1 - Work principles
The DMU3000 PLUS is an electronic load (EOP) limiter that allows safe working of the crane, avoids
overloading of the crane structure and automatically limits maximum speed in certain operational
conditions.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ACTIVATE THE DEVICE BY MEANS OF THE RELEVANT CONTROLS, IN ORDER TO
OPERATE WITH THE CRANE.
Whilst working, the DMU 3000 PLUS receives the pressure values present inside various lifting cylinders
and those relative to the positioning of crane arms.
Through the “CAN-BUS” communication system, the DMU 3000 PLUS load control system is in constant
contact with the RADIO CONTROL, automatically setting limits to the maximum operational speeds
admitted to the crane. These speed limits derive from two factors:
1) geometric configuration of the crane
2) load applied to the hook
working with a DMU 3000 PLUS is, without doubt, extremely safe as well as enjoyable!

maximum speed set maximum speed admitted

CAUTION
There can also be automatic increases in the cranes movement speed: we emphasize that these
happen in a much more progressive manner, compared to slowing down, in order to let the
operator manage crane movement safely.


THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
 DMU3000 PLUS operator’s manual

When the 100% crane maximum performance

is reached, some movements are automatically
blocked, and only load approaching to the crane
column is allowed.
On the control panels located next to crane
manual controls, the cylinder which activated
the stop of some manouvres is pointed out. This
helpful indication enables to use the crane at
maximum performances of all structural compo-
nents. The device engagement does not permit
the operator to make those movements with the
crane, which could bring away the load from the
crane base. This particular manoeuvre would sub-
sequently increase the crane load at the base.

Note The electronic parts of the over-

load limiter are located in the rear
side of the main control panel: an
applied seal with the EFFER mark
must be visible on a panel side,
otherwise the product warranty
is void.

Note On the lower part of the DMU

electrical box there is a switch
that can be used to limit the acou-
stic alarm functioning time to 5
seconds. We emphasise that this
CAN NOT be used whilst using
crane with the radio control.

3 - Start of DMU3000 PLUS device

After setting up the lorry as shown in the crane user manual, in order to start the device you must:

1
u TURN THE MAIN SWITCH
by moving the switch (1) into “I” position, the
device is electrically engaged

u CHECK THAT THE “STOP” WARNING LAMP

SHALL NOT TURNED ON
3
if the warning lamp (6) is on, one or more emer-
gency stop push-buttons (3) is/are pushed to
release it, turn the push-button clockwise.

THE DEVICE IS UNDER AUTO-DIAGNOSTIC

PHASE
6
Once control is finished, the warning lamps at side
and the acoustic alarm operate for one second,
in case of positive result

u CHECK THAT THE GREEN “ON”WARNING LAMP

IS LIGHTING
if the warning lamp (7) is lighting, the first start
phase gave a positive result. Otherwise, re-check
all above stated points or a fault is present.

Start-up for using the crane via the distribu-

tor lever:
u PUSH THE “RESET” PUSH-BUTTON WHILE
FLASHING 7
after a few seconds of fix light, the push-button
(2) starts to flash slowly. Then, after pushing, it
switches off to show that the start phase is over.

Start-up for using the crane via the radio

control:
u PRESS THE RESET BUTTON ON THE PUSH-
BUTTON PANEL: the DMU will emit a brief sound
that indicates that the start-up phase is com-
plete. This operation must be carried out after
electronically activating the radio control and 2
the transmitter.

CHOICE OF ACOUSTIC ALARM

u USING THE SWITCH (10) allows you to select
an acoustic alarm signal that can either be con-
tinuous (will only stop once the alarm situation
is over) or timed (stops after 5 seconds after the
beginning of the alarm situation). Selecting the
type of acoustic signal is carried out by using the
selector switch placed in the lower part of the
main panel.

10

CAUTION
In case crane drive is achieved by a remote control, the selected acoustic alarm shall be continuous
only (EN 12999 A1-A2 standard).

Note Whilst working a safety function is automatically active, an acoustic signal intervenes as
usual and the light, which corresponds with safety function that intervened, will switch
on.

 DMU3000 PLUS operator’s manual

3.1 Device functioning check

The standard rule ref. UNI EN 12999 A1-A2, according to the standard ref. UNI EN 12644-1 states
that the operator is compelled to check the correct condition and operation of the safety devices
before EACH WORK CYCLE.

CAUTION
At each work cycle, before starting the crane, perform the following checks:

HOW TO CARRY OUT CHECKS

A Limiter and load indicator of standard crane and jib:
With the crane without load, make the 1st boom cylinder reach the up limit stop. The control bank lever
must be activated, and acoustic alarms and warning lamps must operate before reaching the 90% of
crane max. lifting capacity and then, the 100% of crane max. lifting capacity.
With the jib without load, moves the 2nd boom below the horizontal line, switch on and off the DMU,
push the RESET button, and within 60 seconds since have pressed the RESET button and activated the
crane, perform an opening manoeuvre of the jib up to the limit stop. On reaching 100%, outgoing move-
ment of the basic crane and additional joint (if present) extensions, must not be allowed.
B Load limiter in derated area:
with the crane without load, set in no-derated work area, make the 1st boom cylinder reach slowly the
up limit stop. After activation of acoustic alarms and warning lamps because the 100% crane max. lifting
capacity was reached, the crane must not be able to enter the derated area.
C Position limiter (joint and second boom inclination):
Make sure that an acoustic signal (beep) is emitted when the joint aligns with the second boom.
Make sure that a double acoustic signal (beep-beep) is emitted when the second boom exceeds the
30°-angle over the horizontal line.
D With the crane without load, perform a rise manoeuvre of the jib boom up to the limit stop posi-
tion, then perform a rise manoeuvre of the 1st boom or of the 2nd boom. The position limiter device shall
block the crane as soon as the supplementary fly-jib reaches a 50° angle respect to the horizontal line.
Whilst keeping all extensions withdrawn, align the first boom, second boom and crane joint, and carry
out an ascending manoeuvre with the first boom. The position limiter device must block the crane in a
way that almost forms an 85° angle of the aligned arms and the horizontal.
E Emergency devices: press one mushroom shaped emergency button at a time from each control
placement. The crane should not move if any of the mushroom-shaped emergency buttons are pressed
(active).
F Winch safety devices (winch optional):
With the crane empty, carry out a winch cable ascent limit stop manoeuvre. The winch ascent movement
needs to be blocked prior to any kind of collision between the hook and pulley.
With the crane without load, perform a downward manoeuvre. The downward movement must stop at
least with three winded rope turns.

Note The standard rules above mentioned require to carry out the checks A, B, C, E, before
each working cycle.

4 - Moving the crane

4.1 Crane opening in safety

As described in the User Manual, a correct

manoeuvre to open the crane shall start with a
?
closure manoeuvre performed by the 2nd boom
cylinder: in that way, the hydraulic oil in the front
side of the cylinder will reach the correct pres-
sure, allowing the 2nd boom to rest firmly in its STOP
position after its removal from the support on the
column. It can be easily foreseen that a sudden
movement of the 2nd boom unit downwards,
during crane opening, will damage the crane
seriously.

On some crane models supplied with pressure transducer fitted also on the 2nd boom hydraulic cylinder,
a function provided by the DMU3000 PLUS device allows to stop crane movements when crane opening
started without a closure manoeuvre of the 2nd boom cylinder.
In order to restore crane movements stopped by the intervention of this working block, select a closure
manoeuvre of the 2nd boom cylinder.

Note All cranes are delivered with this function OFF. In order to activate this function, contact
EFFER service center, in oder to set the DMU3000 PLUS by the proper software.

4.2 Crane operation

The DMU3000 PLUS overload limiter, at its start, automatically blocks the crane movements that move
the load away from the crane column. Therefore, before moving loads, see the crane load diagram in
order to avoid interrupting the required manoeuvres.
The following operative conditions may be faced:
even if there is no load applied on the hook, the crane will slow down a number of move-
ments:

u The crane has a geometric configuration, therefore,

automatic slowing down functions have been
applied
l See the chapter relative to “start of functioning” in
order to understand automatic slowing down of
crane movements.

with a load applied to the hook, the crane slows down a number of movements

u Movement of the load applied to the hook requires a

pressure value that slightly exceeds the maximum
allowed pressure for working the crane, therefore,
automatic slowing down function mode takes
place.
l See the chapter relative to “start of functioning” in
order to understand automatic slowing down of
crane movements.

90% of max. lifting capacity is reached

u the yellow warning lamp is on, and an acoustic slow intermittent signal is audible: however, the crane
may be operated.

l the red warning lamp relevant to the cylinder reaching the max. capacity is on, an acoustic quick
intermittent signal is audible. The load may be only brought near to crane base.

STOP

Bip-Bip-Bip-

CAUTION
A) it is always possible to bring the load close to crane base: the pressure inside the cylinders
goes down and all movements are automatically restored.

CAUTION
B) it is possible to lower both crane arms when the 2nd boom is positioned under horizontal and,
in some cases, even when it is over the horizontal but within an angle of 30°. (The latter movement
is only possible if the 100% applied maximum load peak is exceeded by a small amount).

CAUTION
C) it is still possible to carry out rotation manoeuvres, as long as you do not wish to enter in a
downgraded performance area with the crane rotation.

CAUTION
D) the intervention of the safety device DMU3000 PLUS (especially with the crane in horizontal
configuration) can be affected by load oscillations and operating speeds: an improper opera-
tion can be easily reset executing a fast manoeuvre with the lever corresponding to standard
machine extension, in the direction of re-enter. The erasure of an eventual improper operation
depends on the shifts of the lever in the correct direction: no movements of hydraulic extensions
are necessary. This procedure can be repeated 5 times at the most.

The max. emergency limit is reached because of sudden operative stops or big load oscil-
lations.

The red warning lamps relevant to cylinders showing dangerous

situation are on, an acoustic continuous signal is audible. The load
may be only brought near to crane base; no slewing manoeuvres are
allowed.

The max. emergency limit is reached because of:

- sharp end stroke opening of cylinder (even without any load hanged on the hook);
- weight higher than crane capacity hanged on the hook and trial of lifting it quickly.

The red warning lamps relevant to cylinders showing dangerous situa-

tion are on, an acoustic continuous signal is audible. The crane can not
be operated.

Pressing the “RESET” button on the DMU 3000 PLUS panel or on the radio control transmitter, will make
the “RESET” button on the DMU flash for 10 seconds, within which it is possible to carry out a brief descent
movement in order to free the crane from the stop position (except for extension outgoing manoeuvres).
The amount of time allowed for the manoeuvre depends on the position of the second boom: three
seconds if the boom is positioned with an angle that is less than 30° and two seconds if the angle is
greater than 30°. This operation can be carried out a maximum of 5 times, or until the maximum allowed
limit is reached. You must wait for 30 seconds between one manoeuvre and another. Even though the
acoustic block signal stops it may not be possible to note that the boom has lowered.

Biiiip Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip Bip.........Bip

Note When the load limiter starts to work, it is recommended to carry out a “check pressure”
operation by moving the lever of the extension on the re-entry side, with a series of quick
movements (the device reacts to a maximum of 5 movements). In this way, possible
memorization of incorrect pressure is deleted.

4.3 Stand-by
If, during the job, no controlbank lever has been
operated for over 30 minutes, the DMU3000 is
in STAND-BY position and the warning lamp
shown in the picture starts to flash (two flashes
alternated by a pause).
To start manoeuvring the crane, two different
procedures are available, depending on the
use:
- use of the crane in manual mode, by the controlbank levers: a whole start-up procedure shall be
launched, by switching on the main switch.
- use of the crane via radio control: press the emergency stop button on the radio control transmitter,
then release the button and connect the radio signal to the receiver, by pushing the RESET button.

5 - Connection of supplementary fly-jib, winch and

rotator/grab
5.1 Hydraulic supplementary fly-jib
The following notes are helpful to fly-jib use on
those crane models, where the DMU3000 PLUS
electronic device is available.
- fly-jib work is assimilable to the one of crane
2nd boom.
- fly-jib is hydraulically activated through connection of four quick couplings.
- an electric connector is located close to the hydraulic quick couplings. The electric activation of the
fly-jib occurs when such connector is fitted.
Note Without any electric connection, the fly-jib may not be operated.

Electric connection:
The electric connection is carried out by connecting the plug present where the basic machine and
additional joint join together.

5.2 Winch
The electric cable of the winch rope limit switch
must be connected to the cable indicated by the
arrow, if the return pulley is applied to the last
hydraulic extension of the standard crane.
In case the winch rope limit switch is applied to
the supplementary jib tip, instead of the plug
with electric by-pass function - INDISPENSABLE
TO OPERATE THE STANDARD CRANE - a simple cap
protecting the electric contact must be fitted.

Note If the articulation is not used, the mobile metal connector must be fixed to an attachment
arranged on the articulation itself, so as to protect the electric connections.

5.3 Use of equipment

u Rotor / Bucket
A piece of equipment where a rotor/bucket can be ap-
plied to the crane (this match must previously be certi-
fied by an EFFER authorised centre) or to the edge of
the basic crane as an alternative to using the additional
hydraulic joint. It can also be joined to the edge of the
basic crane if it is equipped with two opportunely pre-
prepared additional controls.

u Use as an alternative to the additional joint

The pipes relative for working the hydraulic rotor and bucket need to be connected to the two hydraulic
controls relative for working the additional joint jack and the additional extension. On the edge of the
last extension of the basic crane there is an electric connector for electric connecting the additional
joint. A “by-pass key”, indispensable for hydraulic activation of the two function modes, needs to be
applied to this connector.

u Use via two controls

Piping relative to hydraulic rotor and bucket functioning, needs to be connected to the two opportunely
pre-prepared hydraulic controls.

u Hydraulic activation
In both cases, as well as what is described above, the ROTOR/BUCKET function mode needs to be
activated, as it automatically downgrades crane performance to the equivalent of 12%. This downgrade
is set by EFFER in order to limit the mechanical stresses on the crane, caused by working with the bucket.
This is done through a pre-established sequence of movements of the lever dedicated to the bucket
function (lever that originally operates the supplementary extension). The lever is to be pushed up twice
and pushed down once within 2 seconds. This sequence is denominated “bucket PIN”. When the sequence
has been completed, you will hear an acoustic indication to confirm that the bucket is enabled.

2’’
Biiiiip

Such enabling can be performed by radiocontrol too, and it is necessary to repeat the sequence at each
DMU3000 PLUS start.

6 - Additional instructions
The following additional instructions respect to the operator’s manual are useful to understand better
the operation of the crane.

6.1 Use of Radio remote type “SCANRECO”

Push button “1” of the push button control panel of the radio controller acts as the acoustic indicator
of the DMU3000 PLUS device and, simultaneously, as the RESET function.

6.2 Use of Radio remote type “HETRONIC-QUES”

On the transmitter, the push-button “3” serves like acoustic alarm for DMU3000 PLUS device and, at
the same time, like RESET function.

 DMU3000 PLUS operator’s manual

6.3 AUTOMATIC SLOW DOWN

We feel it is useful to expand further on crane
“automatic slowing down”.
This function automatically slows down the crane
movements if certain geometric configurations
are reached and if the load applied to the hook
creates a certain pressure inside the movement
cylinders. This pressure is relatively close to the
pressure value that starts to work the load lim-
iter.

Without doubt, working a crane that has “auto-

matic slowing down” is certainly easier to use for
the operator. When it starts to work, even moving
the crane with various movements at the same
time leads to a hook speed that does not corre-
spond to the mathematical sums of each move-
ment, but it has a maximum level set by EFFER, a
level we feel, after many years of research, is the
correct compromise between crane performance
and operational safety.

Working out data relative to “automatic slowing

down” is carried out by the DMU 3000 PLUS: the DMU electronic program is in constant contact with
the radio control thanks to the use of a CAN-BUS system, and this allows the operator to move the crane
within the determined maximum performance speed values.

CAUTION
The crane automatically increases speed when the conditions that set-off the “automatic slow-
ing down” cease.

19
THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE
 DMU3000 PLUS operator’s manual

6.3.1 AUTOMATIC SLOWING DOWN: geometric configuration of the crane

Now follows some working conditions for which maximum attention is required by the operator:
- when the boom of a crane is completely vertical, an increase of the hook
speed, caused by varying the hubs, is normal: the operator must intervene
progressively reducing the setting of the speed to avoid structural jolts caused
by having reached maximum vertical position or, even worst, violent interfer-
ences between the load and the crane structure.
- starting from maximum verticality and then carrying out a fast descent is
dangerous: the load may have large jolts compromising the stability or, even
worst, the fastening of the hook of the crane.
- needless to say that, even a fast crane rotation manoeuvre, carried out with
the whole structure extended vertically, will cause lateral disorientation of the
hook or, even worst, of the load, difficult to control.
- with the whole crane structure vertically extended, even the slightest move-
ment of the extensions is a manoeuvre which requires careful attention by
the operator, as at most times the hook is at a considerable distance from the
ground.

The DMU 3000 PLUS, in automatic, limits the maximum speed admitted according to the geometric
configuration of the crane, by distinguishing the ascent and descent movements, and also depend-
ing on the presence of an eventual supplementary joint.

u WORKING ONLY WITH THE BASIC CRANE:

The basic crane has a maximum operational speed until it reaches a vertical angle of the second boom
of about 50°.

- From 50° to the maximum verticality, there

are 4 progressive speed reduction STEPS, which 50°
correspond with the reaching of determined
vertical angles of the second boom. Operative
speed reduction intervenes for the following
movements:
- Boom ascent
- Boom descent
- Crane rotation
- Extension return ( only once the 4th step has
been reached)

Note On varying the various operative sections, the hydraulic distributor lever, automatically
and progressively / proportionally, changes position.
The speed of the crane point remains almost unchanged, as the slowing down compen-
sates the increase of speed that derives from the reduction of the geometric hubs.
As a result, the crane movement unquestionably results as being safer.

above described operational area, obtains a pro-
gressive reduction of the maximum operational
speed, as shown below:

Note ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
On varying the various operative sections, the hydraulic distributor lever, automatically

The speed of the crane point, remains almost uniform as the slowing down compensates
the increase of speed that derives from the reduction of the geometric hubs.
As a result, the crane movement unquestionably results as being safer.

Note The slowing down values, relative to working with the additional joint, are added to those
specific to the basic crane.

6.3.2 AUTOMATIC SLOWING DOWN: load applied to the hook

When a load is applied to the hook of a crane, pressure increases inside the hydraulic cylinders that
move the arms:
- the more the load has a weight close to the maximum lifting capacity of the crane, the more the pres-
sure value is close to the maximum pressure value admitted (value corresponds to the intervention of
the load limiter).

- the more the lifted load is moved away from the column, the more the pressure value nears the maxi-
mum admitted pressure value (value corresponds to the intervention of the load limiter).
Swinging the load, just like the crane movement speed, causes temporary increases in the pressure
value, that is, subjecting the crane structure to brief (but damaging) temporary increases of stresses,
also creating the conditions that trigger the load limiter.
In order to make the most of the crane structure, in terms of moving large loads, it is indispensable to
reduce this phenomenon to a minimum.
Therefore, the DMU 3000 PLUS has the task of reducing the operational speed when the crane perform-
ances almost reach the maximum admitted values.

Note The DMU 3000 PLUS, when in automatic, limits the maximum allowed speeds for both the
boom movements and crane rotation manoeuvring once certain crane load conditions
are reached. This automatism of the speed variation differs depending on whether an

On cranes that do not have the F.P.I. device, the progressive reduction of speed starts to reach the pres-
sure value equal to 90% of the maximum allowed pressure, and there are 7 progressive speed reduction
steps.
On cranes that have the F.P.I. device, the progressive reduction of speed starts to reach the pressure value
equal to 80% of the maximum allowed pressure, and there are 11 progressive speed reduction steps.

1st Note Reaching both 90% and 100% of the maximum allowed pressure value, sets-off acoustic
and visual indications.
2nd Note When the last speed step starts to function, the crane has a maximum possible speed of
approx. 20% of the maximum movement speed that is not subjected to slowing down.

Conclusion

From what is described in points 1 and 2, the crane, whilst working, has an automatic progressive
reduction of speed when the arms of the crane are positioned in a number of geometric configura-
tions, which are considered critical in order for the operator to control the crane. Another progressive
automatic reduction of the speed is obtained when, whilst working, the value of the pressure inside
the lifting cylinders reaches a determined value.
Please note that the slowing down of a higher value prevails over the slowing down of a lower va-
lue.
IF THE OPERATOR SETS A SPEED VALUE, GREATER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED BY THE DMU 3000 PLUS,
ON THE RADIO CONTROL MANIPULATOR, DEPENDING ON THE DATA DETECTED BY THE SYSTEM, this
will lead to progressive increase of the operational speeds, when:
- critical areas are left whilst working
- conditions are created that allow the pressure value inside the lifting cylinders to de-
crease.

CAUTION
In order to operate safely, it is indispensable to
visually check the speed of the hook.

Note The indications relative to the speed

variations are sent from the DMU to the
RADIO CONTROL through a CAN-BUS
communication. The latter controls/mo-
difies the lever position of the hydraulic
distributor, varying the oil quantity that
feeds the hydraulic cylinders. Varying the
distributor lever position varies the crane
operational speed.
Note When one or more crane boom move-
ments are carried out at the same time in
the same direction, the DMU 3000 PLUS,
automatically, elaborates the parame-
ters set by the operator to contain the
speed increase of the hook.
Otherwise, there would be an increase in
the hook speed, which reduces operatio-
nal safety.

6.4 “MAXIMUM Boom ELEVATION” control (inclination)

As a feature, recently designed cranes, have second boom and additional joint hydraulic movement that
allows you to exceed the horizontal alignment.

u Second boom inclination control

The second boom can incline like the first boom.

The movement of the second boom from a 30°
angle is signalled by 2 fast BEEPS; we remind you
that manoeuvres prevented by the intervention of 30°
the load limiter, vary according to the angle of the
second boom.
If the second inclined boom is used to carry out
maximum opening movement of the first boom,
Biip-Biip
the electronic system blocks the ascending move-
ment once the second boom reaches a verticality
of 85° (maximum verticality)

u Joint inclination control

The additional joint can incline like the second
boom. The movement of the boom joint when
beginning in-line with the second boom is sig- 0°
nalled by 1 BEEP, for both opening and closing
movements.
If the inclined additional joint is used to carry out Biip-Biip
the maximum vertical movement with the basic
crane arms, the electronic system blocks the as-

cending movements once the additional joint reaches the verticality of 50° (maximum allowed verticality
in configuration with the inclined joint).

Note The configuration of the basic crane when it is completely vertical is only possible if the
the additional joint is not in inclined configuration.

7 - Additional functions/optional
The DMU3000 PLUS device offers additional safety indications, as described in the following chap-
ters.

7.1 Work in front area, automatic decreasing of crane performances

When working with the crane in front area, the device automatically decreases crane performances to
guarantee truck stability, according to specific load chart.

B
A
00762147A

Passing from work area A to work area B, or viceversa, the DMU PLUS emits a BIP for two seconds.

7.2 Work stops with winch use

When using the winch, an acoustic alarm can be
heard, indicating that some operations condi-
tions have been reached.

u fast intermittent acoustic signal:

- when the maximum load admitted is detected
on the winch (100% of the load admitted). This FOTO
alarm stops all crane movements, with the excep-
tion of the lowering movement of the cable and
retracting movement of the extensions of the
base machine and supplementary articulation.
- when the cable lifting limit switch trips. This
alarm stops all crane movements with the
exception of the cable lowering movement and Bip-Bip-Bip
retracting movement of the extensions of the
base machine and supplementary articulation.
- when the cable lowering limit switch trips. This
alarm only stops the lowering movement of the
cable.

u Slow intermittent acoustic signal

This signal triggers when 90% of the maximum
load admitted on the winch is detected. This
alarm does not stop any crane movement.

7.3 Clogged filter indication

The crane is equipped with a device indicating

that filter cartridge applied on the piping that Biiip-Biiip-Biiip
sends the oil of the pump to the hydraulic system
of the crane, is clogged. If the filter cartridge is
clog, after 30 working minutes (considered as
“time of lever acting”), an acoustic alarm consi-
sting of repeated series of four Bip, sounds for Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip
two minutes. Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip
This acoust signal occurs is given each time the Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip
DMU3000 PLUS is turned on.

Note The alarm resets after replacing the filter cartridge, but only after 30 minutes of crane
work (considered as “time of lever acting”), with the filter cartridge not clogged.

Note Eventual alarms for crane operativity or for device anomalies have priority on this
function.

Note Time passed with alarm switched on is stored by DMU3000 PLUS, to prove an incorrect
crane use.

Note Note that the values shown in a percentage are purely indicative

The operational advantage of the CROSS STAB. (the outrigger on the left side of the crane is a revolv-
ing/swinging type) is that the lifting capacity in the front working area (area in front of the lorry cabin) is
undoubtedly greater compared to a traditional crane. The special stabilising system allows you to work
with the crane in the front working area using up to 90% of the maximum lifting pressure (information
refers to the 1355 crane model installed on a 4 axes lorry; the reference operative load diagrams are those
inserted in the operator manual SEE NOTE *) and lifting capacity reduction is very limited when compared
to the maximum lifting capacity of the crane.

An electronic device is PRESENT on

the CROSS-STAB outriggers that con-
stantly interacts with the DMU3000
PLUS, sending it all information rela-
tive to the positioning of the adjust-
able / revolving outriggers.

The crane in question is equipped

with the electronic “tipping-over-
prevention” device, both on the out-
riggers of the basic crane and on the
additional outriggers.

It should be made clear that a perfect lorry stabilizing manoeuvre does not start the “tipping-over-pre-
vention” device, which should still be considered as an extra safety device.

Note Remember that the intervention of the DMU 3000 PLUS load limiter in the front work

functioning is obtained:

l Crane slewing (note that if the load limiter has intervened after attempting to enter
a downgraded operational area, it is always possible to automatically carry out the
manoeuvre in reverse order. If the load limiter has intervened whilst working the crane
boom already within the downgraded working area, it is only possible to carry out the
slewing manoeuvre if the calibration threshold has been exceeded by a small percent-
age. If not, slewing is completely blocked).

WE WISH TO EMPHASISE THAT IT IS UP TO THE INSTALLERS TO CARRY OUT THE CHECKS RE-
QUESTED BY THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 96/37/EC (load and overloading test) BEFORE STARTING
TO WORK THE CRANE.

Note The lifting features shown on the load diagrams show that the crane outriggers (both
for basic and additional cranes) are completely spread out to the side and the lorry
pneumatics adhere only to the ground, this way providing a braking contribution
whilst working. Also, the lorry wheels are blocked with four wedges. All this conforms
to standards that regulate the use of oil-pressure cranes for lorries.

Residual risks

CAUTION
In the downgraded working area with the joint positioned beneath the horizontal, it is abso-
lutely forbidden to move loads using the return extension manoeuvres. Danger of the lorry
tipping over.

CAUTION
Side extension of the rear outrigger IS NOT MONITORED by the DMU3000PLUS system.
Therefore, it is solely the operators’ responsibility to correctly position it.

CAUTION
The intervention of the load limiter DOES NOT HINDER extension return manoeuvre. It is therefore
forbidden (especially if the crane is placed in a working area with limited performances due to
stability problems) to lift a load from the ground by activating the extension return manoeuvre.
This manoeuvre could lead to the lorry tipping over.

12 - Displaying data on the radio control display

When both the radio control and the DMU3000 PLUS are electrically activated, messages for the opera-
tor appear on the display present on the radio control transmitter:

Note that a correct interpretation of these messages leads to various operational advantages that
stem from knowing loading conditions the crane is subjected to.

Another advantage that comes from the display is being able to carry out a quick diagnostics when
there is an anomaly on the crane.

12.1 Normal functioning

During normal crane functioning, a screen appears on the display, as shown in the example below:

SIST OK

Note the pressure and percentage values are relative to the instant crane situation that
stems from the loading conditions. Therefore, these values are values that vary when
the loading conditions are varied.

Note if the crane is not equipped with an additional joint, below the P3 wording the values
are shown as zero;
If the crane is not equipped with an additional joint, but is working without the aid of
one, below the P3 wording, the values are shown as zero.

when there is a winch installed on the crane, otherwise nothing is shown. Whilst working, 90% appears
on the screen when the entity of the load applied to the winch cable reaches and exceeds 90% of the
maximum applicable load. 100% will appear when ascending cable automatic limit stop intervention
occurs, or when 100% of the maximum winch performance is reached.
If during the work the cable end-of-stroke in descent comes into operation, the indication FCI will appear

12.2 Anomaly messages

If there is an anomaly, the main screen is automatically displayed for 5 seconds and “SIST OK” is replaced
with “SIST FAULT”. Then for a further 5 seconds a screen will show a list of encountered anomalies.
A maximum of 4 anomalies fit on the screen. Therefore, if the number of anomalies is equal to or less than
4 the system only uses one screen to display them. If, however, there are more than 4, the anomalies are
organised into groups of 4 and each group is displayed for 5 seconds.
Each displayed anomaly is characterised by its own “error code”.

Note When an inconvenience occurs on the crane, it is very important to give the error code to
the EFFER after-sales assistance centre. Depending on the kind of anomaly, it is possible to
be given instructions on how to continue operating anyway, even with a few limitations on
performance.

4 - “SERVICE MOV” screen

These two screens allow you to realise the speed of crane movements whilst working, (independent or
operator desired speed), that corresponds to partial activation of the radio control manipulator, or by an
automatic slowing down of movement intervention. This automatic slowing down can intervene due to
the crane geometric position or due to a medium-high load situation.

The values that appear on the screen marked by the letter A, are relative to the boom descent movements
as well as the anticlockwise rotation movement: eight values, hypothesizing eight crane hydraulic func-
tions.
The values that appear on the screen marked by the letter B, are relative to the boom ascent movements
as well as the clockwise rotation movement: eight values, hypothesizing eight crane hydraulic functions.
The displayed values indicate the % of movement set at the distributor lever. These values vary between
0 and 100, this means that:
0 = 0% distributor lever has not been moved

100 = 100% distributor lever has been moved as far as possible

5 - “ SERVICE ANAGOL INPUT” screen

These values are useful for an EFFER sales assistance centre if the origin of an anomaly needs to be de-
termined. This data is not useful for the operator during normal use of the crane.
Example: of the 2 possible screens:

SERVICE SERVICE
ANALOG INPUT 3:0 ANALOG INPUT 7:4
AN3 AN2 AN1 AN0 AN7 AN6 AN5 AN4
1023 1023 1023 1023 1023 1023 1023 1023

6 - “ SERVICE DIGITAL INPUT” screen

It is possible for the operator to access the other three screens, therefore, he is able to examine a total of
39 values that can have the number 1 or 0.
These are values that are useful for an EFFER sales assistance centre if the origin of an anomaly needs to
be determined. This data is not useful for the operator during normal use of the crane.
Example: of the 3 possible screens:

9 - “ ANALOG INPUT 8 “ screen

If a “Torque Limiter” is installed on the crane this page is
not displayed as there would be no data to display.
SERVICE
When a winch (enlarged loading cell) is installed on the ANALOG INPUT 8
crane or a radio pin, indications relative to the winch 3210 (f)KG/ KG AN8
load limiter status appear on this screen. 0000 1611 1112 284

Below are the various interpretations to be made of the above shown screen, whilst working with the
winch:

Value ‘ 3210 ‘: value shown underneath the number 3 is “1” if the loading cell present on the crane is
registering a loading value that exceeds the maximum range allowed by the sensor itself,
otherwise the value is “0”.
Value shown underneath the number 2 is “1” if the loading cell in the crane is not regi-
stering any data, otherwise the value is “0”.
Value shown underneath the number 1 is “1” if the value of the load applied to the winch
cable has set off the pre-alarm, or rather the signal relative to 90% of maximum applicable
load, otherwise the value is “0”.
Value shown underneath the number 0 is “1” if the value of the load applied to the winch
cable has set off the alarm, or rather the signal relative to 100% of maximum applicable
load, otherwise the value is “0”.
Value ‘ ( f ) kg ‘ : this is the load on the winch, that is to say the kilograms read by the loading cell. This
value is filtered.
Value ‘ kg ‘ : this is the load on the winch, that is to say the kilograms read by the loading cell.

Value ‘ AN8 ‘ : if the crane has an enlarged loading cell, this value represents the A/D conversion of the
energized signal sent to the DMU by the loading cell. If the crane has a radio pin then this
value is equal to 1023 as nothing is connected to the analogical input.

13 - Maintenance
The electronic load limiter device does not require maintenance as careful design choices of compo-
nents is such that the device can also be used in adverse environmental conditions (temperature range
= -30°C + 70°C).
Functioning is guaranteed even if the lorry batteries have a voltage value that moves away from the
normal 20%
Obviously, checking the voltage present on the batteries is part of occasional checks carried out on the
lorry.
When cleaning with hydro cleaners it is advisable to avoid aiming the water jet at electrical components.
This recommendation is valid for all components present on the lorry as wel

CAUTION
Whenever it is necessary to carry out welding on the lorry, crane or even the lorry body, remove
the positive wire from the lorry batteries in order to disconnect the electrical power supply of the
device
