1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The load moment indicator HC3901 (hereinafter referred to as LMI) is applicable to the telescopic
boom crane, lattice boom crane, all- terrain crane and other types of cranes.
The HC3901 LMI can provide the crane operator with essential information required to operate the
crane within its design parameters. Using different sensors, LMI can provide the crane operator with
information on real time basis regarding boom length, boom angle, working height, working radius, rated
load and actual weight being lifted by the crane
The system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The boom angle is measured by
angle sensor that is mounted on the boom. The crane load is measured by force transducers attached to the
boom pendants. The real value, resulting from all the sensors measurement is compared with the reference
data, stored in the controller. If non-permitted conditions are approached, the LMI will warn the operator
by audible alarm, warning light and at the same time, some dangerous movements such as lifting and luffing
down will be stopped with the help of the crane control system.
This manual only gives guide for the LMI operation. Please refer to the Crane Operator’s Manual
provided by the crane manufacturer for detailed operating procedures of the crane.

Operator’s Manual

2. IMPORTANT NOTES
The LMI and control system is an operational aid that warns a crane operator of approaching overload
conditions and of over-hoist conditions that could cause damage to equipment and personnel.
The device is not, and shall not, be a substitute for good operator judgment, experience and use of
accepted safe machine operating procedures.

CAUTION
The responsibility for safe operation shall remain with the crane operator who shall ensure that all
warnings and instructions supplied are fully understood and observed, Prior to operating the crane ,the
operator must carefully and thoroughly read and understand the information in this manual to ensure that
he knows the operation and limitations of the LMI.

The LMI can only protect overload of the crane in boom vertical range without crane overturn
resulted from non-vertical lifting, ground inclination, derailed wheel etc. Therefore, the operators should
not neglect the crane safety management and operation regulation even if the crane is equipped with
LIM.

WARNING
The LMI can only work correctly after all adjustments have been properly set. To prevent material
damage and serious or even fatal accidents, operating mode, reeving and limit data have to be properly
set up before operating the crane.

If there is any change in the crane’s configuration data, the LMI needs to be re-calibrated.

Make sure to disconnect the power supply of the LMI from the crane before applying any welding
work on the crane body or booms. The pulse may cause damage to the electrical and electronics parts.
Hirschmann shall not be liable for any damage caused by this.

Make sure to disconnect the power supply of the LMI during thunderstorm weather. Hirschmann
shall not be liable for any damage caused by lightning.

DANGER
This system can be equipped with an external key-operated switch located in the crane operator's
cab. This key-operated switch overrides control lever function switch-off by the LMI or by the hoist limit
switch system.

This switch may only be used during emergency situations, and even then only by authorized
personnel. Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage to property and severe or even
fatal injuries to personnel.

If the LMI in use fails or is not properly functioning, please do stop the operation of the crane, and
contact the service of Hirschmann or crane manufacturer. Hirschmann does not assume any
responsibility for undesirable consequences resulted from the continued operation!

Installation
The correct positioning is important for installing angle sensors.
The angle sensors are usually installed along the right side boom, at the inner side of boom base, if it’s
viewed from the boom base to boom tip. (as shown below).
Make sure the horizontal line of sensor is parallel to the horizontal center line of the boom. Adjust the
bolts of the sensor to reduce the angle deviation between actual measured boom angle and displayed boom
angle on the console.

4.2Weight status bar

The weight percentage status bar indicates the relationship between the actual load weight and the
rated load weight during the crane operation and the weight percentage value is subject to the relationship
changes.
Green zone: safe range （weight percentage0-90%）
Yellow zone: pre-warning range （weight percentage 90-100%）
Red zone: over-load warning range （weight percentage exceeding100%）
4.3 Indicator light
Prewarning light
This yellow prewarning light comes up when the load on the machine amounts to more than 90%
of the respective nominal carrying load, which indicates that an overload situation is immediately
pending.
For the operator, this means that the machine work can continue only with the greatest amount of
caution

Overload warning light

This red Overload warning light indicates to the machine operator that an overload condition has
occurred. It lights up when the crane load has reached 100% of maximum load carrying capacity
permitted for the current operating status. The acoustic alarm sounds. The load-moment-
increasing crane movements are switched off at the same time

A2B switch lamp

This red warning light lights up when the heavy bob and spreader of A2B switch meet each other
and are hoisted. In the meanwhile, the buzzer alarms, which indicates the hook block has arised
the height maximum. Combining with the electric system, the crane movements from hoisting
and extending boom to luffing down are stopped. Please check A2B switch before operating the crane in
order to prevent human body and the crane from being injured.

Attention: Since A2B switch signal does not input into LMI system, this A2B switch lamp is used invalid.

6. SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
6.1 Warning
Under any below conditions, HC3901 LMI system will light up and send out alarm for warning.
 The crane is overload
 The hook approaching height limitation
 System error

6.2 Prohibition
Cooperating with crane electrics system, the LMI system will send alarm warning and any of the following
crane’s movements will be prohibited:
 Boom luffing down
 Hoisting up

At this moment, only the movements toward safe direction are allowed:
 Boom luffing up
 Hoisting down

18
7 INSPECTION MAINTENANCE AND CONSIDERATIONS
7.1 Inspection before Operation
 Check all components of the LMI system to make sure no one damages or breaks off.
 Turn the power on and detect whether the display is normal or there is warning, error indication and so
on.
 After display works normally, detect whether all the system works normally and whether the main
boom angle, work radius and load display are the same as the actual ones.

7.2 Routine Maintenance

 Check the angle transducer as to oil leakage.
 Check the insulating layer of all the cables. If the insulating layer or the wire inside damaged, please
replace new one immediately.
 Check the cable reel as to sufficient tight or not.
 Clean the display regularly to make it clear.

7.3 Routine Consideration

 Prevent the central unit (display)、power supply cabin、transducers from severely shake.
 Each part of the LMI system including central unit, console, transducers etc had been accurate adjusted and
checked by protection technology before leaving factory. Anyone not be trained professionally is prohibited
from dismantling the housing. Otherwise, the system will probably not work normally because of humidity
and dust getting into the components.

7.4 Buzzer Alarms

The buzzer alarms if the system shows normal without any fault codes after started. At this moment, exam
whether the conjunction between cable and A2B is junction off or short circuit of water-in.

7.5 Angle Sensor Adjustment

Use the angle instrument to measure if the displayed value is the
same when the actual angle is between 0°and 70°. If the displayed
value or radius is not the same with the actual value, operators
should adjust the angle transducer.
Release the three bolts (see the left picture)，Slowly turn the angle
transducer till the displayed value accords with the actual value
and then tight the three bolts again.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
There are 2 different kinds of errors: system or operation. When an error occurs, this means the system has
a fault. The description and code of errors will appear on the screen.

The following Error Code Table gives a brief description of Error Codes elimination.

CAUTION
The errors showed on the table are part of the possible errors of an LMI system. The Elimination on the
table only gives the operator some basic guidelines of solving the problems. If the errors cannot be solved
