- Page 4 How to change what the “Reference now” button on the main screen does Go to “2D Configuration” on the main menu When you press the "Ref. type" button, it changes the function. "TO TARGET": When the cutting edge is at the target depth "TO BENCH": When the cutting edge is at bench height (survey stake or laser line) "TO HEADING": When the machine is aligned with a set direction "TO POINT": When the cutting edge touches a point on the current profile/job...
- Page 5 Setting up the job In the 2D configuration menu, we can set up the job to reflect our requirements When you press "Job type," it changes the shape of the target surface (green line). Pressing "Job settings" opens a menu where you can set bench/target heights, grades, and more.
- Page 6 Ready to dig In the 2D configuration menu, set up the job to reflect requirements Once setup is complete, return to the main screen, which shows how settings are reflected. The bench provides a reference point as the machine moves around, here set at 0 meters.
- Page 7 Using 2D digging Following our current example, we’ve set the job type to “flat”, with a 1m target depth The reference type is set to "To bench," so when the bottom left button is pressed, the bench height on the screen aligns with the cutting edge.
- Page 8 Using 2D digging Now we can start digging. Dig the desired hole, using the value on screen to confirm the required depth Digging between ground and target depth Target depth has been reached Target depth has been exceeded T: +44 (0) 1202 441 000 E: sales@prolec.co.uk W: www.prolec.co.uk...
- Page 9 Gradient job - Setup A gradient job is similar to a flat job, but the ground follows a known % grade (and/or cross-grade) Pressing the top right button will change the job type Cycle through until “GRADIENT” is selected We will find the reference type “TO TARGET”...
- Page 10 Gradient job - Usage To make best use of the gradient job type, follow these steps Extend the machine to full reach and place on the ground at start of the dig, and press “Reference now”. The tool point will be aligned as we have seen before.
- Page 11 Gradient job - Job settings Edit the cross-grade value in job settings The tool window will show the target cross-grade Note that cross-grades are left-to-right from the operator’s perspective, and normal grades are uphill (looking forward). Negative values can be used if required, to dig in the alternative direction.
- Page 12 Complex shape job - Setup Side-on perspective Change the job type to “SHAPE (SIDE)” The ref. type will be set to “TO POINT” as this is the only possible reference for this job type. In job settings, we can edit the dig shape, as well as any required cross-grade Setting the dig shape...
- Page 13 Complex shape job - Usage Side-on perspective Start by picking a known reference point, then position the cutting edge on it. Press “Reference now” repeatedly until the correct part of the shape is aligned correctly with the tool on-screen. (the current active point on the complex shape is shown in blue) Then dig using the target distance indicator as a guide.
- Page 14 Complex shape job - Trench Head-on perspective This job type is similar to the previous one, except the viewing position is head-on rather than side-on. This can be useful for digging trenches. Change the job type to “SHAPE (AHEAD)” The ref. type will be set to “TO POINT”...
- Page 15 Complex shape job - Trench Head-on perspective The active tool point is shown in red, and can be switched between centre, left, and right. This part of the tool is aligned to the selected reference point when the “Reference now” button is pressed.
- Page 16 2D Essentials 2D Essentials may be used on machines without fitting an additional tool sensor. (contact your local dealer to activate 2D Essentials on an existing PME installation, simply with a software upgrade). How to tell if you have 2D Essentials or 2D Standard In 2D Essentials, the bucket on the screen shows two possible positions at the same time: one “flat-bottomed”...
- Page 17 2D Essentials - Usage Digging using 2D Essentials is the same process as using 2D with a tool sensor. The difference is that the tool on screen will not reflect the real angle. The two orientations, however, can be used with some operator intuition to sufficiently dig any job.
- Page 18 PME Limits Limits on height and slew can be set while digging with 2D. Access these from the limits menu using the button on the main screen. Consult the PME 100-500 Quick Start Guide for assistance. We’ve set up a height limit. Height and depth limits are shown on the 2D display.
- Page 19 PME Limits - continued Slew limits, cab-protection and maximum-reach limits may also be set. Consult the PME 100-500 Quick Start Guide for assistance. These limits are shown in the slew circle Slew angle limit Arrows show safe directions of movement. Green indicates unrestricted movement, amber shows a slowdown, and red shows that motion is cut.

- Page 22 Glossary Bench - A “reference” height or depth for determining the machine’s height relative to the site. An example might be a laser beam, survey stake or a piece of ground at a known height. May be the same as the datum, or offset by a constant amount. Datum - a known “zero point”...
