8.2.4 Machine Envelope Controller (MEC) - Max Radius
If any of the equipment enters the approach limit* an ‘Approaching max radius’
message will appear, the internal alarm will beep and the amber LED will be lit. If
any of the equipment reaches the max radius limit, the appropriate motions will
be controlled.
*The approach limit is configurable at point of calibration, check system operation before
commencing work.
See sections 4.1 and 7.6 for hydraulic override details.
MEC systems will cut mo-
tion to any section of
equipment that has
reached a limit but allow
other sections to operate
unhindered unless they too
reach the set limit.
Once a max radius limit set, the internal alarm will sound and the
RED LED will light if the equipment exceeds the current limit. Al-
ways check that the current limit activates at the set point. The restriction
cannot be deactivated if in the alarm state. Observe the operational limita-
tions given in section 4.
