Virtual Walls
It is possible to set a le� wall, a right wall or both
walls.
Se�ing a wall
Select
MENU
and press the
“Virtual Wall Off”
button. The screen shown to the right appears.
To set a wall to the le� of the machine (slew angles
180°->360°) Press the
“LEFT”
bu�on. The system
will ask if you wish to ENTER a wall distance, if
“YES”
is pressed a keypad will appear. Enter the
distance desired to the virtual wall, in meters, from
the machine centre.
If you prefer to set the virtual wall distance by capturing it from the boom posi�on, when asked to ENTER
the wall distance press
“NO”
. The system will now ask you to move the boom end to the desired virtual
wall posi�on. Move the machine so that the bucket pin is at the maximum allowable distance from the
machine and press
“YES”
. Repeat the procedure for a right wall (0°->180° slew angles) using the right
bu�on.
Enabling the walls
To enable the wall select the radio button corresponding to the walls required.
Select cancel to switch off the walls.
Once the limit is set, the slew indicator on the front screen changes to show two
red lines either side of the machine. The virtual wall is Perpendicular to the centre
line of the machine (running from 0° to 180°). The wall limit distance is displayed
below the wall in red. The actual machine posi�on is shown in blue below the wall.
The points monitored on the machine against the wall are the bucket pin, the
counterweight corners and rear, and the cab front corners.
When the limit is reached the machine will be restricted. The motions that are restricted are shown in
red. Typically, the slew motion will be cut along with any boom func�on that will cause an increase in
boom radius. All hydraulic functions that reduce the boom radius, and slew away from the wall, will be
available.
WARNING - IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY LIMIT SET IS OUTSIDE
ANY WHEELS, STABILISERS OR ATTACHMENT THAT MAY BE FITTED TO THE MACHINE WHICH COULD
CAUSE IT TO BE IN A DANGEROUS POSITION. THE SIZE OF THE LOAD SUSPENDED FROM THE BUCKET
PIN OR LIFTING POINT SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED WHEN SETTING A WALL.
