External RCL Light Tower (Optional)
The optional External Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL) Light
Tower (1, Figure 3-23) is located on the outside upper right
corner of the crane cab.
The External RCL Light Tower is an operational aid.
The external light tower works with the RCL system to warn
the operator and external personnel of an approaching
overload condition that could cause equipment damage,
personal injury, or death.
The lights in the light tower come on in the following manner:
• Green LED – when the green LED is on, the load being
lifted is less than 90% of crane RCL programmed
capacity.
• Yellow LED – when the yellow LED is on, the load being
lifted is between 90% to 100% of crane RCL
programmed capacity.
• Red LED – when the red LED is on, the load being lifted
is greater than 100% of crane RCL programed capacity.
