Getting Ready to Pave
Topcon Paver System Five Operator’s Manual
5-6
SAS Setup
Once the SAS has been installed, the System Five Control Box will
automatically configure for SAS when powered on. The box will
check to see how many trackers are connected and average over that
amount. Getting the Control Box ready to pave is the same as with
one tracker.
1. Connect each tracker as described in “Sonic Tracker Setup” on
page 5-4, but using the SAS coil cord.
2. Place the SAS trackers over the reference: raise or lower the
trackers bracket to position it at a proper height above the grade
reference.
3. Push and hold the Set button while dialing in mat depth.
4. Put the Control Box in Auto and begin paving.
NOTICE
NOTICE
It is not necessary to start paving in manual as is
traditionally done when using a mechanical ski. If
the setup procedures are followed correctly,
paving with the SAS can and should start in
automatic.
The SAS system has been designed to discontinue operating when
one of the Trackers fails. When a failure occurs, the control box will
flash “ERR” followed by a number from 1 to 4. The number
represents the Tracker which failed, making troubleshooting easy
and fast.
To reset the control box once a new tracker has been installed, or if
the tracker has been removed and only three trackers will be used,
turn the power off then on. The control box will reconfigure to the
number of trackers. Changing the number of trackers may change
the average distance. Re-survey the Control Box to lock SAS on-
grade.
