 General Information 1

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

This Installation Handbook will show the approximate location of components and wiring diagrams
required for system operation. This handbook shows different wiring diagrams; therefore, use the
drawings that match your system.

Prior to starting the installation, it is advised to review the drawings and define the component
locations on the crane. The Length-Angle-Radius-Load Indicating System EI 65 must be calibrated
after completing installation.

Reference Information to Hirschmann Length-Angle-Radius-Load Indicator System:

Mentor EI 65 Operators Manual: 190231.
Mentor EI 65 Calibration Manual: 190232.

2. WARNINGS

x Always refer to operational instructions and load charts provided by the crane manufacturer for
specific crane operation and load limits.

x The Length-Angle-Radius-Load Indicating System Mentor EI 65 is not and shall not be a substitute
for good operator judgment, experience, or use of acceptable safe operating procedures.

x The operator is responsible for operating the crane within the manufacturer's specified parameters.

x The crane operator shall ensure that all warnings and instructions provided by the manufacturer
are fully understood, observed, and remain with the crane.

x Prior to operating the crane, the operator must carefully read and understand the information in the
Operator's Handbook so that he knows the operation and limitations of the Length-Angle-Radius-
Load Indicating System Mentor EI 65.

3. INSTALLATION

CONTACT CRANE MANUFACTURER FOR WELDING INSTRUCTION PRIOR TO WELDING ON

BOOM.

Use the drawings in Appendix A to install your system. The next sections give instructions for linerider,
length and angle sensors.

 Linerider Installation 3

4. LINERIDER INSTALLATION
The line tensiometer (linerider) installation will depend on the type of boom. Follow the applicable
instructions for a hydraulic (A) or lattice (B) boom.

LINERIDER GENERAL INFORMATION

The linerider is attached to the swing arm mounting bracket as shown in Figure 1. The swing arm
assembly has four joints:

1. Vertical movement at the attachment point to the linerider.

2. Horizontal movement of the swing arm.
3. Vertical movement of the swing arm.
4. Swivels horizontally around the mounting bolt.

The mounting bolt secures the swing arm to the machine.

CONTACT CRANE MANUFACTURER FOR WELDING INSTRUCTION PRIOR TO WELDING ON

BOOM.

A.1. Affix the bolt at the tip of the base section on the main boom similar to Figure 2. Select a location
that the swing arm angle with respect to the boom will not exceed 30(see Figure 3). The
linerider should be located as close to the boom tip as possible.

A.2 Attach the swing arm to the bolt.

A.3. Run the hoist line through the linerider.

A.4. Attach the swing arm to the linerider.

A.5. Ensure freedom of movement side to side

A.6. Connect linerider electrically with cable provided.

A.7. Connect the linerider extension to the console cable at boom base.

BOOM.

B.1. Select a location that the swing arm angle with respect to the boom will not exceed 30(see
Figure 3). The linerider should be located as close to the boom tip as possible.
B.2. Construct two base plates. Size of base plates will be specific to the lattice structure and your
selected location.
1. The first base plate will be attached to the boom with the swing arm bolt affixed to the center
of the base plate.
2. The second base plate will be attached to the boom so that it supports the linerider when not
in use.
B.3. Affix the swing arm bolt to the center of the first base plate.
B.4. Affix the first base plate to the selected location on the lattice boom.
B.5. Attach the swing arm to the bolt.
B.6. Run the hoist line through the linerider.
B.7. Attach the swing arm to the linerider.
B.8. Ensure freedom of movement side to side
B.9. Attach the second base plate to the boom so the linerider rubber supports will touch the plate
when there is no load.
B.10. Connect linerider electrically with cable provided.

 Lattice Crane Angle Sensor Adjustment 7

6. LATTICE CRANE ANGLE SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

The angle I shown in Figure 1 needs to be within +0, -0.4 of the actual angle of the boom. Check
boom angle at base/heel section only. After adjustment, compare the actual boom angle with the
displayed angle at about 0q, 30q and 60q. To comply with the SAE J375 standards the displayed angle
must be +0.0q to -2.0q of the actual angle.
