> Instailation/Operator Manuals f
The MicroGuard® RCI 510 System is intended to aid ' the crane operator by continuously monitoring
the load and warning of an approach to an overJoad or Two-Block condition. Crane functions are
monitored by means of high accuracy sensúrs. The system continuously compares the load
suspended below the boom head with the crane capacity chart stored in the computer memory. At
approach to overload, the " system warns by means of audible and visual alarms. The system
can be configured to cause function kick-out by sending a signal to function disconnect solenoids.
DISPLAY K
The operator is provided with a continuous display of:
• Rated Load ';
• Actual Load %: '"-".""" ^-rf1
• Bar Graph showing Percentage of Rated Load
• Radiusof the Load "^í7!" : nj
• Boom Angle ~ " ; •' "*'. y
• Main Boom Length * '.~¿. '
. : -.-:
v--...;

• Working Área *'; ?.: -'•?

''''•'•-•':'/^- V -^

• Crane Configuration t ^\;* *l

On-screen messages provide the operator with visual wamings of conditions that occur during
operation of " the system.
BOOM ANGLE SENSOR '" " '
Boom angle is measured by'meahs of a high-accuracy potentiometer/pendulum assembly that ¡s
„ damped to prevent overswing. It provides a voltage proportional to boom angle. The boom angle
sensor is mounted inside the cable extensión reel assembly.
OUTLINE OF OPERATION
•. • - -. -' ' K: • ", ' '\
^ j í . EXTENSIÓN SENSOR
The extensión sensor provides an iricreasing voltage .; proportional to the extensión of the boom, A
cable attached to the-boom head provides a low currenfri
- electricai path for the A2B signal . : •_••-
PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS 1 ^
Two pressure transducers measure the pressure in the boom hoist cylinder. The resultan! Total
Moment signal is processed to provide a continuous display of the load suspended belpw the point of
lift. ¿
ANTI TWO BLOCK (A2B) í «/" >^
'; •?:.
A switch monitors the approacrtof the hookblock or overhaul ball to the boom head. The switch ¡s
held in the normal position until the hookblock or overhaul ball raises a weight that is mounted afound
the hoist rope. When the weight is raised, it causes the switch to opérate. The resultant signal is sént
to the computer vía the extensión reel caüsing the A2B alarm to opérate and function kick-out to
occur.
FUNCTION KICK-OUT jÁT i
Electrically operated solenoids disconnect the control lever functions for boom hoist tower, telescope
out, and winch up whenever an overload or an A2B í condition occurs. •
OPERATOR SETTABLE ALARMS
These alarms, when property set by the operator, define the operating range. This is achieved by
means of minimum and máximum angle, máximum .J height, and/or máximum length. These alarms
can be -programmed for each job site and allow the operator to work in a defined área. ,,, ~
- .. **" '\, ' •
ÁREA ALARM "'" " .
When set, this alarm permits the,operator to define * the operating zone by only two set pointsí The
use
* "^of this method of setting results ¡n a greatly enhanced working área, and also clearly defines the
operating zone. - ' •• . ''?.. " '"'•'•«

PUSH BUTTON TO CANCEL AUDIBLE ALARM

The cancel alarm push button (¡tem 23) is used to silence the audible alarm. Pressing this
button once will cancel an audible alarm that has occurred as a result of an:
Overload •$
A2B Alarm
Operator Settable Alarm
The audible alarm remains canceled until the condition that caused the alarm has been
removed. See page 23. * ''
EXAMPLES: í AFTER CANCELING AN AUDIBLE ALARM: «
• If the audible alarm sounded because of an overload condition, the alarm will rémain
canceled until the conditión is corrected. *
• If another alarm condition occurs that normally causes an alarm to sound (such as A2B)
or if a previous condition
4
(such as overload) is removed and then recurs, the new alarm condition wiií cause
the audible alarm to sound again.
The CANCEL ALARM püsh button is aJso used to reset the function kick-out relay when it
is necessary to bypass the function disconnects. Examples of when it may be necessary
to override a function disconnect condition are:
If the boom hoist cylinder is fully .extended, the pressure in it will rise. This will be seen by
the system as an overload árTd will not allow the operator to boom down. Using the bypass
is necessary in this situation to move away from the fully extended boom hoist cylinder
position.

RESET FUNCTION KICK-OUT

When the crane is to be riggéd, it is often riiBcessary to put the boom in a position that cpuld
cause fufiction kick-out. Using the bypass is necessary in this situation.
Press and reléase and then press and hold the CANCEL ALARM push button (Ítem 23) for
apprbximately 5 seconds to reset the ;.,, relay. At this time a second beep is heard confirming
the bypass. When the condition that caused the alarm is no longer present, the function
disconnect relay will reset to the normal condition. Should a different alarm condition occur while
the relay is over- ' ridden, the new alarm condition will cause the; controls to disconnect again.
WHEN THE FUNCTION DISCONNECT RELAY IS RESET BY MEANS OF THE CANCEL ALARM
PUSH BUTTON, THERE IS NO LONGER PROTECTION AGAINST THE CONDITION THAT
CAUSED THE FUNCTION KICK-OUT.
