Calibration of pressure profiles


Important note; please read before calibrating

The pressure curve makes the conversion between length, angle and hydraulic pressure to calculate the load on the hook. Therefore, the accuracy of the pressure profile calibration determines the accuracy of the load measurement. There are two different methods to make the calibration, the Standard Method and the EasyCal Method. In the Standard method, you boom down with empty hook and with suitable testweights at all boomlengths which are foreseen (between 3 to 5 lengths). In the EasyCal method, booming down with testweight is required at only one length. The advantage here is the saving of time and the fact that only one testweight is necessary. As the system has to calculate the curves at the other lengths, the accuracy is better with the standard method where curves are directly measured. In the EasyCal Method, it is very important, that the radius is accurately known; see also page 16 under Set Deflection. It is strictly advised for both methods that the hydraulic oil is at operation temperature in order to have best results.

Calibration of pressure profiles using the Standard method


Pressure profiles at min. boom length. Fully retract boom to minimum length of the load chart, pick up a test weight and enter the operating screen. Verify whether the pressure profiles are correct by checking the load indication at angle "0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75" with minimum boom length. If load indications are within 100 kg or 200lb, skip to Step (Pressure profiles at max. boom length). If indications are NOT correct, continue with the following procedure: Fully retract and put the boom at "75" degrees or max angle of the loadchart. Put down the test weight.

Calibration of pressure profiles using EasyCal method


Depending on the testweight, which you have available, decide which length will be used to make the calibration run with load. It is strongly advised to calibrate with load at a combination of length and testweight, which creates a high loadmoment, i.e. high hydraulic pressure. If the testweight is small, select the largest length, if it is medium, then go to a medium length. Beside the general informations (see on page 17), it is important that the boom angle ranges during the calibration runs are large (optimum 900 degrees)

Pressure profiles at the selected boom length. Extend the boom to the selected length at which you will make the calibration run with load. Pick up the known test weight which is within the loadchart of that boom length. Boom up to 85 degrees or maximum boom angle. From the Operating Screen enter the Calibration menu by pushing the button then the button simultaneously. If you come to the calibration menu the first time after poweringon the system, you will be asked to enter the access code, see page 11. Select "MEASURE" Select "EASYCAL" Select "FULL-MEASURE" Select "LOAD" Select the wanted boom length. Input of the Load: Use the , and button to set all digits to the proper value of hook block + deducts + testweight (same procedure as under "Set Angle"). After input of the last digit, the system is ready to record the pressure profile: Boom DOWN steady and slow to "0" degrees or minimum angle on the load chart. Before you stop booming down, push the "PROGRAM/BUZZER" (8) button. This stops the recording.

Adjustment Instructions - Load Moment Indicator MARK 4E/2 Version 1.3 Item No. 416324 Status 07-2009

25

Set down the testweight and boom up to 85 degrees or maximum boom angle. Select "OWN-WEIGHT" Select the same length as in the step before, which shall be the actual length of the boom. Input the own-weight load which is the hookblock and deducts weight. It is important that the own weight is not within 9501050 Kg because this could disturb the calculations. If the weight of the empty hook + deducts is within that range, use a small additional weight to increase beyond 1050 Kg. After input of the last digit, the system is ready to record the pressure profile: Boom DOWN steady and slow to "0" degrees or minimum angle on the load chart. Before you stop booming down, push the button. This stops the recording.

Select "EXIT" Select "OW-MEASURE" Repeat the ownweight measurements for the other lengths in the same way as under FULL-Measure. Note that all runs are done with empty boom. When all measurements at all boomlengths are done: Select "CALCULATION" Select "EXIT" several times to come into the operating screen via the crane configuration menu; see also operating manual. It is strongly advised to control the accuracy of the loadreadout at all boomlenghts and angles. Corrections can be done with the refinement, see next chapter. Should at a certain boomlength the deviation between displayed and real load be so large that the correction is not satisfying, it is possible to run the standard method calibration with ownweight and testweight only at that length.

Adjustment Instructions - Load Moment Indicator MARK 4E/2 Version 1.3 Item No. 416324 Status 07-2009

Refine the Load Indication Using Correction


(optional) After pressure profile calibration it is necessary to control the accuracy of the load readout at various lengths and angles. If the accuracy is within 3% of the maximum crane capacity at full load and with 200 Kg at empty hook, then this step can be skipped. If it is outside, then a load correction is advised. It is specially recommended when using the EasyCal Method. There are four parameters to be used to adjust the load readout: P1: P2: P3: P4: influences the loadreadout in the boomangle range of 9060 degrees influences the loadreadout in the boomangle range of 6030 degrees influences the loadreadout in the boomangle range of 300 degrees influences the loadreadout independently from the boomangle

The following describes the correction procedure using P4, but holds for the other parameters as well. From the Operating Screen enter the Calibration menu by pushing the button then the button simultaneously. If you come to the calibration menu the first time after poweringon the system, you will be asked to enter the access code, see page 11.
