Right Console (1) Propel lever (2) Display (3) Vibratory control switch (4) Keypad | |
Vibratory control switch (3) on propel lever (1) is the bottom switch in the middle column. The vibratory control switch is a push-button switch. The switch contacts are momentary. The vibratory control switch serves as the master switch for the vibratory system.
Propel lever (1) communicates with the machine ECM number "one" through the CAN. Each time the operator presses vibratory control switch (3) an input signal is sent to the machine ECM number "one". The machine ECM number "one" toggles the status of the vibratory system between off and on with each input signal. When the engine start switch is first moved to the ON position, the status of the vibratory system defaults to off.
The machine ECM number "one" analyzes the position of propel lever (1) in order to determine when to start the vibratory system.
Keypad (4) and display (2) communicate with the machine ECM number "one" through the CAN lines.
Note: The standard propel lever has two switches. This switch operates following the same principles as the vibratory control switch on the standard propel lever. The vibratory control switch is the right switch-on top of the standard propel lever. The propel input to the vibratory control logic is the same when the machine is equipped with either propel lever.

Right Console (5) Vibratory frequency switch (6) Rear drum select switch (7) Front drum select switch (8) Auto vibratory decrease switch (9) Auto vibratory increase switch | |
The keypad is located on the right console. The keypad contains the following vibratory system switches:
- Vibratory frequency switch (5)
- Rear drum select switch (6)
- Front drum select switch (7)
- Auto vibratory decrease switch (8)
- Auto vibratory increase switch (9)
Note: The three switches with vibratory icons located to the rear of vibratory frequency switch (5) are not used on this machine model.
Each of the above switches provides an input signal to the machine ECM number "one" through the CAN. The machine ECM number "one" uses the input from these switches in order to determine the desired operating conditions for the vibratory system.
Auto vibratory decrease switch (8) and auto vibratory increase switch (9) allow the operator to map automatic vibratory system engagement to the position of the propel lever. This feature allows the operator to choose the machine speed at which the vibratory system will engage. A message of "Vibe Turn On Speed %" on the display and a series of seven indicators located to the left of the auto vibratory switches provide the operator with an indication of the currently selected engagement percentage.
The auto vibratory engagement percentage ranges from zero to 100 percent. When the vibratory engagement percentage is zero, the vibratory system is in the manual mode. In this case, the vibratory engagement deadband equals the deadband of the propel lever. Therefore, the machine ECM number " one" will start the vibratory system immediately after the operator moves the propel lever beyond the neutral deadband of the lever. The machine ECM number "one" disables the vibratory system when the propel lever is returned to the NEUTRAL position. In order to enable the vibratory system again, the operator must actuate the vibratory control switch on the propel lever.
When the vibratory engagement percentage is between 2 percent and 100 percent, the vibratory system is in the automatic mode. At a 2 percent setting, the vibratory system starts after the machine is traveling at 2 percent of the machine maximum speed for the current propel mode. At a 100 percent setting, the vibratory system starts after the machine is traveling at 100 percent of the machine maximum speed for the current propel mode. Auto vibratory decrease switch (8) and auto vibratory increase switch (9) allow the operator to change the vibratory engagement percentage in 2 percent steps.
When the auto vibratory engagement percentage is zero, none of the indicators next to the auto vibratory switches are illuminated. When the auto vibratory engagement percentage is 100 percent, all of the indicators are illuminated. The first indicator illuminates when the auto vibratory engagement percentage is set to 2 percent. The second indicator illuminates when the auto vibratory engagement percentage is set to 18 percent. Each subsequent indicator represents a change in the vibratory engagement percentage of approximately 16 percent.
Each time the operator actuates auto vibratory decrease switch (8) and auto vibratory increase switch (9), a pop-up window appears on the operator display for 3 seconds. The pop-up window shows the currently chosen percentage. The machine ECM number "one" stores the last active percentage in memory 5 seconds after the last time a switch was actuated. This action allows the system to start up at the last chosen auto vibratory engagement percentage after the engine start switch has been cycled through the OFF position.
Rear drum select switch (6) and front drum select switch (7) allow the front and rear vibratory motors to be independently or simultaneously operated. This feature creates the following vibratory drum modes: front drum, dual drum, and rear drum.
The indicators next to rear drum select switch (6) and front drum select switch (7) indicate the currently selected vibratory drum mode. The indicators are configured as follows:
- Front drum mode - Only the middle indicator next to the front switch is illuminated.
- Dual drum mode - The top indicator next to the rear switch is illuminated and the bottom indicator next to the front switch is illuminated.
- Rear drum mode - Only the middle indicator next to the rear switch is illuminated.
The machine ECM number "one" operates rear drum select switch (6) and front drum select switch (7) similar to a toggle switch with three positions. When the system is in the front drum mode, a single actuation of the front drum switch keeps the system in the front drum mode. A single actuation of the rear drum switch while the system is in the front drum mode changes the system to the dual drum mode.
In dual drum mode, a single actuation of rear drum select switch (6) changes the system to rear drum mode. A single actuation of front drum select switch (7) while in dual drum mode changes the system to the front drum mode.
When the system is in the rear drum mode, a single actuation of the rear drum switch keeps the system in the rear drum mode. A single actuation of the front drum switch while the system is in the rear drum mode changes the system to the dual drum mode.
Note: If the machine is equipped with a chip spreader, the drum select switches can be used to change the function of the vibratory enable switch to a chip spreader enable switch. The operator can invoke this change by simultaneously actuating the drum select switches for 2 seconds. When the enable switch is configured for chip spreader operation, the bottom indicator next to rear drum select switch (6) is illuminated.
Each time the operator changes the vibratory drum mode, a pop-up window appears on the display for 2 seconds. The pop-up window shows the currently chosen mode. The machine ECM number "one" stores the currently chosen mode in memory after 5 seconds have elapsed since the last actuation of a switch. This action allows the system to start up in the last chosen vibratory drum mode after the engine start switch has been cycled through the OFF position.
With each depression of vibratory frequency switch (5), the machine ECM number "one" toggles the vibratory frequency mode. When the vibratory frequency mode is set to low frequency and high amplitude, actuation of the switch changes the mode to high frequency and low amplitude. When the vibratory frequency mode is set to high frequency and low amplitude, actuation of the switch changes the mode to low frequency and high amplitude.
The indicators next to vibratory frequency switch (5) indicate the currently selected vibratory frequency mode. Only the bottom indicator is illuminated when the system is in the low frequency and high amplitude mode. The bottom and the middle indicators are illuminated when the system is in the high frequency and low amplitude mode.
Each time the operator changes the vibratory frequency mode, a pop-up window appears on the display for 2 seconds. The pop-up window shows the currently chosen mode. The machine ECM number one stores the currently chosen mode in memory after 5 seconds have elapsed since the last actuation of the switch. This action allows the system to start up in the last chosen vibratory frequency mode after the engine start switch has been cycled through the OFF position.

Operator Seat (10) Seat position switch "1" (11) Seat position switch "2" | |
The optional seat position switches are located at the base of the operator seat. A removable panel provides access to these components. The seat position switches are proximity switches.
The machine ECM number "one" monitors the state of seat position switch "1" (10) and seat position switch "2" (11) in order to determine the position of the operator seat.
When seat position switch "1" (10) is closed and seat position switch "2" (11) is open, the machine ECM number "one" determines that the operator seat is facing forward. When seat position switch "1" is open and seat position switch "2" is closed, the machine ECM number "one" determines that the operator seat is facing rearward.
When both seat position switches are closed, the machine ECM number "one" determines that the operator seat is in a transitional position. When in this transitional position, the propel, steering, and vibratory systems are temporarily disabled until one of the seat position switches is open.
When both seat position switches are open, the machine ECM number "one" logs a level "3" fault and disables the propel, steering, and vibratory systems.
