• Set Points (Right Knob Only)
Set Points will allow the operator to preset up to 3 different
elevation and slope settings. This is most commonly used when
the job application requires multiple settings from one pass to
another.
Each time the Set Point Switch is toggled, the Control Box will
switch to the next Set Point. The Control Box will automatically
remember the settings just as you left them before you switched
to the next set point. (Refer to the Set Points section within this
manual).
3DMC Mode
3DMC stands for 3 Dimensional Machine Control. 3D-MC is a
revolutionary new automated machine control system that allows a
contractor to guide an earthmoving machine directly from the digital
data supplied by engineering firms. For the first time ever, a grading
contractor can perform site grading work directly from design
information. This system greatly reduces the need for costly stakeout
work. Understanding of this system grows with experience. More
experience and understanding makes judging how much survey
staking to eliminate from a project easier, while still providing
professional, accurate grading.
