Introduction
The information on this document could be subject to change without
notice.
The constructor is not responsible for possible content mistakes or
misprints that could be present in this manual.
Any reproduction, translation or copy of parts of this manual is forbidden
without prior written authorization by The constructor.

WARNINGS

The rated capacity limiter, is an electronic control device, designed to help

the operator in the safe use of the machine, warning him by means of
visual and audible alarms when approaching a dangerous condition.
However, this device won’t replace the good experience of the operator in
the proper use of the crane.
The responsibility of the operations in safety conditions of the machine is
on operator care, as well as the fulfilment of all safety rules prescribed.
The operator must be able to recognize if the data transmitted by the
system is correct and coherent with the real conditions.
He also must be able to utilize the data in order to operate in safe
conditions.
The RCL is an electronic device with several components and could be
subject to failures or defects.
The operator must recognize these events and must act consequently (to
proceed to repair, if possible, or to call the constructor assistance).
Before starting the operations with the machine, user must fully read and
understand this manual and follow the instructions written in it.

Use and maintenance Rated Capacity Limiter

System operation description

The Rated Capacity Limiter is designed to aid the operator in safe functions
of the crane.
The RCL compares automatically the lifted load to the maximum one
supplied by load table providing the necessary information to the user in
order to work in safety condition.

7KHPDLQUHDGLQJVDUH
- actual lifted load
- maximum admitted load
- tilting percentage
- operating radius
- boom angle
- boom extension (length)
- working mode (Operating mode)
- warning lights (green, yellow, red) and audible alarm.

The system determines the lifted load by computing it from the relevant
sensing devices signals (pressure or load cell), and by means of the
measures of boom angle and extension operating radius is computed
too.
The lifted load is continuously compared with the maximum allowable load
obtained from the load tables.

1) Safety

than 90% of the maximum load.
2) Warning
yellow lamp is on and audible alarm intermittently sounds; this is the
warning situation.The signal occurs when the lifted load is more than
90% and less than 100% of maximum load.
3) Alarm
red lamp is on and audible alarm sound continuously inside the cab,
another audible intermittent alarm sound outside the cab. The external
alarm device is positioned on the lower part of the main boom. Lifted
load exceeds the allowable load so that the control functions shut
down is activated.

How to select the operating mode

Before starting the lifting operation, the user must check that the operating
mode set corresponds to the real machine’s configuration ( boom,
outriggers, counterweight, jib’s length and angle, etc ) and the number
of lines and confirming it pressing Enter in order to change the operating
mode, please proceed as follows

How to select the operating mode

- by F1 key you must change the outrigger/crawlers geometry;

- by F2 key you must change the translation mode

- by F4 key you must change the configuration of the boom or the

attachment;

- by F5 key you must change the configuration of the attachment or the

Disabling the rated capacity limiter

The machine is equipped with a device for disabling the rated capacity
limiter.

To disable the limiter,

RQ XSSHUVWUXFWXUH
- turn clockwise and release key 44 on electric box. This operation
involves the led on button 45 inside the cabin to switch on;

44

LQ WKH FDELQ
- press and hold button 45 to disable the rated capacity limiter.

45

Release button 45 to re-enable limiter.

When the rated capacity limiter is disabled a visible and audible alarm
is activated outside the cab. The external alarm device is located at the
fixing point of luffing cylinder to boom.

Use and maintenance Rated Capacity Limiter

and the limiter will be operating normally again.

WARNINGS

It is forbidden to use this device to lift loads exceeding the

capacity allowed by the manufacturer.
The device shall be used only in case of system failure or
malfunction.
The device can be used only by authorised and qualified
personnel.
The key 44 should never be left on the machine; authorised
persons in charge of its use should keep it in a safe place.

 Rated Capacity Limiter Use and maintenance

Warnings
• The Rated Capacity Limiter is an electronic device with the aim to
aid the operator in the current use of the machine, warning him by
means of visual and audible alarms when approaching dangerous
conditions.
• However this device can’t replace the operator’s good experience in
the safe use of the machine.
• The responsibility of the operations in safe conditions of the machine is
the operator concern as well as the accomplishment of all prescribed
safety rules
• The Operator must be able to detect if the data given by the RCL
is correct and correspond to actual working conditions. He must be
able to utilize the data given by the RCL in order to operate in safe
conditions in any time.
• The RCL is an electronic device including several sensing components,
therefore it can be subject to failures or defects. The operator must
recognize these events and he must take action ( to proceed to repair
if possible or to call Assistance).
• Before starting the operation with the machine, the user must fully
read and understand this manual and follow the instructions at any
time.
• The RCL is supplied with a key for shut-down function by-passing.

• The key can be used only when an emergency/malfunctioning occurs
or a situation justifying its use.
• Only Authorized Personnel is allowed to the use of the key; they are
also responsible for it.

he must verify the validity of the displayed values by doing some tests.
He must verify that there are not messages or alarm indications;
he must verify the correct operation of the manoeuvre stopping
functions.
• The operator is responsible for the correct setting of the machine
load table and therefore for the right RCL set. When switching-on
the machine the last selected Table is kept valid, to allow Operator
check.
