1. EKS 5 Adjustment Instructions
General Note
All of the drive units of the crane must be functioning. The hydraulics, ECOS and RCI control systems are
pre-adjusted with standard values.
Connecting the change-over box
Switch off ignition
Unscrew protective cover on the right at the bottom of the crane operators cab.
Connect change-over box (part No. 03056586) to the 15-pin (EKS/RCI) diagnostic plug connection in
the crane operators cab.
Fig. GROVE change-over box in crane operators cab
Attention! Pay attention to the description of the diagnostic plugs in older cranes!
As the RCI is not functioning during the adjusting process, particular care is required when
operating the crane. Pay particular attention to the hoist limit switch and outrigger and ensure that
the counterweight is sufficient.

Make pressure sensor lower chamber pressureless via the bleeder screw of the safety lowering valve.
Fig. bleeder screw; Example: GMK3055 safety lowering valve on the derricking cylinder
Adjustment: Teach starting value with , .
Read physical value on Info Display must be less than 1.5 bar
Note:
If the value exceeds 1.5 bar, then unscrew the sensor and tighten again with a torque wrench or if the
value stays the same (over 1.5 bar) replace sensor.
Check: end value for pressure sensor lower chamber
Check address 204 value 350 (bar) (see table on next page)
The end values are not taught but are preset
Read starting value for address 200 and 201 e.g. 1024 + 4096 (stroke) = 5120 (end value for address
202 or 203)

6. Process for Adjusting the Pressure Sensor Upper Chamber
Please comply with the sequence!
Lower boom onto the boom support
Make pressure sensor upper chamber pressureless via the bleeder screws of the cylinder.
Fig. Cylinder bleeder screw for pressure sensor upper chamber
Adjustment: starting value for pressure sensor upper chamber (concerns cranes with pressure
sensor upper chamber)
Teach starting value with , .
Read physical value on Info display must be less than 1.5 bar
Note: If the value exceeds 1.5 bar, then unscrew the sensor and tighten again with a torque wrench, or if
the value stays the same (over 1.5 bar) replace sensor.
Attention: No pressure sensor upper chamber exists for the GMK 3055 crane!
Adjustment: end value for pressure sensor upper chamber (concerns cranes with pressure sensor
upper chamber)
Check address 214 value 350 (bar)
The end values are not taught, but are preset
Read starting value for address 210 e.g. 1024 + 4096 (stroke) = 5120 (end value for address 212)
General Note
When changing the new pressure sensors with a screw cap and in the case of new cranes, the pressure
sensors must be configured with EasyCAN.
If the pressure sensors are detected by EasyCAN, they must also be configured.
See also EKS adjustment list Address 206, 207 and 216 Status must be on 2.

Adjustment: end value for the slewing angle sensor
Check address 272 value 180 () see table on next page (stroke)
Teach end value with , .
Info display:
Note:
* In the case of ATTO-CANOpen sensors, the sensor must first be configured with EasyCAN.
During adjustments, only the position 0locked to the back is operated and taught. The
position 180forwards does not have to be taught.
