GCS400 System Components LR400 LR400 EM400 CB420 EM400 VM410 M2-T Control Valve PM400 M2-T

CB420 Control Box Key Features Rugged Computer Area Network (CAN) based Dual Laser Control Simple operation Toggle and push button switches Dual LED grade displays Day or Night operation Display compensates for varying light conditions Display compensates for temperature maintaining sharp contrast Built in Audio Signals to warn of grade errors, switch activation, and system health. Can be quickly removed for storage when not in use. The CB420 is a rugged CAN based, operator interface for dual laser based machine control systems. Simple operation with toggle and push button switches gets you to grade fast and accurately. Dual LED grade displays relay the blade position to grade in day or night lighting condition to maximize productivity. The grade display automatically compensates for varying light conditions to ensure comfortable viewing. A graphical back lighted LCD provides numeric elevation and system configuration information with easy to read graphics. The backlight LCD is temperature compensated to maintain sharp contrast regardless of the weather. A built in beeper provide the operator audible tones to grade errors, switch activation, and system heath. This device is designed to be mounted in the cab while in operation, and be quickly removed for storage when not in use.

LR400 Linear Laser Receiver Key Features Combined laser detector and grade display unit Linear Receiver – Accurate over the full detection range 360 laser detection 100% Weatherproof Grade display uses auto-dimming LEDs that can be viewed comfortably in any conditions, including bright sunlight. Selectable on-grade accuracy allows configuration of the LR400 to match the job site tolerances. Industry standard CAN (SAE J1939) interface makes for reliable communication between components

EM400 Electric Mast Key Features Electric motor operated lead screw for positioning the height of the LR400 laser receiver The EM400 is used with the M2-T heavy-duty shock mount for mounting over the cutting edge of the blade In cab, elevation adjustments provide safe and accurate methods for benching the machine’s blade to finish grade Fine elevation adjustments Elevation offsets for rough cuts / material balancing While moving or stationary.

M4 Mast Shock Mount Key Features: Heavy duty to handle jobsite conditions Protects electric and manual masts from heavy shock and vibration

PM400 Power Module Key Features Delivers clean filtered power from 12 or 24 volt machines Delivers reliability to the GCS400 in rugged / tough conditions.

VM410 Valve Drive Module Key Features Dual control channels for driving Danfoss proportional voltage reference valves Industry standard J1939 CAN interface means that system communication has never been more reliable.
