“Smart Machine”. The 16M fully
integrates all core systems creating
a “Smart Machine.” The Cat data
link shares key data among systems,
optimizing machine performance while
preventing potential machine damage.
Electronic Technician (Cat ET). Cat ET
is a two-way communication tool that
gives service technicians easy access
to stored diagnostic data and lets them
configure the machine parameters through
the Cat Data Link. This integrated feature
reduces machine downtime and lowers
operating costs.
Diagnostics. Cat Messenger, combined
with full systems integration, enhances
the diagnostic capability of the 16M.
Machine system errors are displayed
in text as well as with fault codes,
allowing service technicians and
operators to quickly analyze critical
data, increasing machine availability.
Machine Security System (MSS).
The optional MSS uses electronically
coded keys to limit usage by specific
individuals or times of the day.
MSS deters theft, vandalism
and unauthorized use.
Product Link. The optional Product Link
system streamlines diagnostic efforts,
and reduces downtime, maintenance
scheduling and costs by providing a
communication flow of vital machine
data and location. Product Link gives
automatic updates on machine parameters
such as machine hours, machine condition,
location, fault codes and alarms directly
to your office computer.
Cat Messenger. Standard on the 16M,
Cat Messenger provides real-time machine
performance and diagnostic data with an
easy-to-use interface. Messenger monitors
all system data and alerts the operator of
any faults through a digital text display
that can be shown in multiple languages.
Low Battery Elevated Idle. After the 16M
is at low idle for an extended period and
low system voltage is detected, idle speed
is raised. This ensures adequate system
voltage and improves battery reliability.
Automatic Engine Deration. Protects the
C13 engine by automatically lowering
engine torque output and alerting the
operator if critical conditions are detected.
Optional Automatic Blade Control.
The Caterpillar AccuGrade System
automatically controls the blade,
improving operator efficiency and
productivity. AccuGrade™ technology
reduces the need for traditional survey
stakes or grade checkers, so you can
reach grade faster and in fewer passes
than ever before.
AccuGrade Attachment Ready Option.
The AccuGrade System is fully
integrated into the machine design,
making installation quick and easy.
Integral hydraulic and electrical
components are standard on the 16M
(Grade Control Ready). The AccuGrade
Attachment Ready Option provides
additional mounting brackets, cab
controls and electrical harnesses for easy
installation of the Cross Slope, Sonic,
Laser, GPS or ATS electronics kits.
