9168 Control Box Buttons and
Features
The control box is the operator’s interface to mmGPS 3D Paver,
receiving signals from the sensors, and using these signals to
determine if grade or slope corrections are necessary. If the machine
requires a change in elevation or slope, the control box sends a signal
to the valve controlling the tow point cylinder on the appropriate side
of the paver to raise or lower, thus maintaining correct mat thickness.
In 2D control, the operator can control and monitor the slope and
thickness of the mat using the knobs and displays located on the front
panel of the 9168 control box.
Front Panel
The control box front panel (Figure 3-1) displays information about
grade, displays the 3DMC software, and makes quick changes to
offsets and other settings.
