Geometry monitoring
Load-dependent geometry monitoring
The load-dependent geometry monitoring system provides a boom system control that takes the boom
angle and the lifted load into account.
Function - with fly-jib:
 Acoustic warning signal.
 Capacity indicator flashes.
 All movements that increase the outer boom
angle are blocked.
 'Extend extension booms' function (crane and
fly-jib) blocked.
 'Raise rope winch' function blocked.
 Display of status code Paltronic 30.08
All crane movements that reduce the outer boom system and retract the extension booms can be
operated.
Note:
Load-dependent geometry
monitoring
Crane overload
Various blocking functions between
load-dependent geometry
monitoring and normal crane
overload.
Soft stop
The automatic "soft stop function" stops certain crane movements before the mechanical end stop is
reached. The movement of the crane function is gently braked when this takes place.
Jerky crane movements and load impacts from the suspended load are prevented.
The following crane movements are prevented by "soft stop":
 Slewing
Both directions, no end position
 Main boom
Raise / lower
 Crane outer boom
Lift (hoist)
 Fly jib - outer boom
Lift (hoist)
If the electronic limit position is reached when a crane movement is made, the crane movement is first
slowed down and then blocked. The crane movements that are still possible are indicated on the
Paltronic 150 display unit.
