WINTER OPERATION SNOW PLOW GUIDE
SYSTEM OVERVIEW: WHAT IT DOES & HOW IT WORKS
THE SYSTEM
The GL3000PMC-E Guidance Laser uses an “ultra-
bright” green laser to establish wing plow trailing edge
location before you get there.
The laser spot impacts on the road/snow surface ahead
of the truck and shows the driver where the wing plow
trailing edge will be. The laser reference spot is on the
road and in the driver’s normal field of view.
The GL3000PMC-E is electronically designed for cold
weather operation. This laser is coupled to a special
heat source for the exit window to reduce or eliminate
ice build-up on the front of the laser output lens. The
GL3000PMC-E also has a unique pneumatic snow re-
moval system incorporated with the laser housing that
automatically fires a blast of air at the front of the laser
lens every 5 seconds. This removes snow build-up from
the laser output lens.
The laser housing is weatherproof, and hermetically
sealed and dry nitrogen charged for operation in virtu-
ally any weather condition.
THE PRODUCT
The GL3000PMC-E is a versatile all weather product
that can also be used for guiding highway paint stripers,
asphalt distributors, pavement profilers, or virtually any
other vehicle or equipment requiring line control. Use it
in the winter and summer for all your guidance needs.
Main Housing: Weatherproof, containing optic plate
mounting platform, micro processor electronics, laser,
laser mounting assembly, laser driver board, automatic
cooling and heating system, front window is automati-
cally heated to reduce or eliminate icing.
Pneumatic Air Blast Module: Removes snow build up
from laser exit window with automatic air blast every
5 seconds.
Control Panel In Cab: Allows the operator to turn the
laser on and off as well as the deicing and automatic air
blast functions.
20 Feet (6.09 Meters) of Interconnect Cable: With wa-
terproof mil spec in-line connector mounted between
