 What should be known before starting the machine? 30

All the recommendations and rules from the Manufacturer

to work wisely and consciously in any time and situation.

• The LMI is supplied with a key for shut-down function by-passing.

• In normal working operations, this key must be positioned not to by-pass shut-down..
• It’s forbidden to use the key to lift loads exceeding the loads values allowed by the
Manufacturer.

• The key can be used only when an emergency/malfunctioning occurs or a situation

justifying its use.

• Only Authorised Personnel is allowed to the use of the key; they are also responsible for it.

• The LMI has a powerful FAIL-SAFE auto diagnosis program suitable to verify its good
operations and the one of its transducers.
In case a trouble has been detected, the LMI puts itself in a safe state by stopping the
manoeuvres (please see the AUTODIAGNOSTIC chapter).

• In spite of this, the Operator, before starting the operation with the machine, must take
care that the LMI is working correctly.
To do this, he must verify the validity of the displayed values by doing some tests.
He must verify that there are not messages or alarm indications; he must verify the correct
operation of the manoeuvre stopping functions.

• The operator is responsible for the correct setting of the machine load table and therefore
for the right LMI set.
When switching-on the machine the last selected Table is kept valid, to allow Operator
check.

• About this, please follow the instructions given in the OPERATING MODE SELECTION
chapter. An incorrect setting of the tables, can cause an incorrect LMI operation and
therefore can provoke a dangerous situation for the machine.

• Operating conditions usually change when:

Further attachment are fitted or removed ( jib counterweight) and relevant Table
selecting mode is set on the control panel.
Outriggers Extension / Withdrawn, Turret Front/360° rotation , On Wheels/Outriggers,
operating Modes are set in automatic way by micro-switches.

Generally, it’s compulsory to follow the Manufacturer instructions and

procedures at any time.
 What should be known before starting the machine? 29

All the recommendations and rules from the Manufacturer to

work wisely and consciously in any time and situation

WARNINGS

• The LMI is an electronic device with the aim to help the operator in the
current use of the machine, warning him by means of visual and acoustic
signals while approaching dangerous conditions.
• However this device can’t replace the operator good experience in the
safe use of the machine.
• The responsibility of the operations in safe conditions of the machine is
the operator concern as well as the accomplishment of all prescribed
safety rules
• The Operator must be able to detect if the data given by the LMI are
correct and correspond to actual working conditions.
• He must be able to utilise the data given by the LMI in order to operate in
safe conditions in any time.
• The LMI is an electronic device including several sensing components,
therefore it can be subject to failures or defects.
• The operator must recognise these events and he must take action ( to
proceed to repair if possible or to call Assistance).
• Before starting the operations with the machine, the user must fully read
this manual and follow the instructions at any time.

WALL limit setting.

MEGAMAC HC calculates working area limitation using “virtual wall” concept. It stops the
movement according to a “virtual wall” delimited by 2 preset points
In order to enable “virtual wall” limitation, 2 input points are required by the self learning
procedure: MEGAMAC will automatically limit lowering, lifting telescoping and rotating
movements according to “virtual wall” operation.

 Can the LMI detect faults? 18

Of course. To be considered a reliable system, it must be

able to perform self-check in order to detect internal or
components faults.

AUTO-DIAGNOSTIC

The LMI is equipped of an auto diagnostic system which is able to detect faulty pressure
transducers, or boom angle/length sensors, broken cables or internal electronic faults.
When an alarm occurs, the LMI puts itself in a safe condition stopping the dangerous
movements and at the same time the display shows an alarm message ( zone 1-8).
According to alarm code and message, it will be possible to identify the fault.
