Step 8: Calibrate the Sensors
The sensors should now be in position on the excavator. Press Start
digging in the Main Menu and you are asked to calibrate the sensors.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Calibrating the Boom Sensor
Attach one magnet in the center of the boom bolt and another in the
center of the stick bolt. Then thread the line through the spirit level,
pull it tight, and secure the ends to the magnets. When the spirit level
is level, the boom is level.
Calibrating the ArticBoom Sensor (Optional)
If the excavator has an articulated (extended) boom, the boom sensor
is calibrated by positioning the boom vertically, and the ArticBoom
sensor is calibrated by positioning the articulated boom horizontally.
Calibrating the PitchRollCompass
Park the excavator on a horizontal surface and position the
superstructure so that it is parallel to the tracks, following the on-
screen instructions.
Then rotate the superstructure slowly.
NOTICE
It is important to calibrate the sensors accurately. If
calibration is not done correctly, X-22 will not
measure as accurately as it should.
The most accurate sensor calibration is achieved by
using a rotating laser, theodolite or a total station
instead of the spirit level and plumb line provided.
