SENSOR STATUS

Edit
• The Yaw Sensor Status area of the screen displays the yaw sensor diagnostic information:
◦
Current Wheel Angle - An approximation of the steering inputs detected by the yaw sensor.
◦
Current Sensor Reading - The total yaw detected by the sensor.
◦
Zero Yaw Button - Recalibrates the yaw sensor rate to zero. The machine must be at a full stop before
recalibrating the yaw sensor. The example above shows the yaw sensor rate as already been recalibrated
to 0. During normal operation, the value will likely show a value other than 0.
• If the SmarTrax system detects a WAS during calibration, the Wheel Angle Sensor Status area of the screen
displays the WAS status information. If no WAS was detected, this field will remain blank.
NOTE: SmarTrax nodes 016-0173-031 and 016-0173-042 only - The SmarTrax node must be hardware version
C or higher to utilize the WAS.
◦
Left, Center, and Right - Displays sensor readings. If the sensor is repositioned or replaced, these values
should be recalibrated before operating the SmarTrax system.
◦
Current Wheel Angle - The current wheel angle detected by the WAS.
◦
Current Sensor Reading - Current value registered by the sensor.
◦
Steering Position Sensor Auto Center - When set to Active, the SmarTrax system automatically
recalibrates the WAS center position during operation to adjust for slight shifts in the sensor's center
position. Bypassing this feature leaves the WAS center position at its current value.
NOTE: Refer to the Wheel Angle Sensor (WAS) Calibration - If Applicable section on page 50 for sensor
calibration information.
