Press the Cross Slope button (10) to access the "Cross Slope" page.

Cross Slope Auto Mode

While viewing the Cross Slope page, press one of the "Auto" buttons in the cab to place the Grade Control System in "Auto" mode. Once in "Auto" mode, the system will automatically control the selected side of the blade to maintain the target cross slope angle.

Illustration 5	g03825096
(11) "Auto" symbol

The green "Auto" symbol (11) will appear on the page to indicate which side of the blade is being controlled automatically by the Cross Slope system.

• The "Actual %" and "Target %" values appear on the Cross Slope page.

• The "Actual %" value is the actual Cross Slope angle of the blade.

• The "Target %" value is the desired surface value the operator wants to attain. A flat or level surface has a "Target %" of "0".

In "Auto" mode, the system drives one blade tip to achieve the desired angle. The other blade tip is controlled manually by the operator. When the operator raises or lowers the manual side of the blade, the automatic side of the blade follows in the same direction to maintain the Target Slope Angle. The synchronized movement between the operator-controlled blade tip and the automatic blade tip is called Cross Coupling.

In "Auto" mode, the selected side will automatically actuate the solenoids to match the Actual slope to the Target Slope. If the operator moves the opposite side of the blade, the side in automatic mode will attempt to maintain the Target Angle.

When one blade tip is operating in "Auto" mode, the Auto/Manual switch of the opposite blade tip may be pressed to seamlessly transfer control to the opposite blade tip.

When one blade tip is operating in "Auto" mode, pressing the Auto/Manual switch again will return the system to the "Manual" state. In the "Manual" state, the Cross Slope system is no longer driving the blade to achieve the Target Cross Slope Angle.

Cross Slope Auto Mode Not Allowed

Illustration 6	g03825179
(12) "Auto Not Allowed" symbol

The yellow "Auto Not Allowed" symbol (12) will appear on the page if the operator attempts to go into "Auto" mode without meeting all the following conditions for allowing automatic blade control:

• Park brake is not set.

• Hydraulic lockout is disengaged.

• There are no active Diagnostics against any of the components related to the Cross Slope Control System.

Cross Slope Manual Mode

Illustration 7	g03825230
(13) "Manual" Mode icon

In "Manual" mode, the "Manual" mode icon (13) will appear on the page. The "Manual" mode icon will appear on the same side of the Display as the blade that was previously running in automatic mode. When the machine is powered ON, the "Manual" mode icon will default to the right side.

In "Manual" mode, the blade will not be automatically controlled, but the Actual Slope and Light Bars will still appear as a reference for the operator.

Press the desired (left or right) "Auto" button to switch to "Auto" mode.

Cross Slope Graphical Light Bar

(14) Left Graphical Light Bar (15) Right Graphical Light Bar

Illustration 9	g03825310
Graphical Light Bars

The Graphical Light Bars appear on each side of the Cross Slope page. Each Light Bar indicates an error between the Actual and Target Cross Slope Angles. Each Light Bar is composed of green and yellow arrows that provide the visual indication of this error. On-Grade tolerance for each light bar is set in the Cross Slope Control System settings menu.

Illustration 10	g03825424

Cross Slope Articulation Machine Icon

Illustration 11	g03825429
(16) Articulation Machine Icon

The system will calculate the Cross Slope angle most accurately under specific conditions. These conditions include:

• Circle centered underneath the frame

• No wheel lean

• Smooth operation in a straight line

• No articulation

Failure to follow any of these recommendations will introduce error into the final Cross Slope Angle. If the articulation angle exceeds a predefined limit, the Articulation Machine icon (16) will appear on the Grade Control screen to remind the operator to straighten the machine. The Articulation Machine icon will disappear from the page if the system determines that restorative conditions have been met.

Cross Slope Number of Targets

(17) "Number of Targets" box

Illustration 13	g03825442
(18) Machine button

• If the Advanced Control Joysticks are installed, the machine will default to four available targets. The Number of Targets box (17) will display a setting of "1/4". One (1) is the chosen target. Four (4) represents the available targets.

• The operator can set the number of targets from a minimum of one to a maximum of nine on the Cross Slope display.

• If the Advanced Control Joysticks are not installed but the Cross Slope is installed, the engine will default to one available target. The "Number of Targets" box (17) will display a setting of "1/1". Without the joysticks, the operator will not have the hardware available to choose between favorite targets. Therefore, the operator will be limited to just one available target.

The "Number of Targets" setting allows the operator to choose the number of targeted Cross Slope favorites to be selected. These favorites can be stored for use with the Advanced Control Joysticks and the Cross Slope System.

All three Cross Slope settings can be adjusted by using an Increment/Decrement bar (22). The three settings are as follows:

• Value Speed

• Vertical Tolerance

• Offset Adjust

Note: Refer to the section "Machine > Machine Settings > Cross Slope".

1. Press the "Machine" button (18) on the right-hand side of the Display. The "Machine Settings" menu page will appear.

2. Press the "Cross Slope" button (20). The "Cross Slope" button will highlight in yellow.

3. Use the Increment/Decrement Bar (22) to adjust the percentage value for each of the following:

   • Valve Speed

   • Vertical Tolerance

   • Offset Adjust

   Press the PLUS (+) button on the right end of the bar to increase the number. Press the MINUS (-) button on the left end of the bar to decrease the number.

   The numbers will appear in yellow text while setting. The newly set number will appear in white text.

4. Use the DOWN Arrow button (21) to move the Non-Interactive Scroll Bar (23) to Cross Slope Page Two (Set Number of Targets).

   1. Press the PLUS (+) button on the right end of the bar to increase the number.

   2. Press the MINUS (-) button on the left end of the bar to decrease the number.

      The numbers will appear in yellow text while setting. The newly set number will appear in white text.

Cat^® Detect

Cat^® Detect is a system used to monitor objects that appear within designated machine blind spots when the machine is in neutral or reverse.

The Cat Object Detection System for the Motor Grader typically consists of a camera, two radar sensors, and the Display ECM. The Display provides indications from the Radar Detection System. To provide a means of indicating the proximity of Radar detection, the Display provides a five-zone indication. The indication covers the four uppermost hot keys on the left side of the Display. If an object is in the critical zone, the Display will provide an audible and visual warning.

Illustration 18	g03825582
Cat Detect indication bars cover the four uppermost hot keys.

During the power-up process, the Display will perform a self-test. During the self-test, the Display will ensure that all components are communicating. An alarm on the Display will sound momentarily. When the self-test is completed, the following will occur:

• The System Status indicator will turn green.

• The camera will become active.

• The Proximity Bar will become active.

Cat Detect Side Proximity Bar

(28) Proximity Bar (29) Indication button

The Cat Detect Proximity Bar (28) provides five states of warning:

• An escalation of one, two, and three YELLOW segments.

• An escalation of four and five RED segments. At five RED segments, an audible alert will occur.

Note: The number of bars indicates the nearness or the proximity of the object. The more bars, the nearer the object.

Cat Detect Indication Button

The Cat Detect Indication button (29) appears on the left side of the Display. Depending on the level of activity and the detection state, the Indication button will appear as green, yellow, or red (Illustration 20).

When Cat Detect detects a problem, the faulted state is red and the alarm activates for 2 seconds. Once the fault condition is removed, the system is active as indicated by a green status icon.
