  16. Units of measure The following units of measures are supported with the listed resolution and min max ranges Note: Negative sign is used for negative runtime elevation numbers. Icons are used for positive, negative and zero runtime slope numbers.

  17. Benching – Elevation Control • Press and Hold the bench button to bench the display • Display of green LED and a beep will indicate to the user that the benching was successful

  18. Benching – Slope Control • Press and Hold the Bench button to bench the display • Display of green LED and a beep will indicate to the user that the benching was successful • For Slope control, when we bench we take samples of the slope readings, average the samples, and display the average number • The averaged number becomes the control set point

  19. Slope Sensor Calibration • In this screen enter the measured slope • The difference between this value and the slope sensor reading is the calibration offset • This is stored and used until it is done again • Slope calibration is performed same as elevation runtime number edit • Tap elevation/slope button, number highlights • Use up/down errors to adjust number to measured slope • Tap elevation/slope button to exit slope calibration • Note: Sensor calibration is stored in the sensor • IF you exit without changing the number, then nothing is changed

  20. Measure Mode - Enter • To enter measure mode: • Press and hold the Auto/Manual button for three (3) seconds • When in measure mode the runtime screen will display a ‘ruler’ icon to the left of the runtime number being displayed

  21. Measure Mode - Exit • To exit measure mode: • Tap the Auto/Manual button • Benches the height or slope • Puts you in Auto • Press and hold the Auto/Manual button for three (3) seconds • Return to runtime screen without benching and remain in manual mode • Remember: IF you exit without changing the number, then nothing is changed

  22. Runtime Screen • Runtime Mode is the mode you are normally in • The number displayed is the “Runtime Number

  23. Single & Dual Side Screens Single Side Screen Dual Side Screen (Left side)

  24. Paving Runtime Screen Icons

  25. Paving Runtime Icons • Icons that appear in the Runtime area of the screen to show you the status of the system

  26. Paving Runtime Icons • Screed • This icon represents the machine’s screed • This icon is always displayed at the top of the screen • Zero Slope • Indicates zero slope • Positive Slope • Indicates positive slope • Positive slope means that right side of the screed above level • Negative Slope • Indicates negative slope • Negative slope means that left side of the screed is above level

  27. Paving Runtime Icons • 2D Systems • Slope Control Indicates the slope is being controlled using a slope sensor • This icon is displayed on the System Config Status Window when slope mode is selected by pushing Elevation/Slope select soft button • 3D Systems • Can have slope from Design = 3D Slope • Or Fixed to set value = 2D Slope • Grayed out icon means configured but missing

  28. Paving Runtime Icons • 3D System is controlling height • MT900 is being measured and compared to Design • Grayed out icon means configured but missing • One sonic sensor over string line • To measure one sonic sensor is detected in the bus and is configured for string line operation • NOT One sonic sensor over string line • To indicate one sonic sensor was detected and was configured as sonic over string line operation after power up but disconnected later

  29. Paving Runtime Icons • Side Identification • Indicates the left or right side assignment the Display detects via function instance. E.g., when left side is detected this icon is displayed on the left side of the machine icon. • One sonic sensor over surface • To indicate one sonic sensor is detected in the bus and the system is configured as sonic over surface • This icon is displayed to the left or right of ‘screed’ icon based on the function instance of the sensor. • NOT One sonic sensor over surface • To indicate one sonic sensor was detected and was configured as sonic over surface operation after power up but disconnected later • Two sonic sensors over surface • To indicate two sonic sensors are detected in the bus and the system is configured as sonic over surface • This icon is displayed to the left or right of ‘screed’ icon based on the function instance of the sensor. • NOT Two sonic sensors over surface • To indicate two sonic sensors were detected and were configured as sonic over surface operation after power up but disconnected later

  30. Paving Runtime Icons • Three sonic sensors over surface • To indicate three sonic sensors are detected in the bus and the system is configured as sonic over surface. • This icon is displayed to the left or right of ‘screed’ icon based on the function instance of the sensor. • NOT Three sonic sensors over surface • To indicate three sonic sensors were detected and were configured as sonic over surface operation after power up but disconnected later • Contact sensor • To indicate one contact sensor is detected in the bus • This icon is displayed to the left or right of ‘screed’ icon based on the function instance of the sensor • NOT Contact sensor • To indicate one contact sensor was detected in the bus after power up but disconnected later • This icon is displayed to the left or right of ‘screed’ icon based on the function instance of the sensor.

  31. Paving Runtime Icons • Move right • To indicate that the screed should move to the right to stay centered over the stringline • This user feedback is only available when using a single sonic ski over a stringline. • Move left • To indicate that the screed should move to the left to stay centered over the stringline • This user feedback is only available when using a single sonic ski over a stringline. • Auto control • To indicate the machine is running in the automatic control • Manual control • To indicate the machine is running in the manual control

  32. Single Side Control Mode • Single Side Control Mode is one of the display modes of the runtime screen • Only one side of the screed will be controlled • The side to control is automatically determined from the function instance

  33. Single Side Control Mode • The Display side from function instance is displayed by an icon on the corresponding side of the screen • Display controls sensor icon for that side • Light bar is used to display grade guidance for that side • LED’s of only one side of the display are lit • In Elevation Control Mode the Elevation is adjusted by applying an offset using the increment/decrement soft switches

  34. Single Side Control Mode • In Slope Control Mode the Slope is adjusted by applying an offset using the increase/decrease soft switches • In slope control mode, positive, negative, or zero slope icons indicate the sign of the slope • In elevation control mode ‘-’ signs will be used to indicate a negative elevation number • Auto / Manual state is displayed • Can cycle through the control modes
