2 COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
2.1
Series 1-L Display
The display unit utilizes a 4 LED indication of tipping moment based on 50 to 105 % of the
Alarm threshold. (As default, this is set to 66% of the hydraulic limit of the machine).
Indicates 105% of Alarm threshold
Indicates 100% of Alarm threshold
Indicates 75% of Alarm threshold
Indicates 50% of Alarm threshold
Indicates System Power is ON
Test Button:
When pressed and held, will make the LEDs
cycle from 50% green through to 105% RED
2.2
Angle Sensor
The Angle sensor should be fitted to the first excavator boom and
connected to the pressure transducer that is fitted to the main lift rams.
The sensor is connected to the display via a M12 0CAN bus cable. An LED
on the Angle Sensor flashes green to show that it is powered and working
correctly. Where possible, ensure that the green LED on the Angle Sensor
is visible during operation to show the Angle Sensor is working correctly.
2.3
Pressure Transducer
A pressure transducer is used to monitor the forward hydraulic pressure
in the boom lift ram. The pressure sensor connects to the angle sensor
module by a 4 way M12 cable. The forward pressure reading directly relates
to the load lifted by the machine. The sensor measures up to 400 Bar.
A second pressure transducer may be required to monitor the reverse side pressure ( rod
side ) for additional pressure compensation.
2.4 CAN to USB Interface
A USB to CAN Converter Interface is used to allow a PC to communicate
with the Series 1-L during initial set-up and for later monitoring purposes.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ENSURE USB DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED
FOR THE USB TO CAN CONVERTER. SEE GKD USB DRIVER
