Slope Control
System Five uses a slope sensor mounted to the transducer
beam on the paver to measure and control the slope of the mat
being laid (Figure 2-29). The sensor contains an electronic level
vial, that acts as a “precision carpenter's level”. Slope control
with this electric level vial is very accurate and repeatable.
