Safety Safety during start-up Danger! Risk of death or injury. Do not start the machine's engine before the control system is mounted and its electrical functions have been verified. Do not start the machine if anyone is near the machine. Safety during maintenance and fault diagnosis Before performing any work on the hydraulics control electronics, ensure that ▪...
(Doppler shift). The ground speed is calculated by measuring the change in frequency. The TGSS is enclosed in a black plastic case, which is potted to cover the electronics. The TGSS has a short cable terminated with a connector.
Hereby, Parker Hannifin Corporation declares that the radio equipment type 740 TGSS is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address under Product Support: https://ph.parker.com/us/17616/en/tgss-true-ground-speed-sensors...
Installation 2. Installation The TGSS is typically installed at a height of 0.3 to 1 meter (1 to 3 feet) above the ground. The maximum height of installation is 1.22 meters (4 feet). The sensor mounts to a bracket on the underside of the vehicle where the sensor may be directed in either the forward or reverse direction.
[.250] Figure 4: Recommended mounting plate dimensions The TGSS has rubber shock absorber vibration mounts to reduce the effect of machine vibration. The vibration mounts have an internal M6 thread, the recommended installation torque is 5.4-7.3 Nm (48-65 in lbs).
The following guidelines are related to physically attaching the TGSS to the mounting bracket on a vehicle: ▪ The TGSS should be secured with bolts in all 3 bolt holes using 6 mm Hex Head bolts and locking washers. The bolts should be tightened to 5.4-7.3 Nm (48-65 in lbs).
-3dB level and the larger region is the -10 dB level. These areas are the relative sensitivity of the TGSS to motion. The-3dB region is the area where the TGSS is most sensitive. This path must be clear of any objects. Interference in this area will have a high likelihood of degrading the performance of the product's ability to provide accurate speed measurement.

The model is based on a mounting height of 1 meter. Any other height will require that the radar beam model be stretched ratiometrically with the new height. This is done by looking at the model as spherical coordinates and scaling the radius proportionally to the 1 meter in the model. TGSS...
With the vehicle stationary over a smooth surface, slowly sweep the engine rpm over it’s range. Monitor the TGSS speed output to see if any false speed is shown. If a false speed reading occurs, there is either a line of sight or vibration issue.
This will prevent undesired speed readings caused by external sources. 2.2. Performance Considerations The TGSS is a K Band radar. There are many factors that may influence its operation. ▪ The further the ground is from the radar, the lower the return signal strength.
Technical Specifications 3. Technical Specifications 3.1. Microwave Output The output field strength generated by the TGSS is within the acceptability level set by the FCC, IC, and EC. Carrier frequency: Standard: 24.125 GHz +/ 50 MHz 24.300 GHz +/ 50 MHz Maximum Power: 100 mW, EIRP Beam Width: 13°...
100 mA @ 12 V. 3.4. Connectors There are 2 standard connectors available for the TGSS. For units that do not have the Radar-present output the connector is an AMP Superseal 1.5 series, housing part number 282105-1.
