Hirschmann/PAT/WIKA – DS350GW System Console

Description

 PAT DS350GW CONSOLE:

The PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) DS350 GW has been designed to provide the crane operator with the essential information that is required to enable the machine to be used within its design parameters. Using various sensing devices, the Load Moment Indicator monitors various crane functions and provides the operator with a continuous reading of the crane’s capacity. The readings continuously update as the crane moves through the motions needed in order to make the lift.

The DS350GW provides the operator with information regarding the length and angle of the boom, tip height, working radius, rated load, as well as the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane. If the DS350GW detects that non-permitted conditions are approached, an audible alarm will warn the operator, lighting a warning light and locking out those functions that may aggravate the crane’s condition.

DS350GW Console Features:

• Measures True Load Moment – By measuring the true load moment, the DS350GW is able to sense boom dynamics, load swingout, wind loading, shock load, and the effects of boom deflection. Load moment is measured in lattice boom cranes with a force transducer which is located in the boom pendants, and in telescopic boom cranes with pressure transducers located  in the lift cylinders.
• Digital LCD Display – Large characters and a super-twisted LCD-backlit for night operation, gives operators a clear and easy view from all angles.
• Analog Meter – Along with relative load moment information, the console provides a quick, convenient way for operators to see where they are in the load chart.
• Anti-Two-Block – A special hoist limit switch sounds an alarm and flashes a visual warning of an impending two-block condition.
• Function Control Lever Lockout – When the LMI System senses an overload or an impending two-block condition, the DS350GW provides a relay output which can be used to engage an optional lever lockout system to override hoist “up” telescope “out” and boom “down.”
• Self-Diagnostics – Continuously monitors system and sensors. Error codes are displayed to help identify problems and minimize downtime.
