There is usually a hydraulic cutout function in use with the existing Longitudinal Moment Indicator (LMI). Typically this cutout stops the boom lower and extend functions while leaving the raise and retract functions still operable - this is called an aggravated movement cutout. An aggravated movement cutout can be used with the Gen3 LMS. Ideally the cutout produced from the LMI should be connected in series with the cutout produced by the Gen3 LMS, so if either system go over capacity they can produce a cutout. A 6-Pin connector with 6 bare wires will have been supplied with the kit - called the machine cutout connector. This connects to two relays in the CCIM module according to the table below. The relays are capable of switching up to 5 A of current, so can directly drive solenoids if required. 

Some machine hydraulic controls have a boom movement disable function as a safety feature; or as a road mode function to stop the operator inadvertently operating the boom while moving. This will produce a full cutout - stopping all boom controls and can be used for the cutout of the Gen3 LMS. Most machines have the hydraulic cutout function fail to safe, which means the output line from the LMI to the solenoid is opened to produce a cutout. But some machines function in the opposite manner. They apply a 12V power source to the solenoid line to produce a cutout and they open the line to allow normal boom operation. This requires the Gen3 LMS cutout to be connected in parallel with the existing LMI cutout line. Splice the normally open wire from the primary relay into the cutout line and connect the common wire from the primary relay to a constant 12V supply  - preferably from the same power supply line for the LMI (this way it is guaranteed to be able to supply enough current to a solenoid). The same method can be used on the secondary relay if the LMI uses two cutout lines.

Some machine electronics have the LMI directly integrated into the machine and use electrovalves to control the boom functions. An electrovalve is a proportional control that opens the valve based on a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. The higher the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the more the valve is open - allowing for more oil flow. When the lines to the electrovalves for the boom lower and extend functions are opened, an aggravated movement cutout is produced. Also when the lines are opened, the machine ECU produces an open line fault error - indicating that the line was cut. This error usually doesn't get cleared until the line is reconnected and the machine restarted. Usually, while this error is produced, all boom functionality and maybe even drive functionality is disabled. To overcome this error (when a cutout is produced), the output to the electrovalves needs to be redirected through a dummy resistor - so the desired aggravated movement cutout is produced without creating a open line fault error. There are four 4.7 Ohm and four 25 Ohm 25 watt resistors supplied with the kit. By combining these two types of resistor values between 9 to 25 Ohms can be produced. The value of the resistor to use will depend on the system, if the value is too high, the open line fault error will again be produced. If the value is too low, too much current will be drawn through the relays and wires - causing damage to the system. To determine the resistor value, connect the 25 Ohm resistor to the input connector for one of the electrovalves and see if the open line error is produced (make sure to move the boom in the direction that will attempt to energize the electrovalve with the maximum PWM signal). If the error is still produced, connect another 25 Ohm resistor in parallel producing an effective overall resistance of 12.5 Ohms and check if the open line error is produced, continue to lower the resistance until the open line error is not produced.
