4. Place the mounting plate so that the arrow is facing forward as shown
below.
5. Place the nylon spacing ring in to the groove on the mounting plate.
6. Place the sensor on the mounting plate, making sure that the sensor
arm fits into the recessed groove.
7. The top of the sensor must be fixed, so that only the base rotates
when the blade rotates. To do this, rotate the sensor to a position
where one end of a 6mm iron rod can pass through the rectangular
hole in the anti rotation arm and the other end can be welded or
screwed onto the grader.
Warning
Before starting to weld, check that the machines battery is disconnected
and that any electronic systems are removed. (Contact your dealer, if
necessary.)
The anti rotation arm can be unscrewed and reversed to have the connec-
tors on the rotation sensor facing forward instead of backwards.
8. Attach the cables from the cross slope sensor and junction box to the
connectors on the rotation sensor. Make sure that the cable to the
cross slope sensor is loose, so that the blade can rotate freely
through its whole range.
9. Once the sensor is positioned, go into the
Calibrate -> Rotation
offset
menu. Look at the sensors current rotation, the number in
<>
.
Observe what the rotation angle reads.
10. If the rotating angle is within plus or minus 80° of zero, no adjustment
is needed, please continue to step 15. If the rotation angle is outside
the 80° tolerance the rotation arm needs to be adjusted.
11. Remove the cables from the rotation sensor, and remove the fixation
of the anti rotation arm. Lift up the sensor.
12. Make a mark at the bottom of the sensor were the drive arm is
currently located. Turn the drive arm until the sensor angle reads 0°.
Loosen the screw holding the drive arm using a Torx T6 screwdriver.
Move the drive arm to the position of the mark without the centre
axel moving.
13. Place material, such as a folded business card or credit card, under the
drive arm to space the arm from the sensor, and tighten the screw
holding the drive arm.
