Shunt code for Topsite shunt when activated is 8528
This code can be any code you choose, in an attempt to standardize the shunt code please make it 8528 at the time of setup.
Currently the shunt code for the MDT389 SN: 627012 is 1025

Popping from tower head area MDT389
There are 4 pins that connect the tower head to the turntable. Near these pins there are 4 bolts that apply torsional pressure against the pins. The Operator Manual says to tighten the bolts then back them off 1/4 turn and set the jam nut. Blake Smith from Potain recommends these bolt be tightened and not backed off. Throughout operation of the crane occasionally re-tighten these bolts. The pin connections will pop as has they “seat in” during operation and will eventually quiet. This is a common issue with new 389 cranes.

Potain IGO T85 Hydraulic Motor not working
Was trying to tower up and let Jib retaining rope out. Toggle on my remote was to the right on mast. Hydraulic motor would not come on and wasn’t able to let out the Jib retaining rope. Breaker Q940M was not tripped. Looked at my Erection aid and where S916S & S918S was just —- Which it should have been reading S916S. Switches were good, checked B911N (Inductive control detector of retaining winch) will also put —- if it’s not reading correctly. Had 48V at G27. K916A was not Acted on. Had 48V at K916A. Wiggled contactor and orange plunger on K916A was Acted on. Erection Aid was reading S916S. Hydraulic motor and Jib retaining rope started working. Need to probably replace K916A
Hoist motor operates slow MDT 389 (Degraded Mode)
Operator gave hoist up command, Brake release felt sudden and hard, Followed by a very slow hoisting up or down. Some cases the crane would kick the operator out shortly after the hoist function was given. When the crane faulted E.65 was displayed on the KEB hoist drive.
New Encoder was ordered
Hoist drive was placed in to Degraded Mode 
Replaced hoist Encoder, 
Took hoist drive out of degraded mode and normal operation resumed.
Reeving Impossible / Assistance Mode on Processor display
Processor shows the following
Remote shows the following
Crane may think it is in “High Height” (H3) and 4 parts of line are selected (DM). In H3 (High Height) crane must be operated in 2 parts of line (SM), not enough line on hoist drum.
Make sure S917S is adjusted properly. It is the limit box on the end of the jib retaining motor.
If the switch is adjusted properly, and not activated (Normally Closed NC), check Fault Stack (3-4-1)
Most recent fault is that the CanOpen Module is not detected. Verify by checking Can Module Inputs on processor (3-9-1)
Check for RUN light on Can Module (U213X)
If the RUN light is not on check T131F (the +24VDC transformer) for power. If the DC OK light is not on, the transformer is not working.
Check Circuit Breaker Q133F to make sure transformer is being supplied 480 VAC. If breaker is tripped and cannot be reset, replace transformer.
If RUN light on, but flashing, it is not communicating with the processor. It will still show U213X as not detected. Disconnect H4, H5, H6 connectors on Can Hub (U237X)
These are the communication cables for the labeled drives and operate on the same CAN2 network. If the H3 disappears (may need to restart crane), plug each cable back in to determine which one (or more) may be the problem. The cable(s) may not be the only problem. It quit possibly could be the drive(s) as well.

Reset Maintenance Light – Wacker Nueson
Press and hold the X button for 10 – 15 seconds. Warning light will disappear and interval will reset.
AMCS on Igo T85A will not trolley
The AMCS system did not record inner and outer limits for the trolley sensor.
Go to the sensor screen, and click on the “Gear” icon next to the trolley sensor
The top line of the should show the current position of the trolley.
Although you can set position 1 or 2 first, start with position 2 (the outer limit), so you can trolley back in and set the inner limit (position 1). Once you position the trolley at the outer limit, verify the distance and sensor value and click the checkmark box. Repeat for position 1 at the inner trolley limit
