Tracker and SAS Placement
Topcon Paver System Five Operator’s Manual
6-16
Positioning the SAS
The SAS should be positioned so the Sonic Trackers are 14 to 24
inches from the grade reference (Figure 6-21). As with single
tracker operation, the “lower the better” is a good rule of thumb for
paving applications. This will help minimize the variable
temperature conditions that can cause erratic signals. The beam
does not have to be perfectly level because each tracker averages
the distance to the reference individually.
Figure 6-21. Positioning SAS
With SAS, be careful when the screed is raised that the front tracker
does not hit the ground. If needed, the tracker bracket can be folded
back when raising the screed to keep the tracker from hitting
obstructions.
The trackers can be placed so all four are over the reference, or the
back tracker can be set over the freshly laid mat. The best method is
the one you are presently using or the one in which you are most
comfortable (Figure 6-22 on page 6-17).
