CRANE CAB PAGING STATION
Overview
A rig crane is present on every platform & rig and is used to on-load supplies, off-load equipment as well asredistributing drilling equipment. The crane operator needs to communicate through the Page/Party® system or aradio system. A second form of crane is the port crane, which is a large self-contained mobile structure with its ownwork crew. The port container crane loads & unloads crated and containerized shipments dockside onto ships andrailcars. The port crane operator must communicate to personnel on the ground and other members of the portcrane’s crew located in the machine house and structure. The space within these crane cabins is limited and manytimes functions are required to be hands-free. Some of the typical requirements include:
Page to the personnel below the crane to warn of movement. Page to the entire Page/Party® system. Use of footswitches to allow operator to control crane functions.
System Configurations
B00041 (120VAC) & I00044 (24VDC): The station contains a remote gooseneck microphone assembly, a two-position rotary switch and maintained pushbutton for selecting mode of operation (OFF, SYSTEM 1 and LOCAL),and two foot switches. The first foot switch controls page access (push-to-page), and the second foot switchcontrols party line access (press-to-talk, release to listen). The position of the selector switch determines the mode ofoperation:
LOCAL - page audio is sent to a specific speaker amplifier that broadcasts one-way pages. SYSTEM 1 - used for hands-free communication within the Page/Party® system. OFF - the microphone is disabled.
A station speaker (not included with the custom station) can be connected to the station’s remote amplifier tomonitor the system page line in any of the selector switch positions. Both the system page line and the party line aremonitored via the station speaker when the SYSTEM 1 position is selected.

A92031: The station contains a 13-inch gooseneck microphone mounted on the desk-edge subset, a 3-position rotaryswitch for selecting mode of operation (OFF, SYSTEM 1, and LOCAL), and two foot switches. The first foot switchcontrols page access (push-to-page), and the second foot switch controls party line access (press-to-talk, release tolisten). The position of the selector switch determines the mode of operation: LOCAL - page audio is sent to a specific speaker amplifier that broadcasts one-way pages. SYSTEM 1 - used for hands-free communication within the Page/Party® system. OFF - the microphone is disabled.
A station speaker (not included in code) can be connected to the station to monitor the system page line in any of thethree selector switch positions. Both the system page line and the party line are monitored via the station speakerwhen the SYSTEM 1 position is selected.

D96002: The Desk-Edge Crane Cab Station provides page line and party line communications. The 25 inchgooseneck microphone is used to access the page line and the subset handset is used to access the party line. Thestation includes a jack for plugging in an auxiliary headset that can also be used to communicate on the party line.
Party line communications are available by using the subset handset or an auxiliary headset. Using the handset, theoperator simply lifts the handset and two-way communication can occur with individuals off-hook on the party line.The handset can also be used to access the page line. A GAI-Tronics Model 10416-103 or equivalent headset can beplugged into the subset’s jack for party line communication only.
Page line communications are available using the subset handset or the subset gooseneck microphone. Using thehandset, the operator lifts the handset, depresses the handset pressbar, and speaks directly into the handsetmicrophone. The gooseneck microphone provides page line access when the operator depresses the foot-switch(purchased separately) and speaks directly into the microphone. All page messages are broadcast over systemspeakers, including the associated boom speaker.
