SECTION 1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1.1 Pre-Installation Procedure
1. Remove the drive pulley/belt cover from the sawmill.
2. If applicable, disconnect the encoder cable from the existing Setworks control and
remove the encoder and mounting bracket from the sawmill.
3. Pre-2006 sawmills only: 1 Note the blade height indicator position on the inch scale and
remove the scale pointer assembly from the mill. Set the mounting hardware aside.
Remove the existing blade height scale assembly from the mill. Remove the scales from
the scale mounting bracket, then set the scales and mounting hardware aside.
NOTE: Sawmills manufactured after 11/00 have four
threaded holes in the mast. If your sawmill has the threaded
holes, skip to Sensor Installation (See Section 1.2). If your
sawmill does not have the threaded holes, continue with
this procedure.
4. Position the supplied template on the sawmill vertical mast tube 4 5/16” from the top of
the tube.
1 Sawmills prior to LT30 Rev. J8.01, LT40 Rev. J9.01, LT30 Super Rev. J3.07, LT40 Super Rev. J4.08, LT30HD Rev. J9.01,
LT40HD Rev. K1.01, LT30HD Super Rev. J8.08 and LT40HD Super Rev. J8.09. The scale mount and pointer assembly
will be replaced on these sawmills. Newer mills do not require replacement of the scale mount and pointer assembly.

5. Mark the locations indicated by the holes in the template on the mast tube.
NOTE: Accurate location is necessary for proper mechani-
cal and sensor operation.
6. Relocate the template 44 9/16” from the top of the mast tube and mark the two hole loca-
tions.
7. Use the #3 (7/32”) drill bit provided to drill holes through one wall of the mast tube at all
four locations.
8. Thread all four holes with the 1/4-20 tap provided.

3. Install two of the provided 1/4” lock washers and 1/4-20 x 5/8” hex head bolts to the bot-
tom set of threaded holes in the mast. Thread the bolts about halfway into the holes. Slide
the slotted lower mounting bracket of the sensor assembly around the two bolts, behind
the lock washers. Slide the upper mounting bracket up or down as necessary so the
bracket holes align with the holes in the mast. Secure with the remaining two lock wash-
ers and hex head bolts. Tighten all four mounting bolts. Use large channel lock pliers on
the transducer nut to turn the asssembly so the label is viewable.
See Figure 1-4.

4. Pre-2006 sawmills only: Remove the blade height and quarter scales from the removed
scale mount bracket. Use the existing hardware to secure the scales to the provided
scale mount bracket.
See Figure 1-5.
Assemble the new scale mount bracket to the sawmill mast and secure the at the top with
the existing hardware. Leave the bottom loose until after the magnet assembly is
installed.

5. Install the sensor magnet mount block to the scale mount bracket using the four provided
#10-24 x 1/2" hex head bolts and flat washers. Check the area between the bracket and
block. If there is a gap, use the provided extra #10 washers as necessary to fill the gap.
This will prevent bending of the scale bracket when the mounting bolts are tightened.
6. Position the magnet assembly so the holes in the magnet mounting bracket align with the
holes in the magnet mount block.
7. Secure the magnet assembly to the mount block with the provided 1/4-20 x 3/4” hex head
bolts and flat washers. Adjust the assembly in the slotted holes so the magnet is centered
around the sensor rod.
See Figure 1-6.

8. Pre-2006 sawmills only: Use the two provided #10-24 x 3/8" pan head screws and
self-locking hex nuts to secure the provided scale pointer to the new pointer mount plate.
Then, use existing hardware to secure the pointer mount plate to the sawmill.
See Figure 1-7.
Secure the bottom of the blade height scale assembly with the existing hardware. Leave
the nuts loose enough you can still move the scale assembly up or down. Adjust the
assembly until the blade height indicator shows the measurement noted before the old
scale assembly was removed. Tighten the mounting nuts.
Apply the appropriate decals supplied to the pointer mount plate.
9. Connect the transducer cable to the socket at the bottom of the sensor.

1.3 Wiring Preparation
1. If your sawmill is equipped with a previous version Accuset option, skip to Final Installa-
tion (See Section 1.6).
IMPORTANT! Make sure the mill is properly set up before
performing Accuset installation and/or operation.
WARNING! Failure to put front outrigger down before mov-
ing cutting head from the rest position (rear of the mill) may
result in serious injury.
2. Return the saw carriage to the front of the mill.
3. Raise the cutting head to the 22 inch mark on the blade height scale.
4. Turn the sawmill control box key to the OFF (#0) position and remove the key.
5. Unbolt and remove the top cover from the battery box and set aside. Remove the nega-
tive battery terminal from the battery post to disconnect power from the mill. Wrap a cloth
or temporary insulating material around the terminal to ensure it does not contact the post
during Accuset installation.
WARNING! Before performing any service to the sawmill
control box panel, turn the key to the OFF position, discon-
nect the negative battery lead, and remove all rings,
watches, etc.... Failure to do so may cause serious injury
and machine damage.

1.4 Wiring Installation for Super Sawmills
1. If your sawmill is equipped with a previous version Accuset option, skip to Final Assembly
(See Section 1.6).
IMPORTANT! If you have a Super model sawmill, follow
the wiring installation instructions located in this section. If
you have a standard model sawmill, follow the wiring instal-
lation instructions found in Section 1.5 Wiring Installation
for Standard Sawmills.
WARNING! Before performing any service to the sawmill
control box panel, turn the key to the OFF position, discon-
nect the negative battery lead, and remove all rings,
watches, etc.... Failure to do so may cause serious injury
and machine damage.
See Figure 1-12.
1. Remove the nut and the existing red upper harness wire from the top post of the top sole-
noid. Remove the nut and the existing black upper harness wire from the top post of the

bottom solenoid. Be sure to leave the existing jumper wires in place. Reinstall the nuts.
NOTE: If your up/down solenoid orientation is different than
shown, the solenoid panel may be installed upside down.
Rotate the panel 180 °.
2. Connect the black wire removed from bottom solenoid to the provided yellow (or black)
wire labeled MOTOR. Secure with the provided 1/4-20 x 3/8” screw, flat washer and
self-locking nut.
Connect the red wire removed from the top solenoid to the provided purple (or red) wire
labeled MOTOR. Secure with the provided 1/4-20 x 3/8” screw, washer and self-locking
nut.
Slide one end of the provided 6” piece of rubber tubing over each connection. Bend the
rubber tubing over to prevent connections from contacting each other and use a 6” wire
tie to secure the rubber tubing in place. Use a diagonal wire cutter to remove the excess
ends of the wire tie.

1-16 AS207doc100119 Installation Procedure
See Figure 1-14. There are two red 12VDC wires provided. Only one of these wires will
be used, depending upon your mill model. Both wires have a 1/4” ring terminal connected
to one end. For Super model sawmills, use the wire with the 5/16” ring terminal on the
other end of the wire.
3. Install the red 12VDC wire to terminal 3 of Solenoid 4 or 5. For best results, install to sole-
noid terminal with only one pre-existing connection. Be sure to leave the pre-existing con-
nection in place. To install, remove the 5/16” hex nut and lock washer from solenoid
terminal, install ring terminal to solenoid terminal, and replace lock washer and hex nut.
Tighten to secure. Reinstall the side panel to the sawmill control box.
See Figure 1-15.
