Tadano FAUN 214 Electrical Schematic – Factory Circuit Diagrams for Superstructure

You’ve got a Tadano FAUN 214 on the lot with an electrical ghost in the superstructure. Maybe the outriggers won’t extend, or the cockpit graphic control system goes dark when you hit the service brake. Without the factory schematic, you’re chasing wires blind. That costs hours and risks shorting out a CAN BUS module. This is the original OEM circuit and piping diagram set – Part D2 – covering the superstructure. 59 pages. Direct scans from Tadano FAUN’s own documentation. Tadano FAUN 214 Electrical Schematic is what you need when the multimeter is in your hand and the crane is dead.

Slipring and Cock-Pit Graphic Control System Wiring

Page 1 of the PDF shows exactly how the slipring feeds power and signals from the chassis into the rotating superstructure. The cockpit graphic control system (CGC) is tied into a series of relays and fuses that can fail if a diode group shorts. The schematic lists every wire path – from the slipring to the CGC module, through a battery main switch with a time-delayed relay. If your display flickers or stops responding, trace back to that relay block. The factory diagram shows the exact pinout for the CGC power supply, so you don’t guess and fry the board.

Relay and Fuse Layout for CGC Supply

Two pages cover the relay CGC supply circuit, including the group diode array that isolates the chassis control system from the superstructure. This is where aftermarket diagrams get sloppy – they merge grounds or skip the time-delay relay spec. Not here. The OEM document marks each relay with its coil resistance and connector numbers. You can verify the system without pulling every fuse. If the Automotive Industry Overview teaches anything, it’s that factory wiring data prevents electrical fires. This schematic gives you that factory data.

Outrigger Selection and Rocker Switch Circuits

Rocker tip switches for front right, front left, rear right, and rear left outriggers have dedicated pages with wire-color codes and switch contact positions. On page 5 you’ll see the rocker sw unlock rear axle tied into controller PB10. When an outrigger refuses to move, you check the switch continuity at the rocker tip and then verify the relay signal at the control sw rear axle steering line. The schematic includes the CAN BUS connection to the steering crane direction switch. Without this, replacing a rocker switch is a gamble. With it, you test before you buy parts.

CAN BUS Connection and Rear Axle Steering

The document diagrams the CAN BUS link between the superstructure and chassis – specifically the connection labeled “after section 8” on the electric circuit diagram page. This covers the sw on steering crane directed to the rear, relay 3506, and the control switch for rear axle steering. Losing CAN communication means the crane won’t stow or the outrigger interlock fails. The schematic shows the bus lines, termination resistors, and the gateway through the slipring. If you’re new to crane electronics, start with this section – it explains how the entire superstructure talks to the chassis. Automotive Wiring principles apply, but this is specific to a 214.

Air Pressure Transmitter and Service Brake Indicator

Page 3 covers the air pressure transmitter supply for the superstructure and the service brake indicator lamp. The rocker sw for direction indicator, the gear selector, and the hand-actuated accelerator transmitter all tie into the same slipring circuit. If the brake warning light stays on, you check the sw service brake superstructure contact against the schematic. The document shows the exact pin layout at the slipring connector. No guesswork. This is the difference between a 30-minute fix and a 3-hour diagnostic loop.

Audience Fit – Who Needs This Schematic?

If you own or maintain a Tadano FAUN 214, this is the only wiring map you should trust. Home garage mechanics? Not your typical audience – crane electrical systems are high-amp, high-risk. But experienced DIYers who work on heavy equipment will find the step‑by‑step logic built into the circuit diagram format. Beginners should pair this with the service manual for safety procedures. The schematic alone won’t teach you how to discharge capacitors or isolate high-voltage lines. That’s on you.

Source Validity – OEM vs Aftermarket

This is a direct scan of the original Tadano FAUN factory document, Part D2, document number 0480_EH_ALLGE_D2_00_00_00. Aftermarket reprints often crop page edges, merge colors (making wire identification useless), and omit revision dates. This scan preserves every line, every label, and every relay pin number. The page headers read FAUN and the sheet numbers match the factory binder. If you’ve been burned by a third-party diagram that showed the wrong fuse rating, you know why this matters.

FAQ – Four Questions About the Tadano FAUN 214 Electrical Schematic

Does this manual include torque specifications for bolts or hydraulics?

No – this is a pure electrical and piping schematic. Torque values for structural bolts and hydraulic fittings are in the separate service manual.

How many pages are the circuit diagrams?

59 pages covering the full superstructure electrical system – from slipring and cockpit graphic control to CAN BUS and outrigger rocker switches.

Can I use this to trace a fault in the outrigger control?

Yes. The diagrams show each rocker switch circuit with pin numbers and wire colors. On page 5 you see the rocker tip switches for each outrigger and their relay connections, including the unlock rear axle circuit tied to PB10. The schematic identifies component locations like the 3501 relay and the CAN BUS connection – everything you need to follow a voltage drop.

Is this an OEM manual or an aftermarket copy?

This is a direct scan of the original Tadano FAUN factory schematic, Part D2. No aftermarket reprints. The document ID is 0480_EH_ALLGE_D2_00_00_00. It matches what the factory technician would have on the bench.
