4.4.5 Virtual wall monitoring

Programmable function to monitor the

working area by up to 5 "virtual" walls

Calling up the function

Overview menu with symbols appears, with any previously programmed

limits.

The working area definition system helps the operator to define the crane’s working area. This is done by creating vertical wall(s) that can

represent obstacles (i.e. buildings, towers, poles, etc.) in the crane’s working range. The wall(s) are set by defining points with the boom tip

along the outer limits of the operator’s work area, see setup procedure below. Because these walls are defined by the operator and are not

“actual real” walls, we refer to them as “virtual” walls. When setting the walls, always keep a safe working distance to any obstacles. Never

work outside a safe working area as outlined by common practice, standards, and manuals.

A virtual wall is set by defining two points. To prevent inaccuracies when defining the two points for the virtual wall, use the following to

rules:

• The two points should be the same distance form the obstacle

• Set the two points at the maximum distance apart, which can be safely reached by the boom tip

The operator can setup up to 5 virtual walls, the first wall is defined by a straight line between two set points. The second through fifth walls

are created by one new point and the previously selected point. After the walls have been set, the system alerts the operator and when the

boom approaches them. This is done both visual and audible. Similarly, the “virtual wall” symbol in the main screen blinks.
