HERNIS' well proven Crane TV system meets the requirements of Crane operators
worldwide. The Crane TV system is certified to be installed in hazardous areas
and is primarily used on offshore cranes, supplied with up to 3 cameras
providing clear view of the cargo, the wire drum and pedestal enhancing hoisting
operations.
Whereas building structures, objects, distances and light conditions used to
represent big challenges for the crane operator, the Crane TV makes even the
most challenging tasks feasible. With a crane camera installed to overlook the
topside of the load and crane hook assembly, valuable information is relayed to
the crane operator via his monitor. Offered a clear view of the load on the
monitor the traditional difficulties of manoeuvring the load safely and
efficiently have been reduced significantly.
The optional Automatic Object Tracking feature automatically zooms in on the
predefined object, tracking the payload during hoisting or lowering, keeping the
object a constant size on the screen. This is practical for checking clearances,
correct wire spooling etc. The interface unit uses an analogue feedback signal
from the wire drum. The HERNIS Crane Camera overlooking the crane hook assembly
is suspended from the crane structure via an integrated oil damper. The design
keeps the camera in a stable vertical position even when the crane boom is
tilted. The oil damper absorbs shocks and vibration protecting the camera and
ensuring stable pictures.
Depending on the model, the HERNIS Crane TV system includes either a joystick or
a push-button based control. All camera functions such as iris, zoom, focus and
camera selections can be operated with the joystick. The joystick can be removed
from the control box and installed into other panels if required.
A compact central unit links the system together as well as providing room for
the electronics and the power supply for the camera station.
Model CT 10 Ex Basic has one remote controlled camera input with a
pushbutton-based operation panel to control zoom, focus and iris. One fixed
camera station or Picture in Picture (PIP) functionality is available as option.
Model CT 30 Ex Advanced has two remote controlled camera inputs with a
joystick-based operation control. The system offers onscreen menus for easy
configuration and adjustment of parameters. Auto Object Tracking and One
controllable/fixed camera station or Picture in Picture (PIP) Unit are available
as options.
HERNIS products’ long life cycle and low maintenance contributes to a minimal
environmental impact so vital in today’s global awareness.
