1300A OUTRIGGERS
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 sensors, one sensor 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.
