Before you begin.
Read through and thoroughly understand the instructions before starting. The Microtec MkII Light
Control Module overview available on our website provides more detailed information that may
assist you when connecting and configuring your module. Specific instructions for connecting
your warning light to the module outputs are also available on the Microtec web site to make the
task quick and easy.
If your module is a latching (Thiess specification) unit it should be connected exactly the same as
a standard unit. Ensure easy access to the front panel during crane use and beware of the time
delays and latching function when performing final tests.
These Instructions.
The following instructions detail the input connections only to the Microtec MkII light control
module for a specific crane / computer type. For details of input connections for a different crane /
computer see the specific instructions for that machine or use the “overview” for customised
installations.
Reasonable care is exercised in the preparation of these instructions, but variations in machine
build may impact the accuracy from time to time and are beyond our control. These instructions
should be used by suitably competent personnel for guidance only.
