TS-i3 Sensor Installation
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bucket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left,right,orflatorientation.
Wheninstallingthesensors,ensurethattheyaremountedparalleltotheaxisbeingmeasuredwith
thedirectionarrowpointingawayfromthecab(
Figure13).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.

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.
