Using the Laser Sensor
Laser Sensor
When the Laser Sensor detects a laser beam this is indicated on the display by a red line
through the laser icon.
If at some point the laser beam is lost while the control panel is set in auto mode, it will give
a beep and a red cross will appear with a text message saying
laser beam lost
.
Laser Sensor and
manual mast
To use the Laser Sensor with a manual mast for controlling the elevation of the blade
complete the following steps:
1. Select the Laser Sensor on one of the sides.
2. Place the cutting edge of the blade at the desired height.
3. Move the mast up or down until the Laser Sensor detects the laser beam. Continue to
move the mast until the indication led's on the Laser Sensor is showing a green line.
4. Press the left
key to set the machine in Auto-Mode.
5. When the control panel is in Auto-Mode the machine will start to move the raise/lower
hydraulic cylinders so that the laser beam always is in the center of the Laser Sensor.
The Laser Sensor is used to measure the elevation of the blade. This is
done by measuring the distance from where the laser beam is hitting
the laser and the centerline on the Laser Sensor.
