6 DEPTH MEASUREMENT FROM A REFERENCE POINT

Note

Check the accuracy of the system before starting work (see chapter 2.4).

Depth from a reference point can be measured in two different ways (Table 6).

Table 6. Depth measuring use cases

Description

Digging from zero level 
(chapter 6.1)

Measurement value will be zeroed at the starting point. The display 
indicates the depth of the bucket compared to the zero level.

Digging with a known 
starting level (chapter 6.2)

The height difference between the starting level and target level is set 
as the starting level. When the measurement value is zeroed, the 
starting level value appears on the screen. When moving the bucket 
towards the target level, the reading on the screen decreases, and 
finally shows zero when the target level has been reached.
