Digging With A Known Starting Level; Depth Measurement, Moving The Excavator - Novatron Xsite EASY User Manual

6.2 Digging with a known starting level

Set the height difference between the starting point and the target level as the starting level (3.00
m in this example) in "Main menu" → "Starting level". Use the arrow keys to set the desired height
and press "Save". You can also set the starting level by pressing and holding the "0.0" button in the
measurement mode for three seconds.
Move the bucket to a stake or other reference point. Zero the measurement value by pressing the
"0.0" button. The starting level ("3.00" in this example) appears on the screen (Figure 25).

During digging, the value decreases. Target level has been reached when the reading is "0.00"
(Figure 26).

6.3 Depth measurement, moving the excavator

When moving the excavator, its altitude always changes. To maintain the original reference level,
the bucket must be taken to a certain reference point before and after moving the machine, or a
rotating laser has to be used.
When moving the excavator, it is advised to use the laser to achieve the best

possible accuracy (see chapter 6.3.1).
