Load Cell Radio anti-2-block switch installation instructions D Main Boom – Refer to Figures below to locate and install weld plate and A-2-B switch. Please note that the weld plate & switch are shown larger than actual size for reference purposes. Anchor loop Figure ‘A’ Weld plate 20° to 45° Figure ‘B’ Side view of weld plate Front view of weld plate TOP Ï TOP Ï These holes tapped for 3/8th allen bolts BACK of weld plate WELD THIS SIDE TO CRANE BOOM FRONT of weld plate with anchor loop Attached FACE AWAY FROM CRANE Untapped holes for anchor loop attachment D Ensure A-2-B switch and weld plate are attached. Place switch and weld plate at the desired location on boom tip, at a 20 to 45 degree angle as illustrated in Figure ‘A’ above and mark with a scribe. A 20 degree angle is ideal for a mobile hydraulic machine, a 40-45 degree angle is ideal for a conventional crane. Ensure that nothing will interfere with switch (such as a swing away jib extension, etc.) and that the antenna is not touching any metal on the boom. D Remove weld plate on A-2-B switch by unbolting the two 3/8th inch allen cap bolts. Weld the back of the weld plate as per Figure ‘B‘ to the crane. Anchor loop should move freely once weld plate is welded. Note that weld plate should be offset at a 20-45 degree angle from the boom as illustrated in Figure ‘A‘. D After welding weld plate(s) to boom tip, allow weld plate to cool to the touch prior to mounting the A-2-B switch onto weld plate with the two allen bolts. Installed switch should now look like Figure ‘C‘ below. It should be positioned directly above the dead end or slowest speed line. Ensure that the location of the switch is such that the line of sight is not blocked from the cab by any brackets or flanges. D Install the chain onto the cable loop on the bottom of the A-2-B switch. Attach the counter weight to the dead end line or the slowest speed line. D Repeat this procedure for rooster sheave (Aux. winch 1) and or jib extension (Aux. winch 2) A-2-B switch installations.

Operate with level counterweight Remove this section, slip wire rope through and replace allen head bolts using loctite. 11 Description of anti-2-block switch – red flagged transportation clip D The Transportation Clip with the red tag is a device which keeps the switch in a non-2-block state for transportation purposes. If you fold away your jib or remove a counterweight from a switch, ensure that the red flagged transportation clip is installed as illustrated. When transporting the crane long distances, ensure that you place the transportation clip in the bottom of the switch. This is done by allowing the weight to pull the switch into the non-2-block position, and inserting the red flagged transportation clip on the cable between the bottom of the aluminum collar on the switch and the metal grommet about 5/8th’s inch below on the cable. D If you loose this transportation clip it will not affect the normal operation of the anti-2-block system D Please note: The red flagged transportation clips are to be removed from the bottom of the switch for normal system operation. If left in the switch the crane: WILL NOT HAVE ANTI-2-BLOCK PROTECTION. THE LOAD A-2-B CO *IMPORTANT* REMOVE RED FLAGGED TRANSPORTATION CLIP FOR SYSTEM OPERATION REPLACE WHEN MOVING OR TRANSPORTING CRANE Red flagged transportation clip. 12 Figure ‘A’ Figure ‘B’ THE THE LOAD LOAD A-2-B A-2-B CO CO Weld plate Anchor loop on weld plate Snap link on chain To counterweight Transportation Position Ensure the chain is clipped by the snap link to the anchor loop on the weld plate when transporting the crane. See Figure ‘A’. This will prevent damage and/or premature wearing of the cable at the bottom of the anti-2-block switch. Use the snap link to attach the chain to the anchor loop on the weld plate. Chain assembly should look like Figure ‘A’. Please note: The A-2-B system will report a TWO-BLOCK ALARM when the blue receiver panel is powered up to remind the crane operator to unclip the chain for operation. To counterweight Operating Position Ensure the chain is not clipped to the anchor loop by the snap link when operating the crane. The snap link should be hanging freely. (as illustrated in above Figure ‘B’). Chain assembly should look like Figure ‘B’. Please note: Test the system daily by lifting the counterweight and confirm an audio and visual alarm on the blue receiver panel. 13 Radio boom angle sensor installation instructions D The angle sensor must be installed on the boom at a minimum distance of ten feet from the antenna on the cab of the crane. The sensor can be mounted on either side of the boom however the default setting is for installation on the LEFT SIDE of the boom. If you determine that the right side of the boom is a more desirable location for the sensor you must program the panel for right boom operation – see section 3 of this manual after you have installed the angle sensor on the boom. Line of sight between sensor antenna and antenna should exist in all positions. Do not mount sensor on the top or bottom of the boom. Position the sensor weld plate assembly parallel with the boom line. Use the illustration on the Sensor label as an alignment aid. BOOM LINE D Exact alignment is preferred but not necessary. Small alignment error can be zeroed out at the panel in the cab of the crane. Mark or scribe the boom where the weld plate will be mounted. Unbolt the weld plate from the angle sensor and lightly tack weld, do not permanently weld the plate yet. (see figure A below) PLEASE NOTE: Lightly tack weld plate where you think it should go, leaving the opportunity to move, adjust and re-weld if necessary, before testing the system for operation. Make certain that the antenna on the boom angle sensor will not be touching any metal once mounted. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WELD THE WELD PLATE WHILE ATTACHED TO THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR WILL BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. Once the weld has cooled, mount the sensor to the weld plate (see figure B below) using the bolts and lock washers supplied. D Now you will need to raise your boom to a minimum of a 45 degree angle then return it to level. Now you should proceed to zeroing the angle. You will find these simple instructions on page 33-35 of this manual. STEP 1: Attach weld plate to boom as illustrated Weld plate Figure ‘A’ LINE OF BOOM RADIO BOOM ANGLE INDICATOR Mount on base section of boom – see manual Use screws and lock washers provided BOOM LINE For sales or service call: THE LOAD & A-2-B COMPANY INC. 1-888-562-3222 Boom Angle Figure ‘B’ Indicator LINE OF BOOM 14 STEP 2: Bolt angle sensor to weld plate on boom as illustrated Display panel installation instructions D Display panel mounting: The installation of the display panel consists of drilling two holes for mounting in the operator cab. First find a suitable location in the cab on the dash where the crane operator has an unobstructed view of the display. Using the removable bottom portion of the mounting bracket align, mark and drill two holes in the cab of the crane. Securely attach the bottom portion of the mounting bracket assembly to the dash. Place panel into the carriage holes of the lower mounting bracket and with the two fluted knobs and star washers, securely attach panel with the front of the display facing the operator.

Connect the red wire to a positive (+12VDC) terminal and the black wire to a solid ground on the crane. The third white wire is for optional shut offs or to sound external horns. ATTENTION: Ensure that a continuous +12 VDC (11 volts minimum and typically 13.25 VDC with the engine running) is available to the panel at all times while the crane is in operation. Otherwise the system will not operate correctly. When attaching power cable to panel gently push male end of plug into female panel receptacle. Slide plug neck back towards panel and tighten clockwise ½ turn. PLEASE NOTE: If you have ordered your Cranesmart with classified area approvals such as Class I, Division II, for example – you must ‘lock on’ each end of the interconnect cable and alarm ports. Use the allen key provided to lock/unlock the cabling. 15 Display panel installation instructions – With ALARM HUB The alarm hub is an outboard extension of the Cranesmart display which allows up to three 12V 7.5A alarm outputs to be added to the Cranesmart system according to customer specifications. The alarm hub has an on board microcontroller which supervises the alarm relays for proper operation, hot or cold. The alarm hub communicates with the Cranesmart via an RS232 serial connection. You may mount this component out of the way, under the dash or on the side of the cab for example. It does not have to be visible by the operator. CRANE SMART SYSTEM ALARM HUB The LOAD & A-2-B CO., INC. 1-888-562-3222 ALARM OUTS 12V 7.5A 3 Pin to base 12V POWER GROUND 3 Pin to base 1 Red 1 White 1 Black 2 Pin to base Single wire to 12V power Single wire to ground SERIAL 4 Pin to base Plug this 4 pin connector to the right side of Crane Smart Panel Wiring instructions – four easy steps: please take care when plugging in the finished connections. You must align the slot of the plug in the hole and then press together gently before locking. 1. ALARM OUTS: Plug the 3 pin connector tagged Alarm Outs into the plug hole immediately below the ALARM OUTS label. The other end of the cable will have up to three wires. You will find a tag on the cable itself which will identify what output (load, angle or A-2-B) is signaled on each wire. 2. 12V POWER: Plug the 3 pin connector tagged 12V POWER into the plug hole immediately below the 12V POWER label. The other end of the cable will have a single wire to attach to power. 3. GROUND: Plug the 2 pin connector tagged GROUND into the plug hole immediately below the GROUND label. The other end of the cable will have a single wire to attach to ground. 4. SERIAL or INTERCONNECT cable: Locate the power cable with a 4 pin plug on either end. To power the Cranesmart display panel you will need to plug one end of the 4 pin cable into the port labeled SERIAL on the ALARM HUB and the other into the Cranesmart display panel. This will provide both power and ground to the Cranesmart panel, while supporting the output relays for your crane shut-offs. PLEASE NOTE: When a Cranesmart system is programmed for use with an alarm hub, the alarm hub must be present and working or the display will indicate an error condition as follows: * * * ALARM HUB MALFUNCTION * * * Please Correct 16 Shut off configurations for your system: Normally each wire is identified with a tag to make installation of the shut-off circuits simple.

Please note: You will require a permissions code to complete the following sequences: This section provides information for: Load cell calibration Weight adjustment information Restoring factory calibration Angle side selection Angle zero calibration D Angle sensor selection 25 Calibration options: 1. Calibration can be restored over the telephone in a matter of minutes as the load cells are designed to self-calibrate. Call our service department at 1-888-562-3222 and ask for the load cell self calibration instructions. Have the serial number of your system handy. OR 2. Follow the detailed calibration procedures detailed below. Before you start this calibration procedure, you must have a known weight. The minimum weight amount will depend on the load cells single line pull rating. For calibration a known weight of 50% or greater of the single line pull of the load cell is best. The weights used for calibration must be known weights. This is vital. Examples: D Using a 15,000 pound SLP load cell and when running 4 parts-of-line, the ideal known weight required for calibration purposes would be 30,000 pounds. D Using a 25,000 pound SLP load cell and when running 6 parts-of-line, the ideal known weight required for calibration purposes would be 75,000 pounds. D Using a 40,000 pound SLP load cell and when running 8 parts-of-line, the ideal known weight required for calibration purposes would be 160,000 pounds. The simple formula is: D (Single line pull of load cell X parts-of-line ÷ 2 = minimum known weight required for calibration purposes) Higher or lower weights may be used however the accuracy of the calibration may be affected. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION OF RE-CALIBRATION BEFORE PROCEEDING! DO NOT POWER UP PANEL UNTIL READ AND UNDERSTOOD COMPLETELY. D load cell calibration. You must follow each of these steps in the sequence following to calibrate for each load cell, example Main, Auxiliary 1 and or Auxiliary 2. D please note that the system is calibrated from factory and does not normally require re-calibration before use. D set the ZERO value first and the SPAN value second. Steps to selecting winch prior to re-calibrating load cells – Each of these steps must be repeated for each load cell if you have a multi-line system.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION OF ZERO ANGLE CALIBRATION BEFORE PROCEEDING! DO NOT POWER UP PANEL UNTIL READ AND UNDERSTOOD COMPLETELY. Please reference page 13 of this manual for installation of the angle sensor which must be on the crane before proceeding with these instructions. The angle sensor can be mounted on either side of the boom however the default setting is to install it on the LEFT SIDE of the boom. If you determine that the right side of the boom is a more desirable location for the angle sensor, you must program the blue receiver panel for right boom operation while keeping line of sight. This section will show you how to program the panel to work with an angle sensor mounted on the RIGHT SIDE of the boom. If you have mounted the angle sensor on the left side of the boom – proceed with zeroing angle calibration in the next section of this manual. If you have mounted the angle sensor on either the top or bottom of the boom, the system will not function. These steps will describe how to program the right operating side for the angle sensor.
