4. Pivot the angle sensor slightly until angle
indication is correct. Repeat the angle validation
(step 1) as required.
3.3c Angle Calibration Procedure
№ 2: Correct with the GS22X
The GS22X must be connected to a computer to
proceed with calibration procedure.
Calibrate angle indication by adjusting the trim
(offset) value in the WRCM PC user interface; the
GS22X will then communicate the updated trim
value to the sensor.
1. Position the boom at a precisely known angle.
2. Adjust the trim value in the WRCM.
Example: If angle indicated is 0.3° over the actual
angle, adjust the trim value to -0.3.
Example: If angle indicated is 0.9° below the actual
angle, adjust the trim value to 0.9.
3. Verify accurate angle indication at both very
high and very low angles.

Anti-Two-Block Switch
Anti-Two-Block Switch
Verify the anti-two-block switch is programmed to
the GS22X base station. Switches shipped with
GS22X are pre-programmed in the factory. Test
: if
the switch has been programmed to the display
then the display will go in to two-block alarm when
the wire rope of the switch is released. If the switch
has not been programmed to the GS22X, this
should be done before proceeding with installation.
See the section 2.4 Nodes Configuration.
3.4a GS050 Installation
1. Position the sensor mounting bracket. To
ensure that the sensor can pivot securely on the
mounting bracket throughout the full range of
boom angle, the mounting bracket must be
positioned at a 30° from horizontal with the
boom parallel to the ground and such that the
locking pin of the mounting bracket points up.
Bolt or weld securely.
WARNING! Keep the anti-two-block switch
away from the boom and any connecting
metal structures when welding mounting
brackets to the boom. Proximity to welding
may cause permanent damage to the anti-
two-block switch and render the anti-two-
block system unsafe.

!
IMPORTANT! To ensure reliable radio
communication between the anti-two-block
switch and the GS22X base station the
following conditions must be respected:
• The antenna of the anti-two-block switch
should not be in contact with metal.
• The anti-two-block switch antenna should
point to the left or to the right of the boom;
it should not point directly to, or away from,
the GS22X base station.
• The anti-two-block switch antenna should
have a clear line of sight to the GS22X base
station; in most cases this means mounting
the sensor on the same side of the boom as
the operator's cab.
