Today we’re taking a closer look on how to install this X22 Topcon System. It's a 2D system which allows us to excavate more accurately. These little yellow boxes are the sensors that have to be attached to the excavator, each has its own specific position. You only have to charge them once a week of operation. This box comes with everything you need for operation. The six sensors are labeled so you know where they go on the machine. This one here goes on the back next to the cabin, and with these we go from front to back. It doesn't matter which way around you put these sensors in the bracket, it works either way. You just have to make sure you slide them all the way in and that they’re secured, so they don't get lost while working. First we install the one for the tilt. Then this one is the bucket one. Now we have two for the boom, boom 1 and 2 from front to back. And the last one is the compass on the top of the machine. This kit comes with a heavy duty suction cup to attach the display unit inside. Now the power cord needs to be connected to the onboard power outlet. Down here we have the power button. This is the start screen and now I have to go through the setup before i can start working. Right now it is set to german but you can change the language to english in the settings. First we have to choose the right bucket that is already installed. So I select the correct one and go back with the arrow. Here I choose the excavator I am using this kit with. Because you have the option to use this kit on different excavators. Now after putting in the main information I click on start digging. But before we can do that I need to tell the system the measurements that we are using. I have to put the bucket teeth on the point that the surveyor gave me. So let's say this is the point. Now the machine tells me to raise my tooth tip by 2 meters, which is displayed in numerical values on the monitor. We click okay for now, but if you want to be precise you can check with a measuring stick, if it’s exactly 2 meters. Now he wants me to extend the boom all the way. I only move the boom and stick to get back to my home point, without using the bucket. If I lift that up now, I'll create such a triangle here. The monitor displays the movements of the boom simultaneously. So now I'm back on my measuring point from before and say next. Retract the bucket completely and press "continue". This way the system adjusts the digging curve. Now again, I have to go back to my measuring point with the bucket teeth. Now the adjusting is finished and it's ready for use. Next I have to tell it what kind of work to do, by creating a new work. Do I want to excavate a profile, a level, or kinks? Let's say I want to dig a ditch. It displays again the chosen setup, the mode, the control, excavator type and the bucket. Also my type of reference is displayed here. Besides a given Point by a surveyor it could also be a laser for example. Now it simulates a ditch that is 2 meters deep. I can change my depth here if I want. Let's say, I want to change it to 1,8 meters. Now I want to have a longitudinal slope in there. I change that from 2% to 3%. I also want to change the trench width. Now I want to add an embankment at the top. I choose 45 degrees and save that. Here I see my trench profile. As soon as I start working, the excavator stands exactly at 0 altitude and from there I get it exactly displayed. This is basically how you can set this system up.
