Sitting in the cab facing forward, the sensor angles are 0° straight ahead (horizontal), +90° straight
up, and -90° directly down (Figure 2).

The Main and Auxiliary (Aux) antennas provide positional and heading information.
•
Main antenna – determines 3D machine position.
•
Aux antenna – determines heading using relative position.
Using TS-i3 sensors, the 3D position of the bucket is projected from the Main antenna.
