SERIES 1-H INTRODUCTION The GKD 1-H Height Limiting Indicator is designed to be fitted to plant and machinery with an adjustable height boom to warn the operator that the equipment is approaching, or has reached a pre-determined maximum height limit. The 1-H also gives an electrical output signal when the limit is reached which can be used to control the operation of the machine.
SERIES 1-H INDICATORS AND CONTROLS The indicators on the Series 1-H display consist of five coloured LED lamps, which operate as follows: Fault Lights up red when there is a fault with the system or configuration Lights up red when the machine reaches 95% of it’s permitted maximum load •...

PRACTICAL OPERATION OF THE SERIES 1-H SYSTEM Limits The Height Limit must be set at least 15 degrees above Horizontal. The Height Limit must be set with the machine in the ‘worst case’. i.e. equipment at full reach (for excavators) or extending boom fully extended (for teletruks and machines with extending booms). The Height Limit must be set less than 90 degrees above Horizontal.

Relay operation The Relay goes OFF when the Height Limit is reached, or the Series 1-H DC power is lost. The Relay is ON in Inactive and Set Limit modes to allow any boom movement. Angle Sensor When powered up the Green LED on the side of the Angle sensor will flash to show that it is working correctly.
FAULT CONDITION INDICATION In Active Mode the Red ! LED flashes fast if there is no Height Limit is set. In Set Limit Mode the Red ! LED stays on if there is no Height Limit is set. Fault LED If the “Fault”...

No motion cut or external alarm Check to make sure that the display internal relay connection (BLUE wire) is connected to a +V ignition switched source, as the power to the green and yellow output wires is derived from the blue power input wire.
