Angle Sensor Installation; Gravity V Angle Sensor Option - GKD 1H Series Installation Manual

6 ANGLE SENSOR INSTALLATION

6.1

GRAVITY V angle sensor option

The GRAVITY V angle sensor is installed onto the boom to be monitored.
Identify a position for the sensor on the side of the boom, where it is not likely to be
damaged by machine components or to catch moving cables or hydraulic hoses as machine
components articulate.
It is preferable that the sensor should be installed as close to the boom base pin as is
practical, to minimize acceleration and deceleration forces imposed on the sensor as the
boom moves up or down.
The sensor should be orientated so that the long edge is parallel with the boom being
monitored.
