Installation Procedures – Main Boom Sensor
Boom Sensor
• Find a suitable location on the boom that is near the cab to install the
Boom Sensor. You are looking for a spot that is easy to access when
installing or removing the sensor day to day. On smaller machines this
is commonly in the lower 1/3 of the boom on the left hand side of the
machine. On larger machines where the boom is much higher you can
mount the Sensor on the right hand side where access is much easier.
Do not install on an inclined or angled section of the boom.
• You will want the bracket to be mounted so that the clips on the
Sensor are facing down. This makes it easier to remove the sensor.
• Suitably clean the area with Brake Cleaner and wipe dry. Clean the
surface of the boom as well as the back of the mounting bracket with
the 3M VHB wipes after completely cleaning the surface. They are not
intended to clean but they accelerate setting the glue of the 3M tape.
Attach the 3M double sided tape to the bracket and then stick your
sensor plate on firmly and press for 30 seconds. The adhesive bond
will strengthen over time.
