iCON grade, Calibrating the System
Measuring the horizontal distance can be done by using a strait metal or
wooden rod and a sprit leveler.
Place the rod so that the edge of the rod is at the centre of the sensor
mount point, then use the sprit leveler to make sure that the rod is
vertical in the machine direction. Then you can measure the horizontal
distance from the rod edge to the blade edge. See figure 8.
See if the sensor mount point is in front of or behind the blade edge and
select that in the UMC3D, then enter the measured value. The example
above in figure 5 has the mast 0.3 m behind the blade edge.
Calibrating the Mast slope sensor
When installing the mast slope sensor it’s very important to make sure
that the sensor is placed so that the calibration offset is as small as
possible. Ideally it should be /- 2.0%.
