Test
1. Extend the machine implements so that the bucket is at the far end of the string line.
2. Lower the bucket to the string, and tap OK on the
Measure first point
screen of the
Measure
Slope
feature in 3D-MC.
3. Retract the machine implements so that the bucket is at the near end of the string.
4. Lower the bucket to the string and tap
OK
on the
Measure second point
screen of the
Measure Surface
feature. The sloping surface created by 3D-MC should match the slope of the
string line as set by the laser.
5. Position the bucket on the string at several points, and compare the cut/fill readings shown in
3D-MC; cut/fill readings should be zero for each position (Figure 80).
Figure 80: Move the Bucket and Compare 3D-MC Measurements
6. If the measurements read zero from point to point, the test is done. If they do not, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 64.
Reasonable accuracy is within 0.10´. If the machine is well maintained and the
measurements made within this guide are precise, accuracy should be even better.
