3.2 WG Angle Sensor
Angle sensor WG accurately measures the boom angle. The high sealed housing keeps the inside
component away from the influence of temperature, humidity etc.

Storing temperature: -40~+70
Protection class: IP65
Installation
The correct positioning is important for installing angle sensors.
The angle sensors are usually installed along the right side boom, at the inner side of boom base, if
it’s viewed from the boom base to boom tip. (as shown below).
Make sure the horizontal line of sensor is parallel to the horizontal center line of the boom. Adjust the
bolts of the sensor to reduce the angle deviation between actual measured boom angle and displayed
boom angle on the console.
