2. Background. This requirement is for the contractor to provide an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technician to perform field troubleshooting on the load moment indicator (LMI) system for shipboard knuckle boom cranes. The LMI modules intermittently operate, providing no error codes for further troubleshooting. Replacement modules were received and attempted to install and calibrate. Technicians identified intermittent grounds in several wire runs and receiving error code E61, denoting issues with data transfer via Can Bus. Shipboard technical expertise on the LMI system is beyond current capabilities and requires on-site OEM technical assistance to diagnose and correct system operation.
