1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The PAT DS 150 Load Moment Indicator (LMI) complements the operator's know-how by
providing the information, right in the cab, needed to make the demanding lifts required of
modern cranes.
Using various sensing devices, the PAT DS 150 Load Moment Indicator monitors all crane
functions and provides the operator with a continuous reading of the crane's rated capacity.
The readings continuously change as the crane moves through the motions needed to make
the lift.
The PAT DS 150 Load Moment Indicator also provides the operator with information regard-
ing the length of the boom, angle of the boom and jib, working radius, rated load and the total
calculated weight being lifted by the crane.
If non permitted conditions are approached, the PAT DS 150 Load Moment Indicator will warn
the operator by sounding an audible alarm, lighting a warning light and locking out those func-
tions that may aggravate the crane´s condition.
2. WARNINGS
The PAT DS 150 Load Moment Indicator (LMI) is an operational aid which warns a crane op-
erator of an approaching two blocking condition as well as approaching overload conditions
which could cause damage to equipment and property, and injury to the operator or bystand-
ers. This device is not, and should not, be a substitute for good judgement, experience and
accepted safe crane operating procedures. The operator is solely responsible for the safe
operation of the crane and must observe and obey all warnings and instructions supplied by
PAT and the crane manufacturer. Prior to operating a crane equipped with a PAT operational
aid, the operator must carefully and thoroughly read and understand the information in this
manual and the crane manufacturer's manual to insure that the operator knows the operation
and limitations of the operational aid and crane. Proper functioning is dependent on proper
daily inspection and observance of the operating instructions set forth in this manual. We
draw your attention to section 5 of this handbook.
WARNING
The display (1) will only aid the operator when the LMI is properly programmed and the
proper load capacity chart and operating code are selected for the crane configuration
being utilized.
To prevent property damage or serious bodily injury or death to personnel, ensure the
LMI is properly programmed before operating the crane.
