Features
Cable reel with 32 ft. (10 m) of wire rope to measure
length
Length resolution: 0.1 ft. (30 mm)
Length accuracy: 0.1 ft. (30 mm)
Angle resolution: 0.1°
Angle accuracy: typical: 0.2°
Angle range (GS110): -90° to +130°
Angle range (GS110-02): 0° to 360°
Measurement is optimized for crane movements; both
the boom angle and the boom length are measured four
times per second.
The GS110 can be installed on either side of the main
boom; the sensor automatically rights itself.
Radio range with line of sight: 4000 ft. (1300 m)
Operates with one 'D' cell battery lithium 3.6V or
alkaline 1.5V.
1 to 2 years battery life for typical applications
ISM license free radio; wavelength and modulation
optimized for radio communication in industrial
environments.
Temperature range: -35°C to 65°C (-35°F to 150°F)
Temperature compensated
Potted electronics for increased water proof protection
Applications
Measurement of crane boom length and of crane boom
angle to horizontal. The wire rope can be fixed at the
boom tip for the complete boom length measurement.
For boom lengths longer than 32 ft., the wire rope can
be attached to the end of the first extending boom
section, with the condition that all boom sections must
always extend proportionally and at the same time.
General Description
The cable reel has more than 32 ft. (10 m) of extendable,
spring loaded, wire rope. The extremity of the wire rope
should be fixed to the extremity of the length to be
measured. The cable reel ships with an anchor and cable
guides.
The transmitter box on top of the cable reel houses the
battery, the radio transmitter and the solid state
accelerometer-based angle sensor.

Application Notes
The angle sensor in the GS110 automatically detects on which side of the boom it is installed when the boom angle is less than
45° to horizontal. For knuckle booms and other applications where the boom angle may go beyond the -90° to +130° range of the
GS110, the GS110-02 with 360° angle sensor should be used. Left or right side installation must be specified when ordering the
GS110-02.

Cable reel placement: find a clear mounting position on the cab side of the first (lower) section of the main boom. The mounting
position should be close to the base of the boom; at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the tip of the first section and where the cable reel

mounting position in line with the boom when horizontal (0°). Correct alignment of the first guide is important 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 at the end
of the last section. All guides must be aligned so as to permit unobstructed movement of the cable. Proceed with length
calibration.
The angle sensor is pre-calibrated and temperature compensated; see the installation section in the user manual for details.
