1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual describes the functions and operation of the iVISOR mentor QVGA load moment
indicator (LMI).
The purpose of the load moment indicator (below called the LMI) is to provide key information to the
operator of the loader which is needed for the operation of the loader within the operating ranges
specified by the manufacturer. The LMI provides the operator with information about the angle and
height of the boom, working radius, rated load and the actual load.
The iVISOR mentor QVGA load moment indicator comprises a central microprocessor unit with an
integrated display and operating console together with various sensors to record measured values.
The system components are connected via CAN bus.
The system works on the principle of a target / actual comparison. The actual value, resulting from the
pressure and angle measurement, is compared with the target values stored in the central unit’s
memory and analysed by the microprocessor.
If the crane nears its safe load limit, the system will warn the crane operator by means of both
acoustic and optical signals. In addition, as soon as the crane reaches an unauthorized operating
status, all crane movements will be switched off that would increase the load moment on the crane.
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the contents of this manual without notice. Hirschmann offers no guarantee
whatsoever for this material, including guarantees with reference to commercial availability and suitability for particular
applications. Hirschmann shall not be liable for errors contained herein or for identical or consequential damages in connec-
tion with the furnishing, performance, or use of this manual. This manual is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. The

2. IMPORTANT NOTES
The LMI is an operating aid that warns the crane operator of imminent overloading or of the approach
of the hook block to the boom head, in order to avoid possible property damage or injury to personnel.
The device is not, nor is it intended to be, a substitute for good operator judgment and/or experience,
nor does it remove the need for utilizing only recognized safe procedures during crane operations.
The crane operator continues to bear ultimate responsibility for safe operation of the crane.
He must ensure that he fully understands and follows the displayed notes and instructions
in their entirety.
Before beginning crane operations, the crane operator must carefully read and understand
the entire manual in order to ensure that he is aware of the operation and limitations of both
the LMI and the crane itself.
Proper functioning is dependent upon proper daily inspection and observation of the
operating instructions set forth in the manual.
The LMI is not able to provide aid to the crane operator unless it has been properly adjusted
and unless the correct load capacity chart and the correct operating code have been
entered for the respective rigging configuration. The correctness of the LMI settings must
be guaranteed before beginning crane work in order to avoid damage to property and
severe or even fatal injuries to personnel.
This system can be equipped with an external key-operated switch located in the crane
operator's cab. This key-operated switch overrides control lever function switch-off by the
LMI or by the hoist limit switch system. This switch may only be used during emergency
situations, and even then only by authorized personnel. Failure to observe these
instructions could result in damage to property and severe or even fatal injuries to
personnel.
The LMI cannot perform correctly unless it has been properly adjusted. The prerequisite for this is
making conscientious and correct entries during the set-up procedure, in accordance with the actual
configuration of the crane. The correctness of the LMI settings must be ensured before beginning
crane work in order to avoid damage to property and severe or even fatal injuries to personnel.

3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The iVISOR mentor QVGA load moment indicator system comprises a central microprocessor unit
with an integrated display and control console together with various sensors to record the measured
values.
Fig. 1: Components of the iVISOR mentor QVGA LMI system (without optional extras)
The system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The actual value is compared
with the calculated reference values and evaluated by the system. An overload warning signal is
triggered on the display and operating console once limit values are reached. All crane movements
that increase the load moment are switched off at the same time.
The crane-specific data specified by the manufacturer, such as load capacity charts, boom weights,
centers of gravity and dimensions, are stored in the central data memory. This data is the reference
information used to calculate the operating conditions.
The boom angle and length is measured by means of an length/angle sensor that is mounted on the
boom. The crane load is determined indirectly with the aid of pressure transducers.
The operating console is located in the operator's cab in plain view of the crane operator. All displays
and operating elements have background illumination for enhanced ease of recognition. The console
contains various operating elements as well as a multifunction LC display, all of which are described
in detail in chapter 3.2
The contrast of the LC display is adjustable manually in accordance with ambient light levels.

3.1 System start
Upon switching on, the system boots and starts with an automatic test of the LMI system,
lamps and audible alarm. During the test, the LC display shows the start screen.
If the system was turned off for more than two hours, the setup configuration has to be
entered after the system test. (⇒chapter 4)
First, the operating mode is determined by an interactive step-by-step interrogation of the
rigging states.
Next is the interactive input of the reeving.
Now the LC display shows all inputs and awaits acknowledgment or cancelling.
Upon acknowledgment of the inputs the system is ready for operation.
In the event of a malfunction, a corresponding error code "E##" will appear on the Data
display (1). (> refer to error code table)

(2) Utilisation display (bar graph)
The Utilisation display (bar graph) indicates how much of
the admissible load moment (rated moment) is used. As the
rated moment changes constantly during loader operation,
the load moment display also changes constantly.
The utilisation display is marked with differently coloured fields:
green: "Safe” operation (0...90% of rated moment)
yellow: “Prewarning range” (90...100% of rated moment)
red: “Overload range” (> 100% of rated moment)
(3) “Pre-warning” light
When this amber display light comes on, this indicates that
the utilisation of the crane has reached the specified pre-
warning range. An overload situation could therefore be
imminent!
At the same time, the acoustic alarm sounds an interrupted
signal.
For the crane operator, this means that the work can
only be continued with caution.
(4) “Overload” warning light
This red display light lights up to indicate that the maximum
capacity has been reached or exceeded.
At the same time, the acoustic alarm sounds an
uninterrupted signal and, depending on the system wiring,
load moment-increasing boom movements are stopped.
By actuating the key the acoustic alarm can be
suppressed after a minimum 5-second warning.

(5) "Hoist limit” warning light (A2B)
This red warning light lights up when the hoist limit switch
contacts open, i.e. when a hoist limit situation has occurred.
The acoustic alarm sounds and load-moment-increasing
crane movements are switched off at the same time.
A hoist limit situation occurs when the hook block
comes into contact with the boom head. The danger
exists in such situations that the hoist rope will
break, causing the load to fall. A hoist limit situation
could arise from the load being pulled against the
boom head or from the boom being extended or
lowered without the hoist rope being spooled off the
winch.
(6) “LMI bypass” warning light
This warning light flashes when the cut-out function of the
LMI system has been manually bypassed.
(7) “Hoist limit switch bypass” warning light
This red warning light lights up when the switch-off function
of the hoist limit switch has been manually bypassed.

(12) “Tare” key
The “TARE” key is used to display the net load on the actual
load display. The net load is the actual load less the lifting
gear and hook block. The “TARE” key must be pressed
before the lift process starts.
After actuation, the current load display is reset to zero (tared). After lifting
the load, the actual load display shows the net load (working load). Once
the working radius changes (due to a change of angle or radius), the
display changes back to the actual load and the tare function is ended.
NOTE: The actual load includes the load suspension device, the lifting
cable and all load limit stop equipment. The net load is the current load
without any load limit stop equipment. Display errors can be caused by
environmental factors, e.g. wind on the boom or load.
(13) “Alarm acknowledge” key
When this key is pressed, the acoustic alarm can be
suppressed after sounding for at least 5 secs.
After around 10 secs., the alarm sounds again if the reason
which triggered the alarm is still present.
The acoustic alarm sounds in the following cases:
System test, overload status, LMI system fault, and operating errors
detected by the system.

4. Configuration SETUP
The configuration setup procedure allows the operator to input the crane configuration using
interactive displays.
The LMI cannot perform correctly unless it has been properly adjusted. The prerequisite for
this is making conscientious and correct entries during the setup procedure, in accordance
with the actual configuration of the crane. The accuracy of the LMI settings must be
ensured before beginning crane work in order to avoid damage to property and severe or
even fatal injuries to personnel.
The correct setting is of utmost importance for the proper functioning of the system and the
crane.
Therefore, only operators who are thoroughly familiar with the crane and the operation of
the system should execute this configuration procedure.
4.1 Interactive operation mode setup
It is necessary to setup the mode of operation of the LMI system every time the crane structure has
been changed or if the system has been turned off for more than 2 hours.
If the system was switched off, for example during short breaks (less than 2 hours), all adjustments
remain stored. When switching on again the system these adjustments can be acknowledged by
merely pressing the "Enter" key (provided that the crane configuration has not been modified!).
During the programming procedure the Load Moment Pre-warning Light (3) and the Load Moment
Limit Light (4) will light up and the aggravating crane movements will be interrupted.
The LMI programming procedure consists of the following steps (interactive operation):
•setting the boom type configuration
•specify jib / selecting man basket /
•setting outrigger configuration
•specify working range
•setting option: stowed jib operation
•setting hoist
•setting reevings
•confirming of inputs
For easy operation, the computer guides the operator through the procedure step by step.
