Entering Sensor Information
Taking Machine Measurements
Before taking machine measurements, note the following:
• Check the TS-i3 sensor's serial numbers before installing. The last two digits of the serial number
determine the sensor CAN address, and must be unique to each machine.
– For example, sensor serial number 0302 and 0402 will have the same CAN Termination address
("02"), causing communication errors.
• A sensor’s serial number ending in 00 is considered a special CAN identifier, and will be
identified as 01 in 3D-MC software. Therefore, if you have a sensor with 00 and a sensor with
01, there will be some confusion in 3D-MC software.
• Accurately measure and enter the machine dimensions into the 3D-MC machine builder. Write
your measurements on the lines at the side of the following screen captures (Figure 3-1).
Topcon recommends starting with a new machine configuration file in order to reduce
potential machine configuration file issues.
Incorrect measurements and/or data entry errors have a direct affect on excavating
accuracy. Measure twice and verify your data entry to ensure accuracy.
