Instruction manual This instruction manual contains basic information to be considered when using and maintaining the product. Observing all security instructions and guidelines given here is indispensable for secure operation. This instruction manual must therefore be read and applied, without fail, by any person assigned with working processes to do with the machine, such as operation, fault finding and maintenance.
1.1 Safety instructions This section outlines all important safety matters concerning the optimal safety of personnel as well as failure-free operation. These instructions shall enable users to recognize potential risks of use and, as far as possible, prevent them in advance. Every user has to understand and observe these instructions.

Particularly applicable: The foreman must make sure he is aware of the current operational safety regulations and, in a risk assessment, be able to detect additional risks caused by the special working conditions at the usage site of the product. These risks must be compiled in the form of written instructions, which must then be kept near to the product and permanently be available for the persons working with it The foreman must clearly define the responsibilities of the personnel with regard to the...

Risk of injury caused by malfunction Uncontrolled machine actions caused by the malfunction of a system component can lead to severe personal injuries or cause material damage within the machine’s working range. Ensure that the machine is operated, controlled and inspected by a qualified and experienced operator, who is capable of carrying out emergency measures, such as an emergency stop.
Proceeding in case of danger and accidents Preventive measures Always be prepared for possible accidents or fire Keep first-aid equipment (ambulance box, blankets etc.) within reach Familiarize all personnel with accident notification and first-aid equipment as well as procedures for alerting the emergency services ...

1.3 Handling of the system The display is not completely waterproof. If the display or other components are taken away from the construction machine, a carrying case should be used. Make sure that the components are clean and dry before placing them in the carrying case. Also make sure that the carrying case is clean and dry.
2 INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS The chapters below provide information about installation of the components 2.1 Components inside the cabin When mounting the displays, notice the following precautions: Display should be mounted so that it is easily reachable by the operator. ...
Figure 3. Sensor IDs It is possible to change the sensor ID with a PC software provided by Novatron. For example if replacing a broken sensor with a new one, the ID of the new sensor must be the same as the ID of the broken sensor.

There are three measurement axes in the sensor (Figure 4). Figure 4. Measurement axes Sensors can be mounted to several different positions (Figure 5). Not all mounting orientations are possible for all sensors. See chapters 2.2.1 - 2.2.5 for details. XSITE EASY | Installation manual | Page 11 of 34...
2.2.1 Tilt bucket sensor Movements of the bucket and bucket accessories have to be checked before installing the sensor or sensor cables. Movements of the cable have to be checked after the installation. The moving part of the cable has to be covered by a shield. Shielded cable from the bucket sensor has to be connected with one or more fasteners.

2.2.2 Bucket sensor Movements of the bucket and bucket accessories have to be checked before installing the sensor or sensor cables. Movements of the cable have to be checked after the installation. The moving part of the cable has to be covered by a shield. Shielded cable from the bucket sensor has to be connected with one or more fasteners.
Figure 11. Installation on the inner or outer surface of the linkage (mounting orientation A1) 2.2.3 Laser receiver Laser receiver is mounted connectors pointing downwards on the left side of the stick aligned exactly with the line between the stick pin and the bucket pin (Figure 12). Laser receiver should be mounted in a sheltered place if possible.
2.2.4 Stick, main boom, and extra boom sensors Possible mounting orientations for the stick, main boom, and extra boom sensors are A1: left side, measurement axis A pointing to the bucket (Figure 13) • C1: right side, measurement axis A pointing to the bucket •...
2.2.5 Frame sensor Possible mounting orientations for the frame sensor are A1: left side, measurement axis A pointing to the bucket • B1: on the top, measurement axis A pointing to the bucket (Figure 15) • C1: right side, measurement axis A pointing to the bucket •...
2.3.1 Power cord Xsite Easy system requires 24 VDC input voltage. Power supply should be able to provide 1 A at 24 V. Install 12 V to 24 V converter to machines with 12 V battery. Remove the fuse from the fuse holder before installing the power cord. The fuse will be put back after all components and cables have been installed.
3 INSTALLATION DATA Lengths must be measured precisely with 1 mm accuracy unless otherwise stated. Measure the lengths and write them down. Machine coordinates (X, Y, Z) are explained in Figure 18. Figure 18. X, Y and Z coordinates of the machine 3.1 Bucket lengths Measure bucket length from the centre point of the lowest stick pin to the bucket tip (Figure 19).
3.2 Linkage lengths Linkage lengths are measured if the bucket sensor has been mounted on the linkage (Figure 20). Linkage parameters are measured from the centre points of the pins. Figure 20. Linkage lengths 3.3 Laser receiver lengths Measure X offset, Y offset and Z offset. X offset is measured from the centre line of the laser receiver to the centre line of the stick.
Figure 21: Laser receiver lengths, laser receiver is mounted on the left side of the stick 3.4 Boom lengths Measure stick and main boom lengths (Figure 22). Measure extra boom length, if the boom consists of 2 parts. Extra boom is the part that is closer to the cabin. Lengths are measured from the centre points of the pins.
3.5 Rotation centre point offsets Measure X offset and Y offset (Figure 23). Lengths are measured from the boom pin to the rotating centre point of the machine. Before measuring, make sure that you have identified the rotating centre point of the machine.
To complete the calibration, at least the following tasks should be done in “Installation settings”: Frame sensor calibration Boom calibrations Bucket mount calibration 4.1 Frame sensor calibration Go to “Installation settings” → “Frame”. Wizard guides you through the following steps 1.

7. Measure calibration height (Figure 27). Height is easiest to measure by using a point laser. Insert the laser on the same level with the lower pin of the stick and measure vertical distance from the upper pin of the stick to the laser beam. 8.
4.3 Main boom sensor calibration When calibrating a machine that has an extra boom, extra boom sensor has to be calibrated before main boom sensor. When performing the boom calibration, every step has to be done accurately. Make sure that the steps are done in the correct order.
4.4 Extra boom sensor calibration When calibrating a machine that has an extra boom the sensor of the extra boom has to be calibrated before main boom sensor. Calibration of the extra boom sensor is done in the same way as calibration of the main boom sensor.
4.6.1 Quick coupler Go to “Installation settings” → “Bucket sensor” → “Calibration”. 1. Slew machine roll to near zero. If roll value is too big, text “Turn!” is shown on the screen. 2. Turn the bucket down. Press the “0.0” button to calibrate. NOTE! When step 2 has been completed, text “Done”...
