System Description

The EconoGrade Machine Control Systems were designed to let you achieve maximum control of

your grading system, at a very friendly price. The four congurations of the EG Series are versa-

tile and can be installed on a number of machines including box blades, box scrapers, graders,

mini-graders and skid steers. The system controls most valve packages, giving the user both LED

and a real-time LCD display so you are always in touch with the blade position. The EG Series Re-

ceiver can detect any rotating red beam laser within its 173mm (7”) capture range, and in turn indi-

cates the blade’s position to within a 2mm (5/64”) accuracy. The receiver has LED indicator lights

that give the same output as the control box LED indicators. So whether you’re standing on the eld,

or driving the machine you’ll always know where your blade needs to be. The control box allows

the user to congure the display to indicated variances from the on grade position in real time. The

receiver is able to attach to a 45mm (1 3/4”) standard pipe. The complete system requires 10 - 30vdc

to operate.
