Cross Slope Sensor
Cross slope sensor
The blade slope sensor consists of the following components:
•
Single Cross Slope Sensor
•
Mounting bracket with screws
Install the sensor
To install the sensor, complete the following steps:
1. Level the blade using a sprit level.
2. Place the bracket into the pocket at the rear of the circle and tack
weld in place. Align the plate parallel to the blade.
Warning
Before starting to weld, check that the machines battery is disconnected
and that any electronic systems are removed. (Contact your dealer, if
necessary.)
Warning
The alignment of the cross slope sensor is very critical to the accuracy of
the slope. Tack weld the bracket lightly at first so as to be able to move
the bracket when checking measurements.
Please also refer to the section " Sensor alignment" in this chapter.
3. The bracket must also be mounted so that the sensor, when installed,
will not come into contact with the mainframe when the cylinders are
retracted and the circle is rotated.
4. When the position of the bracket has been checked and, if necessary,
adjusted, then securely weld the bracket into the pocket.
5. Bolt the cross slope sensor to the bracket.
6. Connect the M12 connector to the sensor, and drag the cable up to
the hydra swivel were the rotation sensor is going to be mounted.
Make sure that the cable will not be damaged by the movement of the
blade or the circle.
7. Fasten the cable with cable ties.
