General information
1.1
Rights to changes
We try to ensure that these operationg instructions are correct and up to date. In order to
maintain our technical leadership, however, it might be necessary, without prior warning, to
make changes to the product and to its operation which, under circumstances, do not
correspond to the information given here. We accept no liability for disturbances, losses or
damages caused thereby.
1.2
The product is carefully packed to ensure sufficient protection during shipment. On receipt the
packaging and the contents should be inspected for possible damage.
Should there be signs of damage the equipment must not be operated !!!
Damaged cables and connectors are also a safety risk and must not be used !!!
In the event of damage contac ABG.
The equipment must be protected against humidity and dirt if it is not to be used immediately.
1.3
Safety measures
Warning:
Before assembly, setting up and operating the equipment read the operating instructions
carefully and fully. Should questions arise, contact your ABG supplier.
Safety precautions:
The safety precautions recommended here correspond to basic regulations regarding operation
of electrical systems. They can be applied for all applications in conjunction with ABG
equipment.
Assembly:
Only original ABG cables may be used. Plugs and sockets must not be removed from the cable
as they are protected against humidity and removing them would destroy their protection. Ensure
that the safety screw fasteners sit securely on the connectors . Further information about the
assembly of the equipment, and the sensors, can be found in the data sheets attached or in these
operating instructions.
Page 3
Maximum voltages:
Do not exceed the maximum voltages. The maximum voltage between any two circuits isolated
from one another, or between any isolated circuit and earth is, unless otherwise stated, limited
to its highest input voltage or the supply voltage. The connecting terminals or connectors must
be fitted with a suitable fuse.
Fuses:
The equipment is fitted with electronic fuses which protect it against wrong polarity, voltage
transients and overvoltages of short duration. The voltages specified in the technical data may
not be exceeded.
Page 4
Configuration:
The equipment can be configured by the user. It is the responsibility of the user to reconfigure
according to the operating conditions of the system.
Alarm supervision
In complex systems, in which a fault could endanger operating personnel or damage to the
system, it is advisable, to use an independent alarm unit. An independent alarm unit provides
protection and shut-down of the system in the event of an alarm. In many cases the use of an
alarm from within the controller itself does not, because of its dependence on the system, offer
adequate protection.
Explosive areas
The equipment is not designed for use in explosive areas.
Fault clearance
Before starting to clear faults make sure that all voltages have been disconnected. Defective
equipment should be tested in an area which has been especially built for this purpose. Any
attempt to remove faults from equipment that is still installed can be dangerous to personnel
and to the system itself. Before removing or replacing sensors make sure that the voltage
supply has been disconnected.
Ask for help
Ask your ABG supplier if you have questions concerning the operation and assembly of the
equipment.
Failure to observe the above safety measures can cause breakdown of the equipment
or of the system. Damages caused by such negligence are not covered by the
manufacturer's guarantee.

Introduction
2.1
The Grade Controller G 176 M and the Slope Controller S 276 M are two fully independently
working units which can be run separately but also together as a whole system for the automatic
control of level, direction and cross slope. The ABG levelling system is most commonly used
to control the screed position of the finisher, but also works successfully on milling machines,
concrete pavers, bulldozers and other construction machines.
The reliable automatic levelling system of ABG for the control of your road construction machine.
Increasing costs for material and operating time call for precise working at an according capacity
per day. The smallest fraction of a centimer during the laying of asphalt, or superfluous extension
of the operating time may represent for you the limit between profit and loss.
With the ABG level controller G 176 M you made the right choice.
All advantages at a glance:
Easy handling
Safe to false polarity and voltage peaks
Supply voltage 10 - 40 V DC
Control modules for Grade and Slope interchangeable
Optional connection for the ABG laser receiver

Sensing of a stringline
Switch the selector on the module to the GRADE position. Set the valve switch to the
STANDBY position.
The sensing tube must be attached to the
sensor arm. When attaching the sensor arm
take care that the flat side of the shaft is
oriented towards the front side of the controller
and that the fastening screw of the sensor arm
rests on the flat part of the shaft. Set the
counterweight of the sensor arm in such a way
that the sensor arm presses the sensing tube
onto the reference when the controller is set to
zero. The zero setting is achieved by positioning
the controller by means of the crank handle until
the two control lamps go out.

Maintenance
5.1
General information
The level controller has been 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.
5.2
Periodic maintenance
Normal repair procedures carried out in the open consist in replacing burned-out lamps and other
spare parts that have been located with the troubleshooting. 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.

The slope controller S 276 M can be mounted easily and rapidly with simple tools. The slope
controller must be mounted at the reference level (for pavers on the screed). The fastening plate
of the S 276 M has four fastening holes. The slope controller should be mounted in such a way
that easy operating of the device is possible.
