Greetings!
All cranes, derricks and certain lift equipment require some form of boom angle
indication. Boom angle
indicators are normally mounted on the boom, visually readable by the
operator.
Being in the lift equipment industry (cranes, material handlers, off-road forklifts, and aerial ladders to name a few) you're already familiar with our 4120 Boom Angle Indicator - best known for it's unique multi-view design and rugged all-weather construction.
However Rieker also makes a back lit version of the 4120 (first introduced in the early '90's) and the RDI Digital backlit LCD Display Boom Angle Indicator! Each provide boom angle indication in a highly visible way, with the RDI also providing adjustable LED trip angle settings for an advanced visual warning to the operator. Also available is a version of the digital RDI with an audible alarm.
Rieker Boom Angle Indicators comply with OSHA regulations for Construction Equipment - relating to Cranes and Derricks (lift equipment with a boom).

 |
Highly visible backlit mechanical boom angle indicator for increased safety -
complies with National
Fire Protection Association 1901 Standards for Automotive
Fire Apparatus
|
 A mechanical type
inclinometer usually has degree numbers from -20 to +85 degrees.
The numbers should
remain clean and visually readable at all time. The capacities that are listed
on the crane load charts are
also based on and vary with the boom angle of the crane.
Available in a highly visible backlit model for increased safety, Rieker's 4120 boom angle
indicator is not affected by outdoor
elements. These instruments are made tough and will not rust, freeze, or
otherwise "hang up" like old fashioned pendulum style boom angle indicators.
Like all of our instruments, each boom angle indicator is properly dampened for
smooth reliable readings. Designed for easy mounting - only two screws - allows for quick and
efficient OEM installation, and well suited for retro-fitting in the field.

Backlit LCD Electronic
Digital Display Boom Angle Indicators |
Rieker's Digital Boom Angle Indicator Remote Inclinometer Package
(model RDSR3-BA-09) is an extension of the RDI series of digital
inclinometers.
Like the 4120, our
electronic boom angle indicator is sealed in a rugged case that
protects the sensor components from harsh environments. The RDSR3 is supplied as a calibrated set featuring an
environmentally sealed measurement sensor package and a separate LCD
display box (connected by an interface available in various lengths).
All of the standard RDI features have been incorporated into this
remote sensing package, modified specifically to comply with OSHA and
other safety regulatory agencies specifications for Boom Angle
Indicators.
Features:- Nema 4 rugged Aluminum housing
- Industrial Temperature Compensation over -40/+85ºC
- Angle range -10 to +90º
- Backlit LCD Display Resolution of 0.1º
- Adjustable LED trip settings
- Accommodating 8-30VDC non-regulated power supply
- Military Style Amphenol Circular Connectors for interface cable
- Remote box has mounting feet for easy field installation and zero calibration.
- Comply with Current OSHA Standard 1926.550
The display
model comes standard with green, yellow, and red LED lights (with adjustable
trip setting) provide the operator a bright fast visual warning of safe
and unsafe operating conditions. The green light indicates safe
operating zone, yellow as the early warning, and red as the danger
zone. An optional audible alarm model is also available - the red LED
on the front panel display is tied directly to the buzzer.
The RDSR3-BA-09 comes standard with Relative Zero and Min/Max
Angle functions. The Relative Zero allows the operator to temporarily zero
the digital readout to obtain relative slope changes. The Min/Max
function provides the smallest and largest angle the device has sensed
since the last reset.
