PAT DS 160 Load Moment Indicator Service Manual (9666104091)

The DS 160 is the load moment indicator on Grove cranes. It watches boom length, angle and load, warns the operator as the crane nears its rated limits, and locks out functions when it has to. When it throws an error code, loses its display or reads wrong, a technician needs the repair and test procedures in front of them. That's when this manual gets opened.

What this manual helps you do

• Diagnose fault conditions using the error codes section and the general troubleshooting information.
• Troubleshoot a dead screen, a function lockout or an anti-two block problem step by step.
• Check length, angle and load readings when they drift or look wrong.
• Trace data transfer problems between the central unit and the console.
• Follow the DS50C to DS160 upgrade installation and the moisture troubleshooting procedures.

Who this is for

A crane service technician or rental fleet mechanic who is fixing LMI faults in-house. Also useful for independent repair shops and dealer technicians who work on Grove machines and need sensor theory and drawings beside the procedures.

Q: How does it fit the job I'm doing?
