This procedure covers basic troubleshooting for
electronic gauges. If more detailed information is
needed, contact LBCE Service.
What Makes the Interlink Gauge
System Different
Conventional instrumentation requires that each
gauge be connected to its sender unit by one or two
dedicated wires. Additional wires for backlighting and
warning lights would total 4 wires per gauge. Thus, a
panel with six gauges plus tachometer and
speedometer would require at least 32 separate wires
behind the instrument panel. By comparison, the
Interlink Gauge System uses a 5---wire cable to link all
gauges together.
The Interlink Gauge System is easy to repair and
requires no maintenance. With the exception of the
scaleplate, all 2---inch gauges are identical. Each
scaleplate includes a barcode and corresponding hole
assembly that, when inserted into the printed circuit
board, configures the gauge to the function shown on
the scaleplate. This reduces the spare parts inventory
by requiring only a few blank gauges and a supply of
inexpensive scaleplates rather than a complete spare
gauge of each type.

Activating the Instrument Panel
Turning on the ignition activates the instrument system
and starts a self test. During the self test, all gauge
pointers will move to the 12 o’clock position and all
gauge warning light emitting diodes (LEDs) will
illuminate. After the self test, the gauge pointers will
move to their actual gauge reading and the warning
LEDs will turn off. The Speedometer Message Center
(SMC) will display the odometer reading.
The SMC display goes blank when the ignition is
turned off. Pressing the Select button re---activates it,
and it remains activated for 10 seconds after the last
time the Select button is pushed.
Temporarily Overriding a Warning
Message
To temporarily override a warning message:
1. Press the Reset button.
2. Press the Select button to display another function.
Warning messages will reappear every 20 seconds
until the alarm condition is corrected.
The red warning LED in the gauge and the warning
tone cannot be overridden and will continue until the
condition is corrected.

The interface module is a sealed unit and receives data
through electrical and pressure inputs. It is connected
to the Interlink Gauge System gauges, to sender units,
and to other equipment throughout the crane. Its
purpose is to convert data and sensor inputs into
gauge drive signals. All incoming data is processed by
the interface module’s microprocessor. Full size and
reduced size versions are available and are shown in
Figure 2.
transducers contained in pressure modules provide
inputs for vacuum and air pressure gauge readings.
Switched inputs are available for telltale, engine
shutdown and other functions.
The interface module is designed to be mounted in a
remote and environmentally hostile location. The
printed circuit board is mounted in an aluminum
die---cast housing that is then filled with a urethane
potting compound to completely seal the unit.

Functional Description Each ECU is specialized. For example, an Engine ECU

This section describes the Interlink Gauge System on a
function level. It is intended to provide a more detailed
understanding of how the system works. Figure 3
illustrates the major components and signal flow.
Electronic Control Units
Electronic Control Units (sometimes called ECUs) are
computerized “black boxes”. Connected to sensors,
switches, and other ECUs throughout the crane, they
monitor and control various aspects of crane
operation.
ECUs communicate with each other and with other
systems (the Interlink Gauge System, for example) by
sending and receiving electronic messages. Each
ECU contains its own computer which is programmed
to respond to and to generate specific messages. The
format of these messages is standardized and is
determined by the SAE J1708 Specification. The
interface module interprets some of the messages and
displays them as shown in Table 2.
monitors and helps control engine performance, a
Transmission ECU monitors and helps control
transmission operation, and an ABS (Anti---lock Brake
System) ECU monitors and helps control braking
performance. An ECU designed for one system
cannot be interchanged with an ECU designed for
another.
Public Data Buss
The public data buss is a twisted---wire pair through
which ECUs and other equipment send and receive
messages. The two wires making up the public data
buss are part of the crane’s wiring harness. Because
the public data buss connects to many different
components in widely separated locations, a problem
with it or with one of the components connected to it
can sometimes be hard to isolate. The public data
buss conforms to the SAE 1708, Standard For Data
Communications Interface. Data should conform to
the SAE J1587, Standard For Data Interchange.

5 of 18
SM01---073---001.00
Private Data Buss
The interface module is connected to the gauges by
the private data buss. The private data buss is similar
to the public data buss and carries data to the
tachometer and 2---inch gauges. The private data buss
is not connected to the public data buss.
Interface Module
The interface module is the data collection and
processing point of the Interlink Gauge System. It
receives and converts messages from the public data
buss and inputs from switches and sensors
throughout the crane into gauge data and message
displays. All gauge and display information is routed
through the interface module with these exceptions:
a. Road speed is sent directly to the speedome-
ter via the public data buss: However, it is used
by the interface module to compute mileage,
which is displayed by the SMC.
b. Inputs from the Select and Reset switches are
applied directly to the SMC.
c. Clock information is generated within the
SMC.
d. Gauge backlighting power comes from an ex-
ternal dimming control (not part of the Interlink
Gauge System).
e. ABS, if equipped, messages are routed direct-
ly via the public data buss from the ABS ECU to
the SMC.
Pressure Transducer Module
The pressure transducer module consists of two
transducers mounted in a common thermoplastic base
inside a metal housing. Each transducer converts
pressure (up to 150 psi (1 034kPa) may be applied) into
a DC voltage that can be used by the interface module.
It is most commonly used to monitor brake air
pressure. The module is symmetrical and the
transducers are identical, allowing the unit to be
mounted on the interface module in either direction.
Vacuum Transducer Module
The vacuum transducer module consists of two
vacuum transducers mounted in a common
thermoplastic base inside a metal housing. Each
transducer converts vacuum into a DC voltage that can
be used by the interface module. The vacuum
transducer module is used for the Air Filter Restriction
and Fuel Filter Restriction gauges.
6 of 18
0510 Service Manual
The vacuum transducer module is not symmetrical and
the vacuum transducers in the module are not
identical. The vacuum transducer module must be
mounted at Port #5 only and it cannot be rotated like
the pressure transducer module. The Air Filter
Restriction module must go into Port 5A, and the Fuel
Filter Restriction module must go into Port 5B.
Pressure/Vacuum Transducer Module
A combination module is also available that contains
one pressure transducer and one vacuum transducer.
This module is used only on the Reduced Function
interface module and must be mounted in Port #5.
2---Inch Gauges
Construction
Each 2---inch gauge consists of a printed circuit board
and meter assembly, and a scaleplate with
programming tab. These parts are mounted together
with a glass faceplate and a sealing gasket in a plastic,
twist ---apart housing. Figure 4 shows how these parts
are assembled.
Printed Circuit Board
The printed circuit board has a red warning LED, two
LEDs that are used for backlighting, a microprocessor
that converts data from the private data buss into meter
drive signals, a pair of identical connectors, and a small
five---pin contact assembly which accepts the
programming tab on the scaleplate.
Gauge Programming
The scaleplate’s programming tab configures a gauge
to the function shown on the scaleplate. Holes in the
tab perform the actual programming by allowing
certain contact pins to make contact with the circuit
board. Figure 5 shows the contact assembly and the
placement tab.
Meter Movement
The air---core meter movement is controlled by the
microprocessor. The meter is filled with an oil damping
solution to prevent erratic pointer movement. If the
gauge is left face down longer than 15 minutes, the oil
will begin to run out. This causes inaccurate gauge
readings, premature gauge failure, and voids the
warranty. For this reason, gauges should always be
stored face up or in their normal operating position.
Service Manual
Interlink Gauge Cable Assemblies
Identical 5---conductor cable assemblies make up the
private data buss that “Interlink Gauges” the
tachometer and 2---inch gauges. Each end of the cable
assemblies has a 5---pin connector that is polarized so
it cannot be plugged in backwards. The pinouts are
identical, allowing either end to be plugged into either
of two identical sockets on the back of the gauges. The
plugs are held in place by a locking tab. Either
connector can be used as an input or an output. The
cable assemblies carry power, ground, backlight
power and private data buss signals from one gauge to
the next.
Meter Drive Signals
A microprocessor on each gauge circuit board
converts the gauge data from the private data buss into
meter drive signals. Some 2---inch gauge data is
applied directly to the interface module from sensors
and switches throughout the crane (for example, fuel
level data), while other data comes from the Engine
ECU via the public data buss (for example, engine rpm,
oil pressure, and water temperature).
Tachometer
The tachometer is similar in construction to the 2---inch
gauges except that it is larger and is not
programmable. This unit is not field---serviceable.
Engine rpm data originates at a sensor mounted on the
engine. The data is fed to the Engine ECU which
converts it into rpm messages and places the
messages on the public data buss. The interface
module receives the rpm messages, converts them
into tachometer data and places that data on the
private data buss. A microprocessor on the
tachometer printed circuit board converts the data into
meter drive signals.
Tachometer calibration values are stored inside the
interface module and may be changed via the public
data buss and special calibration equipment listed in
this document.
Speedometer
The speedometer is similar in construction to the
2---inch gauges. Unlike the other gauges, its
microprocessor receives its speed information directly
from the public data buss and not from the interface
module.
0510 SM01---073---001.00
Speedometer Message Center
The Speedometer Message Center displays values
that are stored in the interface module, The driver can
choose which value to display (i.e., odometer, clock,
etc.) by using the Select and Reset switches as
described in the Operator’s Manual.
The interface module communicates with the SMC
over the public data buss. Warning messages appear
when an alarm condition is detected, and are updated
every 20 seconds.
Backlight power for the SMC comes from the same
source used for the gauge backlighting.
Select and Reset Inputs
Select and Reset switches can be mounted on the
dash. Their inputs are connected to the SMC via a
connector on the rear of the speedometer housing.
They are used to select, set, and reset the clock, the
reminder (alarm), and the trip odometers. If these
inputs are not connected, the SMC will display
odometer information and warning messages only.
Diagnostic Connector
The diagnostic connector allows test equipment to be
connected to the public data buss. This test
equipment is used to troubleshoot the public data buss
and many of the devices connected to it. It is also used
to program the interface module. The diagnostic
connector is usually located underneath the
dashboard near the driver.
Note: The diagnostic connector is not part of the In-
terlink Gauge System. It is shown in Figure 3 for ref-
erence only.
Backlighting
Each gauge contains LEDs that provide backlighting.
They are soldered to the printed circuit board and are
not replaceable. If a gauge’s backlighting fails, the
gauge must be replaced.
The LEDs receive power from a dimming control
located on the crane dash. Backlight power is passed
from one gauge to the next through the Interlink Gauge
cable assemblies (the blue wire on pin 1).

Service Procedures Ordering An Interface Module

This section describes how to isolate problems in the
Interlink Gauge System to a defective component.
All components of the Interlink Gauge System are
easily replaceable in the field. However, none of them
are field---repairable. Opening any of these
components voids the warranty. Replace them if
defective. The 2---inch gauges may be opened to
replace scaleplates without affecting the warranty.
The interface module is programmed at the factory
based on which transducer modules are mounted, and
what alarm temperatures and pressures are required
for a specific crane and/or engine model. It is critical
that the correct crane model and serial number are
provided when ordering a replacement interface
module. Have this information available before
ordering replacement parts.

Servicing the Interface Module

Non-- Preservation of Odometer and Engine Hour
Data

The interface module accumulates and stores

odometer and engine hour values. These values are
continuously updated during normal crane operation
via other devices connected to the public data buss.
They are preserved within the interface module when
the battery is disconnected and cannot be changed.

If an interface module from another crane is installed,

the engine hours and odometer values displayed will
be those of the other crane. If a new interface module
from the factory is installed, the engine hours and
odometer values will be zero.

About the 2---Inch Gauge Scaleplates
Two---inch gauges are identical in design and
hardware with the exception of their scaleplates.
Installing a scaleplate automatically programs a gauge
to the function represented by that scaleplate. See
Figure 5.
Removing a 2---Inch Gauge Assembly
Refer to Figure 4.
1. Unplug the connectors (10) from the rear of the
gauge (11) by depressing their tabs while pulling
the connector (10) straight out.
2. Twist the clamp ring (8) counterclockwise (as
viewed from behind the gauge) about 1/8 turn.
3. Pull the clamp ring (8) straight off the rear of the
gauge housing (9) and remove the gauge (11)
from the front of the dash.
Disassembling a 2---Inch Gauge
1. Turn the bezel (1) counterclockwise about l/4 turn
and remove the bezel (1), glass faceplate (2), seal-
ing gasket (3), and mask ring (4). This requires a
fair amount of force.
2. Gently slide the gauge (11) out of the gauge hous-
ing (9).
3. Gently pull the tail of the scaleplate (6) out from un-
der the connector on the printed circuit board (7).
4. Remove the scaleplate (6) by allowing the gauge
pointer to pass through the cut on the scaleplate
(6).
Assembling a 2---Inch Gauge
Refer to Figure 4.
1. Attach the scaleplate (6) to the gauge (11).
2. Insert the gauge (11) into the gauge housing (9) ,
ensuring the connector (10) extends through the
rear of the gauge housing (9). The three round
notches in the printed circuit board (7) fit over the
round guides on the inside of the gauge housing
(9). The gauge (11) is correctly inserted when the
two round notches in the front of the gauge (11) fit
over the two round guides on the inside of the
gauge housing (9) and the connector (10) extends
slightly out the rear of the gauge housing (9).

grammed to recognize the new gauges.
1. Insert the rear of the gauge (11) assembly into the
dash from the front.
2. Install the clamp ring (8) around the gauge housing
(9) behind the dash, noting the guide pins. The
four plastic spring fingers on the clamp ring go to-
ward the front of the gauge (11).
3. Twist the clamp ring (8) in the direction shown in
Figure 4 until it is tight against the rear of the dash.
The clamp ring (8) has two built in “stop” points to
ensure correct gauge fit. These stops are indi-
cated by a “click” when twisting the ring. The de-
sign allows for panel thickness from 0.080 inch to
0.103 inch (.02mm to .032mm).
Refer to Figure 5.
