Gain (Elevation)
This setting determines the speed at which System Five allows
the tow point cylinders to adjust to a change in elevation. For
faster hydraulic response, increase the gain value. For slower
hydraulic response, decrease the gain value.
The objective is to set the gain so the screed reacts to the
change in grade quickly, but without “overshooting” the new
elevation.
• Gain Elevation Value Range: 1-200
• Factory Preset: 25
Before setting the Gain, make sure the machine's hydraulic
flow controls valves are adjusted for proper cylinder speed
according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Typical
cylinder speed is 15-20 seconds for full up or down cylinder
travel.
1. From the Performance Menu, press the Auto button to
select Gain (Elevation) (Figure 4-25).
