STEP 12: INSTALL LEVEL SENSOR
Preferred Sensor Location Near Center of the Lift
The hoist comes with a sensor to keep it level when lifting and lowering.
Proper placement of the sen-
sor is critical.
It should be mounted as close as possible to the center of gravity of the lift as illustrated
below. Mount the sensor just outside the bunk pad, on the flat portion of the Cross Channel that is
parallel to the water
’
s surface.
1.
The sensor should be through
-
bolted to the mounting plate with the supplied #6
3/8”
self
-
tapping screws.
2.
The sensor assembly should be oriented so the
sensor is mounted FACE UP on the cross beam with the cable
exiting the sensor aft of the lift.
3.
Use
zip ties to hold the sensor assembly to the cross beam, and then fasten the assembly to the beam using the
supplied #6 self
-
tapping screws.
The zip ties are only used to fixture the sensor in place while fastening it.
4.
Secure the sensor cable to the frame using zip ties to prevent damage during operation.
The sensor should be positioned as shown with the control cable exiting towards
rear of the lift. The sensor is waterproof and can be submerged during operation.
