Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present application provides an adjustable inlet guide vane angle monitoring device for monitoring an angular position of an inlet guide vane mounted about a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The adjustable inlet guide vane angle monitoring device may include a position sensor attached to the inlet guide vane, a sensor plate attached to the position sensor, and a limit switch positioned about the sensor plate. The position sensor determines the angular position of the inlet guide vane and the limit switch prevents movement of the inlet guide vane upon detection of the sensor plate.
