GENERAL INFORMATION
This troubleshooting manual is designed to assist a service of maintenance person in
identifying LMI (Load Moment Indicator) problem areas or malfunctions. A digital
voltmeter with the capability to also measure current will be required. Regular
maintenance and service tools will also be required.
NOTE: Knowledge of how to use a voltmeter to measure both voltage and current is
assumed.
For system operation refer to the operator’s handbook for the console. This may differ
from crane manufacturer and model.
Section 2 provides the drawings and reference material that will used in the
troubleshooting flowcharts of this manual. Use the reference drawings in conjunction
with the flowcharts to help understand the operation of the system.
The PAT LMI DS 350 Modular with Boom Control Extension has been designed to
provide the crane with the essential information required to operate the machine within
the designed parameters.
Using different sensing devices, the DS 350 LMI monitors various crane functions and
provides the operator with a continuous display of the crane’s capacity. The display
continually changes as the crane moves through the motions needed to make a lift.
The DS 350 Modular LMI provides the operator with information regarding the boom
length and boom angle of the main boom, working radius rated load and the total
calculated weight being lifted by the crane.
If non-permitted conditions are approached, the DS 350 LMI will warn the operator by
sounding an audible alarm and lighting a warning light. In addition the LMI system has
the capability to provide a signal to the solenoids and thereby locking out those
functions that may aggravate the crane’s condition.

WARNING
The DS 350 load moment indicator (LMI) with boom control extension is an operational
aid that warns the crane operator when approaching an overload condition, a two block
condition and an out of boom sequence condition.
Prior to operating the crane, the operator must carefully and thoroughly read and
understand the information provided by the crane and load moment indicator
manufacturer.
The responsibility for safe crane operation shall remain with the crane operator who
shall ensure that all warnings and instructions supplied are fully understood and
observed.
It still remains the operator’s responsibility to verify the operation and to select the
correct mode during crane operations.
The DS 350 Modular with boom control extension is not, and shall not, be a substitute
for good operator judgment, experience and use of accepted safe crane operating
procedure
Proper functioning depends upon proper daily inspection and observance of the
operating instructions provided with the crane and load moment indicator.
The manual mode is a rigging mode. Lifting loads in manual mode is prohibited.
Should an out of sequence condition occur, the crane operator is responsible to select
manual mode to return the sections into sequence before continuing the lift.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Daily maintenance of the load moment indicator consists of inspecting:
1. The electrical wiring connecting the various parts of the system.
If electrical wiring is damaged, it shall be replaced immediately.
2. If the insulation is worn on the length sensor cable or cable guides are damaged,
these parts shall be replaced.
3. Check the anti two-block limit switches for freedom of movement.
4. The cable reel shall be under tension to operate properly.
5. Check the pressure transducers at the hoist cylinder(s) and the connecting hoses for
oil leakage.
Other than correcting the problems identified in the Malfunctions Table and replacing
faulty mechanical parts and cables, non-expert personnel shall perform no other
repairs.
