1.1 Important information

1 Working Range Limiter

1.1 Important information

1.1.1 Validity

These operating instructions only apply to the truck crane with the works
number that is on the cover sheet of these operating instructions.
This truck crane has been equipped at the factory with an adjustable
Working Range Limiter by Deutsche GROVE GmbH.

1.1.2 Scope of these operating instructions

These operating instructions only describe the menus and displays on the
Crane control display that are available with additional equipment with the
Working Range Limiter and therefore supplement the standard GMK 4075
operating instructions.

1.1.3 Safety instructions

G
Danger of accident due to unsupervised situations!
The working range limiter only serves as an additional safety device. Brake
the crane movement in time before the obstacle, do not knowingly drive
into the shutdown area. You, the crane operator, continue to have the re-
sponsibility of supervision for the working area, so that you can react ac-
cordingly to the occurance of incidnents that are not electronically moni-
tored.

1.2 Scope of Working Range Limiter

G
Danger of accidents due to limit values having been set too low
When entering the limit values, be aware that even after switching off the
motor movement can occur that would bring the load into the shutdown
area (e.g. due to load swing or bend of the boom). For this reason, enter the
limit value to the object with sufficient safety distance.

G
.

Danger of accident because the legally prescribed safety distance was not
observed!
Even when the working range limiter is switched on, always observe all
safety distances according to the country's legal regulations (e.g. con-
cerning electrical overhead cables).

1.2 Scope of Working Range Limiter


Truck cranes that are equipped with a working area limiter have a supple-
mented crane control programme. Therefore, additional symbols appear on
the Crane control display and additional submenus can be called up.
In these submenus, you can programme in four different limitations for the
truck crane's operating area:
– a maximum total height that cannot be exceeded,
– a maximum working radius that cannot be exceeded,
– a maximum permissible slewing angle within which may be operated,
– the position of individual objects that may not be touched.
The monitoring of the programmed limiting values can be switched on and
off separately.

sible slewing range.
The permissible slewing range is the angle
from A clockwise to B (approx. 270° in the
diagram).
Slewing angle A is the slewing movement
limit within the permissible slewing range
to the left.
Slewing angle B is the slewing movement
limit within the permissible slewing range
to the right.

G

1.4.7 Switching monitoring on and off

Switching moni- After the ignition is switched on, all monitoring functions are switched on
toring on that were on before the ignition was switched off.

G
Danger of accident due to erroneously set limit values!
If, during starting operations or after entering new limit values, you switch
on the monitoring, then make sure that the settings for the limit values are
correct. Start up the limit value slowly and check whether the movement
has been switched off at the right time.
If necessary, enter new values with a larger safety distance.

H
After switching on the monitoring, all of the driving gears' speeds are
limited to a maximum of 50 %. This is also valid for the driving gear where
higher values are set in the submenu Driving gear speeds. Limits under 50 %
continue to be active. A limit between 30 and 50 % is recommended for the
slewing gear speed.

The monitoring is switched on with the but-


tons under symbols (4) to (7).
When the monitoring is switched off, the back-
ground to the corresponding symbols is black.

• Press the button under the desired symbol


once (e.g. under symbol (6) for monitoring
the slewing angle).
The background to the symbol is now yellow
and the monitoring is switched on.
Those limiting values are monitored that are
entered in displays (1) to (3)
(à Read entered limiting values, p. 1 - 8).

1.4 Operating Working Range Limiter

The Working Range Limiter display presents the


limiting values pictorially. As soon as a moni-
toring function is switched on, the Working
Range Limiter display shows:
– a red circle for the working radius,
– a sector of a circle for the permissible slew-
ing angle (A – B),
– points joined by lines for monitored objects
(e.g. (1 – 3) or (4 – 6)),
– a cross (7) for the current boom position.
There is no presentation for the total height.

H
When the monitoring is switched on, it is impossible to drive behind a
defined object.

Switching moni- After the ignition is switched on, all monitoring functions are switched off
toring off that were off before the ignition was switched off.

The monitoring is switched off with the but-


tons under symbols (4) to (7).
When the monitoring is switched on, the back-
ground to the corresponding symbols is yel-
low.
• Press the button under the desired symbol
once (e.g. under symbol (6) for monitoring
the slewing angle).
The background to the symbol is now black
and the monitoring is switched off.
The optical presentation for this monitoring
goes out on the Working Range Limiter display
(e.g. the circle section for monitoring the slew-
ing angle).

H
Displays (1) to (3) show the last entered limiting value, even when monitoring
is switched off. The black symbol is always the standard for switching off.

1.5 Shutdown with Working Range Limiter


When one or more monitoring functions are switched on and the switching
point has been reached, shutdown occurs via the safe load indicator.

When shutdown occurs via the Working Range Limiter:


– the movements that were carried out closer to the switching point are
switched off; à
Switched-off crane movements, p. 1 - 21,
– an error message appears on the Information display on the SLI insert;
àError messages from shutdown with Working Range Limiter, p. 1 - 23.

1.5.1 Switched-off crane movements

The following table provides an overview of crane movements that are


blocked by the various monitoring functions when the switching point is
reached.

1.5 Shutdown with Working Range Limiter

Bypassing If the monitoring of the Working Range Limiter is switched off after shut-
shutdown down has been carried out in the Working Range Limiter submenu, the shut-
down is maintained for safety reasons

The crane movement shutdown can only be overridden at the LMI


(by pass key).

G
Risk of accidents from overriding a shutdown.
Override the shutdown only if absolutely necessary and if you can clearly
observe the danger zone. Remember that, because of boom bending, the
overall height of the truck crane increases when putting down the load.

When you press the Override key-operated push button, shutdown of crane
movements listed in the table above is bypassed (switched off).
