How to Load a New Project File on the Machine

Introduction

Project files contain all of the design and control point data your ICT system needs. They are typically provided by your surveyor or project engineer and saved on a USB drive.

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • 🔴 Park safely first: Always park on firm, level ground, lower the work equipment, lock the control levers, and stop the engine before inserting or removing USB drives.

  • ⚠️ Do not disconnect cables from the ICT monitor while powered on, unless instructed.

  • ✅ Use approved file types: The machine accepts project files in Komatsu-compatible formats such as .TP3.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the file

    • Save the project file to the root directory of a USB flash drive (not inside a folder).

    • Make sure the file name is clear (avoid symbols or very long names).

    • Supported types: .TP3 (project file), plus associated design data formats.

  2. Insert USB flash drive

    • Locate the USB port on the side of the ICT monitor.

    • Insert the USB stick securely.

  3. Power on the ICT monitor

    • Turn the starting switch to ON (engine can remain off).

    • Wait for the ICT monitor to fully boot up (about 10–20 seconds).

  4. Open the File Menu

    • On the ICT monitor, tap the Menu button.

    • Select File → Project File.

  5. Import the new project file

    • Tap Input.

    • Select Import from USB.

    • Highlight your project file (.TP3) from the list shown.

    • Tap the checkmark to confirm import.

  6. Activate the project file

    • Once imported, the file will appear in your project file list.

    • Highlight it and tap Change Active.

    • The file name should now be shown as the active project file on your dashboard.

  7. Verify data

    • Check that the Design Data and Control Points load correctly.

    • Confirm that the correct surface/alignment is shown under Active Design Data.

Tips

  • If you get an error like “Data Load Failure”, the file may be too large or improperly formatted. Ask your surveyor\designer\engineer to simplify or re-export the data.

  • Delete old or unused projects to keep the ICT monitor memory from filling up.

  • If the project requires localization, make sure the correct Control Point file is included with the project.
