1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
1.3 Product description
The GS22X series of products are in many ways
similar to a display in that they act as a base station
for LSI’s GS series line of wireless sensors.
However they are not limited to crane applications
but can also be used in a wide range of industrial
process monitoring situations. There is no integrated
display; the system is intended for bridging LSI’s
wireless sensors onto an existing automotive or
industrial automation network. Depending on the
derivative, the GS22X bridges onto a CAN bus or a
RS232. The primary way of configuring sensors into
the system is via a USB cable and end user PC
software.
GS220 (Wireless to PC bridge)

1.2 Start-Up
The GS22X series products have been programmed
for the sensors supplied in the shipping box. The
GS22X powers up with its green lights flashing, this
indicates that the receiver is waking up programmed
sensors and creating a radio communication link
with each. Once a reliable radio communication
network is established, the green light will turn off
and flash only when communicating with sensors.
This process may take up to 60 seconds.

3.1 GS22X Installation
It is recommended to install the receiver on the right
side or left side of the cab, usually on the same side
as the wind speed sensor. The best positioning
would ensure line of sight in most boom position. If
line of sight is not always possible, position
optimisation could help improve the radio link, which
improves battery life. If possible, do not hide the
receiver behind metal structure.
Figure: GS22X dimensions. Not to scale.
3.1a Antenna Position
For optimal performance the antenna should be
positioned on its side such that it is parallel to
the sensor antennas (but not pointing directly to or
directly away from them).
1. Adjust the antenna position with the articulating base.
2. The antenna should have 5 inches of clear
space all around it.
3. The antenna should have an unobstructed line of
sight to all sensor antennas at all boom angles.
The GS22X System
3.2 Load Cell
! WARNING!
Capacity and safety factor for
load cells and adapter plate assemblies are
calculated for loads along the intended axis
of load (vertical with the assembly hanging
free); side loading may cause load cell and
adapter plate assembly to fail, causing load to
drop. Lifts must be rigged such that the load
cell and adapter plate assembly hang free and
not be subjected to side loading.
4. In all cases the washers must be placed
symmetrically such that the load cell is centered
on the pins to avoid uneven loading.
5. Secure the pins with the nuts and cotter pins
provided.
6. A qualified (lift supervisor or crane inspector)
person must verify every lift assembly before
first use and periodically thereafter (one to
twelve months), including before any new,
difficult or otherwise different lift.
! CAUTION!
The load cell must be centered
on the pins to avoid uneven loading on the
plate kit assembly.
! IMPORTANT!
The load cell antenna should
not be in contact with metal.
IMPORTANT! For optimal performance and
signal reception, the load cell antenna should
have a clear line of sight to the GS22X base
station.
IMPORTANT! The load cell antenna should
point to the left or to the right of the boom; it
should not point directly to, or away from, the
GS22X base station.
1. Install load cell bushings as supplied by LSI .
Assembly of the load cell and adapter plates
must be configured to the pin size required by
the specific dead end or hook to which it is to be
attached. In all cases, the bushings supplied by
LSI must be used where possible to adapt the
holes in the load cell to the pins. Bushings must
be secured with the two allen screws provided,
one on each side of the load cell.
2. As required, place a washer between adapter
plate and pin head or nut on each end of the pin
that links the adapter plates to the load cell.
Additional washers should be added equally to
each end of the pin as required to inhibit
excessive lateral movement of load cell
(maximum 1/8” total movement) and adapter
plates along the pin.

3.3 Angle Sensors for the
Boom or Jib
IMPORTANT! Keep the angle sensor away
from the boom and any connecting metal
structures when welding the metal lugs to the
boom. Proximity to welding may cause
permanent damage to the angle sensor and
prevent accurate angle indication.
3.3a Mounting Procedure
The GS010 series angle sensors can be turned on
by starting up the GS22X base station to which they
are programmed. The angle sensor can then assist
in levelling itself with the red and green LED.
Cabin

d. The top / bottom axis of the angle sensor
must be within 15 degrees of vertical
e. The angle sensor should have a clear line
of sight to the cabin mounted display.
f. The angle sensor antenna should not
contact a metal object.
2. Install the welding pads; keep the angle sensor
at least three feet from the weld site and any
connecting metal objects while welding.
5. If the angle displayed by a GS010-01 boom
angle sensor is a high negative value, then tilt
the angle sensor up over 45 degrees, and then
tilt back down to horizontal. The GS010-01
boom angle sensor will automatically detect on
which side of the boom it is installed and correct
angle indication accordingly.

1. Determine the angle sensor position.
WARNING! The angle reading may be
affected by vibration and may fluctuate; the
angle sensor should not be installed in close
proximity to a high RPM electric motor or other
source of high frequency vibration.

CL
Boom
a. The GS010-01 boom angle sensor can
be mounted on either side of the boom.
The GS22X must be connected to a computer to
proceed with calibration procedure.
1. Level the boom such that it is perfectly
horizontal; use a high quality bubble or digital
angle sensor. If the GS22X base station
indicates 0.0 degrees then angle calibration is
complete; if not then continue to step 2.
! WARNING!
Failure to ensure the boom is
levelled will result in false reading of the
crane’s radius hence the risk of structural
failure of the crane or crane tipping over.
Note: Press Update Node Status in the WRCM PC
user interface to display the current angle value.
2. For GS011 angle/length sensors only: Carefully
remove the cover of the GS101 cable reel.
3. Loosen the mounting screw in the slotted hole
of the angle sensor mounting plate.
The GS22X System
4. Pivot the angle sensor slightly until angle
indication is correct. Repeat the angle validation
(step 1) as required.
3.4 Anti-Two-Block Switch
! WARNING!
Keep the anti-two-block switch
away from the boom and any connecting
metal structures when welding mounting
brackets to the boom. Proximity to welding
may cause permanent damage to the antitwo-block switch and render the anti-twoblock system unsafe.
3.3c Angle Calibration Procedure
№ 2: Correct with the GS22X
The GS22X must be connected to a computer to
proceed with calibration procedure.
Calibrate angle indication by adjusting the trim
(offset) value in the WRCM PC user interface; the
GS22X will then communicate the updated trim
value to the sensor.
1. Position the boom at a precisely known angle.
2. Adjust the trim value in the WRCM.
Example: If angle indicated is 0.3° over the actual
angle, adjust the trim value to -0.3.
Example: If angle indicated is 0.9° below the actual
angle, adjust the trim value to 0.9.
3. Verify accurate angle indication at both very
high and very low angles.
IMPORTANT! To ensure reliable radio
communication between the anti-two-block
switch and the GS22X base station the
following conditions must be respected:
• The antenna of the anti-two-block switch
should not be in contact with metal.
• The anti-two-block switch antenna should
point to the left or to the right of the boom;
it should not point directly to, or away from,
the GS22X base station.
• The anti-two-block switch antenna should
have a clear line of sight to the GS22X base
station; in most cases this means mounting
the sensor on the same side of the boom as
the operator's cab.
Verify the anti-two-block switch is programmed to
the GS22X base station. Switches shipped with
GS22X are pre-programmed in the factory. Test: if
the switch has been programmed to the display
then the display will go in to two-block alarm when
the wire rope of the switch is released. If the switch
has not been programmed to the GS22X, this
should be done before proceeding with installation.
See the section 2.4 Nodes Configuration.
3.4a GS050 Installation
1. Position the sensor mounting bracket. To
ensure that the sensor can pivot securely on the
mounting bracket throughout the full range of
boom angle, the mounting bracket must be
positioned at a 30° from horizontal with the
boom parallel to the ground and such that the
locking pin of the mounting bracket points up.
Bolt or weld securely.

least ten feet (three metres) from the tip of the
first section and where the cable reel won’t
obstruct free boom movement at all boom
angles and slew positions. Furthermore, the
reel must be placed such that the cable has a
clear straight line to the end of the last section
at all boom lengths.

3.5a Maximum Boom Extension
Confirm the maximum extension of the LS101 cable
reel is compatible with the maximum boom length.
Step 1. Note the cable reel maximum extension: 100 feet
(30.5 metres) unless specified otherwise.
T = ____________________
Step 2. Note the retracted boom length.
A = ____________________
Step 3. Note the maximum extended boom length, not

Step 4. Calculate maximum boom extension.
C = B – A =____________________
Step 5. Compare cable reel maximum extension (T) to
maximum boom extension (C).
D = T – C =____________________
Maximum cable reel extension must be greater
than maximum boom extension.
2. Mount the welding tabs. They must be placed
parallel to each other, with 16 1/8” inches
between the holes’ centres. Install the tabs such
that they create a level mounting position in line
with the boom at 0 degrees.
Note: When factory installed, the GS011
angle/length sensor transmitter is integrated to the
LS101 cable reel with the angle sensor zeroed. If
the cable reel is installed perfectly level on the
boom at 0 degrees, the angle sensor of the GS011
will also be zeroed. Minor adjustments to the angle
sensor (within plus or minus two degrees) are
possible after cable reel installation.
3. Attach the reel to the welding tabs with the bolts
provided.
4. Install the first cable guide (PA111) about 10 feet (3
metres) from the cable reel. Correct alignment of
the first guide is critical to ensure orderly winding
of the cable on the reel. Install the other guides at
the end of each of the intermediate sections and
the anchor (PA113) at the end of the last section.
All guides must be aligned so as to permit
unobstructed movement of the cable.
5. Pull out at least 5 feet (1-1/2 metres) of cable,
but not more than half the excess extension of

5.3 Replacing a Sensor
Antenna
Heavily damaged antennas (ripped out, sheared off,
wire exposed and fraying etc.) should be replaced
to ensure effective communication between the
sensor and the cabin mounted display unit.
This procedure may be followed without removing the
sensor from the crane if it is safe to do so. If removed,
an angle sensor must be re-calibrated during
reinstallation for correct angle display (see the angle
sensor installation section of the user’s manual).
IMPORTANT! The interior of the sensor
must be protected from dust, grime and water
at all times.
1. Place the crane, boom, jib or ball hook such that
the sensor is safely accessible.
2. Clean dust, grime and water from the sensor.

5.4c Care
5.4 Load Cells
WARNING! Heavy shock may affect load
indication accuracy. Inspect the load cell
regularly for clearly visible dents or
scratches. Test the load indication if collision
damage is visible.
5.4a Reading Accuracy
LSI flat bar load links are pre-calibrated at the
factory. No “zeroing” or other calibration is required
on installation. Each link is heat treated to age the
steel and ensure stable readings for many years; the
load cells are individually temperature compensated
to guarantee accuracy. LSI flat bar load links are
calibrated to indicate between 100% and 104% of
their Safe Working Load (SWL).
LSI load pins, line riding tensiometers and
compression cells must be calibrated at installation
and every time thereafter the installation, the load
sensor or the transmitter is changed.
SAE J 159 4.2.1 recommends load indicating
devices should show not less than 100% of the
actual load and not more than 110% of the actual
load.
5.4b Load Testing
LSI recommends testing the load cell every year for
accuracy. The simplest way of testing a load cell is to
lift at least two known weights. A test weight should be
known with an accuracy of ±1%. If the load cell is
installed at the boom tip dead end, all additional
equipment such as blocks, slings, sensors, etc. should
also be known to an accuracy of ±1%.
Determine the accuracy of the tested system with
the following formula:
Battery. Lithium batteries older than 18 months old
(alkaline batteries over 6 months old) should be
changed at the first available planned inspection
even if there is not yet a low battery warning. This
will avoid costly delays in the field.
Corrosion. Verify that no corrosion is visible on the
battery holder inside the load cell transmitter. If some
trace of corrosion is visible, rub it off gently and put
a small amount of dielectric grease* on each battery
holder post to protect the contacts.
Mechanical stresses. Verify the load cell sides for
dents or heavy scratches. The side of the load cell
under the transmitter box is the most sensitive
region. Engraving a number in this area will affect
load cell accuracy and reliability. If the transmitter
box has been hit and the box does not fit perfectly to
the underlying link, please call LSI to have it
repaired. Engraving on the transmitter box sides will
not affect reading.
Seal. If the transmitter box has been removed it
must be correctly resealed with RTV non-corrosive
silicone.
Antenna. Small scratches on the antenna will not
affect radio communications. A heavy bending of the
antenna or bare sections on the wire may reduce
the radio efficiency.
Hex bolts. The hex head bolts on the transmitter
box are there to protect the antenna and to hold the
transmitter box on the load cell link. If one or both
hex nuts are scratched, it will not affect the load cell
readings or operation. If the bolt head is bent or
sheared verify that the transmitter box fits tightly to
the load cell link before contacting LSI for
replacement bolts.
Indicated Load
X 100 = % of Load
Actual Load
(Reference: SAE-J-159 7.3)
The test loads must be significantly relative to the
load cell capacity. The minimum test weight is
about 20% of the safe working load; a good test
weight is greater than 50% of the SWL. For
example, a 30 000 lb load cell on four parts of line
has a SWL of 120 000 lb; the minimum test load in
this case would be 24 000 lb, a good test load
would be 60 000 lb or more.
