  1. How to workwith the Laser Receiver Manual Version: 2.00 CBox Software: v3.x.x Language: English

  2. Goal of this document • Describe the use of the laser receiver together with the iDig Touch system, after the calibration of the receiver • Two possible methods: - Method 1: Laser Heightunknown Note: This method is preferred because it is less sensitive to the quality of the calibration of the machine. • Method 2: Laser Heightknown If you’re using your own laser receiver, you won't get laser catch informations on the LED display or CBox control screen, but the principle remains the same.

  3. Twomethods for the 1st laser catch • Method 1:Laser Heightunknown • Method 2:Laser Heightknown

  4. Method 1– Laser Heightunknown • The rotational laser is setup at a randomheightsomewhere on the job site • The bucket tip is setup on a knownheight In this case the bucket height gets linked to the laser plane, and the laser height gets calculated after the 1st laser catch

  5. Method 1– Job site view ? 1m In thisexample the desiredheightis 1m below the reference point.

  6. Method 1– CBox screenview The laser functionisavailable, but the 1st initial laser catch hasn’t been done yet.  Click on the laser button! Click on “Bucket Tip Height”, the symbolwith the pen Note: - If no laser button isshown on the main screen, the laser receiver hasn’t been calibratedyet. - If thereis more than one laser button visible on the main screen, then the initial 1st laser catch has already been done. Disable the «old» laser catch first.

  7. Method 1– CBox screenview • FIRST, put the bucket tip on the reference point • THEN, enter the desireddiggingdepth relative to the reference point (in thisexample 1m) and confirm • Now, catch the laser beam and click on the green checkmark Note: If the option « Autocatch » has been enabled, thereis no need to click on the checkmark, but the catch gets confirmedautomatically

  8. Method 1– CBox screenview 1st laser catch done. Bucket tip height and Laser Height are shown. In thisexampleyou’llseethat the bucket tip isactually 1m above on-grade, and that the calculated Laser Heightis 1,56m. Catch again the laser beameach time the machine gets moved Change the actual bucket tip height Change the Laser Height Disable the 1st laser catch Attention, if the rotating laser gets moved, the 1st laser catch has to be disabled, and the procedure to be started again from scratch! Move the reference

  9. Method 2– Laser Heightknown • The rotational laser is setup on the job site, and the elevationdifference of the laser plane to the desired grade gets indicatede.g. with the help of a laser rod. • The machine is located anywhere on the job site (there is no landmark or reference point within reach of the bucket tip), and the rotating laser shall be connected to the machine body. In this case the laser height gets dialed into the system, and the bucket tip height gets calculated by the system after the 1st laser catch

  10. Method 2– Job site view 1m 1.56 m Reference point 0.56m ? • In thisexample: • The desired grade is 0,56m below the reference point, and the rotating laser is setup 1m higherthan the reference point. • This means, that the Laser Height (elevationdifference of the laser plane to the desired grade) is (1m + 0,56m) 1,56m.

  11. Method 2– CBox screenview The laser functionisavailable, but the 1st initial laser catch hasn’t been done yet.  Click on the laser button! Click on “Laser Height”, the symbolwith the laser ray Note: - If no laser button isshown on the main screen, the laser receiver hasn’t been calibratedyet. - If thereis more than one laser button visible on the main screen, then the initial 1st laser catch has already been done. Disable the «old» laser catch first.

  12. Method 2– CBox screenview 1.56 • Enter the Laser Height: « 1,56 meters » and confirm. • Now, catch the laser beam and click on the green checkmark Note: If the option « Autocatch » has been enabled, thereis no need to click on the checkmark, but the catch gets confirmedautomatically

  13. Method 2– CBox screenview 1st laser catch done. Bucket tip height and Laser Height are shown. In thisexampleyou’llseethat the bucket tip isactually 1,00m above on-grade, and that the dialed-in Laser Heightis 1,56m. Catch again the laser beameach time the machine gets moved Change the actual bucket tip height Change the Laser Height Disable the 1st laser catch Attention, if the rotating laser gets moved, the 1st laser catch has to be disabled, and the procedure to be started again from scratch! Move the reference
