Level Transducer Installation Instructions
Installation Type A
– Measuring Machine Tilt (Roll)
This installation is typically used in marine applications where the crane is on a ship or a barge and it allows the user to
observe actual tilt based on the direction of the boom.
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 must be mounted onto a part of the crane that rotates along with the boom. The label must be facing up and the
directional arrow should point along the boom towards the tip. Refer to the diagram below.
3. Make sure that the Level transducer is not mounted in a position where it might be stepped on or in a position where it may suffer impact
damage. Possible mounting locations are on top of t
he turret or on the operator‟s cab if it rotates with the boom.
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 crane MUST be level during the calibration process.
8. DO NOT weld the weld plate with the Level Transducer attached.
