Determining Timed Valve Output Values
Follow this procedure to determine the time values to set into
the Control Box for laser scraper control:
1. Set the scraper so the cutting edge just rests on the ground.
2. Press and hold the Raise Jog button until the scraper raises
to the height you prefer, noting how long it takes. Set this
time into the Control Box for the Raise Timed-Output.
3. Leaving the scraper at this height, press and hold the
Lower Jog button until the scraper is just above the ground,
noting how long it takes. Set this time into the Control Box
for the Lower Timed-Output.
The Timed-Output feature can also be used to combine the
Auto/Manual function and Jog Raise/Lower function in one
button.
Set the Timed-Output to 0.1-second for raise and/or lower.
• Pressing the raise button shifts the system to manual.
• Pressing the lower button shifts the system to auto.
This allows the Timed-Output function to switch to manual
when just raising the scraper out of a cut, but it will not
continue to raise the scraper once you release the jog button.
Pressing the Raise Jog Button
For any Timed Outputs value above 0.0 seconds, pressing the
raise jog button causes:
1. The beeper to sound.
2. The Control Box to switch to Manual control.
3. The Control Box valve outputs to continue to raise the
instrument until the total Timed Outputs value expires.
