Introduction
The RDS True Ground Speed Sensor provides a forward speed signal for use with any of the range of RDS
instruments or to any other control or logging system. The sensor can be used on agricultural vehicles, on-road
vehicles, rail vehicles, and can be used over almost any surface (except a perfectly smooth, reflecting surface).
The sensor is classed as a "Low Power Microwave Device" operating at 24.125 GHz producing 5mW of power.
This meets performance specification MPT 1349 and complies with The Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption)
Regulations 1991 (S1 1991/1523). No operators Licence is required.

Summary of Contents for RDS TGSS MK3V

  • Page 1 Installation and Calibration Instructions Introduction The RDS True Ground Speed Sensor provides a forward speed signal for use with any of the range of RDS instruments or to any other control or logging system. The sensor can be used on agricultural vehicles, on-road vehicles, rail vehicles, and can be used over almost any surface (except a perfectly smooth, reflecting surface).
  • Page 2 TGSS MK3V RADAR SENSOR K/TGSS/MK3V and K/TGSS/ADAPT Installation and Calibration Instructions Installation The sensor can be mounted directly to the vehicle chassis, or on its mounting bracket, so that it is pointing at a depression angle of 37 degrees (± 2 degrees) from the horizontal. This angle is critical to the accuracy of the instrument (but also see note under "Calibration").
  • Page 3 The sensor output is calibrated at 128.5 pulses-per-metre travelled, when the sensor is mounted at the correct angle from the horizontal (figure 4). The normal RDS convention is that the "speed sensor factor" is either; the distance travelled over one interval between sensor pulses (all Pro-Series instruments and Wizard instruments with software versions prefixed WZxxx / PSxxx.).
