Function of the Compatec Compaction System (if equipped)

Function The function of the Compatec compaction system is to indicate:
■ Compaction progress,
■ When the machine has achieved the maximum soil density it can achieve,
■ If the machine is operating on too hard of a substrate and runs the risk of
The Compatec compaction system is suitable for all mixed (well-graded) soils.
Note: The Compatec compaction system only serves to assist in soil compaction
and does not replace professional measurement of soil density.

illuminated LEDs, the greater the density of the soil.
When the number of illuminated LEDs stops increasing, no more compaction is
obtainable. The maximum number of illuminated LEDs will vary greatly depending
on the type of soil being compacted. For example, a soft clay material may only
reach a maximum of 3 lit LEDs.

being damaged.
Function
The sensor is mounted on the front drum support. It signals to the
processing module the level of soil compaction.
The processing module is mounted under the rear hood. It receives
signals from the sensor. It processes the signals and communicates
with the LED display unit.
The LED display unit (a) is mounted on the hood. The LED display
unit consists of eight LEDs (b). The LEDs illuminate to communicate
the information received from the processing module.
