LSI GS110 Manual

C rane Boom-L ength-and-A ngle W ireless M easurement Sensor
F eatures
Cable reel with 32 ft. (10 m) of wire rope to measure
length
Length resolution: 0.1 ft. (30 mm)
Length accuracy: 0.1 ft. (30 mm)
Angle resolution: 0.1°
Angle accuracy: typical: 0.2°
Angle range (GS110): -90° to +130°
Angle range (GS110-02): 0° to 360°
Measurement is optimized for crane movements; both
the boom angle and the boom length are measured four
times per second.
The GS110 can be installed on either side of the main
boom; the sensor automatically rights itself.
Radio range with line of sight: 4000 ft. (1300 m)
Operates with one 'D' cell battery lithium 3.6V or
alkaline 1.5V.
1 to 2 years battery life for typical applications
ISM license free radio; wavelength and modulation
optimized for radio communication in industrial
environments.
Temperature range: -35°C to 65°C (-35°F to 150°F)
Temperature compensated
Potted electronics for increased water proof protection
A pplications
Measurement of crane boom length and of crane boom
angle to horizontal. The wire rope can be fixed at the
boom tip for the complete boom length measurement.
For boom lengths longer than 32 ft., the wire rope can
be attached to the end of the first extending boom
section, with the condition that all boom sections must
always extend proportionally and at the same time.
G eneral Description
The cable reel has more than 32 ft. (10 m) of extendable,
spring loaded, wire rope. The extremity of the wire rope
should be fixed to the extremity of the length to be
measured. The cable reel ships with an anchor and cable
guides.
The transmitter box on top of the cable reel houses the
battery, the radio transmitter and the solid state
accelerometer-based angle sensor.
