 2.3 Crane Angle Sensor for the Boom or Jib

2.3a  Mounting Procedure

When starting the LSI GS010 crane angle sensor installation the GS010 series angle sensors can be turned on by starting up the GS550 display to which they are programmed. The angle sensor can then assist in levelling itself with the red and green LED.

1. Determine the angle sensor position.

a. The GS010-01 boom angle sensor can be mounted on either side of the boom.
b. The GS010-02 360° angle sensor must be mounted on the port side of the jib.
c. The angle sensor must be level with the boom or jib centerline.
d. The top / bottom axis of the angle sensor must be within 15 degrees of vertical
e. The angle sensor should have a clear line of sight to the cabin mounted display.
f. The angle sensor antenna should not contact a metal object.

2. Install the welding pads; keep the angle sensor at least three feet from the weld site and any connecting metal objects while welding.

3. Mount the angle sensor to the weld pads with the screws and washers provided.

4. Verify angle indication on the GS550 LCD.

5. If the angle displayed by a GS010-01 boom angle sensor is a high negative value, then tilt the angle sensor up over 45 degrees, and then tilt back down to horizontal. The GS010-01 boom angle sensor will automatically detect on which side of the boom it is installed and correct angle indication accordingly.

2.3b Angle Calibration Procedure
№ 1: Mechanical Set-Up

1.Level the boom such that it is perfectly horizontal; use a high quality bubble or digital angle sensor. If the GS550 display indicates 0.0 degrees then angle calibration is complete; if not then continue to step 2.

2. For GS011 angle/length sensors only: Carefully remove the cover of the GS101 cable reel.

3. Loosen the mounting screw in the slotted hole of the angle sensor mounting plate.

4. Pivot the angle sensor slightly until angle indication is correct. Repeat the angle validation (step 1) as required.

2.3c Angle Calibration Procedure
№ 2: Correct with the GS550

Calibrate angle indication by adjusting the trim (offset) value in the GS550 display; the GS550 will then communicate the updated trim value to the sensor.

1. Position the boom at a precisely known angle.

2. Go to 4B) SENSOR CALIBRATION and press Enter.

3. Enter the user password (using Back, Next, Up and Down as described in Password settings section) and press Enter.

4. Go to 4B2A)

5. Use Back and Next to select the angle sensor to be calibrated.

6. Press Enter and then Next to go to the trim adjustment page.

7. Use Up and Down to adjust the trim value.
Example: If angle indicated is 0.3° over the actual angle, adjust the trim value to -0.3.
Example: If angle indicated is 0.9° below the actual angle, adjust the trim value to 0.9.

8. Press Enter to save changes.

9. Press Exit four times to return to the operation display.

10.Verify accurate angle indication at both very high and very low angles.
