Operation
SkySense slows a machine's drive speed to elevated drive speed
when it is a certain distance away from an object, known as the
"warning zone." If the machine continues to approach the object
and moves into the "stop zone," SkySense stops all machine func-
tions.
For proportional functions activated by the joystick, the size of
the warning zone varies based on the amount of joystick activa-
tion. The stop zone always activates at the same distance from
the object regardless of the joystick's position.
If the function has reached the warning zone, release and re-
engage to return to normal drive speed in the opposite direction.
If the machine has reached the SkySense stop zone, release the
function and recycle the footswitch to activate a function in the
opposite direction.

• Platform Rotate
• Telescope Out
• Swing
• Reverse Drive
NOTE:
During active Drive Orientation System (DOS), SkySense is active
when driving in both forward and reverse directions.
There are two LED indicators on the platform control box that sig-
nal SkySense activity.
• No LED: Normal operation.
• LED Flashing Yellow: Machine is in SkySense warning
zone and will reduce to elevated drive height speed. Flash
frequency correlates to closeness of object.
• LED Red: Machine is in SkySense stop zone and all
machine functions will cease.
• LED Flashing Red: SkySense sensor is obstructed or dam-
aged. Obstructions must be removed and proper function
verified. Damaged sensors must be replaced.
