Introduction

Introduction
Congratulations on your new X-22 System. You are now ready for
quicker, safer and more accurate work with your new workmate, X-
22.
This manual contains descriptions of the user interface and ideas for
working with the X-22 System. But don’t let this limit your use of X-
22. X-22 can almost certainly be used in ways we have not thought of
or described in this manual.
When on site, you are the expert – all we have done is offer you the
best workmate an excavator driver could wish for.
Enjoy your work!
Operating Principle
The X-22 software was designed to give you all necessary
information for the current job, just by glancing at the screen. Some
of the information, such as the height alarm, is also provided by X-22
in the form of sound signals.
To give you this information X-22 needs your help. To get started,
you first have to tell X-22 what type of work or project you intend to
carry out. You then tell X-22 where this work is to be done by
referencing.
With this complete, the excavator is able to sit with its undercarriage
in one place while you dig and swing the superstructure to your
heart's content. X-22 has complete control over where the machine is
in relation to the project.
If the undercarriage moves, for instance, because you have transferred
to a new location, you must tell X-22 this by referencing again. Once
referencing is complete, continue digging, and X-22 continues to
make the right measurements.
This is how daily work proceeds, and in this way X-22 helps you by
displaying the excavator in terms of work, height, length, slope and

whatever else you need to carry out your work to a centimeter’s

Getting Acquainted
The following chapter describes the basic features of the X-22
excavator indicate system software.
The Digging Window
Figure 2-1. Digging Window
In the Digging Window, you will find all the information you need
for digging. You can also choose what you would like to see
displayed for optimal adaptation of the screen to you and your needs.
This chapter describes what you will see in the Digging Window and
how you can use it.

Target ball
On the left side of the Digging Window (Figure 2-1 on page 2-1) you
will see the Target Ball . This functions as a zoom. As the
bucket tip approaches the digging depth, the ball begins to move.
When the Target Ball is in the center of the circle, the bucket tip is
exactly at the desired digging depth. The two horizontal lines show
the working area.
Bucket Height
The top left-hand corner of the Digging Window (Figure 2-2)shows
the vertical distance from the measurement point on the bucket tip to
the entered digging depth.

Bucket View
In the top center of the Digging Window (Figure 2-4) the bucket is
displayed as viewed from the driver’s cab with the project below.
This window is particularly useful if you have a tilt bucket and tilt
sensor. It shows both the tilt angle on the bucket and the gradient/
slope of the project perpendicular (90 degrees) to the direction of the
boom. The bucket in the window can also change color to show that
the tilt angle on the bucket is too small, too large or correct for the
project.
