8.1 Mechanical installation
CAUTION! Danger from damage / incorrect connections!

Damaged components or incorrect connections could lead to
malfunctions or considerable damage to property.
• Before switching on, always perform a visual inspection of the
system. Check the components for damage and the
connections for secure seating.
• Do not use any products with obvious signs of damage.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from moving machine parts!

While the tool is controlled, components and assembly groups of
the machine are moved manually or automatically. Machine
components and assembly groups that are moved in a rotating
and/or linear manner may cause severe injuries and result in
material damage.
• Keep people out of the working range of the machine or tool.
• During operation, do not reach into moving components.
• Never perform any work on sensors when the system is set in
automatic mode.
28 Mounting
CAUTION! Risk of injury from improper mounting!

Mounting using unsuitable auxiliary aids can lead to injuries.
• Do not climb on the machine.
• For mounting, use suitable auxiliary means (e.g. free-standing
ladder) and take the necessary safety measures.

The MOBA Pave-TM system can be installed on various types of
machines. For this reason, only basic mounting and
corresponding requirements are described in this manual.

When installing and connecting the system components, make
absolutely certain that the connections are accessible and that the
length of connection cables is sufficient.
8.1.1 Mounting the display

The display can usually be operated inside and outside of the machine. It must be
easy to use and easy to read. The operator should not have to change his/her seat
position to press buttons or to read values. The display is mounted with a RAM-
Mount.
Fig.8-1: Drill pattern display
• Drill three fixing holes at the intended mounting position according to the drill
pattern (see Fig. 8-1).
Mounting 29
Fig.8-2: Mounting display
• Screw on the RAM-Mount adapter with three M5 screws according to illustration

8-2 (recommended screws: hexagon, VA steel).
• Also using three M5 screws, mount the second RAM-Mount adapter together
with the mounting arm onto the fixing holes provided on the housing rear side.
• Then connect the display and the RAM-Mount adapter (see Fig. 8-2).
Alternatively, mounting can also be done using a RAM-Mount holder with

magnetic attachments.
8.1.2 Mounting of ultrasonic sensors (MOBA Sonic-Ski Plus)

In order to carry out correct layer thickness measurements, two sensors must be
mounted on each side of the paver. The sensors themselves must be attached
laterally to the direction of travel.

The following must be observed for the MOBA Pave-TM system to
operate as intended:
• There must be no material below the front sensors. If
necessary, install a protective plate or similar.
• The supply lines to the sensors must not be squeezed or torn
off by moving parts.

The ultrasonic sensors should be attached with as little distance as possible to the
subgrade. But the distance must be at least 30 cm!
Fig.8-5: Height of ultrasonic sensor

32 Mounting
Both rear ultrasonic sensors must be mounted on the left and right of the screed via
a holder designed in line with the paver type or adapted to it. An example of
mounting is described below.

8.1.3 Mounting the “Pave-TM” control box

The control box can be mounted on any readily accessible location on the machine.
NOTE! Positioning of the control box!

The supply lines to individual system components must not be
squeezed or torn off by moving parts.
The control box is equipped with a universal “support rail” on the rear side. In this
way, it can be installed on all conventional machine types.
An example of mounting with the dedicated dovetail holder is described below.

Alternatively, mounting can also be done using pipe clamps or with industrial
magnets.
Mounting with dovetail holder

2) Mount the holding fixture (2) on the paver.
3) Mount the control box (1) into the holding fixture (2).
Mounting 35
8.1.4 Mounting the MTSC-202 signal converter
The signal converter should be mounted on a readily accessible location on the
machine that offers as much protection as possible.

8.1.7 Mounting the IR temperature sensor
The IR temperature sensors are used to selectively monitor material temperature.
This can be done at a suitable and easily accessible position on the material bucket
or on the paver auger. The infrared surface measurement works the most effectively
when measuring is done where material is constantly moving.
NOTE! Positioning of the sensor!

The IR temperature sensor must be directly connected to the
MTSC-201. The connection cable must not be extended.
Fig.8-19: Preparing temperature sensor
1) Loosen the pipe clamp (1) with the bolts (2), position the sensor according to

3) By loosening both bolts (6), the sensor can still be aligned after mounting on
the paver.
8.1.8 Mounting the wire rope sensor

The screed width can be measured dynamically with the help of wire rope sensors.
They should be installed protected against heat and moisture.
The central body of the wire rope sensor must be mounted on the static side of the
paver screed. The end of the wire rope must be mounted with the loop into the
moving part of the screed. Take care not to damage the wire rope through moving
parts.

8.2 Electrical installation
DANGER! Danger from electric current!

During work with the product in the immediate vicinity of electrical
systems (e.g. overhead lines or electrical railways), there is a risk
of electric shock and thus life-threatening danger.
• Maintain a sufficient safety distance to electrical systems.
• If work in such environments is absolutely necessary, inform
the relevant bodies or authorities responsible for these
systems prior to performing the work and follow their
instructions.
CAUTION! Risk of injury from improperly laid lines!

During mounting and installation, there is a risk of injury from
improperly laid lines; damage to the system may result.
• When laying the connection cables, pay attention to safety and
lay the cables so that they are not strained, kinked or
damaged.
• If possible, lay the electric cables in protective sleeves and
secure them sufficiently, e.g. with cable ties.
• Use rubber grommets to lay cables through sheet metal.
• To connect the power supply, observe the specifications of the
vehicle manufacturer.

9.1 Switching on
Fig.9-1: Main screen
The main screen appears when the system is switched on. The yellow status bar
indicates the charge state. Once the system is started, the “Layer thickness
measurement” menu is automatically called up. The addressing of the MOBA GDC-
320 colour display is displayed in the top right corner.
Left system side Right system side

9.2 Initial commissioning / system settings
Once the system is mounted and started, all system settings must be
executed. All settings must be executed for both the right and left side of the
system and can be changed at any time.
9.3 Layer thickness measurement
CAUTION! Correct distances of the sensor centres!

Entering the correct distances of the sensor centres to the screed
rear edge is essential for calculating the layer thickness precisely!

Displaying the current distance values is a good way of checking
whether the sensors are too near or too far from the subgrade.

The view of the machine is shown from the right or the left
depending on the addressing of the display.

The temperature filter is a maximum value filter. An increasing temperature is

displayed immediately. If the temperature falls, the recently measured
maximum value is displayed for the set filter time. If the filter time has expired,
the decreased current value is adopted for a measurement cycle. This prevents
the display from fluctuating.

56 Operation
10 Operation


10.1 System alignment
CAUTION! System alignment before every filling in of material!

The system alignment is essential for the correct operation of the
system. The following conditions must be met:
• The system MUST be aligned in order to correctly calculate

the layer thickness. The floated state of the screed is
important!
• The alignment can also be done subsequently during filling in
of material. It is recommended to carry out a renewed manual
measurement of the layer thickness and thus to recalibrate the
aligned value.
• After changing the distances of the sensor centres to the
screed rear edge in the layer thickness settings menu, an
alignment must take place again!
Operation 57
Filling in of material
starts.
Screed floats!
