1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

The Anti-two-block model R140T is a device designed to alert the operator and
cut off motion controls of the crane upon an impending two-block situation. It is
designed to fit on telescopic cranes, boom trucks, derrick trucks and
conventional lattice cranes.

The device is manufactured in Canada and designed to withstand the worst

Canadian environment including low temperature and corrosive environment.
The R140T as been installed and, in operation, across the country for years.

It is a well thought system that will adapt easily to all crane types and requires
the least amount of installation time.

The unique all position switch is well appreciated by the customers.

The R140T comes standard for 12V or 24V negative body machines. If the
machine has a different type of electrical system, use either another type or an
adapting relay or follow different installation procedures as shown further.

2. INTRINSIC SAFETY:

The Wylie anti-two-block is considered fail safe because it works with a normally
open circuit. Closed when the switch weight is not lifted. The lock-out output is
also normally open when power is off or when no weight is pulling on the switch.

The red light and buzzer will go on if:

- Power is too weak

- The cable is broken
- Any wire is cut or making contact except power wire
- The switch is broken
- The switch is disconnected
- The weight chain is broken
- The weight is lifted
- The control relays are burned
3. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY:

The Wylie anti-two-block is designed to operate in any weather from scorching

heat up to 60° C to bitter cold as low as -50° C. It will withstand rain, snow and
hail.

The system will not be affected by any radio wave or will it produce any.

The system will not be affected by any magnetic field however strong it is.

The system will not be affected by any electrostatic or capacitive current field if
all parts, of both the system and the crane, and any part touching the crane, is
kept within reasonable distance from any power line except for the insulated
boom structure.

Insulated or partly insulated structures may represent a threat near power lines
as they can charge themselves. Partly insulated structures will require the use of
a double wire to the tip of the boom, the second wire being grounded. This
ground wire, although connected to the boom, must never be considered as a
proper grounding of the boom. It will on the other side void any insulation
certification by the crane manufacturer if such insulation was intended.

For specified insulated boom structures where the manufacturer certifies the
dielectric property of the boom, an air actived anti-two-block can be supplied and
certified to the same requirements R140T. (PATENT PENDING)

 Note:

When lock out system is installed, add a jumper between 8 and 6, use the N/ O
position for a strand on coil of valve and the other side of coil must be grounded
to the body of the machine.

5. OPERATING PROCEDURE: TO N/O (5) GROUND

The system is automatically engaged when power in the crane is turned on, or
when the PTO is engaged. The operator can then use the crane as usual.

If a pending two-block situation arrives, The red light and the buzzer will go on
continuously until the situation is corrected. If a lock-out as been installed,
motions are cut for telescoping out and hoisting up. If the hoist is separated
from the boom, then booming down will also be cut. To obtain control again, the
operator must either hoist down or telescope in.

7- TROUBLESHOOTING:

First of all, verify if all junction boxes are connected either to a switch or a
dummy. Then verify if proper control for machine E.G.: 12V neg. on body.
Remember, all switches must be pulled down to deactivate the red light and
buzzer. Also, power must be on.

- If red light is off when two-block

- No voltage entering control

- Burnt bulb
- Burnt fuse

- If weak red light

Check supply voltage and use adequate control either 12 or 24 volts.

- If continuously red

Check if all switches are connected properly and pulled down by weight. If
so, check continuity between black wire and body. If no continuity, check
continuity along wiring and body until the switch. If body of boom causes
the problem, use double wire on or cable to bring ground to the switch.

- If slow reappearance of red light

 Supply wires cannot bring sufficient current to the control.

- Lock- out stays on

Check if solenoid works by feeling it while activating the switch. If not,

check if voltage is present when red light is off. If so, coil may be burnt.

8- WYLIE/RAYCO MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. DAILY OPERATOR:

- Verify if cable of reeling drum is not jammed and if it is damaged.

- Verify if all connectors from switches and jib are well screwed in.

- Test two-block switch and watch for buzzer and red light.

- Test lock-out if present.

- If any malfunction, report immediately to maintenance personnel.

2. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE:

- Verify all connectors and insure that they are free of corrosion and filled
with non-conductive grease.

- Inspect all wires and cables for tear or cuts. Replace any defective wire.

- Test system completely to detect any possible malfunction or call a

Wylie/Rayco technician.

3. BIYEARLY:

- Through inspection of all circuits, wires, lock-out, connections and

mechanical parts.
