5.2.11 Load Float
When Load Float (C08-10) is enabled, it maintains the motor shaft at a stationary position with brake open. The Load
Float 2 (MFDI=35) function triggers the VFD to go into Load Float for the time set in C04-01. During Load Float, the
VFD will open the brake and hold the motor at a zero position. A FWD or REV run command will take priority over this
function. In NLB applications, the standard brake checks will be performed if starting from Base Block.

5.2.12 Load Check II™
The Load Check II function is a load-limiting feature which ensures the programmed load limit of the hoist is not
exceeded. It prevents the lifting (and potential stall) of a load that is overweight. When IMPULSE
®
•G+ & VG+
Series 4 detects an overload condition it prevents any further lifting. The load may then be lowered at the speed
that is specified by the Load Check Alarm Speed (C05-08).
5.2.12.1 V/f Operation (A01-02 = 00)
When using Load Check II in V/f control method (during lifting) the IMPULSE
®
•G+ Series 4 will compare the motor
current readings (U01-03) to values stored during the Load Check set up process. If they exceed the values for the
active Load Check Zone, the IMPULSE
®
•G+ Series 4 will stop the motor based on the LC Alarm Action (C05-02)
and display a Load Check alarm (LC).
NOTE: If an application requires Load Check to be bypassed, an MFDI may be programmed to 69 (N.O.) or 6A
(N.C.)
NOTE: It is highly recommended to use OLV or FLV control methods for Load Check II.
5.2.12.2 OLV and FLV Operation (A01-02 = 02 and 03)
When using Load Check II in Open Loop Vector or Flux Vector control method, the IMPULSE
®
•G+ and VG+ Series
4 will compare the motor torque readings (U01-09) to values stored during the Load Check set up process. If they
exceed the values for the active Load Check Zone, the IMPULSE
®
•G+ and VG+ Series 4 will stop the motor based
on the LC Alarm Action (C05-02) and displays a Load Check alarm (LC).
NOTE: If an application requires Load Check to be bypassed, an MFDI may be programmed to 69 (N.O.) or 6A
(N.C.).
NOTE: The Load Check II function will alter the acceleration time, depending on loading. Therefore, it must be
disabled when using two or more hoists to lift a single load. Use MFDO H01-0x = 69 or MFDO H01-0x = 6A
to bypass Load Check.

DANGER
Load Check II is designed to limit loads less than or equal to the crane’s rated capacity. Consult the factory and
crane manufacturer before calibrating Load Check II with a load heavier than the crane capacity.
