For the SKM500, the KMD TYPE value equals the maximum hoist rope line pull
divided by 2,204 and round up to the next whole number. (i.e. 29,500lbs. Line pull
divide 30.5 by 2.204 = 13.4, rounded up = 14. The KMD TYPE value is 14.)
4.10.4. Press “OK” to confirm type.
4.10.5. KMD2OFFSET - This operation sets the load at zero.
4.10.5.1 Set the hook block on the ground.
4.10.5.2 Use the arrows “UP or DOWN” to adjust the display to indicate zero load.

4.10.6. KMD2 CONST - Lift a test load of at least 80% of permissible line pull for the crane
configuration. See crane manufactures data for approximate load.
NOTE: To comply with the SAE J376 standards the test load must be to a known
accuracy of
±
1%.
4.10.6.1 Use the arrows “UP or DOWN” to adjust the display load to indicate your
total test load. NOTE: The total load includes the load, rigging, cables, and
hook block.
If the displayed load will not indicate the total test load. The KMD TYPE must
be increased or decreased. If displayed load needs to be greater, increase KMD
TYPE. Exit this section by pressing “OK” and restart KMD2 calibration by
scrolling “DOWN” or “UP” to CONFIGURE KMD2 and press “OK”. Return to
