TS-i3 Sensors
Each TS-i3 sensor contains a single or dual axis sensor element, and will be different depending on where
they are mounted. Sensors mounted on the stick, boom and attachment are single axis, and are only
mounted in a left or right orientation. The sensor mounted on the body is dual axis, and is mounted only
with a flat orientation with the label up.
When installing the sensors, ensure that they are mounted parallel to the axis being measured
(
Figure 11). Locate surfaces that protect the sensor from physical damage and are convenient for cable
routing. When the position of the implement is at zero degrees (horizontal), make a note of the direction
of the arrow marker on the serial label (located on the top of the sensor). This direction is needed during
calibration. The calibration process uses 3D-MC to enter direction, orientation, and other sensor variables.
TS-i3 Sensor Orientation
Figure 11: TS-i3 Sensor Location and Direction
When mounting the tilt sensors, begin with the attachment to help simplify cable routing.
The dual axis TS-i3 sensor is labeled TS-i3d.
Mounting each tilt sensor within +/- 20° of the pivot centerline is a good practice. Though not
necessary for system performance, squaring the sensors to each part of the machine makes for a
cleaner looking installation.
All tilt sensor orientation is determined when the implement is horizontal (zero degrees). The
orientation of each tilt sensor is entered in 3D-MC.
It is recommended that the sensors be installed on the boom, stick and attachment implements
with serial numbers in ascending or descending order.
When entering sensor information, make note of each sensor’s serial number and its
orientation. TS-i3 sensor orientation for boom, stick, and hitch is only left or right.
