    Chapter 1 Introduction This manual discusses how to install and calibrate the X63 GPS excavator indicate system for 3D control and the X62 excavator indicate system for 2D control. The TS-1 tilt sensors (9174-0000) used in the Topcon excavator systems measure the pitch and roll angle of various machine elements (Figure 1-1).

    Chapter 2 TS-1 Sensor Installation Each TS-1 sensor contains a 3-axis 360° sensor element which must be configured depending on the mounting position. The TS-1 tilt sensors can be mounted in many orientations as long as they are parallel to the axis being measured (Figure 2-1). Locate surfaces that protect the sensor from physical damage and are convenient for cable routing.

  • Page 15 TS-1 Sensor Orientation 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.
