information given in these instructions. All supply leads and
connecting terminals must be sized for the corresponding current.

Safety against disturbances:

7
 http://www.sz-kaito.com
E-mail: [email protected]

This equipment has been designed for industrial use and has been tested
accordingly. However, microprocessor technology puts certain demands
on the installation. We would therefore like to point out the following
things about an installation that, if not taken into account, can lead
later to disturbances during operation.

 Ensure that the polarity of the connections is correct;

 Supply voltages may not exceed, or fall short of, the specified values;

 Protect the equipment with a suitable supply fuse;

 Use cables suitable for the currents and voltages ;

 Make the cabling paths as short as possible (avoid loops);

 Separate control cables from power cables as far as possible;

 Suppress contactor and relais coils; (diode suppressor connectors)

 The requirement for a disturbance-free operation is a good electrical

connection

 between the machine and the case/chassis of the separate components;

 Connnect screened cables to earth at one end only (the equipment end);

 Do not supply other equipment directly from the supply terminals of this

 equipment;

 Do not use unused terminals as connection points for other equipment;

 Remove all system components, disconnect their power supply before welding;

Maximum Voltages:

Do not exceed the maximum allowed voltages. The maximum voltage between
8
 1. Summarize

any two isolated circuits, or between one circuit and earth, is, if
not otherwise noted, limited to the highest value of the corresponding
input voltage or the corresponding supply voltage. The connecting
terminals or plug must be equipped with a fuse.

Fuses:

The equipment is designed with electronic fuses for protection against

reversed connections, voltage spikes and short term over-voltages. The
supply voltages given in the technical data must not be exceeded.

Configuration:

The equipment can be configured by the user. When reconfiguring, the

user is obliged to do this only in accordance with the circumstances
of the complete system.

Alarm device:

In complex systems, in which a malfunction could lead to danger to the

operating personnel or to the system, it is wise to employ an
independent alarm device to supervise the process. An independent
device offers protection by announcing an alarm and switching off the
system. In many cases the use of an alarm in the controller does not,
provide adequate protection.

E-mail: [email protected]

Areas endangered by explosion:

The equipment is not for use in areas endangered by

explosion.

Clearance of faults:

Before starting to clear faults make sure that every voltage supply
to the equipment has been removed. Faulty equipment should be examined
in an area suitably set up out for test purposes. Every attempt to
correct a fault in equipment that is still installed can be dangerous
for personnel and for the system. Before you remove or exchange sensors
in the system, make sure that the supply voltages have been removed.

Ask for help:

For questions about the operation or about mounting please contact

Kaito.

Failure to observe the above measures can lead to a failure of the

equipment, of the machine or even injury to personnel. Damage or injury,
which is traceable to non-observance of the precautionary measures
described above, is excluded from the manufacturer´s guarantee.

2. Product description

3The MOBA-matic is a universal control system for building machines

of all types.The extensive range of sensors used for distance- and
slope measurement as well as its ease of operation and reliability make
MOBA-matic a flexible and efficient control system for pavers,
concrete road finishers, mastic asphalt finishers, milling machines,
dozers, Kilvar- and built-on graders.。

The system is based on modern micro-processor technology and

communicates using the ”CAN-bus“ (Controlled Area Network).

This CAN-bus represents the state of the art in electronic vehicle

equipment and therefore guarantees maximum system safety. Furthermore,
it facilitates the system’s central operation and, due to its modular
design, its ability for expansion.Due to this, you may fit in new
sensors anytime and without any problems, so that the system will
always suit the application requirements.The heart of the system, the
digital controller, identifies all connected sensorsautomatically as
soon as the system is switched on.In addition to this, MOBA-matic can
also be connected to a GPS or total station.

4.4.1 Sensitivity setting

If Kaito-matic is operated with different sensor types(grade and slope

sensors)the sensitivity of the controller should be individually
adjusted.

The range of adjustment of this menu point is always from 1 (low

sensitivity) to 10 (high sensitivity). These figures are derived from
an ingenious combination of the control parameters “Deadband“ and
“Propband“, which was determined by an extensive test series and many
years of expierence.

The sensitivity has to be adjusted separately for grade and slope

sensors. If a sensor has to be replaced at a later point of time, this
value will be automatically saved. If KAITO-matic is too active in the
automatic mode, the sensitivity needs to be reduced on the respective
digital controller. If KAITO-matic is too sluggish in the automatic
mode, the sensitivity needs to be increased.

This menu point only appears if a grade sensor has been chosen as active
sensor at the menu point “Sensor selection”, because it only has effect
on this type of sensor.

If a control deviation appears that is bigger than the set range this
control deviation will be recognized as a fault.

The display will show the symbol for the control window, both direction
arrows of the LC display and the complete LED arrow flash and the drive
of the hydraulic cylinders will be switched off.

The input is done in 0.1 cm, 0,1 inch or 0,01 feet steps, depending
on which physical unit for the distance measurements was set (see also

5. The Sonic-Ski sensor

5.1 Description

The Sonic-Ski sensor is used for non-contacting elevation control. It

uses 6 ultrasonic elements, 5 for elevation measurements and 1 for
temperature compensation.

Sensor identification:：

After switch-on or if a sensor has been changed, the display alternates

between the symbol for the Sonic-Ski and the sign for SEn.

5.2 Mounting instructions and working range

The Sonic-Ski can be mounted easily andquickly using simple tools. For
this purpose, a fastening tube should be
fitted at a suitable position (paver: on the
tow arm; milling machine: on the frame).

Procedure：

1. Loosen the locking handles on the mounting

2. Insert the center pivot of the sensor into the mounting tube.

3. Turn the sensor housing according to the required direction of

travel.

4. Fix the center pivot with the locking handle.

Detailed installation instructions specific installation

refer to chapter 7.

Direction of travel：

The direction of travel of the Sonic-Ski is determined as follows：

When ground sensing, the Sonic-Ski

should work in parallel to the directio of travel.(averaging is done by the

Sonic-Ski).）。

ground sensing string line sensing

When string line sensing, the Sonic-Ski should operate perpendicular

to the direction of travel, so that the full working width of 25 cm
is available.
32
5. The Sonic-Ski sensor

The working range:：

The working range for ground-

and string

line sensing is between 30cm

and 40cm(11.75 in and
15.75in).

In this range, the measured value is indicated with a constant display,

otherwise the display flashes (positioning aid).

The Sonic-Ski should be adjusted at a distance of approx.. 35 cm

(13.75in) from the reference.

5.3 Working with the Sonic-Ski sensor

It is assumed that the Sonic-Ski and the digital controller are mounted,
the cables are connected and the digital controller has its voltage
supply. After the switch-on message, the digital controller indicates
the type of sensor. As soon as this message disappears automatically,
the system is ready for work. If the sensor is used for the first time
or has been changed, the sensor identification must be acknowledged
by pressing any one of the push buttons. If necessary, select this
sensor as described insection 4.

6. Non-contact balance beam

6.1 Description

The principle of non-contact balance beam is average the detection

value of sonic-ski, this system adopts three sensors(such as, three
ultrasonic wave protector skids, or two sonic-ski at the front and back,
and one string sensor in the middle, these sensors locate in machine’s
support beam ).

There has exceptional case as follow, only adopting two sensors at the
front and back, and averaging the detection value of the two sensors.

Therefore, reference for pavement longitudinal uneven or part of the

“wave” will be removed.

Sensor identification：

After the system be powered on or replace sensor, LCD display

alternately digital identification code “1” to “3” on sensor, and “SEn”
sensor identification symbol. Sonic-ski’s switching box has been
connected on protector skid’s sensor to identify digital.

7.Mounting instructions of Balance beam
6.2 Function pattern

Not only the single sonic-ski has the function of removing deviation
through averaging detection value, Non-contact balance beam(three
sensors) also has this function.

After averaging the detection value, it still has deviation, then the
deviation will be removed by “control range” function.

6.3 Mounting

Using non-contact balance beam, can only adopt the

pavement induction mode..

Therefore, all of the sonic-ski should be placed

vertically , to obtain the best effect of construction.

Using non-contact balance beam also need to consider

the work range of sonic-ski. Each sonic-ski should be Ground

7.4 Operation of the leveling system

It is assumed that the Big-Ski and the digital controller are mounted,
that all cables are connected and the digital controller has its
voltage supply. After the switch-on message, the digital controller
indicates the sensor identification. As soon as the message disappears,
the system will be operable. If the Big-Ski is being used for the first
time or the sensor combination has been changed, the sensor
identification has to be acknowledged by pressing any one of the push
buttons. If necessary,select a sensor as described in section 4.
