`ABSTRACT
`
`In a road construction machine (1) for the treatment of road
`surfaces with a milling drum (3) height-adjustable with
`regard to the milling depth, with a leveling device (4) with at
`least one controller (6a, 6c) which receives set values for the
`milling depth and/or the slope of the milling drum (3), and
`with at least one exchangeable sensor (A, B, C) or with
`several switchable sensors for registering the current actual
`value ofthe milling depth and/or the slope ofthe milling drum
`(3) relative to a reference surface, where the controller (6a,
`6c) effects a milling depth control and/or a slope control for
`the milling drum (3) conditional on pre-determinedset values
`and the currently measured actual values of the at least one
`sensor (A, B, C) by returning an adjustment value for achiev-
`ing or maintaining the set value during the milling operation,
`wherethe leveling device (4) is provided with an indication
`and setting device (2) for indicating and setting operating
`parameters forthe at least one sensor (A, B, C), it is provided
`that the indication andsetting device (2) ofthe leveling device
`(4),
`in addition to an indication and setting unit (2a, 2c)
`providedforthe at least one sensor (A, C) currently in use, is
`provided with an additional indication and setting unit (25)
`for a selectable sensor (B) that is to be exchanged for the
`sensor (A, C) currently in use.
