Sensor
The GS010-03 is a two axis angle sensor designed to
detect both list and trim angle. Minimum and
maximum limits for list and trim angle are adjustable in
the display. The display will generate an alarm if the
limits are exceeded and can be programmed to
generate lockout. Furthermore list and trim angle can
be used to control rated capacity chart selection where
required (example: barge cranes).
3.12a Programming the GS22X for
List and Trim Indication
The GS22X must be connected to a computer to
proceed with the following.
For list indication, add the GS010-03 ID number to
the sensor list and select the sensor type “List
sensor”.
For trim indication, add the GS010-03 ID number to
the sensor list and select the sensor type “Trim
sensor”.
The maximum and minimum angles for list and trim
indication can be adjusted in the limit menu. The
default limits are 10.0° maximum and -10.0° minimum.
3.12b Mounting Instructions
1. Determine the angle sensor position.
a. The mounting surface should be flat and
known to be level (0°) in both the list and
trim axes.
b. The angle sensor should have a clear line
of sight to the cabin mounted display.
c. The angle sensor should be installed
horizontally, with the antenna pointing up.
d. The list and trim axes are indicated on the
angle sensor, follow these indications to
orient the sensor correctly for accurate list
and trim indication.
e. The angle sensor antenna should not
contact a metal object.
2. Install the welding pads; keep the angle sensor
well removed from the weld site and any
connecting metal objects while welding.
3. Mount the angle sensor to the weld pads with
the screws and washers provided.
4. Verify list and trim angle indication in the WRCM.
3.12c List and Trim Angle Calibration
The GS22X must be connected to a computer to
proceed with the following.
Calibrate the angle indication by adjusting the
Offset values for list and trim in the WRCM; the
GS22X will then communicate the updated offset
values to the sensor. Verify accurate list and trim
angle indication.

Trim (pitch)

IMPORTANT! Remove the angle sensor
from any connecting metal structures or
surfaces when welding the metal lugs to the
mounting surface. Proximity to welding may
cause permanent damage to the angle sensor
and prevent accurate angle indication.
