Precautions Precautions 2.1. General safety regulations Work on the hydraulics control electronics may only be carried out by trained personnel who are well-acquainted with the control system, the machine and its safety regulations. ARNING Mounting, modification, repair and maintenance must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's regulations.
Precautions 2.1.1. Construction regulations AUTION The vehicle must be equipped with an emergency stop which disconnects the supply voltage to the control system's electrical units. The emergency stop must be easily accessible to the operator. The machine must be built if possible, so that the supply voltage to the control system's electrical units is disconnected when the operator leaves the operator’s station.
The TGSS has a short cable terminated with a connector. Figure 1: TGSS with Deutsch DT04-4P connector Custom units with different cable lengths and connector types may be configured for OEM customers. Contact your Parker Vansco representative. True Ground Speed Sensor (TGSS) 740...
Product Description 3.2. Compliances This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.
4.1. Installation Guidelines The TGSS 740 Radar measures motion relative to itself. It is important to prevent unwanted motion in order to achieve optimal performance. The unwanted motion could be of the TGSS unit, or of an object within the radar's line of sight.
Installation given to increase the material thickness as well. This will help reduce the bracket's susceptibility to vibration.

Installation 4.1.3. Mounting the TGSS to a vehicle It is up to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to ensure the product is securely mounted to the vehicle. The following guidelines are related to physically attaching the TGSS to the mounting bracket on a vehicle: •...
Installation NFORMATION It cannot be known with certainty if there is a problem introduced from an obstruction in the -10 db area, because there are too many other parameters that come into play (ground texture, reflection coefficient of interference, vibration level of interference, etc.).
Installation OTICE It is not required, but is suggested that the user interface that is displaying the TGSS signal be configured to ignore any data when the vehicle is stationary. This will prevent undesired speed readings caused by external sources. 4.2.

Appendix A G- Storage Temperature 1. The samples in this test were subjected to -40°C for 24 hours and then to +85°C for another 24 hours for a total soak time of 48 hours. ASAE EP455 calls for a minimum soak time of 4 hours at each extreme temperature. Transition from one temperature to another was not controlled.

Appendix A K- Electrostatic Discharge 1. The unit is not designed to withstand an ESD ±15 kV. ±8 kV was used for each point of discharge with the exception of the radome where the value used was ±6 kV. 2. Each ESD was delivered using the contact method as opposed to the air discharge method specified in the EP455 document.
