Introduction
ThismanualdiscusseshowtoinstallandcalibratetheX‐63/X‐63i/X‐33GPSexcavatorindicatesystemsfor3D
control,andtheX‐62/X ‐32excavatorindicat esystemsfor2Dcontrol.
TheTS‐i3andTS‐1TiltSensors(917 4‐0001)usedintheTopconexcavatorsystemsmeasurethepitchandroll
angleofvariousmachineelements(Figure2).Eachsensoraccuratelymeasuresagravity‐ref erencedangleof
thebody,boom,stickandbucket,sendingthisangledatatoaGX‐60orGX‐30ControlBoxtoprovidepr ecise
grade.Eachsensorisconfiguredandcalibratedforitsspecificlocationontheexcavator.
Thebodysensorfunctionalityisuniqueasitmeasuresbothpitchandroll(crossslope)ofthemachine.
