Setting the LIS-SV

This section supplements the “LIS-SV” product manual. The parameters described here are only available if the LIS-SV is used in an ABULiner control unit.

Overview of the 'ABULiner' parameter level

The following parameters can be set in the 'ABULiner' parameter level of the LIS-SV.

Danger during setting work!

During setting work on the LIS-SV, monitoring of the wire rope hoist is switched off. This means the wire rope hoist cannot be monitored for excess load, among other things.  This means the wire rope hoist cannot be monitored for excess load, among other things.

This in turn means the load could fall and kill or injure people!

Do not use the crane for normal work during setting work, and only lift loads very carefully for test purposes!

Accessing the 'ABULiner' parameter level

All LIS-SV parameters which are important for the ABULiner are combined in a separate parameter level, which is shown as a submenu.

p3dv5 addons

*    Move the load hook out of the limit switch range (up or down).

During parameter setting, the load hook must not be within the limit switch range.

*    Open the menu of the LIS-SV. See the documentation “Load indicator system LIS-SV”.

Activating/deactivating the LIS-SV for the ABULiner

The LIS-SV is automatically activated for the ABULiner if a value is entered for the parameter 5.11.

In the ABULiner mode (a value is set for parameter 5.11):

─     The LIS-SV can monitor the total load for a maximum of two wire rope hoists.

─     Input F3 (normally used for measuring the load of wire rope hoist 3) now serves in monitoring the current rotational frequency of the hoist motor.

─     A value can be entered for parameter 3.0 (maximum load capacity of wire rope hoist 3). If a value is entered for this, parameter 5.11 cannot be set.

─     This interlocking thus excludes an incorrect setting.

─     The load-controlled switching point at output TxD of the LIS-SV cannot be used.

─     Parameter 4.5 (setting for load-controlled switching point) is not available.

In the normal mode (no value is set for parameter 5.11):

─     Operation of the ABULiner Lifting/Lowering unit is not possible.

─     The LIS-SV can monitor the total load for up to three wire rope hoists.

─     Input F3 serves in measuring the load of a third wire rope hoist.

─     A value can be entered for parameter 5.11 (gear ratio). If a value is entered for this, parameter 3.0 cannot be set.

─     This interlocking thus excludes an incorrect setting.

─     The load-controlled switching point at output TxD of the LIS-SV can be used.

─     Parameter 4.5 (setting for load-controlled switching point) can be used.

Setting the gear ratio

The LIS-SV uses the signal of the encoder and the gear ratio of the hoisting gear to calculate the hook travel distance, the maximum distance in the limit switch range and the current rotational frequency of the hoist motor. The gear ratio must be set on the machine.

Only for auxiliary fans

Setting the run-on time of the auxiliary fan

The auxiliary fan of the hoist motor continues to run for several minutes after the lifting or lowering. This ensures that the hoist motor is adequately cooled even at slow lifting speeds. The run-on time can be adjusted.
