The control levers are direct-acting. The boom has hydraulic parallel holding of the
feeder, which means that all the holes can be drilled parallel to each other. Each cyl-
inder is marked using a colour coded system where the colour of the cylinder corre-
sponds with the colour marking on the lever that controls it. This simplifies learning
and makes it easier to directly select the correct direction for each lever. The speed of
the cylinders is proportional to the travel of the levers, which makes controlling the
boom smooth and adaptive.

FAM
Directional control FAM (Feed Angle Measurement) is available in two designs:

• FAM I with angle indication


• FAM II with angle indication and hole depth measurement

Angle indication involves measurement and indication of the feeder's direction. The
system calculates the deviation from the defined reference direction, which the
feeder's direction should give with a full-depth drilled hole. The deviation is pre-
sented in cm.

For the system to present the correct values, the user must specify a reference direc-
tion and a length for a full-depth drilled hole (not drill steel length).

The system also shows instantaneously the attained hole depth when drilling, if
equipped with hole depth measurement

7 Measured hole depth

The feed direction is shown graphically in the form of a target where the bull's-eye
represents the starting point of the hole. The target shows where the hole finishes up
in the bottom of the blast. If the feeder is directed according to the reference direc-
tion, the hole will end up in the centre of the target. Otherwise, there will be a devia-
tion that is indicated with a line (6).

According to the figure above, the hole will deviate about 7 cm both vertically and
horizontally.

The angle display will always be based on drilling the maximum depth of hole, i.e.
according to the value at (4). Maximum hole depth must therefore be set before angle
display will work.

The type of reference direction must also be chosen (3). If the rig symbol is chosen,
the system will use a predefined reference direction, i.e. the rig's longitudinal axis. If
the tunnel symbol is chosen instead, an optional reference direction can be defined.

If the hole depth measurement option has been chosen, the measured hole depth will
be displayed (7). This also means it is possible to zero hole depth measurement (1).

12. Climate unit

General
The system consists of a unit that cools when the rig is electrically connected. A sep-
arate heat source must be positioned in the cabin to provide heat.

For the air conditioning system to operate at maximum efficiency, it is important to


keep the cabin as clean as possible. Rubbish and dirt could otherwise get into the sys-
tem and clog it.

Air conditioning always works best if the cabin doors are kept closed.

The control panel is located in the roof of the cabin. The panel has a knob (B) for 3-

with the dampers (C) and the nozzles (D). When the dampers (C) are fully open the

existing air in the cabin is recirculated. Knob (E) is the thermostat where the timing
for switching the air conditioning on/off can be set as well as the required tempera-
ture.

Knob (A) is only available if the system has the additional heating element option,
and it provides the facility for turning the heating in the cabin on/off.

Tip

In high ambient temperatures


To obtain the best cooling performance at high ambient temperatures, we recommend
keeping the flaps (C) open so the fan recirculates the air in the cabin.

Fogging in the cabin


If the cabin's windows mist up then the fastest demisting method is to switch on the
air conditioning. Turn the thermostat (E) in order to start the air conditioning, and fan
(B) in order to regulate the air quantity.

APC 50 (Automatic Powershift Control)

Description of operation
The APC 50 shift control is used to prevent incorrect downshifting and changes in
direction of travel that otherwise could damage the transmission.

Speed reduction must be done by releasing the accelerator and using the service
brakes. Reducing speed by downshifting can damage the transmission and is there-
fore prevented with APC 50.

The direction of travel, from forwards to reverse or from reverse to forwards, may
only be changed while the rig is stationary. Changing the direction of travel while the
rig is in motion can damage the transmission and is therefore prevented by APC 50.

Changes in the direction of travel and downshifting can be done at the following
approximate speeds.

Table: Speed limits for downshifting and changing direction of travel


Shifting procedure Speed limit
3rd gear - 2nd gear 9 km/h
2nd gear - 1st gear 5 km/h
1st gear - Neutral 3 km/h
Changing direction of travel 0 km/h

When attempting to downshift or change direction of travel at the wrong speed, the
right-hand point of the display will flash to make the driver aware that this measure is
not allowed and will therefore be prevented by APC 50.

Every attempt to make a forbidden gearchange is registered by APC 50 and is saved


in its internal memory.
