Preliminary checks
Before commencing calibration, it is important that certain checks of the machine geometry be made.
Geometric values have been previously entered into the capacity chip from the crane application data
sheet filled out by the crane manufacturers engineering department.
Measure the following dimensions and check against the values specified within the capacity chip file
entered into the 5-charts program.
Note the dimensions measured and verify that they match data within the capacity chip file.
If any discrepancies are found, they must be immediately repaired and a new capacity chip created in
order to continue. Establish the source of the error and ensure that if possible, it cannot occur again.
The following pages provide a list of measurement checks to be made. Measured values should be
entered in the spaces provided.
The checks in the following pages include:
Boom Hoist Geometry
Boom Hoist Cylinder
Winch #0 Geometry
Winch #1 Geometry
If the measurements do not verify with the data contained within the capacity chip,
do not
continue with the
calibration before ensuring that they are corrected and a new chip is programmed.
