6 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Overview The GS550 system includes the cabin mounted GS550 radio display and compatible crane mounted sensors. The GS550 creates a two-way radio network with the sensors to bring required lift data to the operator. Hoist load, boom and jib angles, boom length, wind speed and pending two-block can be detected and indicated to the operator in real time. Working load radius can be calculated and compared to a rated capacity chart (if programmed). Furthermore the GS550 can be programmed to generate warnings, alarms and lockout commands, all triggered by adjustable thresholds and limits. All these events can be recorded by the data logger with a time and date stamp. The exact operational function of the GS550 system depends on the sensor configuration used and the rated capacity charts programmed (where applicable). The GS550 includes an infrared port to facilitate software and chart updates and data logger downloads using a compatible palm or cell phone. Compatible sensors include the GS050 anti-two-block, the GC series load cells and GS001 series line rider and load pin transmitters, the GS010 angle sensors, the GS011 angle sensor and length transmitter and the GS020 wind speed sensor. The GS550 system is designed as an operator aide and is in no way a substitute for safe operating practice.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 7 Start-Up The GS550 must be correctly programmed for the system sensors installed. The GS550 powers up with several green lights flashing, this indicates that the display is waking up programmed sensors and creating a radio communication link with each. Once a reliable radio communication network is established, all green lights will remain lit without flashing. This process may take up to one minute. The delay is created by the battery management function and does not affect system security. If an anti-two-block switch detects a pending two-block event, if a load cell detects a change in load, or if an angle sensor detects a change in angle, the appropriate radio link will be established in less than 0.1 seconds. To immediately wake-up a load cell, lift the hook with a load; to immediately wake up an angle sensor, change the boom angle. In special conditions of lockout created by a missing sensor, you may bypass that sensor until the next display power up by pressing bypass for 10 seconds. That sensor green light should stop flashing and then turn off.

8 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Operation Display GS550 The GS550 displays detailed information on the backlit, two lines liquid crystal display (LCD). Additional information including warnings, alarms, and radio status is communicated by the display lights and the display buzzer. Load Display The GS550 typically displays load information as follows: the number of parts of lines, the hoist indicator, the tare/no tare indicator, the weight, the weight units. Very large load values may overwrite the weight units and tare indication symbols. Parts of line Hoist indicator No tare indicator Load Weight units Figure: GS550 load display Figure: GS550 front view 1 12500 R:24.2 27000 Jib 30ft Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Infrared communication port Bar graph Keypad Sensor status lights

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 9 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Detailed lift data and system information is displayed here. The liquid crystal display (LCD) can be adjusted to facilitate viewing in varied lighting conditions. See Menu 3) Display Settings. Sensor Status Lights Detailed lift data and system information is displayed here. The liquid crystal display (LCD) can be adjusted to facilitate viewing in varied lighting conditions. 2 Block The red 2 Block alarm light comes on when a programmed anti-two-block switch is in alarm. The green “M” (main) and “A” (auxiliary) anti-two-block radio status lights stay on when the GS550 has a reliable radio communication link to all programmed anti-two-block sensors. The radio status lights flash green when communication is intermittent or absent. The M refers to the first anti-two-block sensor programmed in the sensor list. The A refers to all other anti-two-block sensors programmed in the sensor list. Load The red Load alarm light comes on when a load sensor is in overload. The green “M” (main) and “A” (auxiliary) load radio status green lights stay on when the GS550 has a reliable radio communication link to all programmed sensors. The radio status lights flash green when communication is intermittent or absent. The M refers to the first sensor programmed in the sensor list except anti-two-block. The A refers to all other sensors programmed in the sensor list except anti-two-block. Low Battery The amber light of the battery icon comes on when battery life for a sensor programmed in the sensor list drops below 10%. Normally several weeks of battery life remains from the moment the low battery light first comes on. Bar Graph The bar graph displays the gross load lifted by a load sensor as a proportion of the maximum load allowed, expressed in 10% increments. Maximum load is the lowest of the operator set maximum load limit and the working load limit (WLL) as calculated from the rated capacity charts*. When there are two or more load sensors programmed in the sensor list the bar graph will indicate the load for the sensor closest to its maximum allowable. Infrared Port The infrared port is used to download data from the data logger or to upload firmware updates and capacity charts using a GT103 portable download tool or other compatible device. * WLL is indicated by rated capacity indicators only.

10 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Keypad The keypad consists of six buttons used to control, consult, program, and troubleshoot the GS550 display and system. Each button has two functions; a primary (operation) function and a secondary (menu) function for navigation and programming. The secondary functions are described in the section GS550 Menu System. Primary functions: Bypass: Press Bypass to override lockout for emergency purposes*. The alarm will remain silent until the next alarm; lockout will re-engage as soon as the button is released. Tare: Zero the hook and rigging weight. Step 1. Press Tare to enter the tare menu. Step 2. Use Next to select the load sensor. Step 3. If no tare value, then press Tare to create a tare value equal to the weight on the load sensor. Example: with hook block and rigging only. Load display is net weight (gross weight minus tare value). Step 4. To remove tare value, press Tare. Step 5. Press Bypass to return to the operation display. Tare Indicators Load Indication LCD Tare Light LCD Bar Graph No tare value Off Gross Weight Gross weight Tare value = x On Net Weight Gross weight Table: Tare indicators and load indication Hoist: Press Hoist to change the operating display page. The exact order and content of operation display pages depends on system sensor and capacity chart configuration. Systems with more than one load sensor typically display main hoist load information on the first page and auxiliary hoist load information on the second page. * This applies only if the GS550 has been correctly installed to control crane lockout function.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 15 Crane Rigging – Capacity Chart Selection The GS550 can be programmed to assist the operator by indicating the working load limit (WLL) from the crane specific rated capacity charts according to the angle and radius information received from the boom mounted sensors. Under no circumstances is the GS550 a substitute for safe operating practices. The operator must fully understand the crane rigging and the crane rated capacity chart to be able to correctly program the GS550 for rated capacity indication. The GS550 will not take into account critical variables such as weather, ground and crane conditions that will reduce the safe working capacity of the crane. In order to indicate WLL the GS550 must be programmed with a valid rated capacity chart specific to the crane. The capacity chart programmed can be verified on the chart number page of the Information menu: press Info → Next → Next (press Exit to return to the operation display). If the chart number information screen says “Chart not loaded” the GS550 has not been programmed to function as a rated capacity indicator. If rated capacity indication is required contact the person responsible for the GS550 system installation and maintenance. If in doubt, contact LSI. Rated capacity indication is based on interpretation of a selected capacity chart using boom angle and load radius. This requires: Installation: The GS550 must be programmed for a correctly installed boom angle sensor and a radius sensor. Additionally a length sensor will be required for telescopic booms; luffing jibs may require an angle sensor. Furthermore, the GS550 must be programmed with accurate mounting point dimensions for the head sheaves, jibs, extensions and other structures that will determine working load radius for each of the hoist lines used; reference menu 4C) Radius Settings. Operation: The chart must be selected by “rigging” the working sheave in the GS550; this is done by following the chart wizard in menu 2) Crane Rigging. The Chart Wizard Important! It is possible to leave the chart wizard at any time by pressing Bypass; the GS550 will display the message “Rigging ABORTED”. Current capacity chart selection may have changed, possibly changing the rated capacity indicated by the GS550. Always complete the chart wizard all the way to the “Rigging ok” message before operating the crane. Step 1. Press Menu → Next → Enter to start the chart wizard. Step 2. The first page of the chart wizard is generally “select sheave”. Use Up and Down to adjust the sheave number. If the there is only one load sensor in the system leave the sheave value at one. With two or more load sensors in the system sheave one (the main hoist) is associated with the first load sensor in the sensor list; sheave two (the auxiliary) is associated with the second sensor in the sensor list etc. Step 3. Press Next to advance to the next step of the chart wizard. Step 4. The steps that follow will depend on the size and complexity of the rated capacity chart itself. Typical steps include chart selection, outrigger / on rubber selection and boom length selection (lattice cranes only). Use Up and Down to select from the list of choices and then press Next to advance to the next step. For accurate rated capacity indication the rigging configuration selected in the chart wizard must reflect the actual rigging of the working sheave.

16 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Step 5. After the last step has been completed the GS550 will display “Rigging ok” and then it will return to the operation display. If a sensor required by the selected capacity chart is not a part of the system or has not established communication with the GS550, then the GS550 will display “sensor invalid”. 1) Parts of line 2) Crane Rigging Select Sheave Chart Rigging ok MainBoomJib30ft Jib40ft Jib50ft Up/Down123 Up/DownOperation Screen 12345Figure: The chart wizard – follow steps 1 through 5 to select the capacity chart Menu Next EnterNext Next

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 21 Installation Display GS550 Important! Do not crack or puncture the membrane fascia. The GS550 display is splash and rain proof. Waterproofing depends in part on the integrity of the membrane. Important! Do not power wash the display. The GS550 display is not designed to withstand high-pressure washing devices that can erode the membrane fascia seal or create fissures in the membrane fascia. Power washing the display voids warranty coverage. Mounting Bracket Step 1. Determine the mounting location. The display may be installed either inside or outside the cab. It can be mounted on the dash, on a sidewall, or on the ceiling of the cab. To ensure reliable radio communication between sensors and the GS550, the antenna must not be in contact with metal and must have a direct and clear line of sight to the antennas of all sensors. The mounting bracket requires a flat surface of at least 2 inches in diameter on both sides and where the back of the surface is accessible in order to tighten the nuts. Step 2. Drill ¼ inch boltholes through the mounting surface with a ¼ inch bit following either the three, or the four, hole configuration. Step 3. Install the display with the supplied bolts. Add the washers and the lock nut behind the mounting surface and tighten sufficiently. Tip: If the nuts are on the outside of the cab, caulk with silicone between the washers and the cab to prevent water entry. Figure: Display mounting bracket footprint

22 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Step 4. Loosen the wing nut of the bracket arm to adjust display orientation to facilitate viewing by the operator and then tighten it back up. Power Supply and Lockout Connection Step 1. Connect the black wire (ground) to the negative terminal of the crane battery or the panel connection; alternatively bolt the black wire to the body of the machine with a ¼ inch or 5/16 inch bolt. The ground connection must be strong enough to sustain 3 Amp. Step 2. Connect the red wire to a fused accessory source, rated at least 3 Amps, that supplies +12 or +24 volts when the crane is on. The GS550 will automatically detect the voltage level and adjust itself. Step 3. Lockout number 1 (if required): connect the white wire to a Bosch relay coil. Connect the other terminal of the relay to the ground. When operating properly the white wire will energize at the battery positive level. Troubleshooting; if no voltage is present on the white wire remove the load connected to the lockout. Current over 1.5 Amps on the white wire triggers an auto re-settable fuse. Current flow will resume several seconds after the short circuit is eliminated. Figure: The power cable requires about 4 ½ in. behind the display to protect the connector

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 29 Load Cell WARNING! Capacity and safety factor for load cells and adapter plate assemblies are calculated for load along the intended axis of load (vertical with the assembly hanging free); side loading may cause load cell and adapter plate assembly to fail, causing load to drop. Lifts must be rigged such that the load cell and adapter plate assembly hang free and not be subjected to side loading. Important! The load cell antenna must not be in contact with metal. Important! The load cell antenna must have a clear line of sight to the GS550 display. Important! The load cell antenna must point to the left or to the right of the boom; it must not point directly to, or away from, the GS550 display. Step 1. Install load cell bushings. Assembly of the load cell and adapter plates must be configured to the pin size required by the specific dead end or hook to which it is to be attached. In all cases, the bushings must be used where possible to adapt the holes in the load cell to the pins. Bushings must be secured with the hex screws provided, one on each side of the load cell. Step 2. Place at least one washer between adapter plate and pin head or nut on each end of the pin that links the adapter plates to the load cell. Additional washers should be added equally to each end of the pin as required to inhibit excessive lateral movement of load cell and adapter plates along the pin. Step 3. If the dead end or hook to be connected to the adapter plates requires a larger opening, washers may be placed between the load cell and the adapter plates equally on both sides of the load cell. Important! On the smaller of the two pins, the space between the link and the plates should not exceed ¼ inch either side of the centred link regardless of washer placement. Step 4. In all cases the washers must be placed symmetrically such that the load cell is centred on the pins. Step 5. Secure the pins with the nuts and cotter pins provided. Step 6. A qualified person must verify every lift assembly before first use and periodically thereafter, including before any new, difficult or otherwise different lift.

30 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Angle Sensors for the Boom or Jib WARNING! Keep the angle sensor away from the boom and any connecting metal structures when welding the metal lugs to the boom. Proximity to welding may cause permanent damage to the angle sensor and prevent accurate angle indication. Mounting Procedure The GS010 series angle sensors can be turned on by starting up the GS550 display to which they are programmed. The angle sensor can then assist in levelling itself with the red and green LED. Figure: A wedge used to mount the angle sensor with its top/bottom axis within 15° of vertical – front view Boom Wedge Cabin Angle sensor Figure: Do not mount the angle sensor with its top/bottom axis more than 15° from vertical – front view Boom Angle sensor Cabin Figure: Angle sensor top/bottom axis within 15° of vertical – front view Boom Angle sensor Cabin Boom centreline Boom Angle sensor Cabin Figure: Angle sensor level with the boom – side view

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 31 Step 1. Determine the angle sensor position. a. The GS010-01 boom angle sensor can be mounted on either side of the boom. b. The GS010-02 360° angle sensor must be mounted on the left side of the jib. c. The angle sensor must be level with the boom centreline. d. The top / bottom axis of the angle sensor must be within 15 degrees of vertical e. The angle sensor must have a clear line of sight to the cabin mounted display. f. The angle sensor antenna must not contact a metal object. Step 2. Install the welding pads; keep the angle sensor well removed from the weld site and any connecting metal objects while welding. Step 3. Mount the angle sensor to the weld pads with the screws and washers provided. Step 4. Verify angle indication on the GS550 LCD. Step 5. If the angle displayed by a GS010-01 boom angle sensor is a high negative value, then tilt the angle sensor up over 45 degrees, and then tilt back down to horizontal. The GS010-01 boom angle sensor will automatically detect on which side of the boom it is installed and correct angle indication accordingly. Tip: To enable crane functions when alarm conditions are present, press Bypass for 10 seconds to enter the “Rig Mode”. Press Bypass once to exit. Angle Calibration Procedure № 1: Mechanical Set-Up Step 1. Level the boom such that it is perfectly horizontal; use a high quality bubble or digital angle sensor. Verify the GS550 display indicates 0.0 degrees. If not then: Step 2. (GS011 angle/length sensor only) Carefully remove the cover of the LS101 cable reel. Step 3. Loosen the mounting screw in the slotted hole of the angle sensor mounting plate. Step 4. Pivot the angle sensor slightly until angle indication is correct. Tip: When the angle sensor is moved very slowly, it may take several seconds to see an update at the GS550 display. Instead move the sensor up a couple of degrees, and then bring it back down to where it should be. The small light on the angle sensor flashes when it transmits a new value to the display. Figure: Typical operation page with boom angle indication

32 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Angle Calibration Procedure № 2: Correct with the GS550 Calibrate angle indication by adjusting the trim (offset) value in the GS550 display; the GS550 will then communicate the updated trim value to the sensor. Step 1. Position the boom at a precisely known angle. Step 2. Press Menu → Next → Next → Next → Enter → Next → Enter → Next → Enter → to go to manual calibration menu page 4B2A) Step 3. Use Back and Next to select the angle sensor to be calibrated. Step 4. Press Enter → Next to got to the trim adjustment page. Step 5. Use Up and Down to adjust the trim value. Example: If angle indicated is 0.3° over the actual angle, adjust the trim value to -0.3. Example: If angle indicated is 0.9° below the actual angle, adjust the trim value to 0.9. Step 6. Press Enter to save changes. Step 7. Press Exit four times to return to the operation display. Step 8.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 33 Anti-Two-Block Switch GS050 WARNING! Keep the anti-two-block switch away from the boom and any connecting metal structures when welding mounting brackets to the boom. Proximity to welding may cause permanent damage to the anti-two-block switch and render the anti-two-block system unsafe. Important! To ensure reliable radio communication between the anti-two-block switch and the GS550 display the following conditions must be respected: • The antenna of the anti-two-block switch must not be in contact with metal. • The anti-two-block switch antenna must point to the left or to the right of the boom; it must not point directly to, or away from, the GS550 display. • The anti-two-block switch antenna must have a clear line of sight to the GS550 display; in most cases this means mounting the sensor on the same side of the boom as the operator's cab Step 1. Verify the GS050 anti-two-block switch is programmed to the GS550 display. Switches shipped with displays are pre-programmed in the factory. Test: if the switch has been programmed to the display then the display will go in to two-block alarm when the wire rope of the switch is released. Press Bypass to silence the alarm until the next two-block event or simulation. If the switch has not been programmed to the display, this should be done before proceeding to step 2. See How to Add a Sensor to the GS550. Step 2. Position the sensor mounting bracket. To ensure that the sensor can pivot securely on the mounting bracket throughout the full range of boom angle, the mounting bracket must be positioned at a 30° from horizontal with the boom parallel to the ground and such that the locking pin of the mounting bracket points up. Bolt or weld securely. Figure: Mounting bracket footprint and recommended orientation. All dimensions are in inches. ← Boom Tip

At minimum boom angle, with no additional weight on the hook block and one part of line only, lift the boom just enough to have the hook block suspend and clear the sensor chain and weight. ii. Hoist slowly until the red two-block warning lights comes on and the buzzer sounds. Note the hoisting distance remaining; this distance must be great enough to allow the operator and the lockout system, if installed, to prevent a two-block event. If necessary, add lightweight chain between the sensor and weight to increase warning distance. If still insufficient, contact your service representative.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 37 Step 4. Chain length adjustment № 2 – maximum boom angle i. Raise the boom to the maximum angle. ii. Hoist slowly until the red two-block warning lights comes on and the buzzer sounds. Note the hoisting distance remaining; this distance must be great enough to allow the operator and the lockout system, if installed, to prevent a two-block event. If necessary, add lightweight chain between the sensor and weight to increase warning distance. Verify that the warning distance is equal to or greater than that determined at the minimum boom angle. Tip: Have a second person stand off to the side of the crane to closely monitor the hoisting distance from the hook block to the head sheave block. Step 5. Chain length adjustment № 3 – speed test: Lower the boom until the weight height becomes visually clear to the operator. Repeatedly create two-block, progressively hoisting faster, to ensure that the warning and lockout work within acceptable amount of time and distance. Increase the length of the small chain if needed.

38 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Length Sensor Cable Reel WARNING! Arc welding will damage LSI sensors, causing immediate failure or greatly reducing functional life. Arc welding on or near LSI equipment will void warranty. Keep LSI equipment well clear of any arc welding. The GS101 includes the LS101 cable reel and the GS011 angle/length sensor. The GS011 is concealed under the cover of the LS101, though the antenna is visible. Following cable reel installation and boom length indication calibration, boom angle indication will have to be verified and possibly calibrated. Refer to the sections Angle Calibration Procedure № 1 and Angle Calibration Procedure № 2 for instructions. Maximum Boom Extension Confirm the extension of the LS101 cable reel is compatible with the boom. Step 1. Note the cable reel maximum extension: 100 feet (30.5 metres) unless specified otherwise. T = ______________ Step 2. Note the retracted boom length. A = ______________ Step 3. Note the maximum extended boom length, not including jib. B = ______________ Step 4.

D = T – C = ______________ Maximum cable reel extension must be greater than maximum boom extension. GS011 angle/length sensor antenna Figure: GS101 angle & length sensor LS011 length sensor cable reel

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 39 Mounting the Cable Reel Step 1. Determine placement. Find a clear mounting position on the left side of the first (lowest) section of the boom. The mounting position should be close to the base of the boom; at least ten feet (three metres) from the tip of the first section and where the cable reel won’t obstruct free boom movement at all boom angles and slew positions. Furthermore, the reel must be placed such that the cable has a clear straight line to the end of the last section at all boom lengths. Step 2. Mount the welding tabs. They must be placed parallel to each other, with 16 ⅛ inches between the holes’ centres. Install the tabs such that they create a level mounting position in line with the boom at 0 degrees. Tip: When factory installed the GS011 angle/length sensor transmitter is integrated to the LS101 cable reel with the angle sensor zeroed. If the cable reel is installed perfectly level on the boom at 0 degrees, the angle sensor of the GS011 will also be zeroed. Minor adjustments to the angle sensor (within plus or minus two degrees) are possible after cable reel installation. Step 3. Attach the reel to the welding tabs with the bolts provided. The reel should be orientated with the GS011 angle/length sensor antenna coming out the top side of the cable reel cover. Step 4. Install the first cable guide (PA111) about 10 feet (3 metres) from the cable reel. Correct alignment of the first guide is critical to ensure orderly winding of the cable on the reel. Install the other guides at the end of each of the intermediate sections and the anchor (PA113) at the end of the last section. All guides must be aligned so as to permit unobstructed movement of the cable. Step 5. Pull out at least 5 feet (1 ½ metres) of cable, but not more than half the excess extension D (see maximum boom extension step five). Feed through the cable guides and attach to the cable anchor on the tip of the last boom section. If additional cable length is required to reach the cable anchor point remove winds from the reel without putting additional tension on the cable reel spring. There should be minimal tension on the cable reel spring when the boom is fully retracted. Step 6. Verify the boom length indicated on the GS550 LCD. Boom length is indicated following the length abbreviation “L”, typically on the first or second operation page. Boom length indicated should equal the actual total boom length. The actual boom length is the Boom base →← Boom tip Welding pads level and in line with the boom at 0 degrees Welding pad Welding pad holes tapped ⅜-16 Welding pad holes 2 ¼ in. apart, centre to centre Boom at 0 degrees from horizontal Welding pads holes 16 ⅛ in. apart, centre-to-centre Figure: Cable reel mounting position

Install the angle sensor (see Installation – Angle Sensors for the Boom or Jib) and verify the accuracy of its reading. Telescopic boom cranes: install the length sensor (see Installation – Length Sensor Cable Reel). Make sure the length is displayed properly for retracted and extended boom. Lattice boom cranes, GS550 not programmed with rated capacity charts: the boom length must be entered manually in the display. This value must be adjusted every time the length of the lattice boom is changed. To access this page in the main operating pages, press on the Hoist button several times and one of the first 3 or 4 pages should offer to adjust the boom length. Note: the boom length adjustment screen will not be visible if the system is setup with a cable reel system because the cable reel will provide boom length automatically. The page will not be visible if the system has charts in it because the rigging menu will offer the available boom length (see System Operation – Crane Rigging) Enter the jib length if the working hoist is rigged to a jib. This value must be adjusted every time the length of the jib is changed. Enter the jib-offset angle if the working hoist is rigged to a jib. This value must be adjusted every time the angle of the jib is changed. Note: for accurate radius display when working with a luffing jib, an angle sensor must be installed on the luffing jib. Radius Settings The boom length (lattice cranes only), jib length and jib offset angle must be correctly entered in the GS550 for accurate radius display. Furthermore, upon installation the GS550 must be calibrated for several crane specific angle and length parameters. Default values may have been programmed at the factory before shipping. Upon installation these parameters must be confirmed and accurate radius display verified. In most chart systems, the radius settings have already been pre-adjusted and radius should only need verification. If capacity chart did not include both, angle & radius, then the chart entry person may not have been able to adjust radius settings variables. Step 1) To enter the radius settings screens, enter in the menu sections 4C.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 43 Step 2) Determine the following measurements to within a tenth of a foot: slew offset, sheave head length and sheave radius. These measurements are described in the subsections Radius Parameters for a Lattice Crane and Radius Parameters for a Hydraulic Crane that follow. Verify that the radius parameters have been set correctly; the values may be adjusted with the + and - buttons. Press the Next button to proceed from one parameter to the next. Step 3) Test the radius indication. Compare the radius displayed with the actual radius at different lengths of boom extension and different boom angles. If the radius displayed by the GS550 corresponds to the actual radius in all cases, the radius function is correctly calibrated. Be sure that all radius parameters have been carefully noted to facilitate re-calibration in the event of component or system upgrade, change, or re-installation. If there is a difference between displayed radius and actual radius that remains constant during changes in boom length and angle the slew offset can be adjusted to compensate (see step 2 above). E.g. if the radius displayed is always 2.3 feet longer than the actual radius subtract 2.3 from slew offset. If the radius displayed is still different from the actual radius proceed to the subsection Radius Display Troubleshooting that follows. 125400 A:20.0 L: 16.0 R: 7.5

46 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Boom Deflc: 0.0 +-change valueRadius Display Troubleshooting For accurate radius calculation the actual boom length and angle, and the jib length and angle must be correctly displayed by the GS550 and all radius parameters must be correctly measured and entered in the radius settings of the GS550 display. Before proceeding with troubleshooting confirm that all steps described at the beginning of the Radius Calculation section, including the radius parameters subsection, have been followed. The most common reason for error is caused by incorrect slew offset compensation. If the difference between the radius displayed and the actual radius remains constant through all boom angles and boom lengths the slew offset should be adjusted accordingly. Boom Deflection Some booms bend significantly with a load on the hook, thus reducing effective radius. Boom deflection can be verified if the displayed radius is equal to the actual radius with the boom at 0° and at 90° but greater at a boom angle of 45° (boom deflection is greatest at 45°). Furthermore, the effect of boom deflection is greater when the boom is longer. To compensate for boom deflection, adjust the boom deflection value in the radius settings of the GS550. Follow the steps below to determine the appropriate boom deflection compensation value. Step 1) Raise the boom to 45° with a known load. Step 2) Compare the radius displayed with the actual radius. Change the boom deflection compensation value and again compare the radius displayed with the actual radius. Adjust the boom deflection value until the radius displayed equals the actual radius. Tip: with the boom at 45° and the maximum load on the hoist, the boom deflection compensation value should equal the difference in feet between the radius displayed and the actual radius. With the boom at 45° and half the maximum load on the hoist, the boom deflection compensation value should equal twice the difference in feet between the radius displayed and the actual radius. No Load Deflection The "No load deflection" value (menu 4C7) permits compensation for booms that deflect significantly under their own weight, even with no load on the hoist. This value should not be adjusted unless so advised by LSI technical support.

Load indication should be tested periodically with known loads at both the high and low ranges of load sensor capacity.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 53 Four Point Lift The following functions are available for applications such as container cranes and gantry cranes that require load indication from four load sensors simultaneously. 1. Sum load indication 2. Imbalance 3. Slack Rope Each of these functions can be used to generate an alarm condition on the lockout wires of the GS550. Sum Load Indication When sum load indication is programmed the sum of the loads on the pre-determined load sensors is indicated by the operation display. To activate sum load indication program a “Sum load sensor” in the sensor list. The “id number” is used to identify the load sensors to be summed. The Sum Maximum Limit The maximum limit for the sum load can be adjusted in the limit menu; the default maximum limit for sum load indication is 10000 (lb or kg depending on load display units). Program Sum Load Indication Step 1. Press Menu → Next → Next → Next → Enter → Enter to go to the sensor list, menu page 4A1. Step 2. Press Next repeatedly to advance to the next available sensor position, usually following the four load sensors. Step 3. Determine the sum load cell “id number”.

54 Revision 2 GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Imbalance Systems programmed for four load sensors and four load sum indication can be programmed with an imbalance sensor to warn against uneven load distribution or against unwanted rope payout if one corner of the load touches down before the others. The Imbalance Factor Limit The imbalance factor is the percent difference between the load on one load sensor and the average load on the other three. The imbalance factor is calculated for each of the four load sensors and then compared to an adjustable limit. The default imbalance factor limit is 15%. The Imbalance Minimum Limit Imbalance is not calculated when the four load sum is below the imbalance minimum limit. Adjust this limit to avoid generating an imbalance alarm under minimum load conditions (for example: with an empty container or with rigging only). The default imbalance minimum limit is 1000 (lb or kg depending on load display units). Program the Imbalance Sensor Step 1. Press Menu → Next → Next → Next → Enter → Enter to go to the sensor list, menu page 4A1. Step 2. Press Next repeatedly to advance to the next available sensor position, usually following the four load sensors and the sum load sensor. Step 3. The id can be left at 0, press Next. Step 4. The sensor type should flash; use Up and Down to select the sensor type Imbalance sensor. Only one imbalance sensor is required to calculate imbalance for all four load sensors. Step 5. Press Enter to save any changes. Step 6. Press Exit three times to return to the operation display. Step 7. Confirm the imbalance factor limit and the imbalance minimum limit in the limit menu. How it Works Load № 1 Imbalance Factor = 100 x Average (Load 2, 3, and 4) – Load 1 Average (Load 2, 3, and 4) Example: Imbalance factor calculation for load sensor № 1 A 7500 B 8100 C 8000 D 8200 Load № 1 (A) Imbalance Factor = 100 X 8100 – 7500 8100 = 7.5 % Example: If the imbalance factor limit is 15%, then the system is safe. A 6800 B 8100 C 8000 D 8200 Load № 1 (A) Imbalance Factor = 100 X 8100 – 6800 8100 = 16 % Example: If the imbalance factor limit is 15%, then an imbalance alarm is generated.

GM550 v1043 FCC-IC.doc Revision 2 55 Slack Rope Systems programmed for four load sensors and four load sum indication can be programmed with a slack rope sensor to warn against unwanted rope payout when the load touches down. The Slack Rope Minimum Limit The slack rope sensor compares the sum load to an adjustable slack rope minimum limit. When the sum load goes below the slack rope limit a slack rope alarm is generated. The slack rope limit is usually adjusted to less than the weight of all rigging below the load sensors. The default slack rope minimum limit for is 1000 (lb or kg depending on load display units).
