External RCL Light Tower (Optional)
The Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL) External Light Tower
(1, Figure 3-35) is located on the outside upper right corner
of the crane cab.
The RCL External Light Tower is an operational aid. The
external light tower works with the RCL system to warn the
operator and external personnel of an approaching overload
condition that could cause equipment damage, personal
injury, or death.
The lights in the light tower come on in the following manner:
• Green LED – when the green LED is on, the load being
lifted is less than 90% of crane RCL programmed
capacity.
• Yellow LED – when the yellow LED is on, the load being
lifted is between 90% to 100% of crane RCL
programmed capacity.
• Red LED – when the red LED is on, the load being lifted
is greater than 100% of crane RCL programed capacity.
