the fixing tube (1).
3) Twist the sensor housing according to the moving direction.
4) Secure the sensor’s centre pivot (3) with the clamp screws (2).
36 Installation

The moving direction:

The moving direction of the Sonic-Ski ® is determined as follows:


When ground sensing, the Sonic-Ski ® has to work lengthwise to the machine’s
moving direction (averaging).

When string sensing, the Sonic-Ski  has to work crosswise to use the full working
width of 25 cm.

Fig.7.1.2-3: Moving
direction

The working range:

The Sonic-Ski`s ® working range for ground and string sensing is between 20 cm to
150 cm and 20 cm to 100 cm.
The Sonic-Ski ® should be adjusted with approx. 35 cm distance to the reference.
From experience, this is the ideal working range. In this range the actual value is
constantly shown on the LC display, outside of this range the display flashes
(positioning aid).
The string is only clearly detected as reference from a diameter of 3 mm on.

Fig.7.1.2-4: Working range


Installation 37
7.1.3 Installing the laser mast and laser receiver
The ideal mounting position at the grader is the blade’s upper edge.

Fig.7.1.3-1: Mounting

7.2 Electrical installation

DANGER! Risk caused by electric current!


When working with the product next to electric systems e.g.
overhead powerlines or electric railways, there is danger to life due
to electric shock.
• Keep sufficient safety distance to electric systems.
• If working in such surroundings is indispensable, inform the
responsible authorities before starting the working process
and follow their instructions.

CAUTION! Risk of injury caused by inadequately laid cables!


During mounting and installing inadequately laid cables can cause
injuries and damages at the system.
• In any case observe the safety instructions when installing
the connection cables and do not strain, bend or damage
them.
• To eliminate the risk of stumbling, make sure that the cables
are laid correctly.
• Where possible install electrical cables with wire protecting
sleeves and secure them sufficiently, e.g. with cable ties.
• Use rubber bushings when laying cables through plates.
40 Installation

Wiring of components:
When wiring system components only original MOBA cables must be used. Plugs
must not be removed, as the protection against moisture ingress would be made
ineffective by opening them.

NOTE! Important note on appropriate function!


Observe the instructions referring “electric current“ listed below.

• For the installation of system cables the general provisions for the installation
of electric lines in motor vehicles and machines apply.

• To prevent damages, all cables must be firmly installed (e.g. in cable ducts,
pipelines or cable looms).

• Avoid sharp bends and too small loops in moveable, turnable parts.

• Install the cables in accordance with the already existing installation.

• Use existing drillings and ducts for cable bushings (e.g . to the cabin, through
the frame etc.).

• After the installation, move the tool through all possible positions to ensure
that no cable is pressed, stretched or even squeezed at any point.

7.2.1 Connecting the power supply
• The system’s power supply must not fall below 10 V at any time.
• No other power consumers may be supplied directly via the system’s
connecting terminals.
• The cable diameter for the system’s power supply has to be at least 1.5 mm².
• In a machine with 24 V on-board voltage, the system must not be supplied
with 12 V.

Connection via power cable:


Via the signal input “ext. Manual“, the control of the valve outputs can be locked. If
this connection is controlled, the valve outputs are switched off in spite of the
activated automatic operation. The control via the system is locked until the input is
opened again (potential-free).
Via 4 other inputs at the controller’s power plug signals of external switches can be
read, allowing a manual override of the valve outputs. This function proves useful
when the tool briefly and quickly has to bypass or has to be lifted over or an
obstacle.

8.4.1 The laser receiver’s LED display

Fig.8.4.1-1: LED display of


the laser receiver

Laser receiver LS-3000


The laser receiver is freely moveable on its mast. To simplify the laser receiver’s
setup, it is equipped with an integrated positioning aid (1).
It is an LED display that shows how the laser receiver and the mast respectively have
to be moved to let the laser beam centrically hit the receiving area. Only if the laser
beam centrically hits the receiver, the full working range of  14 cm is available.
One of the system’s great advantages is the possibility to adopt the working point at
any place at the laser receiver, when the laser beam hits it. Depending on the planned
application this can be expedient. An asymmetrical working point enlarges the
direction’s available adjustment range (raise and lower respectively) while the other
one, however, is reduced by the same extent.
Laser receiver CLS
The laser receiver always works with a fix working point in the receiver’s centre. The
working range is gradated in definite measured value zones: ± 0 / 4 / 12 / 22.3 / 35
and 71 mm. In total, it covers ±10.5 cm.

9.7 Working with the slope sensor

9.7.1 Adjustment of the slope sensor’s actual value

NOTE! Important note on the actual value’s adjustment!


The actual value’s adjustment has to be carry out first at the slope
sensor’s commissioning. The shown value then is adjusted to the
actual slope of the tool to be controlled.
For ideal working results the actual value’s display has to be
frequently checked and as the case may be corrected.
In general, a new adjustment of the actual value has to be carried
out in case…

• the slope sensor has been changed


• the slope sensor’s installation position has been changed
• there have been mechanical changes at the tool or its
holding fixture (e.g. change of the blade’s cutting edge).

The following example describes how to adjust the numerical value of a set slope
target to the result’s actual value while working in automatic mode.

1) Switch the system on and supply with voltage.


The switch-on procedure is initiated.

When working with the slope sensor, the operating mode “Valve control“ is
preset. The function lamp “Valve control“ flashes.
Switching to the operating mode “Mast search“ is not possible.

keys or key combinations.

9.10.1 Overview of the key functions

Operating mode:
Valve control

Operating type: Manual


The display shows the currently measured
value of the sensor.
As long as the UP-key is pressed, the tool’s
valve “Raise“ is controlled.

As long as the DOWN-key is pressed, the tool’s


valve “Lower“ is controlled.

If the laser beam is located at any position in the


laser receiver’s range and the enter key is
pressed, the Dual-Laser-matic moves the mast in
a way that the laser beam centrically hits the
laser receiver.
The measured value is adopted as setpoint for
the control (setpoint adjustment).
In case the laser beam is located outside the
laser receiver’s range, this key has no function.

To allocate the value “0.0“ to the laser receiver


LS-3000’s current position, the enter key has to
be pressed until the display first shows the
message “SEt“ and then “0.0”.
94 Operation

If the enter key is hold while the UP-key is pressed,


the numerical value shown on the display increases,
but the control is not influenced by this adjustment of
the value.

If the enter key is hold while the DOWN-key is

Operation 97
9.11 The operator menu

The operator menu comprises important parameters and setting possibilities for the
control’s behaviour in general as well as for the operation of the individual sensor
types in particular.

NOTE! Important note on appropriate function!


As variably as you can arrange your system (depending on the
application and the related selection of sensors) as variable is the
operator menu. In order not to irritate the operator, menu items
that are irrelevant for the currently used sensor combination are
not shown when opening the menu. Therefore it may occur that
when being opened the operator menu at one time only consists
of 3 items whereas at another time it consists of 6 or 7 items.

In the following all menu items are described in the order in which they will appear
in a fully equipped and accordingly configured system.

In detail they are:

• Sensor selection
• Sensitivity setting
• Indication of cross slope
• 3D setpoint assignment
• Control window
• Hydraulic record

(If no key is pressed, the control unit automatically switches back after 5
seconds.)

9.11.2 Sensitivity setting


When operating the Dual-Laser-matic with different sensor types (distance and
slope sensors) the sensor’s sensitivity should be individually adjusted. This menu
item’s setting range always is from 1 (low sensitivity) to 10 (high sensitivity). These
numerical values stand for the combination of the control parameters “Dead band“
and “Proportional band“. You will find the value tables on the following pages.
The sensitivity value has to be separately set and later is automatically loaded when
a sensor is changed. Should the Dual-Laser-matic work uneasily in automatic
operation, the respective digital sensor’s sensitivity has to be reduced. Should the
Dual-Laser-matic work too sluggishly, the digital sensor’s sensitivity has to be
increased.

However, this cannot be done for the CLS-3000, since the minimum dead band is
already 8 mm. The sensitivity setting has to be switched off and the dead band and
the proportional band have to be adjusted individually.

Proceeding for sensitivity setting:

114 Malfunctions/errors

11.1 Fault indications of the laser receiver

NOTE! Important note on appropiate function!


To exclude possible reflection errors e.g. caused by reflecting
surfaces or flashlights at construction sites the laser receiver only
evaluates transmitter signals in the range of 10 to 20 Hz (r/sec).

The laser receiver detects these error situations and with the help of its LED display
indicates them as follows:

No laser beam hits the receiver.

The laser receiver is not hit cyclically or by several laser pulses at the
same time; a reason could be reflections, for example.

The laser transmitter’s specified speed of minimum rotation is fallen


below.

The laser transmitter’s specified speed of maximum rotation is


exceeded.
