[. . . ] 2 Electric Heat and Easy to Use Features Increase Operator Comfort The AS2252C Vers-A-MatTM asphalt screed with electrically heated screed plates integrates an ergonomic control switch layout, and remote-mounted controls on the extenders. Screed Controls The main screed control panels are mounted on each side of the screed. The layout of each control panel promotes productivity and allows the screed operators to quickly make the necessary adjustments to the mat. an adjustable wrist rest mounted on each screed control panel provides operator comfort and reduces fatigue. [. . . ] False-Wall Design The false-wall design reduces mix contact with the sliding portion of the gate, providing easy gate adjustments. Bolt-on Design The bolt-on design allows easy end gate installation and removal when transportation concerns exist. Foldable Handles Foldable handles located on the end gate height adjustments allow them to be fully retracted for working close to barriers. Dual-Bolt Guides The dual-bolt guides allow smooth vertical movements and eliminate retention chains False Wall Design Foldable Handles Dual-Bolt Guides Control Panels A state-of-the-art electric heating system with easy-to-use controls that are located in the right place, allow the operator to make quick adjustments. Conveniently Located Controls The screed controls are conveniently located and easily recognizable to provide efficient operation. Electric Heat Control Panel The electric heat control panel includes three temperature settings that are able to accommodate a variety of asphalt mixes and paving conditions. Electric Heat Controller An electric heat controller automatically regulates screed plate temperatures to the selected setting. The controller requires minimal training in order to assist troubleshooting procedures. Adjustable Wrist Rest An adjustable wrist rest located on each screed control panel provides operator comfort when making screed adjustments. Electric Heat Control Panel Main Screed Controls 5 Serviceability The CANbus electrical system and easy access to the screed plate adjusters enables quick service. Quick Screed Plate Adjustment The threaded-bolt design located on the front and rear edge of the screed plates eliminate shims to provide quick replacement and leveling. Replaceable Wear Strips The wear strips located on the bottom of the end gate can be easily replaced in order to extend service life. CANbus Interface The CANbus electrical system on the screed provides an interface with the Advisor display on the tractor for simplified diagnostics. color-Coded Electrical Wiring Cat® electrical harnesses utilize a kevlar braid and nylon mounting blocks to protect against abrasion. 75") AS2252C Screed 305 mm (12") Extension 610 mm (24") Extension 2721 kg (6, 000 lb) 45 kg (100 lb) 84 kg (185 lb) A B C D E F G H Length with end gates (front to rear) Length without end gates (front to rear) Width with end gates Width without end gates Main screed plate width (front to back) Extender screed plate width (front to back) Height Walkway width (main) R G H E B A F D C 6 AS2252C specifications Optional Equipment Power Berm The power berm creates a 305 mm (12") or 457 mm (18") wide berm. Cutoff Shoe The cut-off shoe reduces the standard paving width from 2. Main screed plate width, measured front to back, is 457 mm (18") and the extender screed plates measure 229 mm (9"). Main and extender screed plates are constructed of Hardox 500 XF alloy steel that resists abrasion and extends wear life. [. . . ] Hydraulic System The extenders are hydraulically controlled with electric-over-hydraulic components. Hydraulic connections have O-ring face seal (ORFS) fittings and straight-thread O-ring (STOR) couplings to provide maximum protection against hydraulic system leaks. Integrity of the electrical system on Cat® machines is ensured with the use of high-quality components. The Caterpillar electrical standards, developed to enhance reliability and durability, feature soldered, molded, numbered and color-coded wires with nylon-braided wrap to protect the electrical harness.
