Abstract
An automated floorboard door for acquiring test data from an environment outside of an implement using a testing device and tester within the implement is disclosed. The automated floorboard door actuates from a closed position to an open position for the testing device to acquire data from the testing area below through an opening in the floorboard. Upon completion of testing, the automated floorboard door closes and seals the opening in the floorboard thereby closing the cab to the environment outside the implement. An enclosure on the implement protects a motor operating the testing device from dust, debris and presenting a fire hazard in the testing area.
