DEFINITIONS
GENERAL
Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI) is a system of devices

which automatically provides an audible/visual signal when
the actual load approaches, reaches and/or exceeds the
rated capacity value when applied to crane.
The purpose of this publication is to provide qualified

operators with operating instructions for the Manitowoc RCL.
The system is designed to aid the operator in identifying
overload conditions, which can cause structural failure of the
boom and jib or loss of stability (tipping).
Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL) is a system of devices

which automatically provides an audible/visual signal when
the loading conditions approaches, reaches and/or
exceeds the rated capacity value when applied to crane.
When the actual load exceeds the rated capacity, the system
supplies a signal to disable system.
NOTE:
In this publication the Rated Capacity Indicator and

Limiter information is combined, with the initials
RCL representing both systems.
The limiter is turned on/off in RCI Fault Response Data Box

on Configuration Screen. Fault response options are not
allowed in some countries. In most of Europe it is illegal to
disable the RCL alarms and limiter shut down. The fault
responses can not be turned off if the crane has been
programmed for use in these countries.
If the RCL crane function lockout is enabled, the controller
disables the following crane functions until the overload
condition is corrected:
Hoist up.
Boom down (or up if boom is raised above its

maximum chart angle).
Luffing jib down (or up if jib is raised above its

maximum chart angle).
WARNING
Overload Hazard!
The RCL has been installed on crane to aid operator.
Presence of RCL on crane in no way substitutes for, or
lessens, requirement that operator knowledge,
experience, and judgment are required to ensure safe
operation of crane.
If RCL is not configured correctly, it will not properly sense
load and alert operator to overload conditions. Before
u s in g R C L , o p e r a t o r sh a ll r e a d a n d u n d e r s ta n d
instructions in this publication.
F2108-2
The RCL GUI (Graphic User Interface) screen is mounted on

the front console in the operators cab. The graphic icons are
designed to be universal for all languages. English or metric
values are determined by the program number, typically
English for domestic (USA) and metric for foreign countries.
The RCL monitors signals from the load and angle sensors.
These signals determine the loads suspended from the
crane and the distance (radius) of each load from the
centerline of rotation. The load and radius information for
each drum is compared to the selected capacity charts and a
total rated capacity of the crane is calculated.
A rotating amber light and continuous tone horn are mounted
on the outside of the operators cab to alert job site personnel
to an overload or tipping condition.

Angle Sensor Calibration Procedure
11. Press Exit button to return to level 1.
12. Record values shown in slope and intercept data boxes.

Do not alter the value in this data box unless
restoring a lost calibration.
The boom angle sensor calibrations can be performed in any

order. It is not always necessary to do both low and high
calibrations. For example, if the low calibration is known to
be accurate only the high calibration should be performed.
Measure angle with an accurate angle indicator on the
centerline of the boom butt or by measured radius. If using
radius to calibrate luffing jib angle sensor, boom angle must
be calibrated first.
Operating status of the selected load link sensor is displayed
with icons on right side of screen:
Selected angle sensor is operating normal if

icon arrow is pointing to center of load bar.
Selected angle sensor is out of limits and has

failed low if the icon arrow is pointing to minus
end of load bar. The sensor must be replaced.
Selected angle sensor is out of limits and has

failed high if the icon arrow is pointing to plus
end of load bar. The sensor or wiring is faulty.
Calibrate Boom or Luffing Jib
Values shown in slope and intercept data boxes are the

systems internal calibration constants for selected
sensor. If the system loses calibration these values can
be manually restored in the slope and intercept data
boxes.
To restore slope and intercept calibration constants
perform the following:
a.
In level 1, use Select buttons to highlight slope or

intercept data box.
b.
Press Enter button to go to level 2.

LOAD LINK INSTALLATION
8.
Check the part number on the load link to be installed and

follow the procedure for that specific load link.
Replacing Batteries in Link (PN A15345)
A wireless load link is installed at the weight ball and a hard

wired load link is normally installed at the boom top or jib top.
NOTE:
If a wireless load link is attached to boom/jib top

dead end, the antenna (opposite side of covers)
must be facing toward crane.
Wireless Load Link - PN A15345

See Figure 11 for items in this procedure.
Replace power switch cover when link is operating

correctly.

Load links transmit counts to the receiver on boom. The
receiver sends load information to boom node controller and
master node controller.
When the low battery threshold of a link is reached, a
message is displayed to indicate that link battery pack must
be replaced soon.
To replace batteries:
The power is turned off when a new wireless load link is

shipped from the factory. To turn load link power on, proceed
as follows:
1.
Lower load line to ground to access link.
2.
