OUTRIGGER MONITORING SYSTEM (OMS)
(OPTIONAL—STANDARD IN NORTH
AMERICA)
The Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS) aids the operator in
accurately programming the Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL)
by automatically identifying the position of each outrigger
beam. The OMS uses four string potentiometers, one
potentiometer in each outrigger beam, to identify if an
outrigger beam is positioned to one of three predefined
locations, including fully retracted, mid-extend, and fully
extended.
