FCC Compliance: Please note - Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cranesmart
Systems for FCC compliance could void the user‟s authority to operate the equipment.
Cranesmart™ Systems warrants to the purchaser of each new Cranesmart™ System that any part thereof which proves
to be defective in material or workmanship within two (2) years from date of delivery will be repaired or replaced at no
charge if the system is returned to us in Edmonton, Alberta with all freight charges prepaid. If a performance problem
should occur, contact our offices in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at (888) 562-3222 or (780) 437-2986.
This warranty does not cover defects resulting from accident, alteration, improper use, or failure of the purchaser to
follow normal operating procedures as outlined in this instruction manual and/or industry best practices.
PLEASE NOTE:
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
NO COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM ARE TO BE SUBMERGED IN WATER.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY AND OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED.
Cranesmart™ Systems shall in no event be liable for any special, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever and
neither assumes nor authorises any person to assume for it any other obligation or liability.
All of Cranesmart™ Systems‟ load cells and support hardware have been designed and tested to have a minimum 5 to 1
safety factor and to meet or exceed the guidelines, standards and certification requirements set forth by more than 30
legislative bodies world-wide including API, ABS, DNV, ASME and OSHA.
All Cranesmart™ load cells and support hardware are to be considered “Critical Path“components. Loads imposed on
these components should never exceed the maximum rated capacity shown on the load cell(s)/components. The rated
capacity applies only to uniform direct tension loading (straight-line pull). Off-axis loading, bending, side loading, two-
blocking and shock loads should be avoided. Damages caused by such situations are not covered by our warranty.
Inspection for damage, deterioration, cracks and corrosion on all load-bearing components should be conducted pre-
use, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually, depending upon crane usage. Load bearing components showing damage,
deterioration, cracks or corrosion should be removed from service. If the crane is two-blocked or side loaded the load
cell and links should be visually inspected immediately. Continued use of damaged components may result in
catastrophic failure and personal injury.
Unless authorized by the factory in writing, modifications such as cutting, welding or permanently attaching other
material to any load cell, pin, link or part-thereof will void the warranty. Do not repair, alter, rework, or reshape any load
bearing component by welding, heating, grinding or bending. Do not engrave or stamp markings into the steel body of
the load cell as this may affect the integrity of the load cell, will void the warranty, and may result in a costly replacement
of the steel body.
Regular Inspections
We recommend that all load components regularly undergo routine visual inspection as noted above. We also
recommend that a qualified inspector, using industry standard techniques such as Ultrasonic Testing and/or Dye
Penetrate Testing, annually inspect the load components. These tests are to be performed in conjunction with the
inspection frequencies and guidelines as mandated by your applicable regulatory bodies.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not disassemble the load cell by removing the plastic covers during testing. Disassembly will
require the cell to be returned to the factory for re-calibration and testing.
If ANY issues are found please note the Cranesmart™ System serial number, contact our staff at 888-562-3222 or 780-
437-2986 and ask for the service department.

Starting for systems sold during and after February 2008, Cranesmart™ Systems will supply replacement power cells for
our transmitters for the cost of freight shipping (customers are responsible for any incurred taxes/duties).
Before replacing the batteries call the service department at (888) 562-3222 or (780) 437-2986. Once you have verified
that it is a dead battery follow the steps below.
Please have the serial number of your system handy before calling for replacement batteries or to ask for
technical assistance. You can find the serial number on either the display panel or the load cell itself.
NOTE:
SAFT 33600 3.6V Lithium power cells may also be available from local sources. Ensure that you take the existing battery with you if possible for
correct size matching. Other manufacturer‟s may not follow the SAFT sizing conventions.
If you purchase your own battery you will also need to reuse the o-ring. Please ensure that you use grease, as per the instructions below, when
installing the o-ring.
Do not use a power drill or power screwdriver to remove or tighten the bolts, you may damage the threads on
the aluminum plate.
The linerider is attached to a swing arm mounting bracket (included with kit) as shown in the illustration below.
The swing arm assembly has four joints:
Installation steps
1. Affix the bolt at the tip of the base section (dead
section) of the hydraulic boom as illustrated to the
right. Select a location so that the swing arm angle
with respect to the boom will not exceed 30° during
normal operation of the crane. The linerider should be
located on the top of the boom and as close to the
dead end section boom tip as possible.
Installation steps
1. Select a location that the swing arm angle with respect to the boom will not exceed 30° (see figure below). The
linerider should be mounted as close to the lattice boom tip as possible.
2. Construct two base plates. Size of the base plates will be specific to the lattice structure and your selected location.
10. Attach the second base plate to the boom so the linerider‟s rubber feet will touch the plate when there is no load
(wire rope is slack).
Important note: The linerider component should be located on the top of the boom and as close to the
boom tip as possible. The wire rope should be maintained according to standard practices (in good condition,
properly lubricated) to ensure correct calibration.
Installation steps
Counterweight
1. Attach counterweight chain to the bottom of the A-2-B transmitter using the C-Shackle supplied.
2. Put the counterweight together around the cable as shown in the diagram.
3. Bolt the two counterweight halves together using the cap screws. The cap screws are coated with oil but it is suggested that anti-seize
compound be used on the bolts to allow for easy removal.
Tools required
5/16” hex key (included)
3/16” hex key (included)
Welder
1. Remove the shoulder bolt from the weld bar and swivel mount plate.
2. Tack weld the weld bar to the crane. The weld bar can be welded directly to the crane or to an existing Cranesmart™ weld plate. (Both sides of the
weld bar are identical).
3. Attach the wind speed swivel mount plate to the weld bar using the shoulder bolt and washer. Use a 5/16” hex key to tighten the bolt.
4. Attach the wind speed transducer to the swivel mount plate using the provided hex key bolts and lock washers. Use a 3/16” hex key to tighten all
bolts.
5. Ensure that there is enough clearance for the wind speed transducer to swing freely. Finish welding the weld bar to the crane.
NOTE:
The cable reel assembly should not come in contact with the cradle rest or other obstructions while the crane is in use or being put away.
The cable reel transducer must have an unobstructed line of sight back to the display panel‟s antenna.
Orient the mounting bracket so that the transducer is closer to the receiver‟s antenna.
1. With the label facing outwards lift the drum and place on the shaft.
The top of the shaft and the hole in the drum are D-shaped so they
can only be installed one way.
2. Install the drum-retaining washer and secure with bolt.
3. Apply a small amount of thread lock to the threads before tightening
the retaining bolt. This will prevent the bolt from backing off.
The anchor and guide arms may need to be modified (shortened) to accommodate your installation of the cable reel.
1. The first guide is to be mounted up the boom, 2-4 feet away from the drum. Position it vertically to allow the cable to pass through the guide.
It should be horizontally aligned with the middle of the drum in order to allow for proper water run-off. The cable should move back and forth
in the guide. The cable should not be forced to one side.
2. The next guide should be welded at the end of the main boom section in the same alignment as the first.
3. Weld a guide at the end of each moving section of the crane.
4. Weld the anchor to the tip of the boom. Allow for 6-12 inches of space between the last guide and anchor.
5. Spin the cable drum in the direction of the payout this is indicated by the arrows on the drum. Spin 2 revolutions for the small 19” drum and
5 revolutions for the large 32” drum. This pre-loads the spring allowing for proper tension during extension and retraction of the cable reel
drum.
6. Run the cable through the roller guides. Be careful not to let go the cable under tension as it may cause internal damage to the system.
NOTE:
Installation for Non-Proportional Boom cranes must have the anchor at the tip of the boom
For a Proportional Boom crane, you can secure the cable to the tip of the first moving section but this will affect the resolution of the cable reel. Please
contact our service department for more information
1. Slide crimped cable end through the keyhole opening in the anchor.
2. Install the retaining bolt, lock washer and nut to secure the cable in the keyhole opening.
NOTE:
When removing the cable from the anchor do not allow the cable to spin back freely as this may damage the internal workings of the cable reel.
PITCH ROLL
ABOVE PRESET MAXIMUM ABOVE PRESET MAXIMUM
72 71
If a ROLL ABOVE PRESET MAXIMUM message is displayed it means that the Transducer is tilted sideways from its
calibrated zero past the number of degrees set in the LIMITS screen. Press SELECT from the main operating screen to
view the current list value. If the value is positive then the Transducer is tilted too far to the right. If the value is negative
then the Transducer is tilted too far to the left.
If a PITCH ABOVE PRESET MAXIMUM message is displayed it means that the Transducer is tilted frontward or
backwards from its calibrated zero past the number of degrees set in the LIMITS screen. Press SELECT from the main
operating screen to view the current list value. If the value is positive then the Transducer is tilted too far backward. If
the value is negative then the Transducer is tilted too far forward.
If a PITCH & ROLL ABOVE PRESET MAXIMUM message is displayed it means that the Transducer is tilted both too far
sideways and too far forward or backward. Follow the instructions above to fix this problem.
If these messages are displayed while the Transducer is level you may need to re-calibrate your transducer via the
CALIBRATE screen (see page 71). If the error messages are displayed during normal operation while the crane is
operating in a safe configuration in the allowable range it may need to be changed in the LIMITS screen (see page 63).
Before replacing the batteries call the service department at (888) 562-3222 or (780) 437-2986. Once you have verified
that it is a dead battery follow the steps below.
Please have the serial number of your system handy before calling for replacement batteries or to ask for
technical assistance. You can find the serial number on either the display panel or the load cell itself.
Tank Tags
The Tank Tags are the numbered small round disks that are used to mark the lift areas on the turret. Please refer to
your custom manual section for exact placement of the tank tags.
1. Using the centre of the BDT bracket as a guide, swing the turret around to mark the points of transition on the fixed turret.
2. For each “point of transition” mark on the turret, add two more marks one 3” to the left and one 3” to the right. These will be the final tank tag
position marks and they will be 6” apart.
NOTE:
The Display Panel can pivot horizontally or vertically by changing the position of the mounting bracket.
The Display Panel should be mounted in the operator‟s field of view but not obstruct sight during a lift.
The length of cable may limit where you can mount the Display Panel.
The power connector is keyed to ensuring a proper connection.
DO NOT PRESSURE WASH THE DISPLAY PANEL OR SUBMURGE THE DISPLAY PANEL IN WATER
Power to the Display Panel is supplied through the three-conductor cable labelled Power, included in the kit, which plugs
into the back of the panel. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
1. Connect the Red wire to a positive 12 or 24 VDC (28VDC Max) terminal.
2. Connect the Black wire to a solid ground on the crane.
3. OPTIONAL: Connect the White wire to an optional „Shut off‟ or to sound external horns. (Maximum output is 7.5 amps).
NOTE:
For the system to work properly ensure that a continuous 12 to 24 (28VDC Max) is available to the panel at all times while the crane is in operation. If
the voltage drops below 10.5 VDC the panel will shut down and not function.
When attaching the power cable to the panel, align and gently push the plug into the receptacle, then slide the plug neck back towards the panel and
turn clockwise ½ turn to tighten.
If you cut the power cable to shorten it for installation you will notice that it contains two extra wires. The purple and blue wires are used in other
applications for RS485 communication and should not be used.
When you are powering (supply power to) the Cranesmart™ System with +12 VDC the white wire is normally hot
(energized) with a +12 VDC in a non-alarm condition. If you do not wish to use the white wire for any of the above,
please ensure that the exposed end of the white wire remains sealed to prevent grounding and damage to the
display panel.
When you are powering (supply power to) the Cranesmart™ System with +24 VDC the white wire is normally hot
(energized) with a +24 VDC in a non-alarm condition. If you do not wish to use the white wire for any of the above,
please ensure that the exposed end of the white wire remains sealed to prevent grounding and damage to the
display panel.
Junction Box
The Junction Box is used to connect Power and ground to the panel and BDT - Boom Direction Transducer (see page
38). It also is a pathway of communication between both components. The Junction box comes with the following
cables
5-pin Standard power cable
5-pin Serial cable, to connect the junction box to the panel.
Installation the Junction box
1. Locate a position to mount the Junction Box where the operator can reach the wiring if necessary
2. Align Mark and drill holes using the mounting holes on the box as a guide.
3. Bolt Junction box in place.
4. Wiring in power cord. See section on Electrical Wiring of a Cranesmart™ Panel
5. Connect Serial cable form Junction box to Panel.
NOTE:
The limiting factor on where you can mount the junction box is based on the lengths of cable you have and were the panel is mounted.
Each Plug is keyed to ensure proper connection.
Antenna types
1. Panel Mount – For all cranes without a cab
2. External Mount – For cranes with cabs
3. Marine – For marine cranes with cabs
NOTE:
Ensure that the lines of sight between the Load cells, Anti-2-block switches, Angle transducers and the antenna are not obstructed.
Do not let the antenna touch glass or metal.
1. Clean the top of the panel with the alcohol pad included in the installation kit.
2. Peel off the paper from the adhesive strip on the underside of the antenna.
3. Place the antenna on the top of the panel.
4. Using the P-clamp and machine screw included in the installation kit, strain relief the cable as shown below.
5. Attach the antenna connector to the panel and secure.
6. Determine the best position for the antenna; check the signal quality while moving it around.
7. Check the quality of the signal using the “SIG” option in the Secondary Operating screen (see page 83). (This menu displays for eight
seconds). For a permanent display use the signal viewer in the Diagnostics menu.
For optimum performance, the antenna should be installed horizontally as shown below but it will work in a vertical
orientation also. To confirm the best position for the antenna; check the signal quality while moving it around (see page
83 of this manual)
If you have installed the system using the white output wire to control your crane shut-offs/kick outs and the
Cranesmart™ system is overcome by user damage or system malfunction this wire can be by-passed using a bypass
plug included with the kit. When this plug is installed as follows, it will allow your function kick outs to be re-energised.
1. Remove the power cable from the back of the display panel by twisting the coupling ½ turn clockwise and pull away from the panel.
2. Insert the plug (Bypass plug) into the end of the power cable (lower illustration) – not the panel – and turn the plug ½ turn clockwise.

accompanied by an audible alarm provided within the panel. The example below is a Main A2B two-block alarm. To
further help in troubleshooting there is an alarm number in the lower right hand corner of the screen. This number
coincides with the alarm that is appearing on the screen. If the alarm is too fast to read the number can be used to
identify the alarm.
When the display panel is installed and powered you may see system error screens and hear alarms. The alarms may
indicate which component (load cell, anti-2-block, angle transducer, etc) signal is not being received.
The alarms are normal until all parts of the system are installed and there is a clear line of sight to the antenna. If all the
parts of the system are correctly installed and the alarms are still sounding, check your signal strength screen (see page
83) to see if your boom mounted transmitters are sending a clear signal. You may also try moving your cab mounted
antenna for better reception.
If neither of these solutions solves the problem call our service department at (888) 562-3222 or (780) 437-2986.
NOTE:
The audible alarm is intended for the operator to hear. If you require a louder horn that can be heard across a platform or jobsite, Cranesmart™
Systems can provide a louder horn, which automatically increases in loudness depending on the ambient noise.
