Are you struggling with the new grade control system on Wirtgen Fi Series milling machines? The Level Pro Active system might seem complex at first, but once you understand its features, you’ll see how it simplifies your work and enhances precision. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering grade control, saving you time and effort on the job.
Key Features of Level Pro Active
1. Intuitive Automatic Functions
The Level Pro Active system operates similarly to its predecessor, with independent automatic controls for the right and left sides. By simply pressing the swap buttons, you can easily move the middle screen to the outside controls, ensuring seamless adjustments.
2. Match and Swap Sensors
One standout feature is the ability to match and swap sensors without stopping your workflow. Lower the rabbit foot, observe the grade reading, and switch sensors seamlessly. The system automatically matches the settings, eliminating the need for manual recalibration.
3. Slope Adjustments Made Simple
Switching to slope mode no longer requires manual synchronization. Use the dedicated match-and-swap button to align slope values instantly, ensuring the machine maintains consistent grades during transitions.
Advanced Functionalities You’ll Love
Set Your Zero with Ease
Calibrating the system is straightforward—just press the button to set zero, and adjust using the dial. Whether you need precise tenth-inch changes or rapid whole-inch adjustments, the system adapts to your needs.
Customizable Screens
Operators can toggle between three screen configurations, optimizing their workflow. This flexibility ensures that ground operators and machine controllers can work in harmony without disrupting each other’s settings.
Water Management Enhancements
From controlling the spray bar to adjusting water pressure based on machine load, Level Pro Active ensures you maintain optimal cooling and dust suppression. The ability to calculate water usage for the remaining job distance adds even more efficiency to the process.
