Menu 04 - angle sensor

This menu is used to enter the zero point and span for the angle sensor. This is done using the digital 
level.

TEST

SET

Press the key adjacent to either “Menu Up” or “Menu Down” until “04 Angle Sensor” appears in the 
information window at the right.

Press the key adjacent to “04 Angle Sensor” to enter the routine.

With the boom in a horizontal position, press the key adjacent to “Zero Angle? = XXX”.

The extension sensor is now zeroed.

Press the key adjacent to “Span Angle? X.X”.

Raise the boom until the inclinometer reads 60° or slightly higher.

Enter the value for the angle from the inclinometer. Use the keys adjacent to the numerical values at 
the bottom of the window to scroll left or right and highlight each number. Use the key adjacent to 
“Enter Sensor Span” to enter the number. When complete, the menu will automatically change to the 
previous menu. To exit the routine without changes, press the key adjacent to “Exit”. 

Note: Measurements must be entered in degrees and tenths (xx.xx). If necessary, recorded 
measurements must be converted before starting.
