3.2.8 Load Sensing
Please note that when using pressure transducers the load displayed by the RCL is not a direct meas-
urement, but a calculated value that is based on many factors. Factors included that are outside of the
measured values include:
Operator settings such as:
Operating mode/configuration
Parts of Line/Reeving
Outrigger position
Rigging parts such as:
Hook block weight
Sling weights, etc.
Tip height (length of load line used)
Boom weights
Boom attachments such as:
Stowed jibs
Telescopic jib, etc.
Before checking the system for a load-reading problem, make sure all of the above has been ruled out.
When you still feel the system is reading a sensor wrong and thus displaying an incorrect load, use the
following:
Use the previous sections and the individual sensor signal displayed on the screen to double-check the
following:
boom length reading
angle transducer reading
pressure transducer readings
If all are correct, use the zero setting and calibration screens to calibrate angle, length, slew, and tilt. If
you still have a problem, replace pressure transducer(s).
