C h a p t e r 2 Overview This chapter contains instructions for mounting the Raven TM-1 Tilt Module and routing the GPS signal to and from the sensor. Examples of system diagrams for widely used systems are included in Chapter 5, System Diagrams. -
Page 8: Power Connection
The green and white wires are not used. Routing GPS Signal In order for the TM-1 Tilt Module to provide a corrected GPS position for guidance and location, route a raw or uncorrected GPS signal from the DGPS receiver to the ‘GPS IN’ port on the TM-1. -
Page 9: Set Up & Configuration
To properly compensate machine position, the TM-1 must be calibrated for the antenna height above ground and the delay from the time satellite information is received until a position solution is determined (delay time). This chapter contains instructions for the various methods of calibrating these settings and setting up the TM-1 for operation. -
Page 10: Tm-1 Configuration Settings
Operator Zero When the unit is bolted in place, the TM-1 may register a small tilt angle. To calibrate for a level ground condition, and to eliminate error due to the mounting surface, the TM-1 should be calibrated on a known level surface. -
Page 11: Tm-1 Configuration
The antenna height setting is not displayed on the Tilt Configuration screen. Refer to the Cruizer Operator’s Manual for information on this setting. Compensation. Toggle this option ‘On’ to enable the TM-1 Tilt Module and to use tilt corrected GPS messages. -

Chapter 3 Current Tilt. This is a display only. This displays the current tilt angle observed by the TM-1 Tilt Module. Note: The maximum tilt angle which the TM-1 may register is ±45° from a level surface. Calibrate. On level ground, the current tilt display should read a zero tilt angle. If the display shows a non-zero tilt angle on known level ground, touch the Calibrate button located in the lower, left corner of the Tilt Configuration screen to recalibrate the TM-1 to a level condition. -

• RFP Sim program available for download from the Raven web site: www.ravenhelp.com Connect the GPS OUT port on the TM-1 to a serial, or comm, port on a home or office computer using a standard DB-9 serial cable. Note: Standard serial cables (P/N 115-0171-215) may be ordered from Raven or purchased from many local retail stores. - Page 16 7 and step 8. Close the RFP Sim program and disconnect serial cable. To re-calibrate the TM-1 for level ground using a computer: Park on level ground. Type the $PSLIS,ILT,NULL command into blank box at bottom of RFP Sim program and click SEND. This will recalibrate the TM-1 sensor for level ground.
