GPS Radio Configuration
Used to configure radio type also accessed in the Tools menu
LD-40 Setup
LD-40 Setup
Search finds all attached LD-40 light bars and will populate the ID boxSelect an LD-40 from the ID pull downWith the LD-40 selected the Identify button will cause all the lights flash
LD-40 Setup
LocationSelect how the LD-40 is to be used
•Left edge (position information for the left edge to the design surface)•Right edge (position information for the right edge to the design surface)•Cut/Fill (will be the point you select on the blade in the blade control menu)•Slope (the difference from actual slope to design slope matches 9168 LEDs)•Steering (LD-40 being used as a steering indicator)
LD-40 Setup
CenteredIf checked the On-Grade will be positioned in the center of the LD-40If unchecked the On-Grade will be positioned on the lower half of the LD-40
•Typical application for Excavators or scrapers making large cuts working down to grade
LD-40 Setup
InvertedThe Inverted option selects the correct orientation of the LD-40
LD-40 Setup
PrecisionsSet the sensitivity of the LD-40 LEDs.

LD-40 Setup
ColorsChanges the Cut/Fill colors.
•Yellow over Red•Red over Blue
LD-40 Setup
Auto/2DThe operator can select to have the LED on the Left or Right LD-40 illuminate when the machine is in auto. The Auto Left/Right selection is for 3D mode. The 2D Left/Right selection is for 2D mode. When operating a Grader both the Right and Left Auto switches need to be in auto for the LED to illuminate.
Dozer Configuration
Dozer Sensor Selection
