December 2019 Service and Repair ManualBoom ComponentsPart No. 1268496GT SX™-150 674-7Boom Length SensorHow to Calibrate the PrimaryBoom Length SensorNote: Perform this procedure with the machine ona firm, level surface with the axles extended.Note: The turntable level sensor and platform loadsensor must be calibrated prior to calibrating theprimary boom angle sensor.Note: LTB1LO and LTB1LS are calibrated at thesame time.Note: The turntable level sensor, platform loadsensor and primary boom angle sensor must becalibrated before calibrating the boom lengthsensor.Note: Platform leveling is set to default parametersto avoid platform out of level faults duringcalibration.Note: If the calibration flags between SCON andTCON do not agree after calibration, a crosscheckfault is generated and recorded and the affectedboom function is inhibited.Note: Use the following chart to identify thedescription of each LCD screen control button usedin this procedure.Plus Minus Previous Enter1 With the boom in the stowed position, start theengine and fully raise the boom to itsmaximum angle.2 Push in the ground controls red EmergencyStop button to the off position.3 Turn the key switch to ground controls.4 Open the ground control box.5 Locate the calibration toggle switch at the topof the ground control box. Activate calibrationmode by moving the toggle switch in the leftdirection.6 Temporarily install a control box door retainingfastener between the door and the box toprevent the control box door from moving thetoggle switch while calibrating the machine.7 Remove the key from the main key switch.Insert the key into the bypass/recovery keyswitch and turn it to the bypass position.Note: The length sensor calibration values will notbe saved correctly unless the key switch is in thebypass / recovery position.
