    TS-i4 Sensor Guard Covers from seating properly. Mounting brackets for TS-i4 IMU sensors used on the Blade, C-Frame, and Body are shipped unpainted. Topcon strongly recommends painting these brackets, after welding, to prevent rust and corrosion. Ensure threaded holes remain free of paint.

  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation TS-i4 IMU Sensor Orientation The TS-i4 IMU sensor orientation is described using the X, Y, and Z axes where Z runs up and down, X runs lengthwise across the sensor and through the connectors, and Y runs across the width or the edge with no connectors (Figure 2-1).
  • Page 13 3. Provide adequate clearance for connection to protected M12 cable, strain relief plates, and cover. 4. Minimize the potential for debris striking the TS-i4 IMU sensor. 5. Prepare the back of the blade by removing any debris in the area where the TS-i4 IMU sensor will be installed (Figure 2-2).
  • Page 14 Welding preparation is not machine-specific. Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 are intended to illustrate the preparation process and may include different machine makes and/or models. 9. Prepare the welding area (Figure 2-4). Grind off the paint on the blade where welds will be applied.
  • Page 15 12. Weld the 4 Hole Weld-on plate (Figure 2-3 on page 2-2) to the back of the dozer blade, using a suitable welding method (Wire Welding or Stick Welding), weld the 4 Hole Weld-on plate to the back of the dozer blade. The weld leg size should be 6 mm (1/4 inch), and weld lengths should be at least 50 mm (2 inches).
