7.3.2 Intermediate load limits connections
One or two “normally closed” contact should be connected to the multi-functional inputs. The contacts 
can either be manual switches, or automatically actuated according to the position of the crane. 
The intermediate load function operates according to the following logic:

The hoist-monitoring unit will prevent the hoisting motion when the measured load exceeds 110% 
of the intermediate load for a period of time. The overload protection is reset when the measured 
load decreases to 80% of the intermediate load.

7.4 Run time and start counter for trolley and bridge
In addition to the hoist run-time and starts counter, the hoist-monitoring unit can be programmed to count 
the total run-time and starts of either the trolley and/or bridge travel motion. When this option is activated, 
a complete overview of the usage of the crane is recorded.
