Page 35: Calibration
Calibration Steering calibration The console uses satellite information to find the location of the vehicle and control the steering system. The system must be calibrated for the vehicle. 1. Drive the vehicle to a large level area away from personnel and obstacles. The vehicle must be able to drive in complete circles.
Page 36: Wheel Angle Sensor
> Auto Steer Calibration > WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR Topcon recommends a calibration is done even if the screen shows it is not necessary. 2. Drive the vehicle forward at a speed of 2 kph (1.2 mph). The calibration procedure starts.
Page 37: Compass And Vehicle Direction
Compass and vehicle direction The compass and vehicle direction are calibrated when the system is started. 1. Confirm the direction of the vehicle when driving forward. The vehicle direction can be changed manually on the Steering Calibration screen. P/N: 1074425-01...
Page 38: Mounting Bias
Do a mounting bias calibration every 6-12 months at a minimum or if any of the items above change. Topcon recommends a mounting bias calibration is done even if the screen shows it is not necessary. 1. Move the vehicle to a clear area with sufficient space to drive at least 70m (230 ft) and turn at each end.
Page 39 9. Turn the vehicle and drive back to the A point. Maintain the vehicle speed. A blue line on the Calibration Progress starts to move after the Distance To A reaches 50 m. The Calibration Progress will stop at 50%. The system has sufficient data for the first part of the calibration.
