Before You BeginThe GS550 Underhook creates a two-way radio network with the sensors to bring required lift data to the operator. Hoist load can be detected and then indicated to the operator in real time. Furthermore the GS550 Underhook can be programmed to generate warnings and alarms, all triggered by adjustable thresholds and limits. The exact operational function of the GS550 Underhook system depends on the sensor configuration used.1.1 Introduction

GS550 UNDERHOOK10 ChApTEr 4: SETup4.2a How to Add a Sensor to the GS550 Underhook1. Determine the radio identification number (ID) of the sensor to be added. This number between 10000 and 999999 is engraved on the sensor.2. Go to menu page 4A1).3. Advance to the next empty sensor position in the sensor list. Press Next repeatedly until the LCD shows “No sensor” on the bottom line. Up to four (4) load cells and one (1) summation may be added to the sensor list. 4. The ID number should flash; this means it is adjustable. Use Up and Down to program each sensor ID. 5. Press Next. 6. The sensor type (“No sensor”) should flash; this means it is adjustable. Use Up and Down to select the sensor type.7. Press Enter to save any changes made to the sensor list.8. Press Exit three times to return to the main operation display.4.1 Sum Load IndicationWhen sum load indication is programmed the sum of the loads on the pre-determined load sensors is indicated by the operation display. To activate sum load indication program a “Sum load cell” in the sensor list. The “ID number” is used to identify the load sensors to be summed.Sum maximum limit. The maximum limit for the sum load can be adjusted in the limit menu; the default maximum limit for sum load indication is 10,000 lbs or 4,535 kg.Program sum load indication:1. Go to menu 4A1) Sensor list.2. Press Next repeatedly to advance to the next available sensor position, usually following the four load sensors.3. Determine the sum load cell “ID number”. For example: ID 1234 to indicate the sum of load sensors No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, or ID 34 to indicate the sum of load sensors No. 3 and No. 4.4. Use Up and Down to adjust the ID number.5. Press Next.6. The sensor type should flash; use Up and Down to select the sensor type “Sum load cell.” 7. Press Enter to save any changes.8. Press Next to program the imbalance sensor or press Exit three times to return to the operation display.9. Adjust the sum maximum limit in the limit menu.4.2 Sensor ListAll sensors in the GS550 Underhook system are programmed in the sensor list. The GS550 Underhook uses information from all sensors in the sensor list. Conversely the GS550 Underhook will not use or display information from sensors that are not programmed to the sensor list. If a sensor is removed from the crane then it must be removed from the sensor list. If a sensor is replaced the sensor list must be updated with the new ID number.4: SETUPTO ENSurE COmmuNiCATiON, SENSOrS muST BE AT LEAST SiX FEET FrOm ThE gS550 uNdErhOOK diSpLAy.NOTE✓pRessIng the up and down buttons sImultaneously wIll go dIRectly to a paRtIculaR numbeR:prESSEd ONCE: TO NumBEr 30000prESSEd TwiCE: TO NumBEr 25000prESSEd ThrEE TimES: TO NumBEr 0NOTE✓
GS550 UNDERHOOK11ChApTEr 4: SETup4.2b How to Remove a Sensor from the GS550 Underhook1. Determine the sensor to be removed. If more than one sensor of the same type has been added to the sensor list then determine the radio identification number (ID) of the sensor to be removed before proceeding. A sensor ID number between 10000 and 999999 is engraved on each sensor.2. Go to menu page 4A1).3. Press Next repeatedly to advance to the page of the sensor list showing the ID of the sensor to be removed.4. The sensor ID should flash, press Next, the sensor type should flash; this means it is adjustable. Use Up and Down to select “No sensor”. This will remove the sensor from the sensor list but retain the sensor ID.5. Press Enter to save any changes made.6. Press Exit three times to return to the display.Figure: Menu 1A) - the sensor list4.3 Password SettingsTwo levels of access are available: administrator and user. The administrator password is required to change the user password. In the event both the administrator and the user passwords are lost please call LSI-Robway technical support. Menus accessible from the operation display can be individually protected by the user password.1. Go to menu 4H1) Set administrator password.2. Menu 4H1) Set administrator password: Press Next three times to advance to the set user password page or, to change the administrator password, use Up and Down to adjust the flashing letter and then use Next to advance to the next letter.

GS550 UNDERHOOK12 ChApTEr 4: SETup4.4 Data LoggerThe GS550 Underhook includes a data logger that records all significant events including actual sensor values and a date and time stamp. The data logger memory can hold over 16,000 records, equivalent to several days or several years of operation depending on the recording mode selected and machine use. The data can be extracted using a USB mass storage device (USB key) and then transferred to a personal computer for analysis.4.4a Recording Modes1. Go to menu 4F1) Data logger mode.2. Use Up and Down to select the data logger recording mode.3. Automatic modes only: press Next to advance to the adjustment page for the interval (automatic recording mode), variation (automatic variation recording mode), or threshold (automatic peak recording mode).4. Press Enter to save any changes.5. Press Exit three times to return to the operation display or press Next to adjust the data logger. Adjust the data logger recording mode as required:Recording Modes description:Alarm only: Record alarms only. All the other data logger modes also record alarms.All data: All communications between a display and its sensors are recorded.User input: This option is not available for the GS550 Underhook.Automatic peak: In the automatic peak mode the data logger analyzes the measured weight and records the peak value only. One threshold per load cell must be adjusted. When the weight drops by more than the peak threshold the peak weight is recorded. Only one event is recorded for each pick when the threshold is adjusted correctly. When the automatic peak data logger mode is selected on menu 4F1 (see step 3 above) press Next to go to menu 4F1) and then use Up and Down to adjust the peak threshold for the first load cell. Press Next to repeat for the second load cell etc. Up to four load cells can be programmed for automatic peak data logging.Automatic recording: A record is added at a specified interval. When the automatic recording data logger mode is selected on menu 4F1 (see step 3 above) press Next to go to menu 4F11) and then use Up and Down to adjust the record interval in seconds.Automatic variation: A record is added when load increases by more than the operator adjusted percentage. When the automatic variation data logger mode is selected on menu 4F1 (see step 3 above) press Next to go to menu 4F11) and then use Up and Down to adjust the variation threshold.4.4b Date and TimeAdjust the data logger date and time as required:1. Go to menu 4F2) Adjust date.2. The last two digits of the year should be flashing: use Up and Down to adjust the year.3. Press Next to adjust the month.4. Use Up and Down to adjust the month.5. Press Next to adjust the day.6. Use Up and Down to adjust the day.7. Press Next to adjust the time.8.
