Inclinometer – GS010-01-V2
Part number GS010-03-V2 is a dual axis mode. The sensor must then be installed with the antenna pointing up.
Applications:
- Crane boom angle
- Hook block inclination
- Any moving equipment or slow moving parts
- Barge level monitoring
General Description:
The angle sensor comes in three different configurations depending on the application:
Part number GS010-01-V2 is optimize for crane boom angle measurement type of application, the basic angle sensor reads from: -90° (pointing down) to +130°. Automatically detect left hand and right hand sides and switch sides.
Part number GS010-02-V2 will transmit angles between 0° and 360°. Zero degrees is when the angle sensor is level, such as laying on a table. If the sensor is tilted up, the angle will increase, to show 90° when pointing up. If the angel is lowered to point downward, its angle will show 359.9° and lower.

Installation
Example: transmitter installation on the side of a crane boom
Part number GS010-01-V2 & GS010-02-V2:
The GS010-V2 series angle sensors can be turned on by starting up the receiver to which they are programmed. The angle sensor can then assist in levelling itself with the red and green LED.
- Determine the angle sensor position.
a. The GS010-01-V2 boom angle sensor can be mounted on either side of the boom.
b. The GS010-02-V2 360° angle sensor must be mounted on the port side of the jib.
c. The angle sensor must be level with the boom or jib centerline.
d. The top / bottom axis of the angle sensor must be within 15 degrees of vertical
e. The angle sensor should have a clear line of sight to the cabin mounted display.
f. The angle sensor antenna should not contact a metal object. - Install the welding pads; keep the angle sensor at least three feet from the weld site and any connecting metal objects while welding.
- Mount the angle sensor to the weld pads with the screws and washers provided.
- Verify angle indication at the receiving end.
Part number GS010-03-V2:
The List and Trim angle sensor is a dual axis angle sensor. It monitors tilt angles from its front to back and left to right axis (when the antenna points up) and wirelessly transmits the two angles on the LSI radio network. It is packaged in a rugged stainless steel enclosure able to resist to all outside environment.
