Assisted/Auto Steering

tilt CorreCtion

When a Steering Control Module (SCM) or Tilt Gyro Module (TGM) 

is present, Tilt Correction options will be available.  The Tilt function 

corrects the GPS signal to compensate for errors in the GPS position 

while operating on sloped terrain.

NOTE:  A mistake in the calibration process that results in a 1 degree 

error in the Tilt reading from the SCM/TGM will result in a 

2.0 in. / 5.1 cm  error in guidance [on a machine that has 

9.5 ft. / 2.9 m antenna height].  This potential error necessitates 

that all reasonable care is taken to ensure that the system is 

installed and calibrated correctly in order to produce accurate 

Tilt measurement and machine guidance.

1.  Press CONFIGURATION side tab 

.

2. 

Press 

 Tilt Correction 

.

3.  Select if Tilt Correction is enabled or disabled.
4.  When enabled, select 

 Field Level 

 to calibrate tilt correction

5.  Press RETURN arrow 

 or CONFIGURATION side tab 

 to 

return to the main Configuration screen.

NOTE:  If FieldPilot or UniPilot is being used, a Tilt Gyro Module is built 

into the system.

NOTE:  Antenna Height must be entered prior to Field Level procedure.
Figure GS-32: Tilt Correction

If the vehicle is in motion, the field level option will not be available. 

Vehicle must be stopped for at least 10 seconds to begin to calibrate tilt 

correction.

will not be available. Vehicle must be stopped for at least 

10 seconds to begin to calibrate tilt correction.

Figure GS-34: Tilt Enable/Disable 

If tilt correction is set to “Disable”, field leveling capabilities will be 

disabled (option will be grayed out).
