WARNING – Many large and sudden changes in satellite geometry caused by blocked satellites can cause
significant position shifts. If operating under these conditions, auto-guidance systems can react abruptly. To
avoid possible personal injury or damage to property under these conditions, disable the auto-guidance
system and take manual control of the vehicle until conditions have cleared.
3. Tap Next to set up the controller orientation. See Controller settings for EZ-Pilot system, 167.
Controller settings for EZ-Pilot system
The EZ-Pilot system ueses the IMD-600 to provide roll compensation when the vehicle is on a slope
or drives over a bump. For roll compensation to work correctly, the IMD-600 must be calibrated.
IMD stands for Inertial Measurement Device.
To set up the IMD-600 controller, you must indicate the position/orientation of the controller as it is
currently installed in the vehicle.
For example, if the controller is positioned with the input jacks of the controller facing to the left side
of your vehicle, you indicate this in the TMX-2050 display.
