Proximity Switch (For optional Restricted Slew Zone feature)
The Proximity Switch is used as a “Slew Reset” switch for the Encoder. The Slew Angle defaults back
to its initial set value each time the Proximity Switch is activated (switched ON).
The switch is magnetically switched and requires a metal target to switch ON. Fabricate, fix and
secure a suitable mounting plate to the switch between the two locknuts supplied. Mount the plate at a
suitable location on the revolving upperstructure preferably so that the switch moves and rotates with
the upperstructure (see typical installation below). LSI-Robway recommends that this switch be
located so that it corresponds with the rest position of the crane so that the slew system is reset on
every crane start-up. The target plate must be mounted at a suitable location on the fixed post or
centre post about which the upperstructure rotates.
The gap between the switch and target must not exceed 10mm. The switch distance can be adjusted
via the locknuts.
The switch is wired through the Slew Encoder box.
