Sensor rod / sensor rod extension
The sensor rod acts as an orientation aid for the vehicle driver during paving.
Along the defined paving route, the vehicle driver can use the sensor rod to follow a
tensioned reference wire or another marking.
The sensor rod runs along the reference wire or over the marking.
Steering deviations can therefore be ascertained and corrected by the driver.
m Use of the sensor rod increases the basic width of the paver finisher.
f If the sensor rod or sensor rod extension are used, ensure that there is no one in the
vehicle's danger area!
A
The sensor rod is adjusted when the vehicle is positioned, with its set working width,
on the paving route and the reference marking running parallel to the paving route has
been set up.
Adjusting the sensor rod:
- The sensor rod (1) is located at the head end of the vehicle and can be inserted in
the corresponding holder (2) on either the left or right side of the vehicle. The sen-
sor rod is fixed in the holder by tightening the two screws (2a).
