Gen3 - Installation - Configuration and Sensor Calibrations
The final process of the Gen3 LMS installation is to configure and calibrate the EQSS system on the machine
The Display and the Display SD card are configured in the factory and are based on the information in your initial order. When the Gen3 system is first installed, it's a good idea to check and verify the SD card configuration is the correct one for your machine.
Follow the hyperlinked instructions in the Gen-3 Configuration Tool Tech Doc to download and install all relevant EQSS software. Initiate the 'Gen-3 Configuration Tool' as per the Tech Doc. Observe the Pre Loaded Configuration and verify that the Current Model matches your machine's make and model. If it doesn't, then make the appropriate selection of your machine model in the 'Machine Model' tab and then follow the Tech Doc instructions to save the changes to the SD card.
Example below is a JCB 541-70 Telehandler
Check that your machine's serial number matches the one under the 'Setting' tab. When you have verified/changed your system, you should then complete the sensor calibrations as outlined below.
Sensor Calibrations
The CPIM contains a dual axis inclinometer that is used to determine the operational chassis angle of the telehandler (carrier angle). In a newly installed Gen3 system, the carrier angle should be calibrated first. However, before calibrating this carrier angle, the CPIM orientation should be checked and changed if necessary, to match the Gen3 expected mounting orientation. This can be verified by navigating to the sensor calibrations on the sensors page.
Then proceed to test the CPIM orientation setting. Tilt the machine to the left, the lateral angle will go negative, tilt the machine to the right and the lateral angle will go positive. Drive the machine up a hill and the longitudinal angle will go positive. Drive the machine down a hill and the longitudinal angle will go negative. If the angles do not change as specified, then change the CPIM orientation setting (unbolt the CPIM and remount correctly). When you are satisfied that the CPIM has been mounted correctly, find a very level surface to complete the carrier angle calibration. Workshop concrete floors are usually level enough for this purpose.
Navigate to the 'Calibrate Boom Angle' on the sensor calibrations page. The next calibration that should be completed is the 'Boom Angle' calibration. This is accomplished by placing a spirit level on the boom, where it can be seen from inside the vehicle cabin. Whilst sitting in the cabin, raise the boom until the spirit level shows - level. Follow the instructions on the Gen3 display page to complete the boom angle calibration. The boom angle calibration is now complete.
The final sensor calibration is the boom length calibration. Navigate to the 'Calibrate Boom Length' on the sensor calibrations page. All step by step calibrations instructions are listed on the sensor calibrations page, within the Gen3 display. First telescope the boom all the way in to home position. If stabilizers are fitted to the machine, they must be fully lowered. Then slowly telescope the boom out as far as it will go (listening for the tell tale hydraulic groan when the end is reached). Press the calibrate button using the navigation switch. The boom length calibration is now complete. Now that the sensor calibrations are complete, they can be
verified in the diagnostics page. The raw sensor data is similar to what is shown on the
diagnostics screen.
To test the measurements:
Move the machine to level ground, fully retract the boom
and level the boom angle. Use a tape measure to measure the radius to the tilt pivot. Measure from the front of the wheel along the ground to the tilt pivot pin for the attachment
head. Compare the calculated radius to tilt pivot value on the diagnostics page with the
actual measured value. Then compare the calculated height to tilt pivot value on the diagnostics page with the
actual measured value.
Now fully extend the boom while keeping the
boom angle level. Measure from the front of the wheel, along the ground to the tilt pivot pin
for the attachment head and compare against the calculated value for the radius to the tilt
pivot on the diagnostics page.
When fully completed, please fill out the downloadable Post Installation Checklist found here: Post Installation Checklist Download
