Reference edge
Setting up the Tri-Sonic
When setting the Tri-Sonic sensor over a reference (string, curb, or previous pass), the best
performance will be achieved when the sensor is positioned square to the reference (not
turned or leaning).
Setup over a curb
When setting the Tri-Sonic sensor over a curb, it is generally recommended to use the
GROUND mode and use the flat surface of the gutter as the reference as shown here.
Setup over an EDGE
Use of the curb edge as a reference requires extra care be taken to ensure a proper distance
and control of iCP32 system. Unlike a string or a flat surface, a curb edge can present some
special problems. It is best that this mode be used only by experienced operators.
Over any reference
It is important to rotate and roll the blade of the Grader to its approximate working position
before setting and adjusting the Tri-Sonic sensor, the blade edge, and the reference.
