Tracker Symptom 2
“Sonic Tracker is ticking, but will not adjust to grade.”
Probable Cause
Tracker is too close to reference, minimum working
distance is 14 inches.
1. Tracker is too close to reference point. Position tracker
14 to 24 inches from grade reference.
2. Connect tracker to other side of paver to determine if
problem stays with tracker.
3. If problem stays with tracker, clean or replace
transducer or foam filter. Refer to the Transducer and
filter cleaning and replacement information in the
“Maintenance” section of this manual.
4. If problem does not move with tracker, inspect coil
cord for damage and swap with cord from other side.
Tracker Symptom 3
“Tracker grade lights flash high and low and will not stay
On-Grade.”
Probable Cause
If problem is only in Automatic Mode, then Hydraulic
Performance Settings are incorrect.
1. Verify paving machines hydraulic flow adjustments,
time for hydraulic cylinder to travel full stroke, are set
to manufacturers recommendations. Typically 12 to 15
seconds.
2. Check Valve Offsets are set correctly. Refer to setting
valve offsets.
3. Make sure Gain Setting is not too high.
Factory setting is 25.
