A test program is run in the SLI in the first 5 seconds. During this time

- the SLI early warning and SLI shutdown warning lamps illuminate,
- the numbers in the displays constantly change or flash and
- an acoustic signal sounds (continuous buzzer tone).
!
The test program also runs after every voltage drop.

After completion of the test program

- the SLI shutdown warning lamp lights up,
- the SLI early warning warning lamp lights up,
- the continuous buzzer tone continues to sound.

Depending on how long the SLI was switched off, the displays Rigging mode
and Reeving are activated differently.

Status displays after a short period of standstill:

If the SLI was switched off only briefly (less than 24 hours), the last setting is
shown on the displays.
If then displayed values do not correspond to the current rigging mode of the
truck crane, you must set the current rigging mode;

The signaling point Reeving appears on the status display in order to remind
2. n= you that the value for the reeving must be transferred to the SLI
before operating the crane.
If the value displayed coincides with the current reeving, you can transfer the
value;

The signaling point now changes to the display Rigging mode. If the value
100.0. 00 appearing on this display also corresponds to the current rigging mode, you
can transfer the value;
 Status displays after a long period of standstill:

If the SLI was switched off for longer than 24 hours, the digit zero and the
0.0. n= signaling point appear in both the Reeving and Rigging mode status displays.

000.0. 00 All other status displays with membrane switches are not activated.

The SLI switches on the entry mode on the display Reeving. The display
flashes and thus requests that you enter the value for the current reeving.

Enter the current reeving;

After you have transferred the value on the display Reeving, the entry mode
changes to the display Rigging mode. The display flashes and thus requests
that you enter the current rigging mode of the truck crane;

When the current values have been entered and transferred on the displays
Reeving and Rigging mode, you can confirm the SLI shutdown.

CE • Press the Acknowledge membrane switch.

The continuous buzzer tone is switched off.

The SLI-early warning and SLI-shutdown warning lamps go out.

If the SLI is defective, the red warning lamp in the Error information membrane
E switch illuminates.

Accidents may occur when working with defective SLI!

It is prohibited to work with the SLI when it is overridden, out of
operation or defective!

If no error message is displayed, the SLI is now set for the crane operation.

Lamp test on the SLI

You should carry out a lamp test before you set the rigging mode.

Keep the membrane switch Switch on second level pressed and, in

F2 + 1 addition, briefly press the membrane switch Lamp test.

All display, warning and indicator lamps in the SLI must illuminate with
maximum brightness.
After approx. two seconds, the normal display reappears with the
brightness automatically set.

If the lamp test shows a display, warning or indicator lamp to be defective .

 Risk of accidents when the SLI is defective!
The SLI is faulty if display, warning or indicator lamps fail to light up.
You must never work with a defective SLI!

If you cannot see the SLI status displays due to unfavorable lighting con -
ditions, you can adjust the brightness of the displays using the dimmer.

Dimmers for the SLI status display

After switching on the ignition, the basic brightness of the all status
displays and warning and indicator lamps in the SLI automatically adapt
to the ambient light. If necessary, you can readjust the brightness of the
status display.
Keep the membrane switch Switch on second level pressed and,
F2 + 2 in addition, press the membrane switch Dimmer brighter.
The status display gets brighter by one level every
time the membrane switch is pressed until the maximum
brightness has been reached.

Keep the membrane switch Switch on second level pressed and,

in addition, press the membrane switch Dimmer darker.
F2 + 3 The status display gets darker by one level every time the
membrane switch is pressed until the minimum brightness
has been reached.

Setting rigging mode

There are two ways of setting the rigging mode on the SLI:

- via the SLI code,

- via individual components.

When setting the rigging mode using the SLI code, the SLI code for the
rigging mode is entered according to the Lifting capacity table. The SLI code
is entered in the Rigging Mode status display. After entry the SLI indicates
the required rigging mode on the various status displays.
You must additionally enter the reeving on the status display Reeving

Risk of accidents when the rigging mode is set incorrectly!

The actual rigging mode must coincide with the rigging mode displayed
on the SLI. Compare the displayed rigging mode with the actual rigging
mode;
In addition to the SLI code, enter the current reeving on the Reeving display.
In this way you prevent the SLI from incorrectly calculating the permissible
load and that the truck crane becomes overloaded when in use, thus
causing it to overturn.
 Setting using individual components

The individual components for the current rigging mode are:

- the supporting span,
- the counterweight,
- the reeving
- the length of lattice extension
(only with additional equipment)
- the slewing range and
- if necessary, the hoist indicator lamp
(only with additional equipment
with auxiliary hoist)

You can set the values for the individual components directly using the
membrane switches on the corresponding status display. Here you can
select the respective values which are permitted according to the Lifting
capacity table.

After setting, the SLI code for the recently set rigging mode is displayed in
the Rigging mode display (not with changes on the display Reeving).
Setting the hoist display lights;

Danger of overturning due to incorrectly set rigging mode!

When the individual components are selected, values which have already
been set can change again. After selecting always compare the SLI code
which appears in the Rigging mode status display with the SLI code which
is provided in the Lifting capacity table for the actual rigging mode. If the
SLI changes the components which have already been set, the SLI codes
do not coincide and the settings must be corrected.
In this way you prevent the SLI from calculating with the incorrectly set
components and the truck crane becoming overloaded and overturning
when in operation,

General instructions

An error code appears in the status display Information when there is an

error message. This status display automatically switches over if you
enter values on the status display Rigging mode.

In this case the Information status display automatically switches to the dis
no play of the permitted slewing range and the green indicator lamp in the
Permitted slewing range membrane switch illuminates.

If error messages now occur, you will be able to recognize this by the
E acoustic signal and the red warning lamp in the Error information mem-
brane switch. You can see these error messages in the Information status
display by pressing this membrane switch;
 After you have read the error message, you can cancel the acoustic signal
CE by pressing the Acknowledge membrane switch. You can cancel the error
message and warning lamp only after the cause of the error has been
eliminated;

Sequence during setting

The setting sequence is the same for all status displays. There are only
differences when the values are entered directly.

If the flashing status display requests that you enter values after having
switched on the SLI, the SLI is already in entry mode and you can directly
enter values;

1. Switch the SLI to entry mode;

2. Enter new value;

3. Confirm entry;

4. Transfer the new value to the LMB processor;

Switching on the entry mode

If you have switched on the SLI with the ignition, you can switch on the
entry mode. When doing this you must consider whether:

- you want to change the values on the status display Reeving or

- you want to change the values on another status display.

Changing values on the status display Reeving

Keep the membrane switch Entry mode pressed and in addition to this briefly
F1 + press the membrane switch Reeving and then let go of both switches.

The status display flashes and the signalling point is displayed.

1. n=
Thus the entry mode on the status display Reeving is switched on.
You can now change the value for the reeving.

Changing the values on another status display

Enter an SLI code for the main boom or the lattice extension in the status
000.0 00
display Rigging mode, depending on the intended job.

Press the membrane switch Confirm entry once.

 Keep the membrane switch Entry mode pressed and in addition to this briefly
F1 00 press the membrane switch Rigging mode and then let go of both switches.

The SLI code in the display flashes and the signaling point is displayed.
000.0 00 This switches on the entry mode for the display Rigging mode.
All the displays of the individual components which are associated with
the flashing SLI code are now activated.
You can now enter the values on the status displays of the individual
components (except for reeving) or you can enter the SLI code directly on this
status display.

You can only enter values when the SLI is in entry mode. Depending on
the status display you have two possibilities of entering the desired value.
On the status display you can
- select the desired value in single steps, or
- enter the values directly via the numerical pad.
The following table shows which displays are activated depending on the
flashing SLI code and assigns the entry options to the various displays.

Selecting the desired value in single steps

You can only enter values when the SLI is in entry mode. The SLI is in
entry mode if the status display Rigging mode or (if you want to change the
reeving) Reeving flashes;

Press the membrane switch next to the desired status display (e.g. on the
display Counterweight).
13.0 The next possible value appears in the status display.
t

If you press the membrane switch again, the status display jumps to the next
21.5 t highest possible value.

Continue pressing the membrane switch until the desired value appears in the
status display.

Every time a new value is displayed on the status screen, the status display
Rigging mode switches to the corresponding SLI code.

If you have inadvertently skipped the desired value, run through all possible
values until the status display begins again with the initial value.

Entering the values directly via the numerical pad

This entry option is only available for the Reeving and Rigging mode status
displays. You can only enter values when the SLI is in entry mode. The SLI is
in entry mode if the status display Rigging mode or (if you want to change the
reeving) Reeving flashes;

1 2 3 Enter the desired value; to do this press the corresponding membrane

switches on the numerical pad one after the other.

The entered value flashes in the selected status display.

2. n=

If you have inadvertently entered the incorrect value, repeat the entry.

After entering the values

When you have selected all necessary values on the displays or have entered
them via the numerical pad, you must confirm the entry and transfer the
values to the SLI.

Press the membrane switch Confirm entry once.

The numerical value on the status display Rigging mode or Reeving does
110.0. 00
not flash any more (depending on, which status display the entry mode
was switched on). The signaling point at the right edge of the respective
status display illuminates.

The entry is now confirmed and the SLI is ready to transfer the entered
value.
 If you have entered a value which is not allowed according to the Lifting
capacity table, the value is not transferred and the status display continues
to flash after pressing the membrane switch Confirm entry; furthermore an
error message is displayed;

Transferring values

For the transfer of newly entered values, you must transfer the value on
the status display at which the signaling point is displayed:

- A newly entered value for reeving is transferred on the status display

Reeving

- All other newly entered values are transferred on the status display
Rigging mode.

Press the membrane switch next to the corresponding status display

00 (here Rigging mode is used as an example).

The signaling point goes out; the value displayed has been accepted by
the SLI.
110.0 00

If you have changed several rigging components (e.g. the outrigger span
and the length of lattice extension as well), then these values are
transferred at the same time as the new SLI code.
In addition you must confirm and transfer the current reeving on the
display Reeving.

Once there are no more error messages and you have already acknow-
ledged all of the error messages which were issued, both warning lamps
SLI shutdown and SLI early warning go out after pressing the membrane
switch for transferring and you can work with the truck crane.

 Switching over hoist position lights
I II Only for additional equipment with auxiliary hoist.
Of the display lamps Hoists, the lamp for the hoist of which the reeving
can be entered on the display Reeving always illuminates.

Lamp I: Main hoist

Lamp II: Auxiliary hoist

The corresponding lamp is activated as soon as the hoist is switched on. If a

hoist is switched on and you additionally switch on the second hoist, the lamp
for the second hoist flashes.

The lamp for the hoist with which the load is to be lifted must always
illuminate.
If the lamp for the hoist not to be used for lifting the load illuminates,
switch this hoist off and the other hoist on.

Example: Switching over status display

For this example the load is to be lifted with the main hoist. But of the display

Switch off sensor/ The SLI works with a two-channel sensory system in which most pressure
indicator during sensors, length indicators and angle sensors are in duplicate. If there is an
malfunction error on one of these sensors or indicators with a corresponding error
message, you can switch it off and thus cancel the SLI shutdown.

H
Then you can continue to work with the other channel without delay.

If you have switched off a sensor or pickup because of a malfunction,

immediately inform the GROVE Product Support responsible and have
the cause of error rectified as quickly as possible.

Switching off sensors or indicators

• Press the membrane switch Error information until the error message of
r the sensor or indicator which should be switched off appears on the
display Information.
This error message always ends with a sensor or indicator on one of the
!0"4 numbers 2 to 6 (e. g. the error message for the pressure sensor 2, lower
chamber).

• Press the membrane switch input mode and also the membrane switch
no Switch on 2nd level. Keep both membrane switches pressed.
• Press the Acknowledge membrane switch once and let go of all mem-
p brane switches again.
The last number in the error message now changes to an 8.
!0"8 With this final number you can see that a sensor or indicator is switched off.

H After switching off a sensor/indicator, you should check that the remai-
ning sensor/indicator is functioning correctly; ➠ p. 16-39.

Releasing shutdown
The sensor or indicator remains switched off until the ignition is switched off.
If you turn the ignition back on before the error has been eliminated, a
new error message will appear for this sensor or indicator (with a final
number of 2 to 6) and there will be another SLI shutdown.
Check that the The Error message table ( ➠ page 16-39) shows next to the error messa-
remaining ge if the sensor/indicator which was switched off is
sensor/indicator – a pressure sensor,
is working – an angle sensor,

H
– a length indicator.

With the tests described here you can briefly test for the presence of the
function of the remaining sensor/indicator but there is no measuring accu-
racy.

Check pressure sensor

• Hoist the hook block without a load.
The remaining pressure sensor is functioning if the status display Actual
# !2 t load indicates the approximate weight of the hook block.

H The weight of the hook block is stated in the technical data in the operat-
ing instructions.

Checking an angle sensor

• Place the retracted main boom in the boom support.
The remaining angle sensor is functioning if the status display Current
# =0 n° main boom angle indicates 0° when the truck crane is aligned horizontally.

Checking the length indicator of the telescoping cylinder

• Completely retract the main boom and mechanically lock the tele-
scoping cylinder in telescope section I.
• Press the Entry mode membrane switch and the Hydraulic oil pressure
nl derricking cylinder lower chamber sensor B membrane switch.
The remaining length indicator is functioning if the Information display
# =0 indicates a length of approx. 0 ft.

Checking the length indicator for telescope sectionV

• Fully retract the main boom.
• Press the Entry mode membrane switch and the Hydraulic oil pressure
nk derricking cylinder lower chamber sensor A membrane switch.
The remaining length indicator is functioning if the Information display
# =0 indicates a length of approx. 0 ft.

Accepting the The SLI and the crane control detect the telescope status independently.
telescope status The SLI compares its displayed telescope status with the value which the
from the crane control has detected. If the values differ, the SLI deactivates, the sta-
crane control tus display Current telescope status flashes and the error message 3.06.3 is
displayed.

The error message can have two causes:

– Either, the malfunction is on the length indicators, the SLI or the crane
control
– or a telescope status was manually entered on the crane control display
which does not agree with the SLI display (e. g., after an emergency
operation).

• Compare the current telescope status with the telescope status indica-
ted on the Crane control display:
– If the current telescope status is not indicated, a malfunction has occur-
red. Notify GROVE Product Support.
– If the Crane control display indicates the actual telescope status, you can
accept this telescope status into the SLI.

Accepting the telescope status

• Press the membrane switch Error information until the error message
r 3.06.3 is indicated on the status display Information.

§0&3
• Press the Entry mode membrane switch and additionaly Switch on 2nd level
