j)
Use the UP/DOWN keys to ramp the display to the required value (i.e., calculated light load
above).
k)
Start hoisting down slowly.
l)
Press ENTER to accept value. Stop hoisting.
m) Proceed to next section “Calibrating Heavy Aux Load”.
Step 2)
Calibrating Heavy Aux Load
a)
The load used should be heavy enough to produce approximately 70% of the maximum
main winch line-pull, whilst staying within current SWL.
b)
The total weight of any lifting gear or tackle under the hook block (such as slings, lifting
frames, etc.) must be added to the weight of the heavy test load.
c)
Enter calibration mode, if not already activated, and select the “Calibrate Heavy Aux Load”
function code.
d)
Use the UP/DOWN keys to ramp the display to the required value (i.e., calculated heavy
load above).
e)
Start hoisting the load up slowly.
f)
Press ENTER to accept value. Stop hoisting.
g)
Select “Calibrate Heavy Aux Load”.
h)
Use the UP/DOWN keys to ramp the display to the required value (i.e., calculated heavy
load above).
i)
Start hoisting down slowly.
j)
Press ENTER to accept value. Stop hoisting.
Step 3)
Verify that the Aux Load Calibration
a)
Use the “VIEW CALIBRATED AUX LOAD” function code.
7.4.10.
Using Load/Angle Correction Function
On cranes using single sheave load-line sensors, the rope dead-weight is greatest at low boom angle
but disappears at higher angles. This changing dead-weight influence can be compensated for as it
will cause the displayed load to increase marginally as the boom is luffed down.
Load/Angle correction is accessible when calibrating through use of four calibration function codes as
follows (refer RCI System Configuration Documents in Attachments):
•
Low Angle for Load Correction - Applies to both Main and Aux winch
•
High Angle for Load correction - Applies to both Main and Aux winch
•
Load / Angle Correction Factor for Main Winch
•
Load / Angle Correction Factor for Aux Winch
These function codes allow the operator to enter the luffing range of the crane and the change in the
displayed load that is observed over this range.
The
Low Angle
you enter should be the lowest angle the crane can actually luff to in operation.
Similarly the
High Angle
should be set to the highest angle the crane can be luffed to during normal
operation.
How to Calculate the Load / Angle Correction Factor
The number entered here is a correction value, when this number is 0.0 no correction is being applied
(i.e. Load / Angle correction is disabled). It expresses the
load error (in tonnes)
seen when the crane is
luffed from the highest angle in the luff range to the lowest angle. This correction is applied
progressively from the highest boom angle through to the lowest boom angle.
To determine the error value simply position the boom at the highest boom angle and take note of the
load reading. Luff the boom through the entire operating range (taking notice the load value is
increasing when luffing lower) and once at the lowest possible boom angle record the load value
again. The correction factor is simply the difference between the two load values you have recorded.
Enter the correction value against the appropriate Function Code and luff the crane through its
operating range once again to ensure the correction was successful.
