The PAC control system in detail

Paver Access Control (PAC) in detail

In the dark, the paver's lighting can be switched on first. Once the cover is open, the diesel engine can be started, the hardtop put up and the screed lowered for convenient ascent. The hardtop is locked automatically and the machine control system is booted up. This ensures safety, as the paver operator cannot forget to lock the hardtop, and saves time, as he can start heating the screed as soon as he steps onto the operator’s platform.

Paver operator’s console

ErgoPlus 5 paver operator’s console - Standard versus Premium Touch

Premium Touch

The Premium Touch version includes all the functions of the Standard version plus a large touchscreen on the left-hand side of the console, where data from Niveltronic Plus Assist, WITOS Paving, RoadScan, the weather station and the optional cameras can be called up. Premium Touch furthermore equips the paver for the future: digital solutions from VÖGELE can be monitored and adjusted here. It will also be possible to run future applications via Premium Touch.

Standard version

The interface of the ErgoPlus 5 paver operator’s console is arranged as clearly and intuitively as usual. The sophisticated concept has many small details which prove both practical and time-saving in operation. The shallow design of the console provides more legroom, whilst the improved display delivers a clear picture of a variety of parameters. An easy-grip SmartWheel for steering and a potentiometer for fine steering ensures that the “Dash 5” generation of pavers delivers maximum precision in use. The paver operator’s console also has storage space and a 12 V socket for charging mobile devices.

Lighting

The Lighting Package makes working in the dark much easier and safer. Good illumination of the workplace reduces the risk of operating errors and accidents. The Light Package Plus provides even better light conditions all around the paver. Powerful LEDs are integrated in a specially-developed hardtop extension and these fully illuminate the entire working area up to a pave width of ten metres and up to four metres behind the screed. This makes it unnecessary to fit and transport separate light balloons, which also increases the cost efficiency of the job site.

Light Package

  • LED lighting integrated in the hardtop and in the transverse guide of the control panel illuminate the paver operator’s workstation and all the service points accessible from the platform
  • LED illumination of the paver operator's platform
  • Illumination of the tow point rams
  • Three LED headlights which can be freely positioned using magnetic brackets
  • 230 V socket with earthing contact and electrical connections for light balloons

Light Package Plus

  • Additional powerful LEDs in a specially-developed canopy extension illuminate the entire working area up to a pave width of ten metres
  • If the Comfort Plus Package is used, selecting “convenient access” from the screed activates the light in the hardtop and perfectly illuminates access to the paver operator's platform.
  • Contains all the functions of the Light Package


Logistic Plus

Better logistics – shorter setup times

Logistic Plus allows all the components of the auger and fixed-width screed, together with accessories and fixtures, to be stored in an organized manner and to be transported to the job site safely. A Logistic Plus frame is available for extending the AB 500 and AB 600 standard screeds. The complete 0.75 m extension kit can be stored in it. Two Logistic Plus frames are available for the auger extension – one each for the left and right attachment sides. They can accommodate the 0.25 m, 0.65 m and 1 m extension kits for pavers SUPER 1800-5(i), SUPER 1900-5(i) and SUPER 2100-5(i). This means that the extension kits are always ready to hand on the jobsite.

  • Allows bolt-on screed extensions to be fitted without lifting gear
  • Clear arrangement in the preassembled state
  • All parts easily accessible for lifting gear
  • Centre of gravity remains the same whatever the rack load, simplifying transport
