Length Sensor Cable Reel
WARNING! Arc welding will damage LSI sensors, causing immediate failure or greatly
reducing functional life. Arc welding on or near LSI equipment will void warranty. Keep
LSI equipment well clear of any arc welding.
The GS101 includes the LS101 cable reel and the GS011 angle/length sensor. The GS011 is
concealed under the cover of the LS101, though the antenna is visible. Following cable reel
installation and boom length indication calibration, boom angle indication will have to be verified
and possibly calibrated. Refer to the sections Angle Calibration Procedure № 1 and Angle
Calibration Procedure № 2 for instructions.
Maximum Boom Extension
Confirm the extension of the LS101 cable reel is compatible with the boom.
Step 1. Note the cable reel maximum extension: 100 feet
(30.5 metres) unless specified otherwise.
T = ______________
Step 2. Note the retracted boom length. A = ______________
Step 3. Note the maximum extended boom length, not
including jib.
B = ______________
Step 4. Calculate maximum boom extension. C = B – A = ______________
Step 5. Compare cable reel maximum extension (T) to
maximum boom extension (C).
D = T – C = ______________
Maximum cable reel extension must be greater than maximum boom extension.
