IntroductionP/N 7010-1020 1-1IntroductionCongratulations on your new X-22 System. You are now ready for quicker, safer and more accurate work with your new workmate, X-22.This manual contains descriptions of the user interface and ideas for working with the X-22 System. But don’t let this limit your use of X-22. X-22 can almost certainly be used in ways we have not thought of or described in this manual. When on site, you are the expert – all we have done is offer you the best workmate an excavator driver could wish for.Enjoy your work!Operating PrincipleThe X-22 software was designed to give you all necessary information for the current job, just by glancing at the screen. Some of the information, such as the height alarm, is also provided by X-22 in the form of sound signals.To give you this information X-22 needs your help. To get started, you first have to tell X-22 what type of work or project you intend to carry out. You then tell X-22 where this work is to be done by referencing.With this complete, the excavator is able to sit with its undercarriage in one place while you dig and swing the superstructure to your heart's content. X-22 has complete control over where the machine is in relation to the project. If the undercarriage moves, for instance, because you have transferred to a new location, you must tell X-22 this by referencing again. Once referencing is complete, continue digging, and X-22 continues to make the right measurements.This is how daily work proceeds, and in this way X-22 helps you by displaying the excavator in terms of work, height, length, slope and
X-22 User’s Manual1-2whatever else you need to carry out your work to a centimeter’s precision.Updating the SoftwareYou can see which version of the software you have in the top right-hand corner of the Main Menu (e.g. “v1.6.0.1”).

P/N 7010-1020Chapter 22-1Getting AcquaintedThe following chapter describes the basic features of the X-22 excavator indicate system software.The Digging WindowFigure 2-1. Digging WindowIn the Digging Window, you will find all the information you need for digging. You can also choose what you would like to see displayed for optimal adaptation of the screen to you and your needs. This chapter describes what you will see in the Digging Window and how you can use it.
X-22 User’s Manual2-2Target ballOn the left side of the Digging Window (Figure 2-1 on page 2-1) you will see the Target Ball . This functions as a zoom. As the bucket tip approaches the digging depth, the ball begins to move. When the Target Ball is in the center of the circle, the bucket tip is exactly at the desired digging depth. The two horizontal lines show the working area.Bucket HeightThe top left-hand corner of the Digging Window (Figure 2-2)shows the vertical distance from the measurement point on the bucket tip to the entered digging depth. Figure 2-2. Bucket Height
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-3Top View of MachineAt the top right-hand of the Digging Window (Figure 2-3) the excavator and the project are viewed from above. This can be very helpful for returning to a lengthways direction, for example in the case of a trench.Figure 2-3. Top View
X-22 User’s Manual2-4Bucket ViewIn the top center of the Digging Window (Figure 2-4) the bucket is displayed as viewed from the driver’s cab with the project below. This window is particularly useful if you have a tilt bucket and tilt sensor. It shows both the tilt angle on the bucket and the gradient/slope of the project perpendicular (90 degrees) to the direction of the boom. The bucket in the window can also change color to show that the tilt angle on the bucket is too small, too large or correct for the project.Figure 2-4. Bucket View
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-5LengthYou can also bring up the length from a given point to the bucket tip. The length will be shown in yellow text under the bucket height. Length is a separate referencing system which measures the horizontal distance from the length referencing point to the bucket tip. The distance is measured with respect to the circle center on the undercarriage, so that the measured length does not alter as the superstructure swings around.This can be very useful when laying pipes for example. Press Graphics and then choose Visible elements to turn on length referencing.Side View of MachineBeing able to see the excavator from the side during the project is probably the most important function for you as driver, and is therefore the main focus in the Digging Window.Figure 2-5. Side View
X-22 User’s Manual2-6Digging Window ButtonsThe menu in the Digging Window has a large number of functions that are just a click away.MenuReferenceBenchmark LaserPress the reference button to perform a new reference, and follow the on-screen instructions.This button opens and closes the Menu. If you have chosen benchmark as your referencing method, the reference button will show the image of a bucket.If you have chosen laser as your referencing method, the reference button will show the image of a laser.
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-7Swap PointLength ReferencingMeasureVerifyPress this button (Move) to use the swap point function and follow the on-screen instructions.Place the bucket tip on the reference point and press this button to start measuring the horizontal distance from the reference point to the bucket tip. This button only appears on the Menu when length referencing is turned on. Press Graphics and then choose Visible elements to turn on length referencing.Place the bucket tip on the reference point and press this button to start measuring length, height, distance and gradient/slope from the reference point. Press the button once more to return to the project you are working on.Pressing this button gives you access to a procedure which lets you verify whether X-22 is measuring accurately or not. If it is not doing so, you can also press Verify, and select Troubleshooting to identify and correct any errors.
X-22 User’s Manual2-8Work/ProjectGraphical SettingsSound SettingsPress this button to view and alter settings on the project you are working on. If you wish to start a new project, this can also be done here.By pressing this button you can change what is displayed in the Digging Window and how it is displayed. Press this button to change when X-22 will give a sound signal during digging. The settings for the height alarm are also located here.NOTICEThe sound integrated in X-22 is very quiet. External beeper with a loud sound can be purchased from your dealer.
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-9Types of Work/ProjectsX-22 allows you to select the following types of work:• Flat plane•Single slope•Dual slope•Trench• Profile• Channel• Embankment• Bucket-defined slopeThe type of work is also called a project. The following sections contain a description of the different projects and what settings need to be entered.
X-22 User’s Manual2-10Flat PlaneFigure 2-6. Flat Plane SurfaceA flat plane is a horizontal surface without gradient in any direction. This means you only need to set two things in X-22:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth)NOTICEIn flat-plane digging the Digging Window does not show the machine from above. On a flat plane the vertical distance from the bucket tip to the digging depth is the same whatever direction the superstructure is facing.
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-11Single SlopeFigure 2-7. Single Slope SurfaceA single slope is a surface with a gradient in one defined direction. In X-22 you must set the following to work on single slopes:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth)• The gradient/slope• Direction of gradient/slope (if compass is turned on)
X-22 User’s Manual2-12Dual SlopeFigure 2-8. Dual Slope SurfaceA dual slope is a surface with a gradient both lengthways and sideways. In X-22 you must set the following to work on dual slopes:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth)• Gradient/slope in lengthways direction • Gradient/slope to the side • Direction of gradient/slope in lengthways direction (if compass is turned on)NOTEIf you enter the sideways gradient as zero, the project will be the same as a single slope.
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-13TrenchFigure 2-9. TrenchA trench is a single slope of limited width. The limitation lies in the width of the trench base and the walls sloping up from the base. A trench has the following settings:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to trench bottom)• Gradient/slope in lengthways direction • Width of trench• Gradient/slope of trench walls• Direction of gradient/slope in lengthways direction (if compass is turned on)
X-22 User’s Manual2-14ProfileFigure 2-10. ProfileA profile consists of two horizontal surfaces of different height with a single slope between them. In X-22 you must set the following to work on a profile:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth)• Gradient/slope in lengthways direction • Height from starting point to base of profile• Direction of gradient/slope in lengthways direction (if compass is turned on)
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-15ChannelFigure 2-11. Channel SurfaceA channel consists of three horizontal surfaces with single slopes between them as shown on the illustration opposite, and has the same gradient on both sides of the channel base. With a channel the following settings must be entered:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth)• Gradient/slope in lengthways direction • Length of channel base• Height from starting point to base of channel• Direction of gradient/slope in lengthways direction (if compass is turned on)
X-22 User’s Manual2-16EmbankmentFigure 2-12. Embankment SurfaceAn embankment consists of three horizontal surfaces with single slopes between them as shown on the illustration opposite, and has the same gradient on both sides of the embankment top. With an embankment the following settings must be entered:• The referencing method• The reference height (vertical distance from reference point to digging depth)• Gradient/slope in lengthways direction • Length of top of embankment• Height from starting point to top of embankment• Direction of gradient/slope in lengthways direction (if compass is turned on)
Getting AcquaintedP/N 7010-1020 2-17Bucket-definedFigure 2-13. Bucket-defined Single Slope SurfaceBucket-defined is used to indicate a single slope using the bucket tip. This can be useful, for instance when forming a single slope up to the foundations of a garage.By referencing the bucket tip to two different points, X-22 will calculate the gradient, direction of gradient and digging depth and store these settings in the same way as for a single slope.NOTICEDo not rotate the superstructure until you have referenced both points.
X-22 User’s ManualNotes:2-18
P/N 7010-1020Chapter 33-1X-22 SetupThe following chapter describes how to setup the X-22 software.Work/Project SettingsMany of the settings entered are the same for the different projects. Selecting a new project in X-22 guides you through the setup procedure for these settings using images and text.This chapter also gives a detailed description of the most important project settings. Reference HeightThe reference height is the vertical distance from the reference to the digging depth. If you use a rotating laser for referencing, the laser plane will be the reference and if you use the bucket tip for referencing, the benchmark you place the bucket tip on will be the reference.You can use the reference height actively when working on a project. Say you have set the reference height to 1.0 m and have finished levelling out a site foundation. If your next task is to lay 10 centimeters of crushed stones on the foundation base, you can change NOTICENotice that the reference height will be positive if the digging height lies below the reference. A reference height of 1.0 m (3.28 ft.) will thus result in a digging depth of 1.0 m (3.28 ft.) below the reference.
X-22 User’s Manual3-2the reference height to 0.9 m and use X-22 to check that the layer of crushed stones has the correct height/thickness.If you have been given the heights as elevations and have benchmarks at a particular elevation, you can use X-22’s integral calculator to work out the reference height.Gradient/Slope in Lengthways DirectionThis is the gradient in the direction of the boom when Direction of slope is entered.Gradient/Slope to the SideThis applies only to Dual slope and is the gradient perpendicular (90 degrees) to the lengthways direction. For all other projects, the gradient/slope to the side is zero.Direction of SlopeThis is the lengthways direction of the slope and is indicated by pointing the boom in the lengthways direction of the slope. When you press OK on the screen, X-22 stores this direction using the compass.ReferencingX-22 always knows where the bucket tip is in relation to the rotation center of the undercarriage, but in order to know where the rotation center and thus the bucket tip is in relation to the project, X-22 must be referenced. This is done with a benchmark or a rotating laser.NOTICEIf the excavator is standing in loose material, the machine may creep. X-22 will not notice this and you should therefore re-reference if the machine is creeping a great deal.
X-22 SetupP/N 7010-1020 3-3Once you have created a new project you are automatically invited to reference when you go into the Digging Window. To perform a new reference, press Reference in the Digging Window menu. Referencing with BenchmarkA benchmark is a point with a known height in relation to the digging depth of your current project. Figure 3-1. Benchmark ReferencePlace the bucket tip on the benchmark, and press OK.NOTICEIf you have chosen Profile, Channel or Embankment, the benchmark must also have a known position in relation to the project. See the screen images for the current project for further details.
X-22 User’s Manual3-4Referencing with LaserX-22 can also be referenced by detecting the laser ray from a rotating laser with the laser receiver on the arm sensor. During referencing, the screen will show where the laser ray has hit the laser receiver.Figure 3-2. Laser ReferencePress OK when the laser ray touches the center point.NOTICEThe laser must be set with exactly the same gradient/slope and direction as entered for the project in X-22.
X-22 SetupP/N 7010-1020 3-5To find the laser plane as quickly as possible, you can first move the arm relatively quickly through the area you expect to find the laser ray in, while simultaneously watching the screen for a hit. When the laser ray hits its target, go back to the correct height and adjust until the laser ray touches the center.Figure 3-3. Laser ReferenceNOTICEThe advantage of a rotating laser is that it can cover large areas with very high accuracy. You avoid having to use many benchmarks and avoid the risk of losing accuracy when moving the excavator. Contact your dealer for offers of X-22 quality lasers.
X-22 User’s Manual3-6Digging SlopesAll projects except Flat plane include surfaces with a slope.The gradient/slope is entered in X-22 as a percentage (%), unless Bucket-defined project is selected. If the gradient/slope has been specified as a ratio (e.g. 1:8) or in degrees (e.g. 12.5) you can use X-22’s integral calculator to translate these values into percentages.Enter the direction of the slope by pointing the boom in the lengthways direction of the slope.This is illustrated by a single slope in Figure 3-4 on page 3-7. In this image, the superstructure is in line with a single slope of 30% gradient. In Figure 3-5 on page 3-7, the superstructure has rotated through 90 degrees. As can be seen from the images, the gradient/slope in the boom direction displayed under the machine changes from 30% to 0% (zero).NOTICEA slope has the gradient you entered, in the lengthways direction entered. Using its compass, X-22 constantly calculates the gradient in the boom direction as the superstructure swings around. This applies to all projects with a slope.
X-22 SetupP/N 7010-1020 3-7Figure 3-4. Example of 30% Single Slope in Digging WindowFigure 3-5. Example of 0% Single Slope in Digging Window
X-22 User’s Manual3-8Moving the UndercarriageWhen you have referenced and finished digging at the point where the undercarriage is standing and need to move to a new location, you will need to inform X-22. The following describes three ways you can do this.Option 1: New ReferenceAfter moving the undercarriage to a new position you can re-reference to a benchmark or laser plane. Option 2: Retain the Same HeightIf you have been digging down to the desired depth, you can continue referencing this digging depth instead of the benchmark or laser plane you started with. You can do this be altering the reference height in the project to zero, selecting benchmark as the referencing method and then referencing the bucket tip on the excavated area after moving the machine.
X-22 SetupP/N 7010-1020 3-9Option 3: Swap Point FunctionFigure 3-6. Swap Point FunctionThe swap point function is available for projects Flat plane, Single slope and Dual slope. Before you move the undercarriage, place the bucket tip on a point which can also be reached from the place you will be moving the undercarriage to. Press “OK” on the screen. Move the undercarriage and position the bucket tip on the same point. Press “OK” on the screen again.Graphical Settings By pressing Graphics you access a menu on which you can choose the appearance of the Digging Window in order to adapt it optimally to you and your needs at any time.
X-22 User’s Manual3-10Measurement Point of BucketHere you can choose whether to use the middle of the bucket tip, or the left or right bucket tip as reference point. Visible ElementsHere you can select which elements are to be shown in the Digging Window.Brightness of Digging WindowX-22 has a so-called transreflective screen to give you the best possible picture when sunlight is directly on the screen. If it is dark outside and you find the light from the screen too bright, you can dim it here. Note that it takes approx. 10 seconds to open the Digging Window while the screen is being dimmed.Angular Difference for Bucket WarningYou can use this function if you have a tilting bucket and tilting sensor. In the window showing the bucket from the driver’s cab, the color of the bucket will change to show that the sideways angle of the bucket blade is too large, too small or correct for the project. Here you can enter how large an angular difference you will accept before the bucket changes colour.Working AreaThe size of the working area determines when the target ball will start to move and when the “Color warning” will be given. By increasing the size of the working area you make the target ball less sensitive.NOTICEThe bucket measurement point is used everywhere in X-22 where you are asked to use the bucket tip.
X-22 SetupP/N 7010-1020 3-11FocusHere you can choose whether you want the excavator undercarriage to be stationary while you work or if you want the bucket to remain stationary while the rest of the excavator and the project move around. Color WarningHere you can select whether X-22 will give you a color warning when the measurement point on the bucket tip is above or below the indicated working area. You can choose between a color change on the background to the screen, to the whole excavator or just the bucket.Size of ExcavatorHere you can select how much space the excavator will take up on the screen by increasing or reducing its size. Position of ExcavatorHere you can move the excavator around the screen. Appearance of ExcavatorHere you can select how the excavator will look from the side. Change the appearance to a small machine if you have a small excavator with the boom fixed in front of the driver's cab.NOTICEIf X-22 is correctly installed, it will measure to an accuracy of one centimeter on a normal excavator. The size of the working area will not affect measurement accuracy.
X-22 User’s Manual3-12Sound SettingsSound signals can be a useful aid in addition to the screen display. Here you can decide whether you want a sound signal when the measurement point on the bucket tip is in or under the working area. The height alarm also has a sound signal.Height AlarmThe height alarm will warn you if the top of the arm or bucket is over a certain height above the underside of the tracks. To turn the height alarm on, you need to enter two extra excavator dimensions and indicate the alarm height. Using the CompassIn order to make full use of X-22 when excavating sloping projects, it is essential that the compass gives an accurate measurement. It is therefore important that the compass is well calibrated.However, sometimes the compass may not give an accurate reading even when the undercarriage is level. The greater the gradient/slope in the project, the greater the error in bucket height will be if the compass is measuring incorrectly.NOTICENote that the height alarm is indicated in relation to the underside of the excavator tracks and not in relation to the project.NOTICENote that the compass is at its most accurate when the undercarriage is horizontal.
X-22 SetupP/N 7010-1020 3-13When excavating across large slopes you should therefore consider turning off the compass and keeping track of the direction yourself. You can turn off the compass by selecting Main menu Setup Hardware Sensors and marking the PitchRollCompass sensor. Select Details. Then select Compass on and press Change. Speed of SensorsExcavators may vibrate a great deal or very little, depending on rpm, size, age, make etc. and this will affect the sensors’ angular measurements. X-22 has been designed to ensure the sensors give the optimum in stable, quick and accurate angular measurements in all types of excavators.It is therefore possible to alter the sensitivity and damping of the sensors for the best possible match with your excavator. At the factory the sensors are set with the aim of being stable when the excavator is stationary, but reacting immediately when the machine moves. To make changes to this, select Main Menu Setup Hardware Sensors, and press Sensitivity. SensitivitySensitivity indicates how strong the vibrations in the excavator must be before X-22 interprets this as a movement of the machine. By increasing the sensitivity, smaller vibrations in the machine may be interpreted as a movement of the machine. Reducing the sensitivity means that it will take larger vibrations to be interpreted as a movement of the machine.
X-22 User’s Manual3-14DampingDamping indicates how much the angular measurements will be filtered when the excavator is stationary. Filtering makes the angular measurements stable and accurate despite vibrations. By increasing the damping, X-22 will react more slowly to small and limited movements in the machine.By reducing the damping, X-22 will react more quickly to small and limited movements in the machine.Damping is set high at the factory and can thus be probably adjusted downwards.
P/N 7010-1020Chapter 44-1TroubleshootingIn this section you will find answers to the following questions:The X-22 Display is not responding, what should I do?......... page 4-1The sensors are not responding, what should I do?................page 4-1A sensor is damaged, what should I do?...............................page 4-1How do I recalibrate a sensor?..............................................page 4-1The system is not measuring accurately, what should I do?....page 4-2The compass is measuring incorrectly, what should I do?......page 4-2The laser sensor is not working, what should I do?...............page 4-2The X-22 Display is not responding, what should I do?Most X-22 problems can be solved by turning the X-22 Display off and on.The sensors are not responding, what should I do?If you are having problems making contact with the sensors, proceed as follows: Turn the X-22 Display off and put all the sensors in the charger for a few minutes. The sensors will then be reset while they are being charged. Take all the sensors out of the charger and turn the X-22 Display back on.A sensor is damaged, what should I do?You can obtain a new sensor by contacting your dealer. Delete the damaged sensor from the X-22 Display before entering the new one.
X-22 User’s Manual4-2How do I recalibrate a sensor?If you have already calibrated the sensors and want to recalibrate one, proceed as follows: Select Main menu Setup Hardware Sensors and highlight the sensor you want to calibrate. Select Details. Then select Calibrated and press Change. The system is not measuring accurately, what should I do?If the system is not measuring accurately, a dimension or calibration value is probably wrong. Select Verify from the menu in the Digging Window, and press Troubleshooting. X-22 will then help you identify the problem and rectify it. Follow the on-screen instructions.The compass is measuring incorrectly, what should I do?The compass in the PitchRollCompass sensor is magnetic and has to be calibrated in order to measure correctly. Therefore try recalibrating the compass to see if this helps. Select Main Menu Setup Hardware Sensors PitchRollCompass Details. Then select Calibrated, and press Change.If you want to check how well the compass is calibrated, you can select Main MenuSetupHardwareSensors PitchRollCompassVerify. When the machine is stationary and the superstructure is rotated, the compass measurements should ideally form a perfect circle with the center at the origin.In certain special circumstances the magnetic compass can be disrupted so much that it should not be used. In this situation the heading on the screen can change even if the machine is at a complete standstill. If this happens, the compass should be turned off. Select Main menu Setup Hardware Sensors and highlight the PitchRollCompass sensor. Select “Details”. Then select “Compass
TroubleshootingP/N 7010-1020 4-3on” and press “Change”. All the software functions that use the heading measurements from the compass will now disappear and you will have to keep track of the heading yourself.In situations where there are large fluctuations in the magnetic field around the machine all the time, the compass calibration will not be able to compensate for the disturbances. An example of such a situation is if the machine is close to a railway line that is in use: Trains are surrounded by a strong magnetic field, which will badly disrupt the compass measurements whenever a train goes past. In this case the heading displayed on the screen could change even if the machine is at a complete standstill.Working in the vicinity of high-voltage cables can also cause problems for the magnetic compass. The laser sensor is not working, what should I do?The laser sensor may have problems detecting the laser beam in strong sunlight, particularly if the sun is shining straight into the photoelectric cell. If this happens, the amount of sunlight hitting the cell will have to be reduced by turning the sensor away from the sun, for example. If the laser sensor is exposed to strobe lighting, a rotating flashing light or the like, the sensor may be misled into thinking that it has detected the laser.If the laser sensor does not respond to the laser beam at all, even at close range, the photoelectric cell has probably been damaged. In this case you will have to contact your dealer to have the sensor replaced.
