Automatic Calibration of Machine Hydraulics
General
Automatic Calibration will set many of the hydraulic settings for the
machine. Specifically, Idle Speed, Min Speed, Symmetry, and Gains for all
sensors. It also sets deadband, cutoff thresholds and
cross coupling
values to default (recommended) values.
It is essential that the machine type is set correctly to dozer or
grader, that the proper valve type is selected and that Max Power
has been set correctly.
Requirements for Automatic Calibration:
•
Grader: Cross Slope Sensor and Blade Width Measurement.
•
Dozer - Right (Tilt): Cross Slope Sensor and blade width measure-
ment.
•
Dozer - Left (Lift): Mast Slope Sensor and blade pivot measurement.
If Dual-Slope Sensor is not installed, a second Single Slope Sensor can be
rotated counter-clockwise 90° around the vertical axis and mounted
temporarily on the blade using magnetic mounts. Disconnect the original
Single Slope Sensor if it is mounted on the blade during the calibration of
the Left/Lift side hydraulics.
Note: The SP sensor is a Dual Slope sensor, so rotating the sensor for left
side Auto-Calibration is not necessary
