  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction This manual discusses how to install and calibrate Topcon’s X-52 and X-72 2D Excavator Systems utilizing the MC-X1 Controller. The TS-i3 sensors used in the Topcon excavator systems measure the pitch and roll angle of various machine elements. Each sensor accurately measures a gravity-referenced angle of the body, boom, stick, and attachment, sending this angle data to a GX-55/GX-75 display to provide precise grade.
  • Page 9 Figure 3 shows the basic cabling connections for the 2D excavator system. When installing components, use the Topcon supplied fuse or fused power from the machine of the same rating. System ground must be connected to the frame side of the ground disconnect switch, not directly to the negative battery terminal.
