GCS600 for Excavators

The GCS600 HEX is an entry-level grade guidance system designed for hydraulic excavators, both tracked and wheeled. With reach, depth, and slope capabilities, it features 3 angle sensors, a dual-axis pitch/roll sensor, and a CB410 control box. This reliable and durable system offers underwater bucket operation and is resistant to vibration, dust, and impact. It supports multiple bucket types and provides audible depth alarms. It also has a logical upgrade path to 3D supported applications.

  1. GCS600 for Excavators Amanda Smith Sr Construction Trainer Trimble Navigation Email: Amanda_Smith@trimble.com System Overview

  2. GCS600 HEX: What Is It? • Entry Level Grade Guidance System for Hydraulic Excavators (HEX) • For both Tracked and Wheeled Excavators • Reach, Depth and Slope Capable • Basic System • 3 Angle Sensors (Boom, Stick, Bucket) • Dual Axis Pitch /Roll Sensor for Carbody • CB410 Control Box • CAN Harness

  3. GCS600 HEX: Key Features • Entry Level System • Basic functions with optional upgrades • Competitive pricing • Reliable and Durable • Underwater bucket operation • Vibration, dust, impact resistant • Simple Installation and Calibration • Multiple Bucket Support • Audible Depth Alarm • Laser Upgrade Option • Logical Upgrade Path to 3D

  4. Supported Applications • Excavation • Basements • Foundations • Footers • Trenching • Flat bottom • Simple slope • Grading • Flat and simple slope • Embankments • Profiles • Canals and batters

  5. Language Support • Selectable in control box: • English - Dutch • Spanish - Finnish • German - Norwegian • French - Swedish • Italian - Danish • All supported in a single firmware build

  6. Units of Measure • Depth • Meters • Decimal Feet • Inches • Slope • Percent slope • Degrees • Ratio (Rise:Run)

  7. Major Components • CB410 Control Box • AS300 Angle Sensors (up to 5) • Boom, stick, bucket • Optional VA boom sensor • Optional tilt bucket sensor • AS310 Dual-Axis Sensor • Carbody pitch/roll • Optional LC300 • Angle sensor with laser window • Mounted on machine stick

  8. CB410 Control Box • Backlit LCD Screen • Up/Down Toggles (2) • 3-Position Switch (2) • LED Panels (2) • Push Buttons (3) • Audible Alarm • Similar to CB420 • New overlays • New part number • New firmware build

  9. AS300 Angle Sensor • Single-axis sensor • 360 degree range • Gravity-referenced • CAN interface • Single 6 pin connector; sealed • Already in production for GCS900 HEX • -20C to +60C operating temp. range • Potted device; non-serviceable

  10. AS310 Platform Sensor • Dual axis sensor (+/- 80 degrees) • Looks very similar to AS300, but not interchangeable • Same mounting footprint as AS300 • Has pitch/roll label on top surface

  11. LC300 Laser Catcher • 360 degree angle sensor with laser window • Same mounting footprint as AS300 • Mounted on machine stick • No need for daily removal

  12. Sensor Mounting Bracket • Holds AS300, AS310, or LC300 • Used for body, boom, stick locations • Not recommended for bucket or tilt bucket locations • Holds sensor in either orientation • Holes for index pins on both sides • P/N 57945-00

  13. GCS600 HEX: How it works The angle between boom and stick The angle between body pitch and boom position The angle between stick and bucket

  16. GCS600 HEX: Laser Configuration 4 5 3 1 7 6 2

  17. Upgrade to GCS900 • Logical upgrade to 3D • Reuse all sensors and cables on boom, stick and bucket. • Reuse body front harness and power cables • Exchange AS310 for AS21 body pitch sensor • Exchange CB410 (and cable) for SV170 (and cable) • Add 3D components • Lightbars, rear body harness, GPS receivers, radio, remote switches
