Why a Quick Start Guide?• How good is your memory?• There are 17 steps to complete!• In the correct order
![Page 3: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1. Ensure PCS900 has valid machine measure-up and AS450 calibration– Have you restored the correct persist file?
• More important when:– You reinstall equipment– Have multiple machines the display is used
on
Note: AS450 is the slope sensor under the mast
![Page 4: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Ensure PCS400 is configured correctly• E.g. 3D elevation and 3D slope control
– Note: this applies to other 2D systems also e.g. MobaMatic
• Or 3D elevation and 2D height control
![Page 5: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3. Ensure the 2D cross-slope sensor is calibrated
• This is the AS200 on the screed• Very important for accurate 3D results• Must be in 2D slope mode to recalibrate
![Page 6: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
4. Ensure the PCS900/UTS instrument and SCS900 grade check/UTS instrument set-ups have adequate range and line of sight for the desired paving run
• Has someone stood at each position and looked over the paving run?
• Will it change with trucks or other paving machinery?
• Will it change with the time of day?
![Page 7: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
5. If using manual masts, ensure the correct mast extension is entered
• Are the units correct?
• Check the scale on the mast with a steel tape– Is it accurate?
![Page 8: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
6. Load the design in PCS900 and optionally select a horizontal alignment
• Instructions are on the other side of the page
![Page 9: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
7. Establish a connection between PCS900 and the UTS instrument that is responsible for paver control
• Make sure it is the correct UTS– Check the radio settings match the UTS
instrument– Check the MT900 IDs don't conflict with other
machines on site
![Page 10: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
8. Establish a connection between the grade check SCS900 system and the UTS instrument responsible for grade checking
• Move the SCS target and make sure the correct gun follows it
![Page 11: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
9. Enter any horizontal or vertical offsets in PCS900
• Be careful!– What design do you have loaded?– Is your offset UP from the base surface?– Or down from the finished surface?– What about differential compaction?
![Page 12: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
10. Ensure the SCS900 setup used for grade checking uses the same design and vertical offset as PCS900
• You must be at least as accurate as the machine to be able to check it– Correct Design– Correct Offset– Correct setup and a vertical pole with a flat
base
![Page 13: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
11. Prepare screed for paving using normal techniques (for example, 'Pave-by-the-Numbers')
• Try to get screed as close to grade height as possible
![Page 14: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
12. With screed on starter blocks pull the machine forward until PCS900 obtains the screed orientation (~300-400 mm)– Once the orientation is known, the 'Low
Accuracy: Move' message stops– This procedure assumes that the starter blocks
get the screed on grade relative to design• Not required IF you use the v1.10 Direction
key as you back into position
![Page 15: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
13. Bench PCS900 using an external reference such as a UTS rover pole
• Do NOT use a GPS rover for benching• Bench point should be at screed point, as defined by
machine measure-up– Tip - If you can, set your screed tips to be the tips
of the main screed• not the screed extensions
– That way you always know where to bench– On a cross slope, this could be a big deal!
![Page 16: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• This step only applies to US style pavers that have depth crank handles
• 14. Do not adjust the depth crank handles again!• If you re-adjust the depth crank handles,
rebench PCS900• Note – If there is a large elevation change you may run out of
cylinder• In this instance, buy back some cylinder by slowly adjusting the
depth crank handle until PCS900 adjusts to grade• If you have to crank faster than PCS900 can adjust the screed back
to grade, crank and wait until the system is on grade again• If the 2D system is back on grade and enough cylinder has been
gained back, stop the paver and rebench as outlined in step 13. Then complete the steps from step 15
![Page 17: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
15. Begin paving and place the 2D system into Auto
• Initially, the grade lights on the CB440 may indicate that the 2D system is off grade but the PCS900 AutoAdjust feature quickly adjusts to bring the 2D system on grade
![Page 18: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
16. Check the grade of the laid mat with an SCS900 grade check rover
![Page 19: CTCT PCS900 v1.10 Quick Start Guide Phil Jackson Training Manager March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b857f8b9ab0599bc795/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
17. If required, increment or decrement the CB440 responsible for 3D elevation to get on-grade– If you followed the steps above, you shouldn't
need to do this...AutoAdjust will do it for you • Only very small adjustments may be required• Be careful not to overreact to grade height
changes• The screed reacts very slowly to grade
changes
