When attempting to swing crane shutters but does not move

Crane will not swing at start up, but will kick out of weathervane.  Manually lift swing brake and attempt swing again, and crane will swing normally, however will not brake normally.

Look for +20VDC at V100F, and verified.  Look for +20VDC at K600M #7 and verified.  Found no voltage at K600M #8.  Although contactor was energized, contacts were not closed.  Replace K600M.

**Note** this was specifically on a Hup 32-27 which only has 1 swing motor.  Condition may be different with 2 swing motors on Hup 40-30

Top Zone WON’T Activate.

While Programming the CCS for Top Zone on Submenu (66) the crane will not accept the 10 digit Activation code. And will not change from (Zone not activated) to (Zone activated). The crane doesn’t know its serial number.  You need to go to Submenu (60 Mounting then to Serial) then put in the serial number.  Once you put the serial number in you need to go back to the Top Zone programming in the CCS and follow the steps in reprogramming the Top Zone.
