35 Cranesmart LMI Version R9
Installation Type B
– Measuring Grade and Super Elevation / Ship List (Roll) and Trim (Pitch)
This installation should be used for Locomotive Cranes (grade and super elevation) or Ship and Barge applications
where the user wants the
Cranesmart™ system to indicate if the
ship is listing (Rolling) or Trimming (pitching)
1. The Level Transducer should have a clear line of sight to the Cranesmart
™ system‟s antenna and be kept free of all obstructions.
2. The Level Transducer can be mounted to the deck (label facing up) or onto a post the higher the Level Transducer is from the deck the
better the radio transmission will be.
3. The correct mounting position of the Level Transducer is critical. The label must be facing up and the directional arrow should point
towards the front of the car or ship. Refer to the diagram below.
4. The mounting position needs to be stable during operation as vibration may cause the unit to jitter.
5. The Level Transducer should be made as level as possible but it is NOT critical that the Level Transducer be perfectly level. The unit will
be calibrated (see page 71) after installation.
6. Verify communication with receiver panel before permanently mounting the Transducer (see page 83)
7. The barge deck MUST be level during the calibration process.
8. DO NOT weld the weld plate with the Level Transducer attached.
