27 6. ATTACH THE CHAIN AND WEIGHT ASSEMBLY TO THE SWITCH SWING ARM. ANTI TWO BLOCK SWITCH (jib) The mounting method used depends on the model number of the Jib Anti Two Block switch. Remove the two 1/4-20 truss head screws from the switch cover; set cover aside. If the pivoting switch arm is cast with the number use method 1 above. If the arm is cast with the number 11826, use method 2 above. Note: The arm will also have a G.L.G. cast into it. In some cases, the Anti Two Block switch will have to be mounted behind the jib sheave. The Jib switch is connected to the main Anti Two Block switch with a cable. 1. CONNECT THE JIB CABLE TO THE JIB SWITCH, AND LACE THE CABLE INSIDE THE JIB WHERE IT CANNOT BE PINCHED OR DAMAGED. 2. SECURE CABLE EVERY 3 TO 4 FEET. A SMALL LOOP, WHICH CAN BE COILED UP WHEN NOT IN USE, WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONNECT THE CABLE TO THE MAIN SWITCH. 27

28 ANTI TWO-BLOCK SWITCH (rooster/auxiliary) The rooster/auxiliary Anti Two-Block switch is installed the same way as the jib switch but in most cases the cable from the switch will be long enough to connect straight to the main Anti Two-Block switch. Clamp the cable to the boom head to prevent damage. MOTION CUT SINGLE SIGNAL Refer to Drawing #11815 & #11816 (pages 29 & 30). The single orange wire (if installed on the Load Indicator), controls the motion cut signal. When not in alarm mode, the meter allows this wire to carry the positive voltage of your crane which is 12 or 24 volts DC. When an alarm occurs, the positive voltage is shut off. 1. CONNECT THE ORANGE WIRE TO ALL CUTOUT MECHANISMS; TIE THE OTHER TERMINAL OF ANY CUTOUT MECHANISM TO THE CRANE "GROUND." The motion cut valves on a hydraulic crane must be the type that open when their solenoids are energized. 2. INSTALLTHE MOTION CUT VALVES ON THE HYDRAULIC LINES FEEDING MAIN AND WHIP HOIST UP, BOOM DOWN, AND TELESCOPE OUT. 28
