On a laptop PC create a new directory named with the Machine Type/Serial Number of the

software supplied (e.g. GKD1TMI2.xx.exe) into the new directory and double click on that file
to run the software. The following screen appears:-
Click the COM Port selection and the dropdown menu shows active USB ports. Select the
port that is connected to the GKD USB to CAN Interface. A message “USB-CAN Found”
appears at the bottom left of the screen.
Enter the values X1, X2, Y1 & Y2, in mm, for the machine being calibrated. Set the required
Alarm Threshold as a % of the maximum allowed capacity. Set Angle Reversed if the Angle
sensed seems to decrease as the boom rises (depends on the Angle Sensor orientation as
fitted on the boom).
When the data is complete, click
“Send Data to Interface Unit”
to download the data via the
interface unit into the Series 1-L controller. A message
“Data Transmitted”
appears at the
bottom left of the screen.
IMPORTANT: WRITE DOWN & KEEP A CAREFUL RECORD OF THE CALIBRATION DATA!
The Series 1-L is now set up ready for calibration..
