    (90 degrees) to the direction of the boom. The bucket in the window can also change color to show that the tilt angle on the bucket is too small, too large or correct for the project. Figure 2-4. Bucket View X-22 User’s Manual...

  • Page 21: Length

    Getting Acquainted Length You can also bring up the length from a given point to the bucket tip. The length will be shown in yellow text under the bucket height. Length is a separate referencing system which measures the horizontal distance from the length referencing point to the bucket tip. The distance is measured with respect to the circle center on the undercarriage, so that the measured length does not alter as the superstructure swings around.

  • Page 25: Types Of Work/Projects

    Getting Acquainted Types of Work/Projects X-22 allows you to select the following types of work: • Flat plane • Single slope • Dual slope • Trench • Profile • Channel • Embankment • Bucket-defined slope The type of work is also called a project. The following sections contain a description of the different projects and what settings need to be entered.

  • Page 26: Flat Plane

    Figure 2-6. Flat Plane Surface A flat plane is a horizontal surface without gradient in any direction. This means you only need to set two things in X-22: • The referencing method • The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to...

  • Page 27: Single Slope

    Figure 2-7. Single Slope Surface A single slope is a surface with a gradient in one defined direction. In X-22 you must set the following to work on single slopes: • The referencing method • The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth) •...

  • Page 28: Dual Slope

    Figure 2-8. Dual Slope Surface A dual slope is a surface with a gradient both lengthways and sideways. In X-22 you must set the following to work on dual slopes: • The referencing method • The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth) •...

  • Page 29: Trench

    Getting Acquainted Trench Figure 2-9. Trench A trench is a single slope of limited width. The limitation lies in the width of the trench base and the walls sloping up from the base. A trench has the following settings: • The referencing method •...

  • Page 30: Profile

    Profile Figure 2-10. Profile A profile consists of two horizontal surfaces of different height with a single slope between them. In X-22 you must set the following to work on a profile: • The referencing method • The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth) •...

  • Page 31: Channel

    Getting Acquainted Channel Figure 2-11. Channel Surface A channel consists of three horizontal surfaces with single slopes between them as shown on the illustration opposite, and has the same gradient on both sides of the channel base. With a channel the following settings must be entered: •...

  • Page 32: Embankment

    • The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth) • Gradient/slope in lengthways direction • Length of top of embankment • Height from starting point to top of embankment • Direction of gradient/slope in lengthways direction (if compass is turned on) X-22 User’s Manual 2-16...

  • Page 33: Bucket-Defined

    This can be useful, for instance when forming a single slope up to the foundations of a garage. By referencing the bucket tip to two different points, X-22 will calculate the gradient, direction of gradient and digging depth and store these settings in the same way as for a single slope.

  • Page 35: X-22 Setup

    Work/Project Settings Many of the settings entered are the same for the different projects. Selecting a new project in X-22 guides you through the setup procedure for these settings using images and text. This chapter also gives a detailed description of the most important project settings.

    0.9 m and use X-22 to check that the layer of crushed stones has the correct height/thickness. If you have been given the heights as elevations and have benchmarks at a particular elevation, you can use X-22’s integral calculator to work out the reference height.

  • Page 37: Referencing With Benchmark

    X-22 Setup Once you have created a new project you are automatically invited to reference when you go into the Digging Window. To perform a new reference, press Reference in the Digging Window menu. Referencing with Benchmark A benchmark is a point with a known height in relation to the digging depth of your current project.

  • Page 38: Referencing With Laser

    Referencing with Laser X-22 can also be referenced by detecting the laser ray from a rotating laser with the laser receiver on the arm sensor. The laser must be set with exactly the same gradient/slope and direction as entered for the NOTICE project in X-22.
  • Page 39 NOTICE having to use many benchmarks and avoid the risk of losing accuracy when moving the excavator. Contact your dealer for offers of X-22 quality lasers. To find the laser plane as quickly as possible, you can first move the arm relatively quickly through the area you expect to find the laser ray in, while simultaneously watching the screen for a hit.

  • Page 40: Digging Slopes

    Digging Slopes All projects except Flat plane include surfaces with a slope. The gradient/slope is entered in X-22 as a percentage (%), unless Bucket-defined project is selected. If the gradient/slope has been specified as a ratio (e.g. 1:8) or in degrees (e.g. 12.5) you can use X- 22’s integral calculator to translate these values into percentages.

  • Page 42: Moving The Undercarriage

    When you have referenced and finished digging at the point where the undercarriage is standing and need to move to a new location, you will need to inform X-22. The following describes three ways you can do this. Option 1: New Reference After moving the undercarriage to a new position you can re- reference to a benchmark or laser plane.

  • Page 43: Option 3: Swap Point Function

    X-22 Setup Option 3: Swap Point Function Figure 3-6. Swap Point Function The swap point function is available for projects Flat plane, Single slope and Dual slope. Before you move the undercarriage, place the bucket tip on a point which can also be reached from the place you will be moving the undercarriage to.

  • Page 44: Measurement Point Of Bucket

    The bucket measurement point is used everywhere NOTICE in X-22 where you are asked to use the bucket tip. Visible Elements Here you can select which elements are to be shown in the Digging Window.

  • Page 45: Focus

    Color Warning Here you can select whether X-22 will give you a color warning when the measurement point on the bucket tip is above or below the indicated working area. You can choose between a color change on the background to the screen, to the whole excavator or just the bucket.

  • Page 46: Sound Settings

    NOTICE relation to the project. Using the Compass In order to make full use of X-22 when excavating sloping projects, it is essential that the compass gives an accurate measurement. It is therefore important that the compass is well calibrated.

  • Page 47: Speed Of Sensors

    Excavators may vibrate a great deal or very little, depending on rpm, size, age, make etc. and this will affect the sensors’ angular measurements. X-22 has been designed to ensure the sensors give the optimum in stable, quick and accurate angular measurements in all types of excavators.

  • Page 48: Damping

    Filtering makes the angular measurements stable and accurate despite vibrations. By increasing the damping, X-22 will react more slowly to small and limited movements in the machine. By reducing the damping, X-22 will react more quickly to small and limited movements in the machine.

  • Page 49: Troubleshooting

    The sensors are not responding, what should I If you are having problems making contact with the sensors, proceed as follows: Turn the X-22 Display off and put all the sensors in the charger for a few minutes. The sensors will then be reset while they are being charged.
  • Page 50 If the system is not measuring accurately, a dimension or calibration value is probably wrong. Select Verify from the menu in the Digging Window, and press Troubleshooting. X-22 will then help you identify the problem and rectify it. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Page 51 Troubleshooting on” and press “Change”. All the software functions that use the heading measurements from the compass will now disappear and you will have to keep track of the heading yourself. In situations where there are large fluctuations in the magnetic field around the machine all the time, the compass calibration will not be able to compensate for the disturbances.
