47 Cranesmart System Version R6Self Calibration – Load CellYou can re-calibrate the system yourself using the steps below; however, you must have a known weight. Once you havethe known weight, use the following steps to re-calibrate the Load Cells.Calibrating the Load Cells is a two-step process; first, ensure you have selected the correct Winch and Parts-of-line forthe Load Cell, and then calibrate Load Zero and Span for that Load Cell. Repeat these steps for each Load Cell on thecrane.Known WeightsThe minimum weight to be used for Load cell calibration depends on the Load Cell’s single line pull rating. A knownweight of 50% or more of the single line pull capacity is best for re-calibrating the load cells.Important Calibration/Weight Adjustment InformationIn the system calibration modes a single push of the Up or Down arrows changes the increments by 100 pounds for up to16 parts-of-line.If you require 17 or more parts-of-line, the increments for a single push of the Up or Down arrows, change by 100 poundsto start and change to 200 pounds.Sheave friction can be a factor in Load system calibration. The Load cell measures force on one part-of-line (POL) andmultiplies it by the number of parts-of-line. If you are running 10 POL this may affect load calibration by 10%.For best results always make sure Sheave bearings are clean and well lubricated.When the Calibration is complete, repeat the steps with each load cell on each winch, i.e. Main, Auxiliary One, etc.Formula for known weights(Maximum single line pull of winch X parts-of-line) ÷ 2 = minimum known weight requiredExamples of Known WeightsUsing a 15,000 lb SLP load cell and running 4 parts-of-line, the ideal known calibration weight would be 30,000.Using a 25,000 lb SLP load cell and running 6 parts-of-line, the ideal known calibration weight would be 75,000.Using a 40,000 lb SLP load cell and running 8 parts-of-line, the ideal known calibration weight would be 160,000.

60 Cranesmart System Version R6Display Panel AlarmsThe panel has built-in audible and visual alarms. The alarm screens shown below alternate with the primary operatingscreen to notify the operator of unsafe crane conditions while continuing to provide load and positional information. Thealarms are accompanied by an audible alarm provided within the panel.When the display panel is installed and powered you may see system error screens and hear alarms. The alarms mayindicate which component (load cell, anti-2-block, wind speed or angle transducer) signal is not being received.The alarms are normal until all parts of the system are installed and there is a clear line of sight to the antenna. If all theparts of the system are correctly installed and the alarms are still sounding, check your signal strength display (page 58)to see if your boom mounted transmitters are sending a clear signal. You may also try moving your cab mounted antennafor better reception.If neither of these solutions solves the problem call our service department at 1-888-562-3222 or (780) 437-2986.NOTE:The audible alarm generated by the display panel is intended for the operator to hear. If you require a louder alarmwhich can be heard above the ambient noise, Cranesmart Systems can provide a louder horn which automaticallyincreases in loudness according on the ambient noise.MAIN A2BTWO BLOCK
