M434/500 Prototype Commissioning Manual
PN W453101Rev- Nov-02-1998
Introduction
This document describes the process by which MicroGuard systems using the “Supercal” concept are set
up for use on a new crane model. If correctly followed, this procedure will ensure accurate and fast
calibrations of subsequent calibrations on the same model machine.
Procedures within this document are intentionally written as a step-by-step guide to enable the calibrating
engineer to correctly determine the characteristics of the machine. The calibrating engineer is further
assumed to be conversant with calibration methods operated through the MG434 display panel as
described within the MG434 / 500 Calibration procedure manual, and with the 5-Charts software used to
create a capacity chip for the system.
Throughout the following procedures, certain checks are applied to data that should have already been
entered as part of the capacity chip data entry (5-Charts). It is highly recommended that each of these
checks are methodically applied in order to save time and problems with future installations.
It is intended that the calibrator use this document as a method to record measured dimensions and test
results, in order that subsequent modifications to the capacity chip file can be made against this record.
This further will provide an on-file record which may serve future upgrades and changes to MicroGuard
designs.
