grade indication line.
Bucket
The bucket image is representative of the actual bucket slope/tilt angle and updates in real time to indicate the actual angle of the bucket and
position relative to the desired grade.
Illustration 52 is an example of the bucket being drawn in the bucket cross section view.
The bucket is always visible to the operator except for the following conditions:
There is no current work tool selected.
The current work tool is not measured up for use with Cat GRADE Control.
An error exists which prevents the system from calculating the bucket elevation.
Illustration 53 shows where the bucket is not visible due to the conditions that are listed above. The bucket is replaced with a dashed line.
If a tilt bucket (with tilt bucket angle sensor) is configured, then the angle shown on the display is the actual angle of the bucket as measured by the
tilt bucket angle sensor.
If the configured bucket is not a tilt bucket, then the angle shown on the display is the roll angle of the machine as measured by the machine
pitch/roll angle sensor.
Grade Indication Line

The grade indication line is drawn to the correct target cross-slope as defined by the operator. The grade indication line moves up and down
depending on the current cut/fill value as displayed in the depth to grade area. The grade indication line will be displayed in green color when the
grade guidance is in range. The grade indication line will be displayed in gray when the grade guidance is out of range.
Note: This line will change slope as the machine is rotated when the optional rotation sensor is installed.
Bucket Above and Below Grade Line

The grade indication line is always displayed. Refer to the following examples of the bucket with respect to the grade line for various
circumstances.
When the bucket tip is sufficient distance above the desired grade, the grade line is gray and always level across the bottom of the screen.
When the bucket tip is near enough to the desired grade, the grade line is green.
Green grade line moves towards the bucket as the bucket gets closer to grade or on the grade.
The grade line passes underneath the bucket
When the bucket tip is near enough to the desired grade, the grade line is green.
When the bucket tip is sufficient distance below the desired grade, the grade line is gray and always level across the top of the screen.
When the target cross slope angle is non-zero, part of the grade line may not be drawn depending upon the distance from the bucket tip to the
desired grade.
When the target cross slope angle is non-zero, the entire grade line will be at the bottom of the window and gray in color when the smallest
distance between the bucket tip and desired grade is sufficiently large.

The bucket is representative of the correct bucket rotation angle.
Illustration 68 shows examples of the bucket being drawn in the profile view.
The bucket is always visible except for the following conditions:
There is no current work tool selected.
The current work tool is not measured up for use with Cat GRADE Control.
An error exists which prevents bucket elevation from being calculated, such as sensor failure.
Illustration 69 shows where the bucket is not visible due to the conditions that are listed above. The bucket profile view displays a dashed line.
Grade Indication Line

The grade indication line is drawn to the correct target slope as defined by the operator. The grade indication line moves up and down depending
on the current cut/fill value as displayed in depth to grade area.
When the bucket tip is at a sufficient distance away from the desired grade, the grade line is gray and always level across the top or bottom of the
screen. Refer to Illustration 70.
When the bucket tip is close enough to the desired grade, the grade indication line is white. Illustration 71 shows a level target slope with the
bucket tip close enough to the grade line for the line to be white rather than gray.
Part of the grade indication line may not be drawn when the desired grade is sloped and the bucket tip is in a sufficient distance above or below the
desired grade. Refer to Illustration 72.
The bucket passes through the grade indication line when the bucket tooth is below the desired grade. Refer to Illustration 73.
Lower Grade Bar

Measured Distance
Once the reference bench mark is set, the symbol of the Bucket Slope Angle will show a bucket measured distance on target symbol with zero
numeric value (0.00). This status appears in the measured distance field.
- The measured distance is On-Grade (the cutting edge of the

bucket is on the set horizontal reference bench mark).
- The distance is inside Grade (the bucket cutting edge moved

away from the set horizontal reference bench mark point-away
from the cab).
- The distance is from outside the Grade (the cutting edge of the
bucket moved away from the horizontal reference bench mark
towards the cab).
Bucket Slope Angle
The bucket slope angle value and symbol are representing the original reference bench.
Once the reference bench mark is set, the symbol of the bucket slope angle will show a bucket symbol with a green line under it. A "LEVEL" status
will also appear in the value field.
Bucket angle changed (bucket curled in)
Bucket angle changed (bucket opened)
After setting the reference bench mark, the bucket angle position changes (curl in or out the bucket) will be reflected in the Bucket Angle filed. The
status of the symbol and the value will reflect the angle directional changes.
Cut/Fill
Cut/Fill symbol (mode icon) and value
Once the reference bench mark is set, the symbol and value of the Cut/Fill field of the bucket slope angle will show bucket "On Target". The green
symbol and the zero (0.00) value appears.
The Cut/Fill value will be displayed on the Cut/Fill filed.
The Cut/Fill symbol (mode icon) is a representation of the status of the cutting edge of the bucket in relation to the reference bench mark.
Too high coarse symbol - The cutting edge of the bucket is way
too high from the bench mark.
High coarse - The cutting edge of the bucket is higher from the
Grade (reference bench mark).

2D with the Machine Monitor

The machine monitor has full 2D capability and can provide vertical guidance in-line with the benched elevation and machine orientation. There are
various modes of operation in 2D guidance once the system is benched from a reference elevation. The following sections explain some basic
variations of 2D GRADE operation via the machine monitor.
Setting a Bench from Reference Point

Once a work tool has been configured with the proper dimensions and has been selected by the GRADE System, the operator can begin to utilize
the GRADE System to assist manual operation. The operator can utilize the GRADE System to assist manual operation by providing vertical
guidance to a target elevation. The act of setting the target elevation is setting a bench reference elevation. Once the target elevation (bench) has
been set, the GRADE System will provide constant Depth from Grade values for the vertical distance between the work tool focus point and the
target elevation (bench) that was set.
Follow the steps below to set a bench from reference point:
1. Verify that the work tool is properly selected and confirm that the selected work tool system is showing in the GRADE System screen at the
bottom section of the main screen.
2. The GRADE System, if used previously, may have a target elevation (bench) already set. If a bench is already set. Press the "Grade Menu"
option on the left bottom right side of the Grade screen section or press the "Bench Reference" field (top bar) then press the "Benchmark
Clear" to clear the previous selected benchmark reference.
3. Check that the target depth and target slope are configured to zero or the desired non-zero values.
4. Position the machine within the reach of the known elevation reference point (curb, grade stake, surveyed point) and orient the machine
direction in the direction of work.
5. Position the selected focus point on the cutting edge of the bucket on top of the reference point (curb, grade, stake, or surveyed point).
Note: The work tool may be oriented in many different positions as long as the work tool tip position matches the selected guidance focus
point indicated by the red dot.
Note: Rest the bucket tip on the reference point gently, without disturbing the reference elevation. A grade stake can easily be pushed further
into the ground by a machine and cause elevation errors in the future.
6. Once the work tool tip is in position, set the target elevation by pressing the "Benchmark Set" in the function list menu or by tapping the
guidance value field.
7. The GRADE System will immediately show "0.00" for the guidance value. Value "0.00" indicates that the work tool tip is at the same elevation
as the benched target elevation. The system will provide accurate vertical distance between the target elevation and the work tool tip as the
machine works in that directional orientation and track position. This vertical distance between the target elevation and the work tool tip is
considered the depth to Grade.
Note: Only if the target mainfall and target cross slope angle are set to zero, the GRADE System will track guidance values accurately while
swinging the machine to different directional orientations. Unless the machine is equipped with a directional heading sensor, the GRADE
System will not be able to determine the angle of rotation of the machine to compensate for the target slope and/or cross slope angle.
8. Complete the excavation and grading work in that machine position and orientation using the guidance values for assistance before moving
to a new position and/or orientation. When the target slope and cross slope angle are not zero, the machine orientation may be temporarily
swung away from the orientation of the machine originally benched while the machine tracks remain in the same position. This is to dump
material or other tasks. The guidance values are only valid in the benched orientation.
Note: To move the machine position or directional orientation while working with the 2D GRADE System, use "Transferring a bench via touch
point" or "Transferring a bench via a laser reference" to maintain the target elevation through the machine reposition or reorientation.
Setting a Bench from a Laser Reference
Once a work tool has been configured with the proper dimensions and been selected by the GRADE System, the operator can begin to utilize the
GRADE System to compliment manual operation. The operator can utilize the GRADE System to compliment manual operation, by providing
vertical guidance to a target elevation. The act of setting the target elevation is considered setting a bench reference elevation. Once the target
elevation (bench) has been set, the GRADE System will provide constant Depth from Grade values for the vertical distance between the work tool
focus point and the target elevation (bench) that was set.
Note: Currently the laser catcher is not offered from factory. Contact your local Cat dealer for the recommended laser catcher option and the
rotating laser planes for your machine.
To utilize the bench from a laser reference, a laser catcher option must be installed, measured, and configured on the machine. In addition, the
worksite must have a rotating laser plane with a red wavelength. The speed of the laser transmitting should be set to 600 RPM or 900 RPM. A high
quality rotating laser transmitter with a higher RPM is recommended for the use with the GRADE System for best accuracy and ease of capturing
laser strikes from the rotating laser. Low rotating RPM may result in the system not sensing or providing an erratic sensing value to the rotating
laser plane.
Note: A spectra precision GL622, GL720, and GL722 Grade lasers are known to function well with the GRADE System.
Note: Green wavelength lasers will not function with the GRADE System. The laser wavelength must be within the red wavelength spectrum.
Setting a bench from a laser reference can be useful when the laser plane height is known. At times, a laser plane is configured at random heights
for allowing the machine to move throughout the jobsite and maintain the original target elevation. If the laser plane is configured at a specific
known elevation, the initial target elevation (bench) can be set from the difference coming from the design and based on the laser plane.
1. Verify that work tool is properly selected and confirm that system is showing in the GRADE screen at the bottom of the main screen.
2. Confirm that the rotating laser plane is safely operating per the instructions of the manufacturer and configured onsite such that the laser
catcher can pass through the laser plane in the intended digging position.
3. The GRADE System, if used previously, may have a target elevation (bench) already set. If a bench is already set, press and hold the "Target
Elevation" field or open the GRADE function list menu, then press the "Benchmark Clear" option from the function list menu.
4. Verify that the target elevation field is clear with no guidance numbers and no unwanted target offset or target slope is applied.
Note: This mode does not show any benched reference.
5. To bench the Grade from the red rotating laser plane reference, press the GRADE menu option on the bottom of the GRADE screen on the
main menu or press any of the upper bar fields. Now press the "Bench Laser" option from the Function List menu options.
6. Position the front linkage in the orientation of the planned work with the laser catcher below the laser plane.
(A) 2.80 (distance between the site reference laser and the bucket tip)
7. Slowly lift the stick linkage so that the laser catcher passes through the laser plane. It is not necessary to stop with the laser catcher directly in
the laser plane. For best results, the stick linkage should be kept more vertical than horizontal.
8. After moving the laser catcher sensor on the side of the stick to align with the laser plane, press"Apply" to accept it as reference or "cancel" to
abort.
9. Once the system is referenced from the laser plane (as long as any previous Grade target elevation had been cleared), the system will show
the vertical distance between the referenced laser plane and the work tool tip elevation for the guidance value. The guidance value when
referenced from the laser plane will allow the work tool tip to be positioned a known vertical distance from the reference laser plane.
10. The vertical distance from the reference laser plane to the work tool tip is the Depth from Laser and can be used to guide the user in setting a
target elevation at a specified offset from the laser plane.
(B) 3.00 (distance between the site reference laser and the Grade bench)
11. Position the work tool tip (note the focus point indicated by the red dot on the cross section view of the bucket icon) at the target elevation
offset indicated by the guidance (Depth from Laser) value.
12. With the work tool tip positioned at the desired offset from the laser plane, the target elevation can be benched by pressing the "Benchmark
Set" from the Grade side menu option on the function list or a configured joystick button.
13. The GRADE System will immediately show "0.00" for the guidance value indicated that the work tool tip is at the same elevation as the
benched target elevation. The system will provide accurate vertical distance between the target elevation and the work tool tip as the machine
works in that directional orientation and track position.
Note: If the operator wishes to move the machine position or directional orientation while working with the 2D GRADE System, use
"Transferring a bench via touch point" or "Transferring a bench via a laser reference" to maintain the target elevation through the machine
reposition or reorientation.
14. When the target elevation has been set, the GRADE System will switch the mode of operation to show the vertical distance between the work
tool tip and the benched target elevation (Depth to Grade). The status icon in the upper bar bench reference field will show that the system is
laser referenced.
to a new position.
Note: In cases where the bench is level with no offset mainfall slope, the guidance values are correct for any orientation of the chassis on the
tracks. In cases where a target mainfall slope is not zero, the guidance values are only correct for the orientation of the chassis when the
system was benched.
Transferring a Bench via Touch Point

When work has been completed with a specific track position and machine orientation using a target elevation, there may be a need to move the
track position and/or reposition the machine orientation while maintaining the original target elevation with the GRADE System. The operator can
utilize the touch point method to transfer the benched target elevation to the new machine track position and machine orientation as long as both
new and old positions can touch a common point with the work tool tip. This method is a local method for transferring the target elevation but has
the advantage of requiring no additional devices.
1. To maintain a benched target elevation while the machine track position or machine orientation is changed, a reference point must be saved.
(1) Benchmark
(2) Location A
(3) Location B
(4) Reference point or common hard point (rock)
2. Position the work tool tip on a reference point that may be reached from the intended new track position and machine orientation.
3. Press the Grade side menu on the bottom right corner on Grade menu section then press the "Touch Point" from the Function List menu
option.
4. Touch the reference point you can reach from the next tracked location, then press "Apply" to accept or press "Cancel" to abort.
5. Move the machine as desired to the new track position and orientation of intended work.
6. Track the machine and re-touch the same point.
7. Press "Apply" to accept or "Cancel" to abort.
to a new position and/or orientation. As long as the machine tracks remain in the same position, the machine orientation may be temporarily
swung away from the orientation of the machine originally benched to dump material or other tasks as long as it is understood that the
guidance values are only valid in the benched orientation.
Transferring a Bench Via Laser Reference

When grading has been completed with a specific track position and machine orientation using a target elevation, there may be a need to move the
track position and/or reposition the machine orientation while maintaining the original target elevation with the GRADE System. The operator can
utilize the laser reference to transfer the benched target elevation to the new machine track position and machine orientation. This can be done as
long as the linkage can be moved, so that the laser catcher on the stick linkage intersects the laser reference plane. This method is a site-specific
method for transferring the target elevation and only requires a site reference laser. Follow the below procedure to transfer a bench using a laser
reference:
1. To maintain a benched target elevation while the machine track position or machine orientation is changed, the system must be referenced to
the site laser.
2. The system will be already benched on a known grade as indicated by the "0.00" guidance values, when the bucket tip is touching grade and
the Depth to Grade mode indicated on the screen.
(C) 1.56 (distance between the bucket tip an the Grade bench)
3. To reference the GRADE system to the red rotating laser plane reference, press the GRADE menu option on the bottom of the main screen
or press any of the upper bar fields. Now press the "Bench Laser" option from the Function List menu options.
4. Position the front linkage in the orientation of the planned work with the laser catcher below the laser plane.
the laser plane. For best results, keep the stick linkage more vertical than horizontal.
6. After moving the laser catcher sensor on the side of the stick to align with the laser plane, press "Apply" to accept it as reference. Press
"Cancel" to abort.
7. Once the system is referenced from the laser plane and the system was previously benched from a known elevation, the system will continue
to show the vertical distance between the bench elevation and the work tool tip elevation.
Note: The system will indicate Depth to Grade - Laser Referenced mode in the upper left of the GRADE app screen.
8. After completing the work in the current machine position, the machine may be moved. Once the machine is moved to the new location, the
system must have the bench and the laser again in order to transfer the original reference elevation.
(D) 0.88 (distance between the bucket tip and the Grade bench)
9. Move the machine to the new position. Make sure that the laser catcher can still be moved to intersect with the site laser.
the laser plane. For best results, keep the stick linkage more vertical than horizontal.
11. After moving the laser catcher sensor on the side of the stick to align with the laser plane, press "Apply" to accept it as reference. Press
"Cancel" to abort.
12. Once the system is referenced from the laser plane again, the system will transfer the original reference elevation and adjust the guidance
values to provide indication of the original reference elevation.
Note: The system will indicate Depth to Grade - Laser Referenced mode in the upper left of the GRADE app screen.
13. Moving the bucket tip to the point where the guidance values show "0.00" will place the bucket tip at the same elevation as the original bench
elevation.

3D Mode

Infield designs
The infield designs feature is used to create simple or complex design using the machine display.
The infield designs in the 3D mode function are a powerful tool that allows the operator to create and grade a surface using 3D designs. The 3D
designs are created using machine blade tip focus point coordinates.
The infield 3D designs can be created "on-screen" or by utilizing a previous created template that has an alignment already predefined.
Note: For a new alignment, it is recommended to use the focus option.
The operator can create a multi-segment alignment with the focus point on the cutting edge of the blade, in addition to creating section. These
alignment can then be applied to the section to create three-dimensional (3D) designs.
To create a 3D design, the following tasks must be completed in order:
Define the starting point
Define the horizontal alignment
Correct the vertical alignment
Create or select a section
Apply the section to the alignment
Modify or check the anchor point
Check the design in 3D and edit if required
Edit the Name of the design and save
