Introduction
ThismanualdiscusseshowtoinstallandcalibratetheX‐63/X‐63i/X‐33GPSexcavatorindicatesystemsfor3D
control,andtheX‐62/X‐32excavatorindicatesystemsfor2Dcontrol.
TheTS‐i3andTS‐1TiltSensors(9174‐0001)usedintheTopconexcavatorsystemsmeasurethepitchandroll
angleofvariousmachineelements(Figure2).Eachsensoraccuratelymeasuresagravity‐referencedangleof
thebody,boom,stickandbucket,sendingthisangledatatoaGX‐60orGX‐30ControlBox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.
