TMS9000-2 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
Published 02-21-2019, Control # 611-05
• In the reset telescoping screen, as shown in
Figure 4-151, the operator can indicate the current
boom configuration (“actual tele picture”). It is seen that
there are 5 available boxes (for the 5 telescoping boom
sections). Each of these spin boxes can be used to
change to one of the following:
- 0%
- 50%
- 92%
- 100%
- Unlock icon (appears when the 0% value is shown
and then the jog dial or operating display arrow
button is used to get a value below 0%).
• Each of the spin boxes needs to be set to a value or
indication of the current actual configuration of the
boom. If a boom section is locked at a 50% location,
then that boom section spin box is to be set to the 50%.
If a boom section is unlocked (and able to be operated
by the telescoping cylinder), then that boom section spin
box is to be set to the Unlock icon).
• When each of the spin boxes is set to the correct value
or indication, then an Enter button can be used on the
OK in the screen. If the control system confirms this
boom configuration, then a check-mark appears below
the OK. Otherwise, the question mark shown under the
OK (as in Figure 4-151) will remain; in this case, the
operator should exit the screen and repeat an attempt to
enter the actual boom configuration.
Semi-auto Mode vs. Manual Mode
The pinned boom can also be controlled with a Manual
Mode. Although the Manual Mode allows some additional
capabilities, the Manual Mode still requires some automated
motions. The Manual Mode screen includes the same
schematic graphical representation of the boom, and it uses
the same dots indication for automated motions (as shown in
Figure 4-138), as well as the telescoping direction arrows for
operator control (as shown in Figure 4-139).
The following outlines differences between the Semi-auto
Mode and the Manual Mode:
• The Manual Mode screen does not show the final boom
configuration values (“target tele picture” or “actual tele
picture”). In Manual Mode, the operator requests lock
and unlock procedures and telescopes boom sections to
desired pinning locations without an initial indication of
the final destination. However, the control system
internally still creates such a final boom configuration for
the instance where the operator changes to the Semi-
auto Mode after using the Manual Mode. The control
system sets the final destination for all boom sections
not yet moved to 100%. Thus, when changing from
Semi-auto Mode (where the operator may have entered
50-50-50-0-0) to Manual Mode (where only boom
sections T2 and T3 were operated), and then changing
back to Semi-Auto Mode, the Semi-auto screen can
show 100-50-50-0-0 (thus the control system
automatically changed the destination of T1 from 50% to
100%). This is expected behavior. The operator can use
the Semi-auto screen to change the 100% back to 50%,
and in some cases, the boom can continue to be
operated (but in other cases, the boom may have to be
fully retracted first).
• The Manual Mode shows an expanded view of the
telescoping cylinder pinning mechanism with the same
unlock icons and a lock icon, as seen in Figure 4-152
(instead of the requested final boom configuration
values for the Semi-auto Mode). When one of the unlock
or lock icons becomes available to be selected (changes
from the basic gray color to the focus color), then the
operator can request the unlock command or the lock
command. The top unlock icon is for the boom section
unlocking, and at the proper time the lock icon would be
used to again lock the boom section (the lock icon will
become available as a command when the control
system allows it). The bottom unlock icon is for the
