11.7 Working range limiter
You can set and monitor four different limits in the working range limiter
menus:
– A maximum overall height
– A maximum working radius
– A maximum slewing angle
– A limited hoist rope travel
The monitoring of the programmed limits can be switched on and off sepa-
rately. After turning on the ignition, all monitoring functions are switched
on that were on before the ignition was turned off.
G
Risk of accidents due to situations which cannot be monitored
The working range limiter only serves as an additional safety device. Brake
the crane movement before contact with the obstacle becomes imminent.
Do not deliberately move into the shutdown range. You, the crane opera-
tor, are still responsible for monitoring the working range, so that you can
react appropriately if situations arise which cannot be monitored electron-
ically.
G
Risk of accidents due to limits set too low
When entering the limits, bear in mind that, even after switching off the
engine, movements can still occur that would bring the load into the shut-
down range, for example, due to the load swinging or the boom bending.
For this reason, always enter the limit values with sufficient safety margin
from the object.
G
Risk of accidents due to insufficient safe distances!
Always observe all safety distances in accordance with the national legal
regulations (for example, concerning overhead power lines) even if the
working range limiter is switched on.
