DS-85 - Load Moment Indicator for Mobile Cranes |
|
.jpg) The PAT DS-160 LMI from PAT America is a CAN-Bus based LMI that puts a full range of precise information right in the cab. Designed for use in smaller telescopic cranes and boom trucks, the DS -85 is installed and calibrated to the crane's load chart including specific load and geometric limits or boom length, angle, tip height and operating radius. The systems microprocessor technology allows operators to work with confidence by giving them constant access to the information they need. Having this invaluable data during demanding situations results in more productive lifts. As the global leader in crane information systems, PAT gives you an unmatched combination of product quality and field support. PAT service, parts and training ensure that the DS 160 meets your demands for performance and reliability with fast on-site installation and accurate calibration to your specific needs.
The PAT DS-85 offers a full-range of outstanding features, including:
Measures True Load Moment:
By measuring the true load moment the PAT DS-85 senses 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 in the boom pendants, and in telescopic boom cranes with pressure transducers in the lift cylinders.
Digital LCD Display: medium sized characters and a super-twisted LCD-backlit for night operation, gives operators a clear and easy view from all angles.
Analog Indication of relative load moment information 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 DS-160 provides a relay output which can be used to engage an optional lever lockout system to override hoist "up" telescope "out" and boom "down."
Features
- Displays actual and allowable load, boom length, boom angle, and load radius
- Alerts the operator in an impending two block condition
- Integrated light bar provides a quick reference of the crane’s utilization
- Quick and easy set-up through the operator’s console
- User-friendly console
- Meets SAE and ANSI B-30.5 standards
Self-Diagnostics – Continuously monitors system and sensors. Error codes are displayed to help identify problems and minimize downtime.
The DS-85 was initially installed by Manitex in Georgetown Texas as a standard LMI system for Boom Trucks. The DS-85 is a CAN-Bus based system with all sensor inputs via the CAN. In 2007 the DS-85 System was replaced by the PAT Can-Bus Mentor system.
