Install sensor in
bottom 1/3 of
dipper arm
String Line
Dipper sensor
The dipper sensor will need to be located on the dipper arm as low as possible.The higher the sensor is
located on the dipper stick, the more the boom and dipper has to be dropped to catch the beam. Be aware
of the location of hoses and pipes that may inhibit a clear line of sight to the sensor when using the laser
catch function.
Be aware of the crush zone of the dog bone coming onto the arm as the bucket crowds in and out.
Note also where any auxiliary hoses are being plugged in and out that may spill oil onto the sensor.
These locations are to be avoided avoided if possible.
For more accurate calibration and ease of setup regarding the laser catch function, you may want to
consider installing the dipper sensor using the following directions. This will allow you to manually enter
accurate measurements into the laser calibration setup stage and the system will be maximally accurate
when using the laser catch function.
You will want to rotate the dipper sensor forward (counter clock-wise) slightly 10°-15° from when the
Dipper arm is set at 90° to the ground. This again helps with catching the laser.
Suitably clean the chosen area with brake cleaner and wipe dry. Clean the surface of the boom as well as
the back of the mounting bracket with the 3M VHB wipes and then stick the bracket onto the boom.
If you are using a secondary mounting plate between the sensor bracket and the machine, screw the
bracket onto the plate and follow the same process as above.
Recommended Installation method of dipper sensor in conjunction with Laser
catch calibration.
Using a magnetic plumb bob or a string line and magnets, create a line
that is between the centre points of the dipper stick pivot pin and the
bucket pivot pin.
In the bottom 1/3 of the dipper arm, place the sensor on a point so that
the very centre of the laser receiver is on this line, rotate the sensor
forward (away from the cab) slightly by 10-15°.
Take a measurement from the centre of the top pin to the centre of the
sensor, this will be the A-C measurement. The A-B Measurement will be 0.
Enter these measurements via the System Settings menu once the main
iDig calibration steps are complete.
