General Information 1
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The PAT Load Moment Indicator (LMI) DS 160 has been designed to provide the crane operator with
the essential information required to operate the machine within its design parameters.
Using different 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
change as the crane moves through the motions needed to make the lift.
The LMI provides the operator with information regarding the angle of the boom, working radius, rated
load and the total calculated weight being lifted by the crane.
If non permitted conditions are approached, the DS 160 Load Moment Indicator will warn the operator
by sounding an audible alarm, lighting a warning light and locking out those functions that may
aggravate the crane’s condition.
Refer to operator’s manual 031-300-190-139 for console operating instructions.
2 WARNINGS
The LMI 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 crane operating procedures.
The responsibility for the safe crane 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 indicator and crane.
Proper functioning depends upon proper daily inspection and observance of the operating instructions
set forth in this manual. Refer to Section Pre-Operation Inspection and Calibration Verification of the
operator’s manual.
The LMI can only work correctly, if all adjustments have been properly set. For correct
adjustment, the operator has to answer thoroughly and correctly all questions asked during
the setup procedure in accordance with the real rigging state of the crane. To prevent
material damage and serious or even fatal accidents, the correct adjustment of the LMI has
to be ensured before starting the crane operation.

3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The PAT Load Moment Indicator DS 160 consists of a central microprocessor unit, operating console,
length/angle sensor, pressure transducers, and anti-two block switches.
The system operates on the principle of reference/real comparison. The real value, resulting from the
load measurement is compared with the reference data, stored in the central processor memory and
evaluated in the microprocessor. When limits are reached, an overload warning signal is generated at
the operator’s console. At the same time, the crane functions, such as hoist up and boom down, will be
stopped.
The fixed data regarding the crane, such as capacity charts, boom weights, centers of gravity and
dimensions are stored in memory chips in the central processor unit. This data is the reference
information used to calculate the operating conditions.
The length/angle sensors inside the cable reel, which is mounted on the boom, measure the boom
length and angle. The boom length is measured by the cable reel cable that also serves as an
electrical conductor for the anti two-block switches.
The crane load is measured by pressure transducers attached to the piston and rod sides of the hoist
cylinders.

15 TROUBLESHOOTING MOISTURE
The PAT DS 160 LMI contains electronic components in various locations, such as central unit,
sensors, junction boxes etc. These internal components cannot be designed to withstand exposure to
moisture over a longer period of time. For this reason, the housings of the components are water
protected according to IP 65. If you find water or moisture inside any of the housings, the source for
the water ingress has to be detected and corrected to ensure proper operation.
There are two major possibilities for the occurrence of excessive moisture inside an enclosure:
1) Water ingress
2) Condensation
This outline gives instructions for detecting the cause for excessive moisture by using simple
troubleshooting methods and how to prevent the moisture ingress from happening again.
15.1.1 Water Ingress
There are 6 possibilities for water to enter an enclosure:
1) Spray Cleaning
2) Missing / Loose Screws
3) Bent Lid
4) Defective Gasket
5) Loose Strain Relieves
6) Water Entry Through External Cabling
It is possible to find out the source of water ingress by going through the following steps and ruling out
one possibility after the other until the cause is identified:
1) Spray Cleaning
The enclosures used for the PAT DS 160 system are water protected to IP 65. This means
protection against the environment, such as rain. However, through the use of spray cleaner at
short distances, it is possible to force water through the gasket or strain relieves. For this reason,
avoid spraying any components from short distances with spray cleaners. Convey this fact to any
member of a maintenance crew.
2) Missing / Loose Screws

All screws have to be present and to be equally tight to ensure water protection of the enclosure. If
there are screws missing, replace them. If no screw is missing, check the tightness. If any were
loose, then open all screws and then re-tighten them equally.
3) Bent Lid
An enclosure will only seal correctly if the lid is not bent. To check this, loosen all screws of the lid,
take the lid off the box and visually inspect it for deflection. If the lid is bent or damaged, it needs to
be replaced. Try to determine what has caused the lid to be bent and eliminate the reason for that.
Order a new lid through your PAT representative.

Troubleshooting Moisture 41
4) Defective Gasket
The gasket underneath the lid seals the unit. The gasket needs to be in good condition in order to
seal correctly. If the gasket is torn, brittle or severely bent, it needs to be replaced. Order a new
gasket through your PAT representative.
5) Loose Strain Relieves

The strain relieves allow cabling to enter the box without allowing water to enter it. The strain
relieves have to be correctly tightened in order to do this. Check the tightness by taking the external
cable into one hand and carefully trying to turn it. If the internal wires turn with the outer cable, the
strain relief is loose. Get a new grommet (insert) through your PAT representative and replace the
existing one with the new one. Tighten the strain relief correctly. Note: Whenever a strain relief is
opened, i.e. to replace a cable, a new grommet needs to be used. Never re-use any grommet or the
strain relief will not seal properly!
6) Water Entry Through External Cabling

Even with a tight strain relief, water may still enter the box through the inside of the cable. In this
case, you have to find out why and where water enters the cable. Look for damages to the cable
itself and inspect the opposite side of the cable. In example, if the cable comes from a connector
that is full of water, the water will run through the inside of the cable and fill up the central unit, too.
15.1.2 Condensation
In a climate with high humidity and rapidly changing temperatures, condensation can happen inside
any enclosure, usually the larger the volume of the box, the more likely. In this case, water drops build
up on the inner components when humid air is trapped inside the box. With condensation, water
tightness is not a problem – the box is sealed just fine, which is what prevents the trapped air from
exiting the box. There are two ways to deal with condensation:
1. If the volume is very small, a desiccant bag might be able to soak up the air’s humidity.
2. If the effect is more severe, the only way to get rid of this effect is then to give the box the
ability to breath without sacrificing its water tightness. Contact your PAT representative for
breathing elements to than can be added to the box and will help to reduce the effects of
humid climates.

16 SENSOR THEORY
The system sensors provide a 4 to 20mA output; however, due to a fixed resistor circuit in the central
unit, the input signal can be measured using ammeter (current) or voltmeter (voltage). The input signal
operating window is 4 to 20mA, measured in series at the analog input terminal OR 1.0 to 4.9V,
measured in parallel between the analog input and ground (GND) terminals. At 4mA the voltage is
1.0V and at 20mA the voltage is 4.9V. When troubleshooting this system, a current or voltage needs
to be measured to determine the status or condition of the sensor.
16.1 THEORY 1. OPERATION OF PISTON SIDE LOAD SENSOR

Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the piston side input signal. Remove the wire from
X1:32 terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The
measurement should be between 4..20mA.
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins X1:32 (piston side signal) and X1:36 (gnd)
on the main board (024-050-300-030). The conversion of 4mA to the voltage of 1.0V is due to the
resistor circuit on the main board.

Theory 43
16.2 THEORY 2. OPERATION OF ROD SIDE LOAD SENSOR

Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the piston side input signal. Remove the wire from
X1:33 terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The
measurement should be between 4..20mA.
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins X1:33 (rod side signal) and X1:36 (gnd)
on the main board (024-050-300-030). The conversion of 4mA to the voltage of 1.0V is due to the
resistor circuit on the main board.

16.3 THEORY 3. OPERATION OF BOOM LENGTH SENSOR
Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the length input signal. Remove the wire from X1:34
terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The measurement
should be between 4..20mA.
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins X1:34 (length signal) and X1:39 (gnd) on
the main board (024-050-300-030). The conversion of 4mA to the voltage of 1.0V is due to the resistor
circuit on the main board.

Theory 45
16.4 THEORY 4. OPERATION OF ANGLE SENSOR

Measuring current:
The ammeter A is used to measure current at the length input signal. Remove the wire from X1:35
terminal in the central unit and measure the current with the ammeter in series. The measurement
should be between 4..20mA.
Measuring voltage:
The voltmeter V is used to measure voltage between pins X1:35 (angle signal) and X1:39 (gnd) on
the main board (024-050-300-030). The conversion of 4mA to the voltage of 1.0V is due to the resistor
circuit on the main board.

17 DS50C TO DS160 UPGRADE INSTALLATION

DS160 Upgrade Installation 47
17.1 Console Mounting

The console has a mount that allows the console to be swiveled into any direction and to be mounted
in a variety of locations and on nearly any surface. Choose a location that is in line of site of the
sensor and within reach of the operator. Securely attach the two RAM mount bases onto a solid
surface for the left and right side operation. The console cable may not fit through goose neck/conduit
as existing wiring; therefore, run the console cable to the outside of the conduit and insure there no
interference. Refer to 13.6 Console DS160/0005 / Parts List.
17.2 Central Unit Mounting

Mount the central unit in covered but accessible location. You will need to remove the cover and
access the EPROM’s and main board. The central is supplied with 4 mounting weld tabs or can be
bolted in place. Refer to 13.4 Central Unit Main Board Termination and Breakdown / Parts List for CU
dimensions and 13.3 System Wiring Diagram.
17.3 Software
The existing software for the DS50C must be sent to Hirschmann Electronics. The data on the
EPROM’s will be reconfigured for the DS160. Use the EPROM module supplied with the DS160.
17.4 Pressure Transducer Replacement
Use the 031-300-050-689 hydraulic adapter (9/16-18 UNF-2B;M16 X 1.56-18 UNF-2B) to replace the
existing passive pressure transducers with the new 4.20mA pressure transducer. Refer to 13.8
Pressure Transducer (DAVS300 / 3401)

17.5 DS160 COMPONENT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Retract the boom fully. Refer to the manufacturer’s operator’s manual and familiarize yourself
with its operation and the LMI bypass. Lower the boom to gain access to the DS 50 system.
2. Switch crane power off.
3. Remove the cable reel cover face by loosening all 10 screws. The screws should remain
secured in the lid.
4. Remove all connections located at X-1, X-2, X-7 and X-8.
5. Remove the two screws that secure the EPROM module and remove it.
(2) screws that secure the EPROM

module
The EPROM is a sensitive device and

can be damaged if not handled
properly. To prevent damage,
discharge any static electricity in your
body before handling the EPROM’s.
This can be accomplished by touching
a grounded surface.
WARNING: Do not re-use the DS50 EPROM module in the cable reel, as damage may occur
to the DS160 system.
6. Remove the two screws that secure the gear wheel guardrail.

7. Remove the (4) screws holding the slip ring/length sensor mounting plates and remove the slip
ring and length sensor assemblies.
Mounting plate screws
8. Replace the length sensor potentiometer (068-000-300-018) with the pot + board and JST wire
assembly provided. The length pot is keyed not to turn as shown below and should be installed
in the plastic mounting plate.

9. Locate the (8) Philips screws that secure the main board to the cable reel housing and
carefully remove the screws.
10. Carefully remove the main board.

11. Remove (2) screws in the bottom of the cable reel as shown and install (2) M3 x 25mm
standoffs as seen in the two photographs below.
12. Reinstall the slip ring/length sensor and mounting plates (previously removed in step 7) into
the cable reel and tighten the (4) screws.
13. Install angle sensor (064-143-060-005) into the cable reel using the (3) M6x16mm screws and
washers provided in the kit.

14. Install the gear wheel and guard rail. Tie wrap the wires as shown to prevent wires from getting
wrapped in the gear wheels or slip ring.
15. Install (2) M3 x 25mm standoffs in the 068-000-300-060 (labeled on board as 68 000 30 0060)
using (2) 3mm hex nuts and (2) 3mm washers as shown below. These (2) standoffs serve as
legs to support the board and are not attached to the reel.

16. Install the board into the cable reel using (2) 3mm x 6mm screws and (2) 3mm washers.
Connect the length JST connector to X3 and the angle sensor connector to X4. Strip the red
and brown wires and connect red to X2:7 and brown to X2:8.
17. Connect cable assembly 031-300-060-414 (7 conductor x 18’ long) to the cable assembly
extending from the central unit. Route the cable up the boom to the cable reel. Allow a
minimum 12” length to extend into the cable reel, then cutoff the excess cable. Strip the outer
cable jacket, cut the outer shield, and install the cable into the reel through the PG11 green
colored strain relief per the diagram below. For the wiring diagram to the board shown above,
refer to the system wiring diagram on page 27 in this manual.

18. Install the PG13.5 hole plug in the other cable entry hole in the cable reel.
19. Adjust length and angle sensor.
a. Reset length potentiometer in length angle transducer (screw is located in center of white
gear); with boom fully retracted, turn potentiometer carefully counter-clockwise until it
stops.
b. Check the angle. Use a calibrated inclinometer to measure the main boom angle and
compare with displayed angle on console. Adjust the angle sensor if necessary. Loosen the
mounting screws holding the angle sensor in the reel. The plate is slotted which will allow
the sensor to be adjusted in the reel until the displayed angle is equal to or 2 degrees less
than the actual (measured) boom angle.
c. Verify A2B operation. Refer to Operator’s Manual 031-300-190-139.
20. Replace cable reel cover and tight the cover bolt in a crossing pattern to 5.5N-m or 7ft-lbs.
21. Proceed to Section 14.3 (page 35) for the Calibration of Sensors Procedure.

17.6 LMI SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURE
WARNING
Do not operate the crane out side the permissible operating range for the type of crane / capacity chart being tested.
1) Most crane manufacturer calibrate the cranes with the jib removed it is recommended that this is done to carry out
the following test. How ever on some cranes this might not be the case, if in doubt contact the manufacturer.
2) For calibration verification a test load is to be employed for each of the following configuration;
NOTE: For safety reasons first measure the allowable radius for the load being used have a spotter to
ensure the system stops the functions at or before this point.
3) Maximum Boom Length and Middle Radius (select a load that will lock out the functions about the middle of the load
chart in the long boom length step)
4) The following test should be recorded signed and dated. A copy of this test sheet should be available at all times.
5) Test load to be applied by suspending known weights accurate to +/-1%. Weights of all additional equipment such as
blocks, slings, sensors, etc., are included in the test load. The total load is to be known to an accuracy of +/-1%.
With extended boom and the load suspended, move the load smoothly from the short radius to overload lock out, measure
and record radius, calculate cut off % see section 6. Ensure the appropriate functions are disabled.
6) Computations:
For each radius measured in the above tests refer to the applicable load rating chart and determine the rated load.
At radii intermediate to those on the load chart, rated load shall be determined by linear interpolation unless
otherwise specified by the crane manufacturer.
The system accuracy is to be determined from the following formula:
TEST LOAD x 100 = % OF RATED LOAD

RATED LOAD at cut off radius/angle
7) The actual load which activates the overload lock out is not less than 90% of the rated load nor more than 100% of
the rated load for the corresponding actual load radius or boom angle.
Note: This is a general standard and variations may exist, if in doubt contact the crane manufacturer.
