Primary Boom Angle Sensor

The primary boom angle sensor is used to limit the
angle of the primary boom relative to the angle of
the turntable and gravity.
How to Calibrate the Primary
Boom Angle Sensor
Note: If the angle sensor is replaced, both the
sensor and magnet must be replaced as a set.
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on
a firm, level surface and in the stowed position with
the axles extended.
Note: The turntable level sensor must be calibrated
prior to calibrating the primary boom.
Note: RSB1AO and RSB1AS are calibrated at the
same time.
Note: Primary boom angle must be calibrated
before calibrating boom length.
Note: If the calibration flags between SCON and
TCON do not agree after calibration, a crosscheck
fault is generated and recorded and the affected
boom function is inhibited.
Note: A digital level will be required to perform this
procedure.
Note: A kit is available through Genie Product
Support (Genie part number 58351). This kit
includes a digital level with a magnetic base and
cable harnesses.

1 Push in the ground controls red Emergency
Stop button to the off position.
2 Turn the key switch to ground controls.
3 Open the ground control box.
4 Locate the calibration toggle switch at the top
of the ground control box. Activate calibration
mode by moving the toggle switch in the left
direction.
5 Temporarily install a control box door retaining
fastener between the door and the box to
prevent the control box door from moving the
toggle switch while calibrating the machine.
6 Remove the key from the main key switch.
Insert the key into the bypass/recovery key
switch and turn it to the bypass position.
Note: The angle sensor calibration values will not
be saved correctly unless the key switch is in the
bypass position and the calibration toggle switch is
activated.
