1.5 Removal and Installation: 1. Place the crane in rigging mode and raise the boom. This will allow access to the hose

fittings and wiring harness connections.

NOTE: Leave the Power and FKO cable connected to allow movement of the boom during the removal and installation process.

2. Disconnect the extension reel cable.

3. Disconnect the swing sensor.

4. Remove the display.

5. Remove the display cable.

6. Unscrew the four bolts and remove the old computer from its mounting and place computer on the deck.

NOTE: Do not disconnect the power and FKO cables.

7. The new computer is smaller than the existing one. Mount the new computer using one of the existing bolt holes. Use the new computer as a template to drill three new mounting holes.

8. Screw in the remaining 3 bolts and ensure the computer is firmly attached.

9. Lower the boom completely. Remove the existing pressure sensors.

10. Install the new pressure hoses and retain the velocity fuses.

NOTE: Install the velocity fuse In-line with base side pressure sensor. Ensure there is sufficient length for boom travel without stretching or damaging hoses.

NOTE: Install bleeder fittings at the cylinder. Obtain the fittings from your hose dealer.

WARNING! Failure to ensure the velocity fuse is correctly installed may cause a

dangerous uncontrolled, downward movement of the boom in the case of hose failure.

11. Connect the new pressure hoses to the new computer.



301-371-6126

12. Raise the boom.

13. If using the existing reeling drum, disconnect the extension reel cable and remove. The new computer is wired with a new cable and only needs to be attached to the reeling drum. Install the display.

14. Install the display cable.

15. Install the power and FKO cables to the new computer.

16. Slowly elevate the boom to its Maximum Angle to ensure the pressure hoses and electrical cables are routed properly.

ATTENTION! It is easy to misroute the pressure hoses and electrical cables. If misrouted,

when the boom is raised the 1st time the hoses/cables can be damaged or destroyed. Use caution.

Chapter 2 ‐ Calibration

301-371-6126

IntroductionThis manual describes the calibration process for the Link-Belt MG-534 Rated Capacity Indicator System (hereinafter referred to as “the system”) in an on-site environment and assumes that there is no prior knowledge of the geometry of the crane other than data provided by the manufacturer. This document also assists personnel in obtaining necessary measurements for calibration and in maintaining a record of the measurements and test results for review and/or comparison when changes are made. Recording measurements and test results during the calibration process will ensure an organized and easy to follow calibration.

Required Tools

1/4” nut driver or T15 Torx driver•

Digital or bubble level calibrated and accurate to 0.1° at level •

Minimum 100 foot measuring tape (200 foot may be required) - fiber type graduated in •tenths of feet

Typical Tape Measuregraduated in inches

Tape Measuregraduated in tenths

of a foot

Note: The computer calculates measurements in feet and tenths of a foot, so having the correct measure will facilitate entering measurements.

Digital volt/Ohm Meter capable of measurements to three decimal places•

Number Conversion

If you are using a standard tape measure, the measurement must be converted into feet and tenths of a foot. For example: a distance of 35’–6” would be entered into the system as 35.5 feet. Whole inches can be easily converted by dividing by 12 (6/12=.5). Fractions of an inch are converted by dividing the numerator by the denominator. For example: 1/4 inches would be entered as .25 (1/4=.25). Conversion of whole inches and fractions of an inch (for example 6-1/4”) are converted by first converting the fraction to a decimal and then dividing by 12. In this case 6-1/4” is converted to 6.25 and then divided by 12 which equals 0.520.

When entering weights, the number must be converted by moving the decimal three places to the left. For example: a weight of 1,400 pounds would be entered as 1.4, and a weight of 300 pounds would be entered as .300.



301-371-6126

Number Entry

The system display does not use a numeric keypad. Instead, a range of numbers and characters is assigned to a particular key.

To select a particular number, press the key adjacent to the number until it is selected by flashing brackets < >.

When entering negative numbers, select the negative symbol ( - ) first.

Decimal points are entered the same as numbers.

After the desired symbol or number is selected, press the key adjacent to the number entry field (enter key) to enter the number.

If an error is made in data entry, selecting the “<” symbol and pressing the enter key will delete one character. Selecting the “C” symbol and pressing the enter key will erase the entire entry.

Once the desired numerical value is entered, press the key adjacent to Exit. Press the key adjacent to YES! Calibrate! to confirm the entry.

Press the key adjacent to Exit to cancel the number entry procedure.

Menu 04 – Swing Pot ZeroThis routine is required only on models that have swing potentiometers.

The zero point for the swing potentiometer is straight (in-line) over the front of the carrier.

Swing direction is similar to a compass whereas if the boom is straight (in-line)over the front of the carrier it is at zero degrees (0°). Rotating the boom in a clockwise direction (to the right) will cause the readout to increase. Conversly, rotating the boom in a counterclockwise direction (to the left) will cause the readout to decrease. If the swing potentiometer is connected in such a way that it causes the readout to be reversed, it can be corrected by using the direction sub-menu.

BE NO NEED TO PERfORM ThIS ROuTINE.

Use this command to calibrate the radius and moment of the main boom. It requires readings from the main boom at high and low angles fully retracted retracted, and at high and low angles extended to predetermined lengths. All required data must be stored for the calibration to function properly. If the data is not stored, the system will display a warning message and the calibration must be repeated.

High angle is considered greater than sixty degrees (60°). Low angle is considered less than twenty degrees (20°). Any attempt to acquire data outside of these limits will result in the warning message “poor angle.” If this message is displayed because of an error, it can be corrected. The procedure may then be continued using corrected data. If this message is displayed due to requiring data outside the preferred angles, then the data may be entered using the high angle or low angle key to indicate the unusual angle for which data is being acquired.

Exit any previous calibration. Press the crane setup button and select fully extended 1. outriggers, main boom, no attachments, or a stowed attachments.

Fully retract the boom and lower (if necessary) to five degrees (5°).2.

Determine the weight of the hook block in use. Measure the radius from the centerline of 3. rotation to the center of the hook or line (if single part).

Raise the hook block close to the two-block weight to eliminate rope weight.4.

free Bm Mode• - this mode allows the operator to select the main boom + manual configuration after the manual section (if equipped) is already extended. if the crane being calibrated has Mode A and Mode B selections, this mode must be set to “no.” Damage could result from the wrong selection made.

Area Alarm• - this limit activates the area alarm. Refer to the crane operator’s manual for explanation of the area alarms.

Low Angle Alarm• - some models have engine covers that stand tall and could be damaged by the boom or the boom hoist cylinders. Two alarms are used to warn the operator of the approach to this potential damage; these are swing arc and boom angle. These alarms are preset for:

Low arc = 70° Low ang = 4.5°

Alternate chart• - allows activation of alternate charts, if available, in the applications part of the system chip.

Load scale• - is a small scaling factor to allow load trimming. It should not be altered.

glossary of terms

Term DefinitionAbort Stops data entry into the system before the entry process is finalized.Alarm A visual or audible warning signal.Amplifier Increases - example: a pressure transducer in the millivolt range is amplified up to ten

volts).Amplifier gain The factor used to express the level of amplification.Analog A mechanism in which data is represented by continuously variable physical quantities.Angle sensor A device that measures the angle of the boom relative to the horizon.Annular Relating to, or forming a ring (e.g. the pressure around the rod of a boom hoist cylinder).Annular gain The factor used to modify the pressure signal from the rod side of the boom hoist

cylinder based on the difference in areas of the rod and the bore.Back-up A copy of data saved in a separate computer chip.Boom deflection The change of radius due to the bending of a boom under load.Boom moment The turning moment around the boom pivot caused by the moment of the unladen boom.Bore The piston side of a boom hoist cylinder.Calibration The adjustment of the graduation of sensors.Capacity chart A table, supplied by the crane manufacturer, showing the specifications and ratings for

each individual crane.Center of gravity The point at which the entire weight of a body may be considered as concentrated, so

that if supported at this point, the body would remain in equilibrium in any position.Commissioning Preparing to be put into service.Configuration The position of the crane supporting appendages and all lifting elements of a crane.Cursor A pointer on a display that indicates where data is to be entered.Data Factual information used as a basis for calculation.Deduct A reduction in rated capacity for an unused, stowed, or erected attachment.Deflection The bending of a boom or the stretching of pendant lines within the elastic limits of the

boom or pendants.Digital Operating with numbers shown as digits.Digital inputs Computer - usually controlled by external on/off switches.Direction The course on which the upper section (superstructure) of a crane rotates.Duty A working configuration of a crane usually found in a single column of a capacity chart.Eeprom Electrically erasable and programmable “read only” memory (rom).Elastic Capable of recovering size or shape after expansion. Erected attachment An attachment on the main boom in working (not stowed) position.Extension sensor A device that measures the extension of the telescoping sections of a boom.Fly/jib An attachment connected by one edge to a crane boom (e.g. A lattice fly, or jib).Force Energy exerted, in this case to support the weight of an object.Geometry A branch of mathematics addressed to the measurement and relationships of points,

lines, angles, surfaces, and solids.Graduated Marked with degrees of measurement.

Term DefinitionHeight The vertical distance from the ground to the tip of the boom or attachment.Hite An abbreviation of the word height. The height of the boom pivot above ground level.Horizontal Parallel to the horizon.Hydraulic cranes Using the pressure of oil for operation.Increment The action of increasing a number or value.Initializes Erases all data from memory prior to a new calibration.Integrated circuits A tiny complex of electronic components and connections on a small slice of material

(such as silicon).Measure height To determine the vertical distance from below the boom pivot to the ground. Radius

measurements are made from these points when calibrating.Microprocessor A computer processor contained on an integrated chip.Millivolt One thousandth of a volt.Moment The product of force and distance in relation to a particular axis or point.Out of duty A point that is either longer than the longest permitted radius or lower than the lowest

permitted angle on a capacity chart.Outrigger A mechanical device that projects from the main structure of the crane to provide

additional stability or support.Personality A computer chip storing active calibration data.Pressure Hydraulic pressure in the boom hoist cylinder.Radius The horizontal distance from the centerline of rotation to the center of the hook.Rated capacity The lifting capacity of a crane, as determined by the manufacturer’s published capacity

chart.Rated capacity The load that a crane can safely support, based on factors such as strength, stability,

and rating.Rating A factor determined by legislation that limits the action of a crane in a lifting operation.

Usually expressed as a percentage of strength or stability.Restore Move data from a back-up chip to the personality “a” active chip.Rom “Read only” memory. Data can be read but not changed after programming.Rope limit The maximum permitted single line pull determined by the construction and diameter of a

wire rope.Save Move data from the working personality to a ‘write protected’ area of memory.Scale The use of a factor to set the scaling of analog sensors.Scale Something graduated when used in measurement.Sensitivity The capacity of a sensor to respond to physical stimulus.Sensor A device that responds to a physical stimulus and transmits a resulting impulse.Sheave A grooved wheel or pulley.Slew offset The horizontal distance from the boom pivot to the center of rotation.Span An extent or spread between two limits.Span The calibration of an analog sensor between zero and maximum span.Stowed attachment An attachment usually stored in an inactive position on the main boom.Superstructure The structural part of a crane above the carrier, usually rotating.Swing The rotation of a crane upper around its centerline.

Term DefinitionSwl (%swl) Percentage of ‘safe working load.’ The proportion of the crane capacity that is being

utilized at any one time and expressed as a percentage of rated capacity.Transducer A device that is actuated by energy from one system and converts this energy to another

form for use by a different system (as a loudspeaker that is actuated by electrical signals and supplies acoustic power).

Tx.0 The piston side pressure transducer.Tx.1 The rod side pressure transducer.Unladen A boom that has no additional stowed or erected attachments and is not supporting a

load.Volt Unit of electrical potential difference and electromotive force.Weight The amount that a body weighs.Write protected An area of memory in a computer that cannot be accessed by a microprocessor for data

entry or change.Zero The zero point on a graduated scale.
