DECELERATOR CONTROL GROUP 9S8023 - Caterpillar

With a Project selected in the "Job Setup" tile, none of the "Dashboard" tiles should be red and the GRADE system can be started.Validate Machine Measurements
Follow the procedure below to validate the machine measurements:
Ensure that the radio is configured to match the base station and is working properly. Refer to the supporting documentation from the radio supplier. Contact the site foreman, Cat Dealer GNSS specialist, or SiTECH for extra assistance.
Validate the blade wear measurement.
Follow all safety procedures outlined in this manual and the machine Operation and Maintenance Manual. Be certain the blade is in the down position before performing the following procedure.
With the blade of the machine in the down position on the ground, measure the height of the cutting edge. Measure to the center of the bolt holes.

From the "Setup Menu - Configuration" dialog, select the "Blade Wear" option. Refer to Illustration 94.Note: Be aware of the units. If the display is set up in metric units, the blade measurement must be entered in metric units. If the display is set up in feet, the blade measurement must be entered in tenths of feet.
Verify that the blade wear measurement is correct. If the measurement is not correct, use the arrow keys to enter a value into the "Cutting Edge Height" field.Note: Blade wear is calculated during the measure up. Error between the displayed blade wear value and the measured blade wear, indicates an error in the entered measure-up value. Double check values entered against values measured for mistakes or improper units. If the source of any gross error cannot be identified, repeat the measure-up.
Validate the blade measure-up and system accuracy with rover checks.
Failure to use an approved access system during installation and removal of components could result in slipping and falling which could result in personal injury or death. To prevent injury or death, use an approved access system to reach the appropriate mounting locations of the components. Do not climb on the machine. Maintain three-points of contact and/or use a safety harness.
Ensure that the acrylic targets are removed from the blade.
Ensure that the measure-up tool has been removed from the GNSS antennas.
Load a Project in the GRADE application with a design surface and site calibration that matches the design surface and site calibration on a GNSS rover which can be used to check the GRADE system.
Check that all dashboard tiles are in working order and allow the main screen to be started.
Confirm that the GRADE system has high precision GNSS accuracy.
Confirm that the site calibration used in the project on the GRADE system matches the site calibration used in the GNSS rover. Also, confirm that the GRADE system and GNSS rover are connected to the same base station or equivalent correction source.
