DESCRIPTION
The electronic limiter model ALE-100/T with delays (for liftings and lowerings
operations) and black box functions has been designed to control the overload and a
intermediate limit (or slack cable) well as the overheating in the engines and to
register the espectrum of loads of machines of lifting (hoist) according to the norm
UNE 58 919.
It can connect on any sensor of weight located in fixed rope, pulley, trolley, etc.
Besides of the control of Safe Working Period “SWP” established in the norm, it
has several registers to the control of:
-Number of maneuvers of lifting.
-Number of maneuvers of lifting to impulses.
-Time of maneuver of lifting.
-Number of overloads.
-Use of the crane.
-Use of the troley.
-Activation of alarm by hours or date to check.

1. BASIC FUNCTIONS
1.1 START UP (ALE-100/T)
Connect the equipment to its power supply (48V, 110V or 220V AC).
The equipment will realize a test by means of a sweep of all the leds, to stay
finally in the normal mode of work.
1.2 EXTERNAL TARE (ALE-100/T)
Possibility of holding the weight to 0 in a repeater or radio.
Connect the equipment to its working power (48V, 110V or 220V AC).
1.3 WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WITH PUSH-BUTTONS (ALE-100/T)
Connect the limiter to its power supply (48V, 110V or 220V AC).
During the sweep of the leds, press the [ENT] and [SALTO] keys simultaneously.
(See “Weight adjustment menu diagram with push-buttons”).
Immediately the 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% leds will make three blinks.
Later the 25% CERO led will blink, showing that it is possible to realize the
adjustment of ZERO.
Adjustment of ZERO:
If we want to realize it, we will unload the crane (if it is loaded) and wait until
the 25% CERO led remains illuminated (the flashing led indicates unstable weight,
permanent led indicates stable weight), in this moment we will press the [ENT] key,
the 25% CERO led will turn off and the zero will be memorized.
If we do not want to make the adjustment of ZERO, it will be enough to press the
[SALTO] key and automatically we will go to adjustment of F.E. (full scale).
Later the 100% F.E. led will blink, indicating that it is ready to make the
adjustment of the F.E. (full scale).

Adjustment of the F.S. (full scale):
If we want to realize it, we will load the crane with an equal weight on the
nominal capacity with this one (having external terminal of configuration will not be
necessary the nominal capacity), and will wait until the 100% F.E. led remains
illuminated (the flashing led indicate unstable weight, permanent led indicate stable
weight), in this moment we will press the [ENT] key, the 100% F.E. led will turn off
and the full scale will be memorized.
Later the equipment will be restarted.
If we do not want to make the adjustment of F.E., it will be enough to press the
[SALTO] key and automatically the equipment will be restarted.

1.6 PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION
In the ALE100-T limiters with firmware version "M37", the RS485 communication
protocols available are:
-IKUSI
-AUTEC (mod. LK)
-AUTEC (mod. NEO)
-AIRPES (RP). Compatible with AMR-XXX “RP-nn” and 1200 Bds.
-AIRPES (ST). Compatible with AMR-XXX “ST-nn” and 9600 Bds.
-JAY (04). Sending weight in the direction 04 (Modbus).
-JAY (05). Sending weight in the direction 05 (Modbus).
-JAY (WHC). Sending black box data and weight as messages (Modbus).
The default protocol is IKUSI.
In order to communicate with a radiocontrol different (AUTEC or JAY) or with
AIRPES repeaters, we will perform the following steps:
- With the limiter in normal mode, press (SAL) and without releasing, press
(ENT).
- Release both buttons when the display:
SOBR. -
100% -
75% -
50% -
25% O
C.F. O
As a result, leds are turned off and after 1” is displayed:
SOBR. -
100% O
75% O
50% O
25% O
C.F. -
Indicating that the protocol AUTEC (mod. LK) is selected.
To set a specific protocol, we follow the same procedure to select the desired
option.

100% -O O - O -- -
75% -O O O O -- O
50% O O -O O -O -
25% O O O O - O - -
C.F. ---- - -- -
In the case of AUTEC, IKUSI or JAY (WHC) protocols, if the remote control is
operating, the selected protocol is displayed:
PROTOCOL or PROTOCOL or PROTOCOL
AUTEC IKUSI JAY
You can check the current protocol configured by pressing from the normal working
mode, the (SAL) key for approx. 5" in order to display the combination of LEDs
indicated in the table.
Note 1: If you select the protocol AIRPES, JAY(04) or JAY(05) the black box data
can not be displayed on the radio control.
Note 2: If you select a protocol of radio control and you need see the weight in the
AMM-40S, will be necessary go to option [PESO] (weight) in the menu and
confirm with (ENT).
Note 3: When connecting the AMM-40S for any query, set, etc…, the sending data to
the radio control will be temporarily canceled, re-establish itself once the
limiter ALE100-T is turn off an turn on.
