GENERAL–INTENDEDUSE
GIGASENSEIIisanAntiCollisionprotectionSystemdesignedforOverheadTravelling(EOT)
cranesorothermachineryrunningonacommonsetofrails.
Inthemostcommoncase,wheretwoEOT‐cranesonthesametrackbothneedtobe
protectedfromcollision,twounitsareneeded.Whenthecraneshouldbeprotectedfrom
runningintoawallortrackend,onecompleteunit(antennaandrelaybox)incombination
withoneunitconsistingofonlytheantennaandpowersupply(norelayboxisneeded)is
required.

Theantennaismountedwiththecentreaxisinthedirectionofmovement,alwayspointing
towardstheoppositeantenna.Therelayboxismountedapartfromtheantenna,normally
nearbythecranecontrolfunctions.

EachunitworksaccordingtotheSFCW(SteppedFrequencyContinuousWave)radar
principle,sensingtherelativespeedanddistancetothereflectingtransponderinthe
oppositeantenna.Byusingamodulated“fingerprint”reflectionintheoppositeantenna,the
systemisnotdisturbedbyundesiredechoesfromsurfacesonthecraneandothermetal
parts.

Theantennaispoweredbytherelayboxanddatafromtheantennaiscontinuously
received,every128ms.Therelayboxhasthreepotentialfreerelaycontactoutputswhich
arecontrolledbyLimit1andLimit2forbrakingandstoppingthecranemovement.One
outputrelayisusedforinternalfaultmonitoring.Therelaysareheldactivebythe
electronicsandanyexceededlimitoralarmofthefunctionwillmakethemtrigger.Settings
andreadoutofparameters,areeasilyaccessibleviaadisplayandpushbuttonsintherelay
box.

Internalfaultmonitoringiscarriedoutcontinuously.Iftheoppositeunitfailsoriftheunit
cannotdetectitbecausethepowerwasswitchedoff,themodulatedreflectionisstillactive
thankstoeachantennahavingabackupsupercapacitorforthemodulating“fingerprint”
reflection,andwillcontinuetoworkforapproximately6‐12hours(dependingon
temperature).Whenthebackupsupercapacitorrunsoutofpowerinoneunit,theopposite
unitstillsensesasignalfromthegirderorothermetalpartsofthecrane,whichwilltrigger
analarmtostopthecranemovement.

GIGASENSEIIcontainsaMicrowavetransmitter.Althoughithasverylowoutputpower,this
systemmustconformtothelocalregulationssetupbytheTelecomAuthorityintheuser
country.Thisequipmentoperatesinthe9.4‐10.6GHzfrequencybands.Seeappendix1for
