LPS system TS-i4 body sensor calibration

This procedure is only applicable for the LPS system configuration with a Prism (LPS) sensor type, which uses the TS-i4 only as a body sensor.
  1. Power up the system. Allow several minutes for the 3D-MC software to detect the TS-i4 Body Sensor.
  2. Position the machine on a flat and stable surface, free of obstructions.
  3. Curl the stick and bucket in, as close as possible. This will reduce tipping errors.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

  4. In 3D-MC, select Topcon Main MenuControlMachine SetupIMU calibration.
  5. On the Sensor Calibration screen, select the right Sensor Orientation and select Calibrate.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note: It is not necessary to identify the TS-i4 body sensor with the NODE ID because it is the only sensor connected to the CAN line.
    The Body Sensor calibration starts. The IMU Calibration screen shows position 1.

  6. Rotate the excavator body parallel to the tracks.
  7. Select Capture.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The IMU Calibration screen shows position 2.

  8. Without moving the excavator tracks, rotate the body 180 degrees to be parallel to the tracks in the opposite direction.
  9. Select Capture.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The IMU Calibration screen shows position 3.

  10. Without moving the excavator tracks, rotate the body 180 degrees back to be parallel with the tracks in the original direction.
  11. Select Capture.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The IMU Calibration screen shows the calibration as complete with the body IMU calibration data.
