6 HOW TO ACCESS TO THE CRANE CONDITION
MONITORING UNIT IN RADF13 SYSTEM. SERVICE
MODE.
6.1 General Description of Service Mode
For RADF13 systems, there are a special “Service Mode” of operation for
maintenance and set up the Crane Monitoring Unit PREMIUM via radio.
This unit is connected to the receiver RAD-RF by a serial data communication
CL20mA.
When in Service mode, the transmitter RAD-TF is able to acts as a data console
for the PREMIUM control unit, sending commands and receiving information,
using the radio link and the appropriate software in transmitter RAD-TF and in
receiver RAD-RF.
During the Service Mode of operation, due to the amount of data being sent in the
reverse link, the amount of frames per second in reverse mode is increased such
that the feedback in the display is fast enough. The movements of the crane in this
mode of operation are forbidden, this is, there are no movement orders being sent
by the transmitter or acknowledged by the receiver. The Stop relays are activated
however.
PLEASE NOTE: It could be too slow to enter in service mode by the receiver if
the transmitter and the receiver are in different channels. Whenever possible,
avoid the scanning of radio channels.
