`
`Subject to change (without notice):
`
`We have taken trouble to keep the information in these operating instructions
`correct and up to date. To maintain our technical leadership it may be necessary,
`without notice, to make changes to the product or its operation which, in certain
`circumstances, do not correspond to these instructions. In this case your MOBA
`supplier can supply up to date operating instructions. We accept no liability for
`disturbances, breakdowns or damages caused thereby.
`
`1.2 Packaging and storage
`
`In order to ensure adequate protection during transport, the products have been
`carefully packed.
`On receipt the goods and the packaging should be checked for damage.
`
`
`In case of damage the equipment must not be operated!
`Damaged cables or connectors are also a risk to safety and, likewise,
`must not be used!
`
`
`
`
`In this case, please contact your MOBA supplier.
`
`
`
`
`If the equipment is not to be used directly after it is unpacked it must be
`protected from dampness and dirt.

`
`
`
`1.3 Precautionary measures
`
`
`
`Before mounting, servicing and operating the equipment please read
`the operating instructions carefully and completely. If questions
`arise, please contact your MOBA supplier.
`
`
`Safety measures:
`The safety measures recommended here correspond basically to the guidelines for
`installation und commissioning of electrical systems. They can be used for all
`applications in conjunction with MOBA equipment.
`
`Mounting:
`When mounting the equipment only original MOBA-cables may be used. The
`connectors may not be disconnected from the cables because they are protected
`against dampness; opening them will destroy the protection. Make sure that the
`securing screws of all the connectors are tightened. Further mounting information
`for the equipment and sensors can be taken from the enclosed data sheets or the
`installation instructions.
`
`Wiring:
`The wiring must be carried out correctly and corresponding information given in
`these instructions. All supply leads and connecting terminals must be sized for the
`corresponding current. Further, all connections must be made in accordance with
`valid VDE regulations or with valid national regulations.
`
`Safety against disturbances:
`This equipment has been designed for industrial use and has been tested
`correspondingly. Nevertheless, 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:
`
`
`Page 8 of 71
`
`

`

`
`
`7
`
` •
`
` Make sure that the polarity of the connections is correct;
`• Supply voltages may not exceed, or fall short of, the given ranges;
`• 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 relays coils;
`• The requirement for a disturbance-free operation is a good electrical connection
`between the machine and the case/chassis of the separate components;
`• Connect 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 resp. disconnect their power supply before
`welding;
`
`
`Maximum Voltages:
`Do not exceed the maximum allowed voltages. If not otherwise noted, the maximum
`voltage between any two isolated circuits, or between one circuit and earth is 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 fitted with electronic fuses for protection against crossed
`connections, voltage spikes and short term over-voltages. The supply voltages given
`in the technical data may 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.
`
`
`Page 9 of 71
`
`

`

`8
`
`
`
`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, because it is not independent of the control system, provide
`adequate protection.
`
`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 fitted
`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.
`
`Ask for help:
`For questions about the operation or about mounting please contact your MOBA
`supplier.
`
`If the above precautionary measures are not observed, this 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
`
`
`
`The G 176 plus controller is used for the automatic
`levelling of a tool. The controller is designed for mobile
`application and particularly
`for
`the use
`in
`rough
`environment. Most of the time the unit is used for the
`levelling on asphalt pavers therefore an asphalt paver is
`used for explaining the main functions in this manual. The
`G 176 plus is also designed for milling machines, concrete
`pavers and other construction equipment.
`
`the
`is mounted on
`The unit
`machine and follows a reference
`using a special sensing tool. A
`change in height between the
`machine and
`reference will
`cause a rotation of the sensing
`axis. The sensor determines the
`angle of rotation and the change
`in height is calculated. Proportional to this value the
`controller adjusts the valves to correct the height.
`
`
`
`
`You can add a Slope sensor S 276 plus to the levelling
`system, if required.

`4. Mounting of the G 176 plus
`
`
`
`The level controller G 176 plus can be mounted easily
`and rapidly with simple tools. For this purpose a
`fastening
`
`tube with a crank handle should be
`mounted as an extension of the control unit (on the
`asphalt paver at the tow arm close to the auger or at
`the milling machine on the protection housing of the
`drum)
`1. Push ON push button to set STANDBY.
`2. Loosen the locking screws of the fastening tube.
`3.
`Insert the round mount boss that is on top of the
`controller's housing vertically into the fastening
`tube.
`4. Turn the controller's housing so that the operator
`can see the lamps (front panel of the device
`against the direction of travel).
`5. Lock the controller's mount boss to the fastening
`tube with the according locking screws.

`
`Push the ON push button to set STANDBY. Connect the 7 pole socket of the
`connecting cable to the 7 pole plug of the controller. Connect the 10 pole socket of
`the connecting cable to the 10 pole device plug of the machine. About 70% of all
`pavers are equipped with a 10 pole machine connector. Therefore here we only
`handle this "standard connection". More connection types by request.

`
`
`4.2 Valve interruption function
`
`
`
`13
`
`In case of working safety the controller contains the special function “Input valve
`interruption”. Therefore pin F of the 7 pin connector (Pin J at 10 pin cable connector)
`provides a port which monitors the applied voltage. To use this function an extra switch has
`to be installed at a meaningful place on the machine, the control stand for example.
`
`
`“Input valve interruption” is active if + VCC or – VCC is applied. Immediately no outputs are
`activated and the LED “ON push button” is flashing.

`
`4.4 Methods of sensing
`
`
`
`15
`
`Sensing of a string line (with sensing tube)
`Set the counterweight of the sensor arm in such a way that the sensor arm presses
`the sensing tube onto the reference. If the tension of the string line used a reference
`is too low, it is possible to guide the sensing tube beneath the string line with light
`pressure.
`
`Sensing of a surface (with sensing ski)
`Set the counterweight of the sensor arm in such way that the sensor arm presses
`the sensing ski onto the reference.

`5. Operating and working examples
`
`5.1 Description of the G 176 plus
`
`The controller has the capability to work with all kinds of construction machinery.
`Two LED displays and 5 push buttons are ensuring the ease of operation. The main
`working principal of the controller is the levelling process of a working tool (e.g.
`screed on a paver) in accordance with a defined reference. The controller is
`continuously sensing the reference. In case of a deviation between the reference
`and working tool the controller will start automatically steering the valves until the
`deviation is eliminated. Depending on the size of the deviation the controller is using
`variable output signals. Short output signals for small deviations, longer signals for
`bigger deviations. The result is a fast working speed with high accuracy.

`5.5 Sensitivity settings
`
`The LED scale shows the current chosen sensitivity.
`
`
`The adjustment fort he sensitivity is reaching from 1 (low
`sensitivity) to 10 (high sensitivity). Sensitivity is a setting
`value which combines the governor settings of "death band"
`and "pulsing range".
`In case of non smooth operation while the controller is in
`automatic mode you may have to change the setting value for
`the sensitivity. If the controller is working too slow you have
`to increase the sensitivity, if it's working too fast you have to
`decrease the value.

`7. Maintenance
`
`7.1 General information
`
`The controller is designed for high working safety so that the maintenance needs a minimum
`of procedures only. The electronic components are mounted in a solid case in order to avoid
`any mechanical damage.
`
`
`7.2 Periodic maintenance
`
`The power supply cables should also be checked regularly in order to detect any damage
`and dirt.
`
`Note:
`Keep the thread of the plug-connections and of the cable connectors free of any dirt, grease,
`asphalt or concrete in order to avoid a bad contact. Remove any asphalt or concrete
`sticking to the sensor arm by means of an appropriate agent and oil the bearing afterwards.
`
`7.3 Cleaning of device
`
`Switch off the digital controller
`
`apply a normal washing-up detergent to a soft, lintfree piece of cloth
`clean appliance surfaces without pressure
`remove the detergent from the appliances with a clean piece of cloth

`
`Subject to change (without notice):
`
`We have taken trouble to keep the information in these operating instructions
`correct and up to date. To maintain our technical leadership it may be necessary,
`without notice, to make changes to the product or its operation which, in certain
`circumstances, do not correspond to these instructions. In this case your MOBA
`supplier can supply up to date operating instructions. We accept no liability for
`disturbances, breakdowns or damages caused thereby.
`
`1.2 Packaging and storage

`When mounting the equipment only original MOBA-cables may be used. The
`connectors may not be disconnected from the cables because they are protected
`against dampness; opening them will destroy the protection. Make sure that the
`securing screws of all the connectors are tightened. Further mounting information
`for the equipment and sensors can be taken from the enclosed data sheets or the
`installation instructions.
`
