Positioning the Machine for Production

Note the current deviations with as-built checks. Liaise with the machine operator to get
machine approximately onto line and level.
Ensure that the machine controller is set to the correct steering mode (e.g. Leica 3D Mode),
with Steer & Elevation Sensitivities set to Minimum and all control loops set to Automatic.
Start Leica PaveSmart 3D automatic control by pressing the START button for one second.
Scratch the surface with the drum and dial in the offset you calculated with your as-built
checks. Ensure the controller is showing plausible actual values. Depending on application
and material, go to your milling depth by start manually or directly in Automatic. Check
milling depth immediately with some As-Built Measurements.
Ensure the underlying material to set the screed onto is on the correct height and the tow
arms are in the correct position for the paving depth. Set the screed on blocks to provide
the additional screed height to give the required compaction/roll-down factor (e.g. to
achieve a 100 mm final rolled layer thickness, typically means adding 25% additional mate-
rial, so a 125 mm paving layer thickness is required). Start paving in manual mode and the
check surface height (and make manual corrections using the screed operators' panels).
When the desired height is achieved and the screed has settled into its position and attack
angle, set the corrections (set values) with the actual value and set the machine's levelling
system (e.g. MOBAmatic or Vögele NaviTronic) into Automatic.

Position the machine within 10 cm (0.3ft) accuracy and parallel to the project ReferenceLine.
Use the HERE function (

) in the offset dialog to adjust the screed deviations after posi-
