3D Paving Training Start Procedure &
UTS Handover Procedure
Phil Jackson Training ManagerMarch 2010
Before you Start
Before You Start
Check you survey marks are present and accurate
Check your UTSs have the correct firmware and pass all calibration tests– Especially if they have travelled
Check your TDC2 has the correct SCS900 version, sites and designs– Check your Grade Check Pole Bubble
Paver – UTSHandover Procedure
Before you start
SCS – UTS Handover Procedure
Can be complicated & difficult Or can be simple It depends on your procedures
Pitfalls If 2 or more UTS have a machine with
the same Channel and Network ID, then the radios will interfere and neither will be heard
Two UTS are trying to talk to the same machine at the same time
SCS – UTS Handover Rule
Assign a Channel to each Machine or Grade Checker
Assign a Network ID to each UTS
SCS – UTS Handover Procedure
First for one paver
Next for 2 pavers
Channel = Machine
Assign a Channel to each Machine Paver 1 has Channel 31
Channel = Grade Checker
Assign a Channel to each Grade Checker Grade Checker 1 has Channel 1
Different Radio Channels
Now the 2 “Rovers on site, the Paver and the Grade Checker have DIFFERENT Radio Channels
SCS – UTS Handover Procedure
Assign a Network ID to each UTS UTS 1 has Network ID 1 UTS 2 has Network ID 2 Etc,
Paver – UTS Handover Procedure
Now when paving: Leave the Channel set to your Machine’s
Channel Change ONLY the Network ID to select the
UTS you want to use
Minimise Machine List Only have the required machine in the
SCS900 list The UTS cycles through every machine in the
list looking for a connection A short list means fast connections
Graphical UTS Handover
The next slide shows the method of transitioning down a road with multiple UTS– It is best viewed as a “Slide Show” so that you can
see the site build and transition as the paver progresses down the road

Tip
Unlike these slides –
Do NOT use the default values– Change the Grade Checker Channel to other than 1– Change the Machine Channel to other than 31– Change the UTS Network ID to other than 1
Paver – UTSHandover Procedure
While Paving
UTS Handover Procedure
1. Set 2D System to Manual2. Stop3. Grade Check4. Write Down the PCS900 Elevation5. In UTS screen Change Network ID ONLY6. In UTS screen Start the UTS7. CHECK the PCS900 Elevation
UTS Height Bust?
IF < 5 mm (~2/10th inch)
– carry on 5 – 15 mm
– Split the difference and bench >15 mm (5/10th inch)
– Yell at surveyor Find and use your own numbers
Can You Handover On The Fly?
Maybe If your not paying for mistakes If you have a really fast car to leave in If nobody has your cell phone number...
Can You Handover On The Fly?
Maybe If the design is smooth
– No transitions ahead If you have successfully Handed Over before
and are using the same procedure Have a fall-back plan
– If not 3D after 10(?) m then stop and fix
Maybe??
Use next UTS as temp grade checker to check set-up
