Clear and Logical Arrangement of Controls

Module 4
The ErgoPlus paver operators console has been designed
according to practice-related principles. All controls are
clearly arranged. Paver functions are clustered in logical
goups so that operators find their controls where they
would expect them to be.
On the ErgoPlus console, all push-buttons are easily
identifiable by touch even when wearing work gloves.

Once a button is pressed, off you go. This is due to the

Touch and Work principle. This means that a function
is executed directly without a need to confirm.

Display for set-up of vital paver functions on menu level 1.

Secondary functions on menu level 2.

As darkness falls, the paver operators console is back-lit

automatically, just like in a car. This makes night work
easy and relaxed.

Examples of Paver Functions

Reversing Conveyor Movement
To prevent material dropping from the conveyors during a move
of the paver on the job site, conveyor movement can be reversed
at the push of a button. Reverse movement, transferring material
from the rear of the conveyor tunnel back inside, takes place for
a short time only and stops automatically.

Display of the Paver Operators Console

The large, easy-to-read display shows vital information on menu level 1 such as the positions
of the screed tow point cylinders or the paving speed. Further paver functions such as speeds
for tamper and vibration or feed rate for the conveyors can easily be set up via the display, too.
And the display gives access to machine-related information such as fuel consumption or service hours.

No-Load Function
The no-load function is provided for the warm-up or cleaning
of conveyors and augers.

Potentiometer for Steering

For long curves with constant radii, the desired track position can
be preselected through the potentiometer for steering.
As long as this function is not deactivated, the feeder automatically
follows the curve without need for operator intervention.

Automatic Functions
For conveyors and augers, operators can easily select Manual Mode or Automatic Mode.
When selecting Automatic Mode for the augers, sensors installed for the material level in the
auger tunnel provide that exactly the desired amount of mix is spread in front of the screed.

Choice of Engine Speed Ranges

For the engine, there is a choice of 3 modes to select from: MIN, ECO, and MAX. To switch modes
for engine rpm, all the operator needs to do is press the arrow buttons, up or down. In ECO mode,
the engine delivers sufficient power for a great number of paving applications. Operating in
ECO mode reduces noise emission and fuel consumption considerably.

Choice of Operating Modes for the Paver

On the ErgoPlus console, 4 different operating modes for the paver are available to select from.
By pressing the arrow buttons, up or down, the operator changes modes in the following order:
Neutral, Job Site Mode, Positioning Mode and Paving Mode. An LED indicates the mode
selected. When leaving Paving Mode, a smart memory feature stores the last settings for paver
functions so that, when resuming work after a move of the paver on site, these settings are
restored automatically.

Screed Assist (Optional)

This button switches Screed Assist on (LED lights up) or off. Screed Assist pressure and balance
can be set via the display. Screed Assist is active only when the screed is floating.

VGELE ErgoPlus

The ErgoPlus Screed Console

The screed is crucial for pavement quality. Therefore, easy
and positive handling of all screed functions is of the utmost
importance for high-quality road construction.

With ErgoPlus, the screed operator has the paving process at

his fingertips. All functions are intuitively and logically arranged.

The Screed Console

The screed console is designed in keeping with the conditions prevailing on the job site. For the functions
operated from the screed console, push-buttons are provided. These are watertight and enclosed in a
perceptibly raised ring, so that they are identifiable blindfold simply by touch even when wearing work gloves.
Important paver and screed data can be called up and adjusted from the screed console, too.

The Display of the Screed Console

The display of the screed operators console allows him to control and monitor both the left and the right side
of the screed. Machine-related parameters such as tamper speed or conveyor speed can be adjusted conveniently
via the screed consoles display panel. The clear menu structure, combined with easily understandable,
universal, language-neutral symbols, makes operating the display panel both simple and safe.

Niveltronic Plus (Optional)

Niveltronic Plus, the cutting-edge VGELE system for automatic grade and slope control, is very easy to learn
and achieves outstanding paving results. All important functions of Niveltronic Plus can be accessed directly
on menu level 1. The operator is provided with a variety of information, such as the sensor currently selected
or the specified and actual values for layer thickness.
All sensors connected are recognized automatically by Niveltronic Plus and can be monitored and controlled
from either screed console.

Automatic Mode for Augers, Reversing Auger Rotation

Just like the paver operator, the screed operator, too, can select Manual Mode or Automatic Mode for
conveyors and augers. The function of Reversing Auger Rotation is very useful and convenient in practice.

easily monitor the pavers material feed. A low, sloped
engine cowling guarantees an unobstructed view into
the material hopper.

The seats, which swing out to the sides, and an operators

stand of streamlined design provide for maximum visibility
of the auger tunnel, permitting the paver operator to observe
the head of mix in front of the screed at all times.

Working Comfort
The ergonomically designed operator environment
allows for convenient and comfortable working
conditions.

Unique engine exhaust and fumes extraction provide

low noise and no heat at the operator station. Friendly
working conditions prevent operator errors and maintain
maximum operator efficiency.

A Place for Everything

and Everything in its Place
The operators stand with its streamlined design is well
organized, offering the paver operator a professional
workplace.
The operator console is protected by a cover to prevent
unauthorized access and vandalism.
Plenty of stowage space makes it easy to keep the machine
tidy. Access to all vital service points on the machine has
been designed to be extremely clear and ergonomic.

Electric Screed Heating

A consistent surface texture is provided by uniform
heating of the screed plates.
With the engine running at minimum rpm, the time
required for the screed to reach operating temperature
is reduced substantially due to an intelligent generator
management system. Typical heat-up time is 20 minutes.

With paver functions set to automatic, the generator

management system activates alternating mode for screed
heating (heats the screed alternately on the left and right),
a feature which reduces engine wear and fuel consumption.
