Angle/Lenght Sensor - RaycoWylie i3500 Instruction Manual

5.2 Angle/ Lenght Sensor
In the diagnostic menu, this is the typical displayed information:
sensor
Angle 1:
Length 1:
Some applications have more than one angle or length sensor. In this case, all
of the angle sensors are listed first then length sensors will follow. The first
angle sensor to be listed is the one installed closest to the main boom base.
Referring to the example above for the Angle 1 sensor:
Values Ain 1 and Ain 2 vary depending on the inclinometers in the X and in Y
axes that are used to calculate the angle. These values are normally between
1200 and 2900 bits.
Dr + : represents the D.C voltage level of excitation on the angle/ length card
and must be close to 5.00 Volts.
When the multiple reel option is required every angle/length card has an ATB
option that can be activated by dip switch # 4. For the angle/length card,
which is not monitoring the ATB, N/A is shown under a2b instead of 0 or 1,
indicating that it's not available on this card.
Value 0 represents a safe condition while value 1 will represent a two-block
condition.
As shown on the above table, for the length 1 sensor, the value ain1 represents
the boom extension value in bits. It may vary between around 50 and 975 bits.
The length 1 sensor ain2 value is reserved for future expansion.
Angle 1 and Length 1 sensors are physically located on the same
electronic board.
