CN 2 connector
Signal names and functions
Pin No. Name
Signal name: Automatic stop relay output
This relay contact turns OFF and stops crane operation when the crane is
overloaded, the hook is overwound or the AML main unit is out of order.
When the boom elevation stops, the slow stop function activates
simultaneously. (The current controlled by the AML is output from the boom
raising proportional valve output CNTL3P or the boom lowering proportional
valve input CNTL4P to activate the slow stop function.)
However, the slow stop function is not activated when the elevation slow
stop/override switch is set to “OVERRIDE”.
Relay ON (DC24V): Normal operation is available.
Relay OFF (DC0V): The crane operation is stopped.
When the AML emergency switch is set to “Emergency” and the PTO switch is
1 RLY 1 set to “OVERRIDE”, this relay output is shifted from OFF to ON and the AML
automatic stop function is cancelled. The overwind cutout function is also
cancelled by the diode circuit.

The crane operation toward the critical side (main winch
hoist-up, auxiliary winch hoist-up, boom extension, boom

(*1): Only for machines with power-tilt jib
While the boom lift with the jib mounted is performed, the
relay output turns OFF when the moment ratio becomes as
follows:
Moment ratio 90 %
While the jib set pin is out of the inserted condition, the AML
assumes that the jib is mounted.
When the hook block is overwound:
OFF
The crane operation toward the critical side (main winch
hoist-up, auxiliary winch hoist-up, boom extension, boom
(*1)

(*1): Only for machines with power-tilt jib
When the overwind cutout disable switch is pressed in this
state, the relay output is shifted from OFF to ON and the
overwind cutout function is cancelled.
The crane operations except boom swing exceed the limit
while the working range limit is registered.
Crane operations beyond the limit are stopped.
1 RLY 1 Failure in the AML unit.
All the crane operations except the boom swing are stopped.
Relay output Other control functions
When the moment is abnormal
When the actual load value calculated in the AML becomes
negative, the crane operation toward the critical side (main
winch hoist-up, auxiliary winch hoist-up, boom extension,
(*1)
boom lowering or jib tilt lowering ) is stopped. However, the
operation does not stop while the boom is being stowed to the
traveling configuration.
When all the following conditions are satisfied, the AML
assumes that the boom is in process of the stowage to the
traveling configuration.
(*2)
(1) Boom angle is 2°or less.

Relay output Other control functions
When the HOOK-IN operation is performed:
When the following conditions are satisfied, this relay output
turns OFF and the HOOK-IN control relay output RLY8 turns
ON.
(1) PTO switch is ON (I).
(2) Boom lift or single top lift status is registered in the AML.
(*1)
(3) Boom is fully retracted.
(4) Boom angle is 2°or less.
(5) Overwind cutout disable switch is pressed.

(*1): When the 2nd/3rd boom section full retraction detector


switch contact is closed, the AML assumes that the
boom is fully retracted.
When the boom reaches its elevation stroke end:
When the boom is out of the boom angle range (–1.7° to
81.9°) where the pressure of the elevation cylinder on the
extension and retraction side can be detected normally, the
boom elevation stops. However, the operation does not stop
while the boom is being stowed to the traveling configuration.
When all the following conditions are satisfied, the AML
assumes that the boom is in process of the stowage to the
1 RLY 1 traveling configuration.
OFF
(1) Boom angle is –1.7°or less.
(2) Boom length is 5.4 m or less.
(3) The swing position is within 10° in over-front area.
If the pressure on the extension and retraction sides of the
elevation cylinder cannot be normally detected and the
moment ratio becomes 100% or more while the boom angle is
between 81.9° and 83°, the automatic stop halting (boom
lowering operation) due to overloading is cancelled.
Jib fall prevention while the jib is being mounted or stowed
When all the following conditions are satisfied, the boom
extension stops.
Jib (jib lock pin) is stowed; jib set pin is out of inserted
condition; the boom angle is 75° or less.
Upper boom angle restriction while the jib is being mounted or
stowed
The boom angle becomes 78° while the jib is mounted or
stowed, the boom raising operation stops.
(*1)
When the jib tension rod buckling prevention activates
While the jib set pin is inserted into the boom bottom surface,
i.e. the jib is stowed, the jib tilt cylinder is not retracted even if
jib tilt lowering is attempted.

WARNING
If the jib mounted/dismounted state is set

accurately. The crane operation in this condition
could create hazard.

The jib can be dismounted from the crane body


when it is not used. The reduced mass of the
crane body after jib removal will influence
accuracy of the AML. Use this switch to set the jib
mounted /dismounted state to the AML.

Also, when the error code or driving history is
recorded in AML, an accurate date and time cannot
be recorded.
Two built-in clock batteries are on CPU board of the
AML main unit.
Replace both 2 pieces when you replace the
battery.

The built-in clock battery longevity is usually about


10 years.
If the built-in clock batteries are worn out, replace
them according to the following procedures.
4. Install the CPU board in the AML main unit.
1. Remove the CPU board from the AML main unit.
5. Reconnect the connector to the board.
2. Remove the battery from the battery holder on
CPU board by pressing the battery diagonally.

[NOTICE]
When removing the battery, remove while holding
the battery upper (positive side) because the battery
may pop up.
