58 The GS550 System
The Sensor List
All sensors in the GS550 system are programmed in the sensor list. The GS550 uses information
from all sensors in the sensor list. Conversely the GS550 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.

Tip: To ensure communication sensors must be at least six feet from the GS550 display.
How to Add a Sensor to the GS550
1. Determine the radio identification number (id) of the sensor to be added. This number between
10000 and 99999 is engraved on the sensor.
2. Press Menu → Next → Next → Next → Enter → Enter to go to menu page 4A1).
3. Advance to the next empty sensor position in the sensor list. Press Next repeatedly until the
LCD shows “No sensor” on the bottom line. Up to 32 sensors may be added to the sensor list.
4. The id number should flash; this means it is adjustable. Use Up and Down to program the
sensor id.
Tip: Press Up and Down simultaneously to make the sensor id number jump directly to 15000.
Press Up and Down simultaneously again to make the sensor id number jump directly to 10000.
Press Up and Down simultaneously a third time to make the sensor id number jump directly to 0.
5. Press Next.
6. The sensor type (“No sensor”) should flash; this means it is adjustable. Use Up and Down to
select the sensor type.
7. Press Enter to save any changes made to the sensor list.
8. Press Exit three times to return to the operation display.
