General Information 1
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This troubleshooting manual is designed to assist a service or maintenance person in identifying

system problem areas or malfunctions. A digital voltmeter with the capability to also measure
current will be required. Regular maintenance and service tools will also be required. NOTE:
Knowledge of how to use a voltmeter to measure both voltage and current is assumed.
REFERENCE:
For system operation, refer to the operator’s manual for the console. This may differ from crane
manufacturer and model.
Section 3.1 is a general flow chart that directs you to detailed flow charts and sections.
Section 3.2 provides a list of error codes, error, cause, and possible action for the error.
Sections 3.3 – 3.11 provide detailed flow charts to define and correct the root cause.
Section 4 provides drawings that will be referenced for troubleshooting.
Section 5 provides procedures that will be referenced for troubleshooting.
Section 6 provides drawings for the theory of operation of all the different sensing devices used
in the DS350G Modular System. Use these reference drawings to better understand the
operation of the system.

2 Service Manual DS 350 GM
2 WARNINGS
The LMI is an operational aid that warns a crane operator of approaching overload conditions
and overhoist conditions that could cause damage to equipment and personnel. Therefore, the
device is not, and shall not be, a substitute for good operator judgment, experience and use of
accepted safe crane operating procedures.
The responsibility for the safe crane operation shall remain with the crane operator who shall
ensure that all warnings and instructions supplied are fully understood and observed.
Prior to operating the crane, the operator must carefully and thoroughly read and understand
the information in the crane’s operating manuals to ensure that the operator knows the
operation and limitations of indicator and crane.
PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) DS 350 Modular
The PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) DS 350 Modular has been designed to provide the crane
operator with the essential information required to operate the machine within the designed
parameters. Using different sensing devices, the DS 350 Modular LMI monitors various crane
functions and provides the operator with a continuous display of the crane’s capacity. The
display continually changes as the crane moves through the motions needed to make a lift.
If non-permitted conditions are approached, the DS 350 LMI will warn the operator by sounding
an audible alarm and lighting a warning light. In addition the LMI system has the capability to
provide a signal to the solenoids and thereby locking out those functions that may aggravate the
crane’s condition.

5.4 PROCEDURE 4. PRESSURE TRANSDUCER ZERO ADJUSTMENT
5.4.1 USING GRAPHIC CONSOLE FOR ZERO-SETTING OF PRESSURE TRANSDUCER &

FORCE INPUTS
The zero setting consists of defining zero-point offset. The zero point offset is added to the
transducer measurement to calculate the real physical pressure or force.
To define the zero-point offset the pressure transducer or force sensor must be in equilibrium (no
load condition). Therefore the boom must be lowered all the way down (no rest pressure) and
the hydraulic hoses disconnected from the pressure transducers.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no pressure in the hydraulic line when disconnecting the hoses from
pressure transducers.
5.4.1.A ACTIVATING THE ZERO-SETTING FUNCTION

To activate the zero-setting Function, press the INFO key on the console to activate the INFO
Function. Now press the CTRL key. At this point, a five digit Authorization Number must be
entered. Only authorized personnel may adjust the zero-point settings.
Example: 6 4 3 5 6
5.4.1.B ZERO-SETTING THE TRANSDUCER INPUTS

Now, having successfully entered a valid password, the piston-side zero-point setting function is
activated.
The display shows which transducer (piston-side, rod-side or force) is being zeroed and a
horizontal dial marks the present pressure (or force) difference in %. By pressing the + key, the
input pressure (or force) is adjusted upwards, and by pressing the minus (-)key, the input value is
adjusted downwards. When the plus (+) and minus (-) keys are pressed simultaneously, the
zero setting occurs automatically. Manual adjustments may be preformed using + or -.
The return key toggles between the piston-side, the rod-side, and the force zero-setting.
When the operator is finished, pressing the EXC or INFO key returns the console display to
normal.

Theory 45
5.5 PROCEDURE 5. LENGTH AND ANGLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

6 THEORY
6.1 THEORY 1. OPERATION OF BOOM LENGTH SENSOR
The system sensors provide a 4 to 20mA output; however, due
to a fixed resistor circuit in the central unit, the input signal can
be measured using ammeter (current) or voltmeter (voltage).
The input signal operating window is 4 to 20mA, measured in
series at the analog input terminal OR 1.1 to 5.5V, measured in
parallel between the analog input and ground (GND) terminals.
At 4mA the voltage is 1.1V and at 20mA the voltage is 5.5V.
When troubleshooting this system, a current or voltage needs
to be measured to determine the status or condition of the
sensor.
Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the length
input signal. Remove the wire from X1:27 terminal in the central
unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The
measurement should be between 4..20mA.
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins X1:27 (length
signal) and X1:28 (gnd) on the main board (024-352-300-001 /
9333103287). The resistors are there to show that at 4mA the voltage is
1.1V because current multiplied with resistance equals voltage; therefore,
4mA x 275 ohms (total resistance) = 1.1V.

Theory 47
6.2 THEORY 2. OPERATION OF PISTON SIDE LOAD SENSOR

Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the piston side input signal. Remove the wire
from X1:21 terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins

X1:21 (piston side signal) and X1:22 (gnd) on the main board
(024-352-300-001. The resistors are there to show that at 4mA
the voltage is 1.1V because current multiplied with resistance
equals voltage; therefore, 4mA x 275 ohms (total resistance) =
1.1V.

6.3 THEORY 3. OPERATION OF ROD SIDE LOAD SENSOR

Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the rod side input signal. Remove the wire
from X1:24 terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins X1:24 (rod side signal) and X1:25
(gnd) on the main board (024-352-300-001). The resistors are there to show that at 4mA the voltage is
1.1V because current multiplied with resistance equals voltage; therefore, 4mA x 275 ohms (total
resistance) = 1.1V.

Theory 49
6.4 THEORY 4. OPERATION OF ANGLE SENSOR

Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the angle input signal. Remove the wire from
X1:29 terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter is V used to measure voltage between pins X1:29 (angle signal) and X1:28 (gnd)
on the main board (024-352-300-001). The resistors are there to show that at 4mA the voltage is 1.1V
because current multiplied with resistance equals voltage; therefore, 4mA x 275 ohms (total
resistance) = 1.1V.
