16 Water Management setup FieldLevel II Leveling
Setting Explanation
Operation Mode
Choose your leveling model.
ll Point and Slope: Creates consistently sloped tile or
surface drainage.
l Multiplane design: Uses more complex surface designs
imported from the MultiPlane design software.
l Plane (Flat): Levels the field to a design plane. The
plane can be configured in the on-board software using
benchmarks and slopes, or by creating a plane of best-
fit over a surveyed surface (Autoslope). This leveling
model uses a high-accuracy GPS receiver mounted on
the leveling implement. However, the design heights
are corrected to a plane surface to match your old
laser-leveled fields.
l Plane (Earth Surface): Levels the field to a design plane.
The plane can be configured in the software using
benchmarks and slopes, or by creating a plane of best-
fit over a surveyed surface (Autoslope). It uses a high-
accuracy GPS receiver mounted on the leveling
implement.
l Contour: Uses the FM-1000 integrated display's on-
screen lightbar (or an LB25 external lightbar) to guide
the vehicle along contours to keep the vehicle at the
same elevation. This can be used for levee marking and
applications that require guidance to elevations.
Cut/Fill Range Warning
Acceptable warning distance.
When Auto mode is engaged and the blade is outside this
range for more than three seconds, a warning displays.
VDOP Level Vertical Dilution of Precision: A measure of the vertical
accuracy of the GPS signal. If the VDOP reaches this value, a
warning message displays.
A VDOP setting of less than 3 is recommended.
Correction Age Timeout
On Grade Tolerance Tolerance for a cut / fill value being considered on grade.
The
On Grade Tolerance
is shown as the green color in the Cut
/Fill scale. If a value of 0.5' is used for the on grade
tolerance, any value between 0.5' of cut and 0.5' of fill will
show as green on the Cut / Fill map.
