm, when set, permits the operator to define an Operating Zone by only two set points. The use of
this method results in a greatly enhanced work area and also clearly and simply defines the Exclusion
Zone area. The following diagram illustrates the Operating Zone and the Exclusion Zone.
The operator defined work area alarm, when set, will define an imaginary vertical plane between two set
points to optimize the working area. When passing the plane, the red warning lamp will illuminate, the
audio alarm will sound, and the message “EXCLUSION ZONE” will flash on the display.

THE OPERATOR DEFINED WORK AREA ALARM IS A WARNING DEVICE. ALL FUNCTIONS REMAIN OPERATIONAL WHEN
ENTERING THE OPERATOR DEFINED EXCLUSION ZONE. “SAFE WORKING DISTANCE” IS THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE AN
OPERATOR TO REACT TO AN ALARM AND FOR THE CRANE MOTION TO BE HALTED BEFORE ENTERING THE EXCLU-
SION ZONE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO SET POINTS THAT ENSURE THAT THE CRANE BOOM,
ATTACHMENT, LOAD, RIGGING, ETC. MAINTAINS A SAFE WORKING DISTANCE FROM THE OBSTACLE. AVOID
POSITIONING THE BOOM, ATTACHMENT, LOAD, RIGGING, ETC. IN THE EXCLUSION ZONE WHEN MOVING TO SET
POINTS 1 AND 2. WHEN SELECTING SET POINTS 1 AND 2, ENSURE THAT THE LOAD WILL MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE
FROM THE OBSTACLE. IF THE CRANE OR OBSTACLE IS MOVED, OR IF A DIFFERENT SIZE LOAD IS LIFTED, THE WORK
AREA ALARM MUST BE RESET.
