Key Features
- Multi tone programmable electronic alarm (LVMT4-115-SBOX) (110 VAC)
The Crane Sentry® External Alarm Package is an add-on or integrated component of a comprehensive crane safety and collision detection system, primarily from Laser-View Technologies (who manufacture the Crane Sentry line). Its main purpose is to provide highly visible and/or audible warnings to personnel on the ground or in the vicinity of the crane, supplementing the alarms given to the crane operator within the cab.
Here's a description of what it typically entails:
Description:
An external alarm package extends the warning capabilities of the Crane Sentry system beyond the operator's cab. While the operator receives visual and audible cues inside, an external package ensures that other workers, supervisors, or even other crane operators in shared areas are also alerted to potential hazards. This is crucial in busy industrial environments where multiple cranes might operate in proximity, or where personnel are working near crane paths or heavy lifts.
These packages often consist of robust, industrial-grade components designed to withstand harsh outdoor or factory conditions.
Components and Features often included:
- Strobe Lights/Beacons: High-intensity flashing lights, typically red or amber, that provide a clear visual warning over a wide area. These are particularly effective in noisy environments where audible alarms might be difficult to hear.
- Audible Sirens/Horns: Loud, piercing alarms or horns that can cut through industrial noise to alert workers. These can be configured for different tones or patterns to signify different types of warnings (e.g., pre-alarm vs. critical alarm).
-
Combination Units: Many external alarm units combine both visual strobes and audible sirens into a single device for maximum impact.
-
Programmable Outputs: The Crane Sentry main controller (which uses laser distance sensors for collision avoidance, zone control, or positioning) has programmable relay outputs. These outputs are used to trigger the external alarm package when specific conditions are met (e.g., crane entering a restricted zone, approaching another crane, reaching a pre-set distance from an end-stop).
-
Rugged Enclosures: The components of the external alarm package are housed in durable, weather-resistant (e.g., IP65/IP66 rated) enclosures to protect them from dust, water, and impact in industrial settings.
- Flexible Mounting Options: Designed for easy installation on crane structures, columns, walls, or other strategic locations to maximize visibility and audibility.
-
Wireless I/O Modules (Optional): For complex installations or where running wires is difficult, wireless input/output modules can be used to transmit the alarm signals from the Crane Sentry controller to the external alarm devices.
How it Works:
-
Detection by Crane Sentry: The core Crane Sentry system (using laser distance sensors) continuously monitors the crane's position, distance to other objects (cranes, walls, machinery), or its entry into defined "no-fly" or "warning" zones.
- Threshold Activation: When the crane's movement or position approaches a pre-set danger threshold (e.g., within X meters of a wall, or Y meters of another crane, or entering a pre-defined restricted area), the Crane Sentry controller activates its programmed relay outputs.
- External Alarm Trigger: These relay outputs are wired to the external alarm package. When activated, they energize the strobe lights and/or sound the sirens.
-
Awareness for Personnel: The visual and audible alerts from the external package immediately draw the attention of anyone in the vicinity, warning them of the potential hazard and allowing them to take appropriate evasive action.
- Integration with Safety Protocols: The external alarms work in conjunction with the crane's internal safety systems and often complement any automatic slowdown or stop functions that the Crane Sentry system might trigger on the crane itself.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Site Safety: Provides a critical layer of safety by alerting all relevant personnel, not just the crane operator, to potential dangers.
- Accident Prevention: Reduces the risk of collisions, entrapments, and other accidents involving cranes and ground personnel or other equipment.
- Improved Communication: Offers a clear and unmistakable signal in noisy environments, improving communication of hazardous conditions.
- Compliance: Helps facilities comply with safety regulations and best practices for crane operation.
- Reduced Damage and Downtime: By preventing incidents, it helps avoid costly damage to equipment, infrastructure, and products, thereby minimizing operational downtime.
