4.2a How to Add a Sensor to the GS550 Underhook
1. Determine the radio identification number (ID) of
the sensor to be added. This number between
10000 and 999999 is engraved on the sensor.
2. Go to menu page 4A1).
3. Advance to the next empty sensor position in
the sensor list. Press Next repeatedly until the
LCD shows “No sensor” on the bottom line.
Up to four (4) load cells and one (1) summation
may be added to the sensor list.
4. The ID number should flash; this means it is
adjustable. Use Up and Down to program
each sensor ID.
5. Press Next.
6. The sensor type (“No sensor”) should flash;
this means it is adjustable. Use Up and Down
to select the sensor type.
7. Press Enter to save any changes made to the
sensor list.
8. Press Exit three times to return to the main
operation display.
4.1 Sum Load Indication
When sum load indication is programmed the sum
of the loads on the pre-determined load sensors is
indicated by the operation display. To activate sum
load indication program a “Sum load cell” in the
sensor list. The “ID number” is used to identify the
load sensors to be summed.
Sum maximum limit. The maximum limit
for the sum load can be adjusted in the limit
menu; the default maximum limit for sum load
indication is 10,000 lbs or 4,535 kg.
Program sum load indication:
1. Go to menu 4A1) Sensor list.
2. Press Next repeatedly to advance to the next
available sensor position, usually following the
four load sensors.
3. Determine the sum load cell “ID number”. For
example: ID 1234 to indicate the sum of load
sensors No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, or
ID 34 to indicate the sum of load sensors No. 3
and No. 4.
4. Use Up and Down to adjust the ID number.
5. Press Next.
6. The sensor type should flash; use Up and
Down to select the sensor type “Sum load cell.”
7. Press Enter to save any changes.
8. Press Next to program the imbalance sensor
or press Exit three times to return to the
operation display.
9. Adjust the sum maximum limit in the limit menu.
4.2 Sensor List
All sensors in the GS550 Underhook system
are programmed in the sensor list. The GS550
Underhook uses information from all sensors in the
sensor list. Conversely the GS550 Underhook will
not use or display information from sensors that
are not programmed to the sensor list. If a sensor
is removed from the crane then it must be removed
from the sensor list. If a sensor is replaced the
sensor list must be updated with the new ID number.
