  • Display (with numerous screens and menus)

  • Indicators

  • Gauges

  • Soft Switch Panel

  • Jog Dial

The monitoring system displays various warnings and information about the condition of the machine, and the machines surrounding if equipped with a rear camera. There are gauges and several alert indicators included on the monitoring system display. Each gauge is dedicated to a parameter within the machine system. The monitoring system will allow the user to do the following:

  • View Surroundings

  • Interpret status information

  • Interpret parameters

  • Perform calibrations

  • Troubleshoot machine systems

Action Lamps (1)

The action lamps illuminate to show that a parameter outside of the normal operating range has occurred with the machine.

Event Indicators (2)



Illustration 2g06274544
