Setting up the Machine
and 3DMC
The components of the mmGPS 3D Paver provide real-time elevation
and slope information to the 9168 control box. The control box then
takes this information and applies various algorithms to calculate and
display accurate, current surface information. This chapter introduces
the various features and general functions of components that the
operator uses, including the following:
• The features of the 9168 control box and how they operate.
• The functions of the 3DMC software and how to use it.
NOTICE
When operating in rainy weather or in wet
conditions, the system’s components (control box,
transmitter, receiver, tracker) and cables must be
thoroughly dried BEFORE placing them in the
carrying case at the end of the day.
Any moisture in the carrying case causes
condensation on the inside of the components which
may severely affect accurate operation during the
next paving application.
