Sonic Tracker Setup
The following steps describe installing and positioning the Sonic
Tracker II on the Paver (Figure 5-5 on page 5-5).
1. Connect the coil cord to the Tracker.
2. Bolt the Tracker to the bracket, and visually check to get the
Sonic Tracker plumb.
3. Make one wrap of the coil cord around the L-Bar. This will act
as a strain relief for the connector on the Tracker.
Be sure the coil cord snap hook is in place and secure.

5. Place the Sonic Tracker over the reference: raise or lower the
Tracker bracket to position it at a proper height above the grade
reference.
