LARGE MANIPULATOR
First Claim
1. Large manipulator having a mast base that can be rotated about an essentially vertical axis of rotation, by means of at least one drive unit, and is disposed on a frame, particularly on a chassis, having an articulated mast composed of at least two mast arms, which mast arms can be pivoted, in limited manner, relative to the mast base or an adjacent mast arm, about horizontal articulation axes that are parallel to one another, in each instance, by means of another drive unit, in each instance, having a pendulum element that hangs down from the mast tip, having a setting element disposed in a control device, and having a computer-assisted coordinate sensor that responds to output signals of the setting element, and activates the drive units of the articulation and rotation axes of the articulated mast in accordance with an adjustment path that is displayed by means of the setting element, relative to the current position of the mast tip, whereby the mast tip can follow the spatial movements of the pendulum element, and whereby the setting element has at least one inclination sensor that is disposed in a housing releasably attached to the pendulum element, wherein two inclination sensors angled by an angle of 90°
- relative to one another, about an axis parallel to the pendulum element axis, are disposed in the housing, and wherein the housing has a marking that indicates the orientation of at least one of the inclination sensors within the housing.

Abstract
A large manipulator, especially a truck-mounted concrete pump, has a boom base that can be arranged on a frame so as to be pivoted about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. The large manipulator has a pendular element, that hangs down as an articulated boom and a control device for controlling the drive units of the axes of articulation and rotation of the articulated boom. The remote control has at least one inclination sensor which is housed in a housing that is detachably fastened on the pendular element. Two inclination sensors are housed in the housing and are bent at an angle of 90° with respect to each other and with respect to an axis that is parallel to the pendular element axis. The housing has a mark indicating the orientation of at least one of the inclination sensors inside the housing.
