2.15 Sensor List
Sensor List
All sensors in the GS820 system are programmed
in the sensor list. The GS820 uses information from
all sensors in the sensor list. Conversely the
GS820 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.
2.15a How to Add a Sensor to the
GS820
1. Determine the radio identification number (ID) of

2.16 Network Options
Network Options
2.16a Listen Only Mode
When the GS820 is started it normally wakes up
the sensors in the sensor list and takes control of
them. The last display powered on that is
programmed for a sensor becomes that sensor’s
network controller. This means that if a second
display is programmed for a sensor, it will take
control of it; the sensor will no longer acknowledge
communication from the first display. Occasionally
it may be useful to monitor an installed system from
a remote display without disrupting the existing
network. The GS820 can be programmed to
operate in “listening mode”. In this mode the
GS820 will display information from programmed
sensors without becoming the network controller.
IMPORTANT!
Information displayed from
load, angle and boom length sensors that are
not correctly installed will not be accurate.
IMPORTANT!
Rated capacity, radius, and
tip height based on information from angle
and boom length sensors that are not
correctly installed will not be accurate.
Note: To ensure communication, sensors must be
at least six feet from the GS820 display.

3.6 Rated Capacity Indicators
Rated Capacity Indicators
The GS820 can be programmed to assist the
operator by indicating the working load limit (WLL)
from the crane specific rated capacity charts
according to the angle and radius information
received from the boom mounted sensors.
3.6a Display Programming
In order to indicate WLL the GS820 must be
programmed with a valid rated capacity chart
specific to the crane. The capacity chart
programmed can be verified in the Information
menu: press Menu and select “8) INFORMATION”
(press Exit to return to the operation display).
3.6b Crane Rigging
Under no circumstances is the GS820 a substitute
for safe operating practices. The operator must fully
understand the crane rigging and the crane rated
capacity chart to be able to correctly set the GS820
for rated capacity indication. The GS820 will not
take into account critical variables such as weather,
ground and crane conditions that will reduce the
safe working capacity of the crane.
3.6c Chart Wizard
Rated capacity indication is based on interpretation
of a selected capacity chart using boom angle and
load radius. The chart must be selected by “rigging”
the working hoist in the GS820; this is done by
following the chart wizard in menu 2) CRANE RIGGING.
1. Go to menu 2) CRANE RIGGING and press Enter
to start the chart wizard.
2. The first page of the chart wizard is “select
hoist”. Use Up and Down to select the hoist
and press Enter. If there is only one load
sensor in the system select “MAIN”. With two or
more load sensors in the system the main hoist
is associated with the first load sensor in the
sensor list; the auxiliary hoist is associated with
the second sensor in the sensor list etc.
3. The steps that follow will depend on the size
and complexity of the rated capacity chart itself.
Typical steps include chart selection, outrigger
/ on rubber selection and boom length selection
(lattice cranes only). Use Up and Down to
select from the list of choices and then press
Enter to advance to the next step. For accurate
rated capacity indication the rigging
configuration selected in the chart wizard must
reflect the actual rigging of the working sheave.
IMPORTANT!
It is possible to leave the
chart wizard at any time by pressing
BYPASS/EXIT;the GS820 will display the
message “RIGGING ABORTED”. Current capacity
chart selection may have changed, possibly
changing the rated capacity indicated by the
GS820. Always complete the chart wizard all
the way to the “Rigging ok” message before
operating the crane.
!
!
IMPORTANT!
If the chart number
information screen says “CHART NOT
AVAILABLE”, no chart is loaded in the GS820
and “CHART NOT USED”, the GS820 has not
been programmed to function as a rated
capacity indicator. If rated capacity indication
is required contact the person responsible for
the GS820 system installation and maintenance.
If in doubt, contact LSI

5.3 Replacing a Sensor
Replacing a Sensor
Antenna
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).
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.
3. Identify the short black whip antenna and the
white hex bolt securing it.
4. Inspect the antenna for signs of obvious
physical damage.
5. Carefully unscrew the white nylon hex bolt
completely and slide it up the antenna.
6. Grip the antenna by the base of the black plastic
sheathing and pull it straight out of the hole in
which it is seated. Place the old antenna aside.
7. Slide the white nylon hex bolt to the middle of
the length of the new antenna.
8. Coat the exposed metal foot of the new antenna
with an electrical insulating compound by
carefully inserting it in the mouth of the
compound tube.
9. Hold the new antenna by the black plastic
sheathing and guide it through the hole in the
sensor box. Carefully seat the antenna in its
mating connector. When the antenna is
correctly seated, pulling on it will be met with
light resistance.
10.Carefully re-thread, screw-in and tighten the
white nylon hex bolt to secure the antenna in
place. Do not overtighten.
11. Reinstall the sensor if necessary (if removed
from the boom or jib, an angle sensor will
require re-calibration during the installation
procedure, see the angle sensor installation
section of the user’s manual).
12.Verify that the sensor functions properly.

5.4 Load Cells
Load Cells
5.4a Reading Accuracy
LSI
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
LSI flat bar load links are
calibrated to indicate between 100% and 104% of
their Safe Working Load (SWL).
LSI
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
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:
(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.
5.4c Care
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
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
LSI for
replacement bolts.
Indicated Load
Actual Load X 100 = % of Load
* Dow Corning dielectric grease № 4
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.
