The Command 02 ZERO SENSOR permits the calibration of the zero of most analog sensors. Two sensors
can be zeroed using this Command. Each sensor is allocated a number that corresponds to the input to which
it is connected in the system.
THESE SENSORS INCLUDE:
1. Boom extension sensor, Analog input 2.
2. Boom angle sensor, Analog input 3.
The swing sensor has its own routine and is calibrated using Command 04.

THROUGHOUT THIS PROCEDURE: DO NOT FULLY EXTEND THE BOOM IF THIS ACTION COULD
CAUSE A TIPPING CONDITION.
CARRY OUT CALIBRATION PROCEDURES ONLY WITHIN THE STABILITY LIMITS OF THE CRANE.
a) With the boom fully retracted in a horizontal position, measure the distance from the boom pivot to the hook
centerline. Note the distance.
b) Extend the boom as far as possible without tipping the crane.
c) Measure the distance from the boom pivot to the hook centerline. Note the distance.
d) Calculate boom extension from this formula: Extended length minus Retracted length equals Extension value.

DIRECTION
Swing direction is similar to a compass. Swinging to the right will increase the readings and swinging to the left will
decrease the readings. If the swing potentiometer is electrically connected in such a way that its output is in the wrong
direction, this can be accounted for during this procedure by using the direction command to change the displayed
direction.
Calibrate the swing potentiometer, as shown below.

COMMAND 05 MAIN BOOM RADIUS/MOMENT
If this is not a prototype calibration, then all radius/moment data will be precalibrated and copied over
for use during crane data reset. There should be no need to perform this routine.
a) Use this command to calibrate the radius and moment of the main boom. It requires data at high and
low angles retracted, and high and low angles with the boom extended to the prescribed lengths.
b) Carry out calibration at each length. Both high and low angle data must be stored for the calibration to
operate. This acquisition of data is described by the word CALIBRATION in the procedure. If for any
reason the data is not stored, the system will warn with the message, NO DATA and the data
CALIBRATION must be repeated.
c) A high angle is one that is higher than 60°. A low angle is lower than 20°. An attempt to acquire data
outside of these limits will result in the warning message "poor angle." When this message occurs as
the result of an error, it can be corrected. The procedure may then be continued using correct
keyboard entries.
d) When this message occurs as a result of requiring data outside the preferred angles, then the data
may be entered using the high angle or low angle key to indicate the unusual angle for which data is
being acquired.
CALIBRATE THE RADIUS/MOMENT OF THE MAIN BOOM AS SHOWN ON THE NEXT PAGES.
