TS7000 TELECSOPIC CRANE OPERATORS MANUAL - VERSION VIII
Page 2
The purpose of this manual is to provide the customer with the operating
procedures essential for the promotion of proper machine operation for its
intended use. The importance of proper usage cannot be overstressed. All
information in this manual should be read and understood before any attempt is
made to operate the machine.
Since the manufacturer has no direct control over machine application and
operation, conformance with good safety practice in this area is the
responsibility of the user and his operating personnel.
All procedures are based on the use of the system under proper operating
conditions, with no deviations from the original design. Alteration and or
modification of the equipment is strictly forbidden without prior written approval
from Elec-Mech (Pty) Ltd.
The Safe-Aid TS7000 (rated capacity indicator (RCI) / Load Moment Indicator
(LMI)) is only to be regarded as an aid to the operator. When the parameters
are set correctly, the indicator will warn the crane operator of an approaching
overload condition or a condition that could cause damage to equipment,
property, and/or injury to the operator or the site workers in the vicinity of the
crane and its load.
This system under no circumstances must be used as a substitute for the good
judgement of a crane operator when carrying out approved crane-operating
procedures, therefore the responsibility for the safe operation of the crane lies
with the crane operator. The system will not necessarily prevent damage due to
overloading and related causes, if not set properly.
Before operating a crane equipped with a Safe-Aid TS7000 RCI the operator
must read the information in this manual carefully. Correct functioning of the
system depends upon routine daily inspection and any suspected faults or
apparent damage should be immediately reported to the responsible person
before using the crane.

SYSTEMUSE–FIGURE1
The TS7000 unit is designed with ease of operation in mind. The crane configuration is
selected and confirmed by the operator before the system goes into its operating/monitoring
screen requiring no further input from the operator unless the crane configuration is changed.
Before this is done the crane will remain in safe mode, i.e., the dump circuit (cut-off) will be
operational (if the crane has a dump system fitted). All inputs to the system are done by the
operator via the touch screen including the buzzer override function and momentary bypass.
The touch screen is sensitive to touch therefore it is not necessary to push hard on the
screen (if touch screen does not work or selects incorrectly see Touch Screen Calibration).

SYSTEMSTARTUP–FIGURE2&3
The TS7000 display (LMI) will automatically come on when the crane is powered up, the
buzzer will sound once then the system will run a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) to make
sure that all raw data is correct.
Once the system has completed the CRC the buzzer will sound again, and a set of internal
diagnostics (watchdogs) will be utilised to verify that all inputs and outputs are working
correctly.

TILTORLEVELSET‐UP–FIGURE4
This step will be skipped in the following conditions:
No tilt board is fitted
Tilt board is fitted but no tilt values have been entered
The following option is to determine whether the crane is level along the X & Y axis. Level
the machine using the dark black lines running along the axis lines. The machine will be level
once the lines are as close to the centre forming a cross. Press the Exit button to continue.

CRANECONFIGURATIONSELECTION
The system will now run through a series of selections to establish the current crane configuration.
These selections are setup by the crane manufacturer and correspond to the relevant load chart and
may not be displayed or in the same order as laid out in the manual.
Use the back button to start the complete selection from the beginning at any time.
Once the selection has been done the system will memorize the last selection and when powered up
again will show the program confirmation screen. See Program Confirmation.
Some manufacturers have telescoping monitoring conditions that may require the boom to be fully
retracted before changing the configuration, in this case a Retract Boom message will be displayed
when trying to change the configuration with the boom extended.
Laid out below are the most common selections available
COUNTERWEIGHT–FIGURE5
Select the counterweight that is currently in use.

OUTRIGGERBASE–FIGURE6
Select the configuration of the carrier that is currently in use.
Figure 6
TS7000 TELECSOPIC CRANE OPERATORS MANUAL - VERSION VIII Page 9
BOOMCONFIGURATION–FIGURE7
Each boom configuration can be selected by pushing on the configuration that is required.
Some manufacturers have telescoping monitoring conditions that may require the boom to
be fully retracted before changing configuration, in this case a Retract Boom message will
be displayed when trying to change the program with the boom extended.
The correct selection of the configuration is imperative as this determines the correct
rated capacities and work areas. If selected incorrectly, a higher rated capacity than
allowed could be selected for that crane configuration, this is very dangerous as it can
cause the boom to bend / break or the crane to tip / fall over.

FIFTHOUTRIGGER–FIGURE8
Truck mount cranes may be fitted with additional outriggers (front jack / rear jack or both)
which can be extended (down) or retracted (up). This influences the rated capacities when
working over the front or rear of the crane either by decreasing the capacities or giving a slew
error when the 5th outrigger is retracted (Figure 3). Simply key the option required - if the
5th outrigger is down then select extended if it is up select retracted.
