Security protection system |
||
| Boom buffer protection | Limit position and sudden handle, the system can automatically accelerate and decelerate | |
| Boom limit protection | Based on different positions of the outrigger support, the program automatically restricts the movement of the boom to allow working postures | |
| Boom rotation limit protection | When the boom turns to the position where the outrigger tends to unstable, the system will cut off the turning action in the dangerous direction | |
| Rotation buffer protection | The system can effectively realize buffering when the rotation stops suddenly | |
| Rotation alignment | When the rotation is close to the middle, Automatic speed reduction to ensure accurate center alignment | |
| Body anti-collision | To prevent the boom from colliding with the vehicle body, when the boom turns to a small angle of variation, it will automatically stop the dangerous direction of turning | |
| Interlock | The booms are not allowed to operate when the outriggers are not extended, the outriggers are not allowed to operate when the boom has extended | |
| Emergency function | Both the control valve and outrigger valve on the superstructure are equipped with emergency manual operation; the system is equipped with an emergency power unit which is applied in the condition of retracting the boom and outriggers in case of malfunction for the engine or pump | |
| Outrigger alarm | When the outriggers are in operation, an automatic audio and visual alarm is triggered to prevent accidental contact and ensure safety | |
| Outrigger unstable protection | When the boom is in motion if the outriggers are lifted off the ground, an automatic audio and visual alarm will be activated, and the boom will be only allowed to move within a safe direction | |
| Outrigger retracting position check | The legs are not retracted in the right position; the light will automatically alarm to prevent accidents | |
| Over-pressure protection | When the water monitor inlet pressure exceeds the safe value, an alarm is triggered, and the engine acceleration is restricted. In case of excess pressure in the water circuit, the safety valve overflows | |
