1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual describes the procedure for installation of the HIRSCHMANN maestro system as a
replacement for older PAT systems.
Well-grounded knowledge regarding the method of functioning of load moment indicators as well
as knowledge of the start-up procedure and adjustment of such systems are required. In some
cases knowledge of the operation and use of burning devices for EPROM’s is also required.
Please always comply with the safety instructions!
If you have any questions, please contact your authorized regional dealer.
2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following safety instructions must always be observed and complied with.
CAUTION
To prevent material damage and serious or even fatal injuries to staff, the correct ad-
justment of the LMI has to be ensured before starting operation of the equipment.
The LMI can only function correctly after the conversion, if the following points have
been complied with:
It is imperative that the operational and safety instructions as well as the load charts
provided by the crane manufacturer, particularly for specific operating conditions and
load limits, are always referred to.
CAUTION
This system can be equipped with a bypass function, which bypasses the switching-off
of the control lever function by the LMI or the A2B switch (-es) system. The bypass
control switches must only be activated in emergencies and by authorised staff. Fail-
ure to comply with this instruction can result in material damage and serious or even
fatal injuries to staff.

3 Installation Instructions
The following instructions are to simplify the conversion of the old LMI system to the HIRSCH-
MANN maestro LMI.
Before uninstalling the current central unit, be sure to note the locations of each wire be-
fore disconnecting them from the terminal strips. (A wiring diagram of the previously in-
stalled system will be useful.) It is necessary to note all Digital Inputs and their respective loca-
tions before disconnecting them from the original central unit to ensure proper reinstallation.
Ex. DI 1: Outriggers, area definition DI 2: Rubber, area definition DI 3: No load/ Power pin fly
Carefully remove the Data EPROM from the original central unit. This EPROM will be reinstalled
into the new data EPROM module at a later point. Please contact your authorized regional
dealer with any installation questions.
Install the maestro central processing unit in such a way that the old electrical wiring can be
retained as far as possible. This can be done to install the Maestro C/U at same place as of Old
C/U. However, since, Maestro C/U is smaller in Size than most of the previous PAT C/U’s, it
would be advisable to install it inside the crane cabin behind the operator’s seat. If installing the
C/U inside the Crane Cabin, ensure that the existing cables are long enough to reach inside the
Cabin after re-routing. Instead of welding the mounting squares of the C/U, you may also use
Flat Bars with holes at each end, enabling the use of the existing holes.
Note that you may be required to modify the Strain reliefs in the C/U depending on the amount
and size of wires being used. If an extra hole is needed you can remove the breather from the
side of the C/U and utilize this hole, always leave a drip loop in the cables for external mounted
C/U’s.
3.2 Console
Install the maestro console with proper positioning within the field of vision and operating area
of the crane operator.
There is a standard length of cable (with multi-pin connector) supplied with the Maestro console.
Ensure there is an adequate length of cable between the console and the central unit.
CAUTION
The pressure transducers of the old system can only continue to be used (in case of GC sys-
tems), if these have a signal output of 4…20 mA. A three-pole cable matcher from three-pole
Canon to M12x1 is available for the electrical connection.
In the case of the older systems pressure transducers with voltage output are, however, nor-
mally in use, which should be replaced with the new pressure transducers of the DAVS
300/3401 SA type with the same pressure range. In this case it is advisable to also replace the
feeder cables at the same time with new cables with pre-assembled connection plugs, which are
included in the scope of supplies of the maestro conversion kit.
There are no spare parts associated with the pressure transducer; the following parts are use to
make a hydraulic connection to a 9/16-18 JIC fitting.

3. The load/A2B lock wire (wire #3 in power cable) will be crimped into the empty ¼” female
crimp terminal that is in terminal 1.
A distinctive feature of the Hirschmann maestro system is the possibility of data acceptance
from a multitude of older PAT systems (see list in chapter 2.1) to convert the data, instructions
are provided below for the acceptance with various PAT systems. This means, you can insert
Old Data Eprom from Old System without any changes in the software. However, the accep-
tance of these Data Eproms is limited to the Types / System Codes given in Chapter 2.1.
If any uncertainty or doubt exists as to whether the data can be accepted in your particular case,
please contact Hirschmann or an authorised and trained regional dealer to have the conversion
capability checked.

4 Start-up procedure
The start-up procedure of the new system is normally shortened a great deal in terms of time
due to the transfer of the contents from the central processor memory and the automatic sensor
adjustment. It is nevertheless necessary to check the contents of the data displays.
Check the geometric data, which are shown on the display, by measuring for accuracy. If devia-
tions arise, these can only be taken in hand by the inputting of correction values in the
EEPROM. (Ref. 5.5 LMI test procedure)
If necessary, you can use Hand Terminal to correct any data as usual for old PAT systems.
When all of the settings have been made, it is still necessary for the system to be checked and
load testing completed in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
(Ref. 4.2.1 LMI Test Procedure)
WARNING
Do not operate the crane out side the permissible operating range for the
type of crane / capacity chart being tested.
1) Most crane manufacturer calibrate the cranes with the jib removed it is recommended that this is done to
carry out the following test. How ever on some cranes this might not be the case, if in doubt contact the
manufacturer.
2) For calibration verification a test load is to be employed for each of the following configuration;
NOTE: For safety reasons first measure the allowable radius for the load being used have a spotter to
ensure the system stops the functions at or before this point.
3) Maximum Boom Length and Middle Radius (select a load that will lock out the functions about the middle of
the load chart in the long boom length step)
4) The following test should be recorded signed and dated. A copy of this test sheet should be available at all
times.
5) Test load to be applied by suspending known weights accurate to +/-1%. Weights of all additional equipment
such as blocks, slings, sensors, etc., are included in the test load. The total load is to be known to an accu-
racy of +/-1%.
With extended boom and the load suspended, move the load smoothly from the short radius to overload lock out,
measure and record radius, calculate cut off % see section 6. Ensure the appropriate functions are disabled.
6) Computations:
For each radius measured in the above tests refer to the applicable load rating chart and determine the rated
load. At radii intermediate to those on the load chart, rated load shall be determined by linear interpolation
unless otherwise specified by the crane manufacturer.
7) The actual load which activates the overload lock out is not less than 90% of the rated load nor more than
100% of the rated load for the corresponding actual load radius or boom angle.
Note: This is a general standard and variations may exist, if in doubt contact the crane manufacturer.

13. Connect the X1 terminal blocks/wires to the main board. Refer to the system wiring diagram
in this manual or in the central unit lid for wiring connections.
14. Turn power on and test system.
15. Inspect the gasket for nicks, cuts, or damages before installing and tightening the cover.
6 Troubleshooting moisture
The maestro contains electronic components in various locations, such as central unit, sensors,
junction boxes etc. These internal components cannot be designed to withstand exposure to
moisture over a longer period of time. For this reason, the housings of the components are water
protected according to IP 65. If you find water or moisture inside any of the housings, the source
for the water ingress has to be detected and corrected to ensure proper operation.
There are two major possibilities for the occurrence of excessive moisture inside an enclosure:
1) Water ingress
2) Condensation
This outline gives instructions for detecting the cause for excessive moisture by using simple
troubleshooting methods and how to prevent the moisture ingress from happening again.
1) Spray Cleaning
2) Missing / Loose Screws
3) Bent Lid
4) Defective Gasket
5) Loose Strain Relieves
6) Water Entry Through External Cabling
It is possible to find out the source of water ingress by going through the following steps and
ruling out one possibility after the other until the cause is identified:
1) Spray Cleaning
The enclosures used for the maestro system are water protected to IP 65. This means pro-
tection against the environment, such as rain. However, through the use of spray cleaner at
short distances, it is possible to force water through the gasket or strain relieves. For this rea-
son, avoid spraying any components from short distances with spray cleaners. Convey this
fact to any member of a maintenance crew.
3) Bent Lid
An enclosure will only seal correctly if the lid is not bent. To check this, loosen all screws of
the lid, take the lid off the box and visually inspect it for deflection. If the lid is bent or dam-
aged, it needs to be replaced. Try to determine what has caused the lid to be bent and elimi-
nate the reason for that. Order a new lid through your Hirschmann representative.
4) Defective Gasket
The gasket underneath the lid seals the unit. The gasket needs to be in good condition in or-
der to seal correctly. If the gasket is torn, brittle or severely bent, it needs to be replaced. Or-
der a new gasket through your Hirschmann representative.
6.2 Condensation
In a climate with high humidity and rapidly changing temperatures, condensation can happen
inside any enclosure, usually the larger the volume of the box, the more likely. In this case, water
drops build up on the inner components when humid air is trapped inside the box. With conden-
sation, water tightness is not a problem – the box is sealed just fine, which is what prevents the
trapped air from exiting the box. There are two ways to deal with condensation:
1. If the volume is very small, a desiccant bag might be able to soak up the air’s humidity.
2. If the effect is more severe, the only way to get rid of this effect is then to give the box the
ability to breath without sacrificing its water tightness. Contact your Hirschmann repre-
sentative for breathing elements to than can be added to the box and will help to reduce
the effects of humid climates.
