X-52/X-72 2D Excavator Installation and Calibration Manual P/N: 1022461-01
Introduction
This manual discusses how to install and calibrate Topcon’s X-52 and X-72 2D Excavator Systems utilizing
the MC-X1 Controller.
The TS-i3 sensors used in the Topcon excavator systems measure the pitch and roll angle of various
machine elements. Each sensor accurately measures a gravity-referenced angle of the body, boom, stick,
and attachment, sending this angle data to a GX-55/GX-75 display to provide precise grade. Each sensor
is configured and calibrated for its specific location on the excavator.
The body sensor functionality is unique as it measures both pitch and roll (cross slope) of the machine.
X-52 andX-72 System Components
Tabl e 1 lists the hardware and software components of the 2D indicate systems.
The TS-i3 Tilt Sensors, the MC-X1 Controller, the GX-55/GX-75 display, and the LS-B10W Laser Receiver
make up the 2D indicate system. The LS-B10W adds a laser height reference, and is calibrated for its
location on the stick of the excavator.

Figure 3 shows the basic cabling connections for the 2D excavator system. When installing
components, use the Topcon supplied fuse or fused power from the machine of the same rating.
Sitting in the cab facing forward, the sensor angles are 0° straight ahead (horizontal), +90° straight
up, and -90° directly down (Figure 2).

MC-X1 Connectivity andConfiguration
Configuration of the unit can be done using a GX Series display while connected in the machine, or with
a computer using the following programing cable:
•MC-X1 Program Cable
Connecting to the MC-X Web Interface from a PC
By default, the computer should be set to Obtain IP address automatically (Figure 4). The IP address
is required. Although the steps to check for the IP address may vary depending on the computer operating
system, they should be similar to the steps for the display.

Installation
TS-i3 Sensors
Each TS-i3 sensor contains a single or dual axis sensor element, and will be different depending on where
they are mounted. Sensors mounted on the stick, boom and attachment are single axis, and are only
mounted in a left or right orientation. The sensor mounted on the body is dual axis, and is mounted only
with a flat orientation with the label up.
When installing the sensors, ensure that they are mounted parallel to the axis being measured
(Figure 11). Locate surfaces that protect the sensor from physical damage and are convenient for cable
routing. When the position of the implement is at zero degrees (horizontal), make a note of the direction
of the arrow marker on the serial label (located on the top of the sensor). This direction is needed during
calibration. The calibration process uses 3D-MC to enter direction, orientation, and other sensor variables.
TS-i3 Sensor Orientation
Figure 11: TS-i3 Sensor Location and Direction
When mounting the tilt sensors, begin with the attachment to help simplify cable routing.
The dual axis TS-i3 sensor is labeled TS-i3d.
Mounting each tilt sensor within +/- 20° of the pivot centerline is a good practice. Though not
necessary for system performance, squaring the sensors to each part of the machine makes for a
cleaner looking installation.
All tilt sensor orientation is determined when the implement is horizontal (zero degrees). The
orientation of each tilt sensor is entered in 3D-MC.
It is recommended that the sensors be installed on the boom, stick and attachment implements
with serial numbers in ascending or descending order.
When entering sensor information, make note of each sensor’s serial number and its
orientation. TS-i3 sensor orientation for boom, stick, and hitch is only left or right.

X-52/X-72 2D Excavator Installation and Calibration Manual P/N: 1022461-01
Hitch Sensor
The hitch sensor is the most challenging sensor to mount to keep the sensor and cables protected.
If a quick release coupler is installed on the excavator, the most accurate and safe place to mount the
sensor is on the inside of the coupler.
An alternative mounting location is on the left side of the DogBone, either on the inside or the outside
of the DogBone itself; see “DogBone Sensor (Optional Mounting Location)” on page 9.
If no hitch sensor is used select None (hanging attachment).
When mounting the attachment sensor, keep the following in mind (Figure 12):
•Position the hitch on the ground (bucket flat on the ground) before mounting the sensor.
•Mount the sensor between the attachment pivot pin and the linkage pin as shown in Figure 12.
•Sensor orientation (Left/Right)

DogBone Sensor (Optional Mounting Location)
An optional location for the hitch sensor is on the DogBone. This location offers additional protection
of the sensor, but produces less accurate readings (especially if the joints are worn). If possible,
placing the sensor on the inside of the DogBone will provide additional protection. Mounting the
sensor on the DogBone requires additional calibration steps.
The recommended location of the sensor is on the left side of the DogBone.
Figure 13: DogBone Sensor Mounting Example
Installing the sensor on the inside of the DogBone may not be possible on smaller machines
due to space constrictions.
If using the DogBone mounting option, worn joints in the DogBone linkage causes
decreased accuracy.
TS-i3 sensors are only mounted on the left or right of the DogBone.

Tilt Bucket Sensor
If using tilt bucket, an additional sensor may be mounted to the bucket (Figure 14). Tilt bucket sensor
mounting differs from all other sensors. Determine the location and orientation of the sensor with the
bucket sitting flat on the ground.
Figure 14: Tilt Bucket Sensor Mounting
Tilt Rotator
The following brands of supported Tilting/Rotating attachments include;
• Rototilt®
• Engcon®
• Steelwrist®
Each manufacturer has specific installation documentation which is required for setup and calibration.
If using a single-axis TS-i3 sensor, mount the sensor vertically, with the label front/arrow
right, or label back/arrow right from the cab perspective.
If using a dual-axis TS-i3d sensor, mount the sensor with a flat orientation, on a the top of
the attachment with the label up. The arrow may point left, right, forward, or back.

Stick Sensor
Locate a convenient surface to mount the sensor. Mounting the sensor close to the top of the stick
will help prevent damage during digging.
The mounting location shall be on the left or right side of the stick (from the cab point of view).

For the boom sensor, locate a convenient surface parallel to the boom center. The mounting location
may be on the left or right side of the boom (from the cab point of view). Be sure to place the sensor
at a location away from the boom pivot

If a second boom is installed, see the previous section “Boom Sensor” on page 12 for secondary boom
sensor mounting locations.
Placing the boom sensor on a tapered section will cause calculation errors.

Body Sensor
For the TS-i3 dual axis body sensor, locate a convenient surface parallel to the boom pivot.
The recommended mounting location is on top of the body.
(Figure 17). If a secure mounting surface cannot be found on top of the body, mount the body sensor
to the alternative mounting location between the boom’s elevation cylinders.

LS-B10W
The LS-B10W Laser Receiver and bracket must be mounted on the left side of the stick. The following
section describes bracket mounting, cable routing, and LS-B10W Laser Receiver mounting.
1. Before installing the LS-B10W bracket, you must assemble the bracket kit; see the LS-B10W
Indexing Bracket Assembly Instructions
(p/n: 7030-1370) for more information.
2. After assembling the bracket, clean the painted surface of the machine’s stick in the area where
the bracket will be mounted. Remove the backing from the double-sided tape and mount the
bracket onto the stick orientation as shown in Figure 18.
