1.1 Overview
1.1 Overview
The anti-two-block indicator kit includes a GS375
display and one or two wireless anti-two-block
switches. The GS375 creates a two-way radio
network with the anti-two-block(s) to monitor status.
When an anti-two-block switch goes from safe to
alarm condition, the GS375 will activate its alarm
and lockout wires within 0.05 seconds. The lockout
wire can be connected to a relay to block crane
functions such as boom out or hoist up.
1.2 Start-Up
1.2 Start-Up
On power up, the display will take between 5 and
10 seconds to communicate with the anti-two-block
switch(es) it controles. After this period, the main
hoist green light should light up steady. If it still
flashes after 30 seconds, it means communication
is not established. See the section on changing
batteries later in this manual, or the section on
changing ID numbers if the switch has been
changed.
The auxiliary hoist green light works the same as
the main hoist green light, but it applies to the
second anti-two-block switch, if present. The
auxiliary hoist green light will stay “off” if the display
is not programmed to communicate with a second
anti-two-block switch.

2.1a Mounting Bracket
1. Determine the mounting location; the display
may be installed either inside or outside the
cab. It can be mounted on the dash, on a
sidewall, or on the ceiling of the cab. To ensure
reliable radio communication between anti-
two-block switch and the GS375, the
antenna should not be in contact with metal
and should have a direct and clear line of
sight to the sensor antenna. The mounting
bracket requires a flat surface of at least 2.5
inches in diameter on both sides and where the
back of the surface is accessible in order to
tighten the nuts.
2. Drill 1/4 inch boltholes through the mounting
surface with a 1/4 inch bit following either the
two, three, or the four holes configuration.
3. Install the display with bolts. Add washers and lock
nut behind the mounting surface and tighten
sufficiently (bolts, nuts and washers not included).
4. Loosen the wing nut of the bracket arm to adjust
display orientation to facilitate viewing by the
operator and then tighten it back up.

IMPORTANT! Do not crack or puncture
the membrane fascia. The GS375 display is
splash and rain proof. Waterproofing depends in
part on the integrity of the membrane.
IMPORTANT! Do not power wash the
display. The GS375 display is not designed to
withstand high-pressure washing devices that
can erode the membrane fascia seal or create
fissures in the membrane fascia. Power washing
the display voids warranty coverage.
!
!
Note: If the nuts are on the outside of the cab,
caulk with silicone between the washers and the
cab to prevent water entry.
WARNING! Installation must be made in
compliance with LSI

2.1b Antenna Position
For optimal performance the antenna should be
positioned on its side such that it is parallel to
the sensor antenna (but not pointing directly to or
directly away from it).
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.
2.1c Power Supply and Lockout
Connection
1. Connect the blue wire (ground) to the negative
terminal of the battery or the panel connection;
alternatively bolt the blue wire to the body of the
machine with a 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch bolt. The
ground connection must be strong enough to
sustain 3 amperes.
2. Connect the red wire to a fused accessory
source, rated at least 3 amperes, that supplies
+12 or +24 volts when the machine is in use.
The GS375 will automatically detect the voltage
level and adjust itself.
3. Lockout wire (if required): connect the green
wire to a Bosch relay coil terminal. Connect the
other coil terminal of the relay to the ground.
When in alarm, the green wire will energize at
the battery positive level.
Current over 1 ampere on the green wire
triggers an auto re-settable fuse. Current flow
will resume several seconds after the short
circuit is eliminated.

Verify the anti-two-block switch is programmed to
the GS375 display. Switches shipped with displays
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. Press Bypass
to silence the alarm until the next two-block event
or simulation. If the switch has not been
programmed to the display, this should be done
before proceeding with installation. See the section
3.1 Set the ID Number.
2.2a 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.
If the head sheave diameter is between 8 and 16
inches (20-41 centimetres) then two mounting
brackets will be required to permit both live and dead
end mounting.

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 anti-
two-block switch and render the anti-two-
block system unsafe.
!
!
IMPORTANT! To ensure reliable radio
communication between the anti-two-block
switch and the GS375 display 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 GS375 display.
• The anti-two-block switch antenna should
have a clear line of sight to the GS375
display; in most cases this means mounting
the sensor on the same side of the boom as
the operator's cab.

block switch mounting bracket directly below the
sheave center as low and as close to the edge of
the sheave as possible. Place the fast line weight
mounting bracket on the opposite side of the
sheave with the chain hole pointing down and lined
up opposite the pivot of the anti-two-block switch
mounting bracket.
2. Mount the GS050 on the bracket and verify that
the GS050 can rotate freely through all possible
boom movements without being able to come
off the bracket.
3. Install the weight and chain assembly around
the cable and attach the other end of the chain
to the GS050. Tighten all the chain links of the
chain assembly.
4. Adjust chain length as required, see sub-section

distance must be great enough to allow
the operator and the lockout system, if
installed, to prevent a two-block event. If
necessary, add chain between the sensor
and weight to increase warning distance.
If still insufficient, contact your service
representative.
2. Chain length adjustment № 2 – maximum boom

10 The GS375 System The GS375 System
In normal operation, the GS375 display should
indicate one or two steady green lights, depending
if one or two anti-two-block switches are installed.
3.1
3.1 Set the ID Number Set the ID Number
Complete systems ship with the display and
switch(es) pre-programmed together.
Replacement components may also be pre-
programmed. However, if a display must be
programmed on site two methods are available.
3.1a Manually Set the ID Number -
Procedure № 1
Follow this procedure when the switch is not
installed on the boom. Summary: re-set the switch
with the display in learning mode.
1. Press the Bypass & Test buttons
simultaneously until the display beeps (about 5
seconds). The “main hoist” light will flash, to
indicate that a new main hoist anti-two-block
can be registered.
2. Remove the battery from the main hoist anti-
two-block switch and then re-insert the battery.
The display should detect the new anti-two-
block switch: it will beep and register the new
ID number. The main hoist green light will stop
flashing, the auxiliary hoist green light will start
flashing. Repeat for the auxiliary hoist switch if
required, or press the Bypass button to exit the
learning mode.
3. Test the programmed switch(es) to ensure
the system functions as required.
3.1b Manually Set the ID Number -
Procedure № 2
Follow this procedure when the switch is already
installed on the boom. Summary: simulate repeated
two-blocks with the display in learning mode. Large
numbers of GS series sensors within radio range
may interfere with this method, especially if sensors
are in alarm. In this case Procedure № 1 may be
preferable.
1. Press the Bypass & Test buttons simultaneously
until the display makes a double beep, after
about 10 seconds (ignore the single beep after 5
seconds). The "main hoist" light will flash.
2. Wait 10 seconds; the display is now listening
ready to register a new main hoist anti-two-
block switch. Simulate repeated two-blocks with
the main hoist switch. The switch should
change state, from safe to alarm and back,
several times. The display beeps when the new
main hoist id number has been registered. The
auxiliary hoist light now flashes.
3. The display is now ready to register a new
auxiliary hoist anti-two-block switch. Repeat
two-block simulation with auxiliary hoist switch
if required, or press the Bypass button to exit
the learning mode.
4. Test all programmed systems for correct system
function.

LOAD SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC. (hereafter
“LSI LSI”) warrants its products (the “Products”), for a
period of twenty four (24) consecutive months after
delivery of such Products to the user (as evidenced
on a LSI LSI document) (the “Warranty Period”), when
installed and used in accordance with specifications
described in LSI LSI Installer and User’s Manual, as
amended from time to time , LSI LSI technical materials
and any related writings published by LSI LSI with
respect with such Products and any industry
standards, will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship. During the Warranty Period, LSI LSI or its
designated service representative shall repair, or at
its option, replace any Product that is confirmed to be
defective by LSI LSI, in its sole discretion, in accordance
with the Limited Warranty Services Procedures
described below.

6.2 Warranty Services Warranty Services
Procedures
Procedures
In order to benefit of this-mentioned Limited Warranty
coverages and benefits, the purchaser must notify
LSI
LSI’s customer service or LSI LSI’s authorized distributor
or representative originally responsible for the sale of
the Products within 10 days of the occurrence of a
suspected defect in materials or workmanship, prior
to the expiry of the Limited Warranty Period in order
to obtain a Return Authorization Number. A proof of
purchase of the Product, such as an invoice or a
receipt certifying the validity of the Warranty, must be
presented in order to obtain Limited Warranty
coverage. In any event, even if a Return Authorization
Number is provided to purchaser, LSI LSI reserves the
right to inspect the damaged Product or part before
the final decision of repairing or replacing the
defective Product or part.
The Product or part shall be returned to LSI LSI or its
designated service representative, accompanied by
the Return Authorization Number with prepaid
shipping charges. The purchaser must insure the
shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during
the shipment. Purchaser shall also pay any tariff or
duty applicable to the return of defective part or
Product. LSI LSI will, at its option, repair or replace the
Product or part returned to LSI LSI or to its designated
service representative. LSI LSI owns all parts or Products
replaced, repaired or removed from a repaired
Product. If LSI LSI repairs a Product, the Product
Warranty coverage Period is not extended and the
Limited Warranty shall expire as if uninterrupted upon
the occurrence of the 24th month from shipping from
LSI
LSI. If LSI LSI replaces a Product, the replaced Product
is warranted for the remainder of the original term or
sixty consecutive (60) days, whichever is longer.
LSI
LSI reserves the right to require from you the user or
owner of the Products, prior to determining if the Limited
Warranty coverage is applicable, that LSI LSI receive the
data logging equipment used with the Products and that
LSI
LSI be authorized to retrieve all information from such
data logging equipment in order to, among others,
ensure that the written instructions and applicable
standards, including safety margins, were respected
and not exceeded during Product use. Failure by you
the owner or user of the Product to supply such
information shall be deemed a material default of the
terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty and shall
be irrevocably construed as evidence that the Product
was misused or abused. Consequently LSI LSI shall
irrevocably be relieved of any obligations to
compensate you the user or owner of the Product for
any and all damages resulting from Product failures
when data logging equipment, and access to its
content, cannot be freely and readily provided,
unhampered, to LSI LSI.
LSI
LSI will pay ground freight transportation costs
of replacement or repaired parts or Products to
the destination in Canada and the continental
United States of America (the “Territory”). LSI LSI will
not pay any transportation costs of replacement
or repaired parts to destination outside of the
Territory. Shipping and handling costs to
locations outside the Territory shall be the
responsibility and borne by Purchaser or Owner
of the Product prior to any shipment by LSI LSI.
